[Bug Report] Dex, Chromecast Mirror & HDMI Mirror to TV Issues Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 - MX Player

[Bug Report] Dex, Chromecast Mirror & HDMI Mirror to TV Issues Samsung Galaxy Tab S4
This seems weird to me...
I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 for Christmas this year, running Android 8.1
I'm having some weird issues with my tablet:
MX Player runs fine when just playing local videos on the tablet. This includes videos I know have AC3 audio. It was set up for the Neon Codec pack when I copied it over. I assume the codec is OK, because it plays fine on the tablet. But...
If I mirror the screen to TV, either with a USB-C to HDMI adaptor or by casting to a Chromecast with Google Home or Samsung SmartView, the video plays fast and choppy. If I use the HDMI to TV in Dex Mode, it is even worse.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is going wrong? Could it be the wrong codec pack? I've tried both the default and the Neon (I used Neon on my Tab S2 running Android 7). Both work fine with the table on its own, but fail miserably when I do any kind of casting.
Thanks,
Joe

Anyone using DicePlayer?

Has anyone here been using DicePlayer as their video player? I just bought it recently after the dev fixed a subtitle issue I pointed out on the spot.
It can play 1080p high profile MKV's with just about any audio format (AC3, FLAC, etc.) on the Infuse and Galaxy S series without any sort of lag or reduced quality. Even the Galaxy S2 can't do that out of the box (it fails the "birds" test). Everything is completely hardware accelerated, so it doesn't drain battery as much as software players—CPU sits at 400MHz during playback. It also has the second-best subtitle rendering (internal MKV SSA/SRT supported) I've seen behind MX Video Player.
And best of all, it works with ANY ROM. MKV support was one of the few things originally holding me back from using non-Samsung ROM's, but now I can watch my Bluray rips on MIUI or CM7 without any issues.
THANK YOU! I've been looking for the perfect video player for CM7, and this one is it. Now I just have to wait for MHL functionality...

good find. if it weren't for mhl I might run cm7 or miui with that. also just a comment, its a shame that the manufacturers can't write software this good, and the ones that can don't care to offer it to the customer. imagine if Samsung had full documentation on mhl and all the video drivers, developers like the creater of this app could make these phones amazing.
Awesome man thanks a ton. Been looking for a MKV playerfor my infuse for a while that actually WORKS
ok guys the developer doesnt have this up for purchase now because of a problem with their account but i was playing with this and the mhl together and it actually doesnt mirror when using mhl, it output native resolution of the video just like the samsung player but scans better and plays smoother! i highly recommend this app to all!. i downloaded some 1080p trailers and played them through a computer monitor and there is no way they were playing at a lower resolution the clarity was amazing. i would have expected it to be downconverted to the res of the phone screen but no, something with the way the video drivers and opengl libraries are working gives the mhl full hd output with dice player as well as the samsung player. but the subtitles dont play through mhl, something i can live with for sure. also the annoying touch screen controls dont output through mhl unless it is in software decoding mode which is a plus.
i cant wait till they get their market account fixed so i can buy this app.
Free version currently still shows
*** Currently can not purchase the full version because the checkout account is suspended.
This is the only video player I found that could playback 720p mkv smoothly through dnla on my Samsung Galaxy S. Here's my setup.
Samsung Galaxy S / Skifta / Diceplayer (Full purchased off the market in Nov 2011)
Server running Serviio dnla server
1080p stutters but I think that is down to the single core in the Galxy S. 720p smooooooth.
I paid £3.35 in Nov for the full version of Diceplayer from the market but now can't reinstall since changing rom as I can't download it again from the market?
I didn't backup my apps with titanium before doing the upgrade or I could restore the app only.
I have emailed the developer with my receipt but have received no reply.
I could try and get hold of the apk but am unsure if the market license check will work when there is a problem with the developers checkout account?
Any ideas?

If you bought it through the market, you should be able to redownload it through your Google account. I recently reinstalled DicePlayer through the market, even with that notice on the market page (although it was on the same ROM). Also, 1080p doesn't stutter on my Captivate. It's probably the video, as even certain 720p videos stutter on my Infuse with DicePlayer (but only a specific couple of files).

[Q] AllShare to Panasonic TV

My Panasonic Plasma has DLNA in the Viera tools... is there any way to share my note screen onto the tv without an accessory for the Note?
Not possible at the moment. Hdmi adapter or allshare cast dongle still needed.

AllShare is Samsung's branding for everything related to media sharing. You can output media to any DLNA device from within the stock video and audio player. An icon with what looks like a TV in motion appears when a device is available. It's how I connect to my HTC dongle. You can mirror the Note with Samsung's dongle but it's not necessary just for DLNA media output.

I think you can, depening on what you want to share.
I have the latest Samsung ES8000 TV but I almost never use Allshare. Instead I use the iMediaShare app (paied version)on the Note and S3.
With iMediaShare I can show albums, videos, play music to the tv.
But what I use most is submitting movies from a DLNA-disk connected to my router. When, with iMediaShare on the Note, I choose a movie on the DLNA-disk I want to see. IMediaShare lists up DLNA-devices including Local Android(The Note) and I can choose where I want to view the movie. If I choose the TV the movie will play, without showing the picture on the screen on the Note. But I can control start/stop, wind/rewind and sound volume from the Note.
For some reason, unknown to me, playing movies on the TV plays more formats than using Allshare on the TV. Serveral times I have experienced that Allshare on the TV says it can't play the format. But with iMediaShare most of them works fine.
And the funny thing is that I can power off the Note after starting playing a movie. The movie still plays on the TV.
So for people with a DNLA-enabled tv and the Note I would highly recommend you to try out iMediaShare (unpaied) from Google Play,
PS. My TV has 5Ghz WIFI and I have no lag or buffering problems playing BR-movies form the DLNA.disk.

[APP] Video Player Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

I tested using the SemperVidLinks + Stock Video Player of galaxy tab 2 7.0 and I could stream a youtube video over dlna to my samsung TV that is not a smart tv, just have dlna and a rj45 connector.
I was thinking if anyone could send me this apk to install in my Moto X or could suggest another way to stream youtube videos to TV than the twonky bean or bubbleUpnp (this two apps works, but with high res stop a lot of times to buffer).
In my country google don't sells chromecast yet =/

Netflix doesn't show video

I'm using my chromecast through the hostpot on my galaxy S7, when I cast my screen to my chromecast and I want to use Netflix it doesn't show the video, just audio. I did the same before with my galaxy s5 and I had no problems with this. What can I do?
