Okay, when I plug my tablet into my cheapo Insignia TV via HMDI I get tablet on TV, yay! Navigate to play a video I downloaded via Google Play, yay it's there. Press play, yes there's volume and a pic...wait where'd the picture go!? Both tablet and TV go black screen while the TV plays the volume. Sup wit dat? I tried HDMI 1 + 2 ports into the TV. Dunno what to do but I think my family would appreciate Despicable Me, and other flicks, more on 42" instead of 10" . Help!
I believe this is an issue with Goggle Play video and it does not do HDMI out.
Seems to work fine for me outputting to a Sony 40" TV with a free episode I got of Shaun the Sheep. Not sure if there might be a difference in DRM though.
Also, I'm running KatKiss 4.3 on mine. Are you on stock? I have seen some mention of this issue being fixed on certain ROMs. frederuco do you know if Timduru may have this fix in KatKiss?

I uses to be able to watch TV show stream and my videos on my TV via the g2x HDMI out even with root and eb and cm7 then I went back to stock for a bit and the HDMI stopped working on the same TV using the same cable now all I get is a blank screen and no sound but it says playing on other screen so it obviously recognizes the cable... has anyone else come across this?
I have an older TV without an HDMI port. Is there a way to stream video from my phone to the TV?
I believe this should do the trick:

And then you need MHL adapter for the phone:

EDIT:
Now that I think of it Iam not sure how well thats going to play out. Its very likely that the resolution the phone puts out is too high and the image will be strecthed out of the screen.
I am not able to get any of my movies to play from Google Play Movies after I updated to 4.2.1. I have searched around and see that other may have been having the same problem. I am NOT rooted or unlocked and these are purchased movies and tv shows from play.
The crazy thing is I have used the same TV, cord, and tablet to play the movies in the past and it worked just fine. Now they will play when I have the HDMI unplugged but as soon as I plug it it, the screen changes to an HDMI screen on the tablet (mirrored on the TV) and the loading circle spins until the display turns off.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Me too
Have you had any luck with this? I updated recently and found exactly the same thing, I can no longer play them on my TV. Google have had me reset the phone a few times, no difference.

maybe wrong thread its a tablet not a phone.
I picked up the Shield Tablet and I'm trying to run Super Mario Brothers ROM through RetroArch. The display is perfect, but when connected to HDMI through both console mode and mirror mode, I have some latency going to the TV. It feels like everything is shown half a second after it happens, which is a big deal for a game. I am using the same HDMI cable and connector that can hook up to my computer and play the same ROM with no lag, so I don't believe it's the cable or the TV.
Is anybody using any kind of emulator on the nvidia shield tablet over HDMI without lag?

I haven't had any issues using PPSSPP emulator hooked up to my TV in console mode. I do notice sometimes the audio isn't sync'ed but changing the setting in the PPSSPP emulator - audio latency to high solved the issue when connecting to TV. so I would believe it could just be some settings you gotta tweak about with to get it perfect.
I would try running something else to narrow the issue down, as it might just be that emulator your using on the shield.
No problems here either, was playing God of War and Tekken Dark Resurrection and Wipeout Pure to my HDTV via the Shield the other night without lag issues.
Make sure you turn off any features of your TV that might cause this. I know that my TV has a video "smoothing" feature that will add in additional frames to make video smoother but it makes video games almost unplayable with any console that I've tried because of the delay that is has. See if your TV has a video game mode.
I have three OPOs which will play Netflix just fine, and cast non-Netflix video from the phone to the TV, via Netgear P2TV dongle or strain to my Samsung TV. However, I can not find a solution to cast Netflix from the OPO to the TV! My G3 works just fine, either directly to the TV or via the NetGear. Both phones are on KK 4.4.4s
I've searched a bit for solutions about XDA and other locations, and see very little about this, and no answers. Does anyone have success casting Netflix, and if so is there something additional/different than standard casting that I need to do?
Thank you.
