Firestick 4k HDCP 2.2 issue - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I have a Firestick 4K which I want to stream from through a Yamaha YSP 2500 Sound bar to my 4k TV. I cannot stream at 4k at present because the Firestick recognises that the the Sound bar is not HDCP 2.2 compliant. Does anyone know if any of the so called HDCP or EDID emulators out there actually work with a Firestick 4K input? I could start buying them from Amazon one at a time and returning if they don't work but I would rather not resort to that as a first measure.
thank you

tf300 hdmi to tv - no subs?

When i connect the tf300 to the tv with a hdmi cable, the video and sound plays on the tv only and the subtitle plays only on the pad. Anyone else had this problem? I have tried mx, bs, dice etc and always the same issue..
When using mx video player use software decoding for video and you will be able to see the subs on the screen, but the video will be displayed both on the tv/monitor and the t300.
But this also happens on netflix and since the app doesn't have any settings for video decoding the subs will not appear on the hdmi output

Does video streamed via MHL depend on resolution of android phone?

I want to know if video streamed through MHL depends on the resolution of the screen of the android phone. For example if I stream a 4K video to a 4K tv on a Note 3 or a MHL 3.0 capable device, will the video only be played at 1080p because of the screen resolution of the note or will it be streamed in full glory like in DLNA??
I also want to know if this is the case with the Z1 compact and the SGS3 which have 720p screens. Will 1080p video be streamed at 720p??
I understand that in the case of screen mirroring for games and such this is the case as obviously you are only streaming what is on the screen.
But MHL plays only the video and does not display the controls and such many times which is why I ask.
If you do not know, please do not make guesses.
Thank you.

[Q] 4k video

Hi,
the latest versions of VLC are able to play with no issues 4k contents, you can get the nightly builds directly from here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/
Otherwise the new version MX Player Pro v1.7.31 supports now the K1 natively but it crash often, I tested it.
As far as I see some video are played directly smoothly with the built-in player.

it plays 4k video but does it display in 4k? i have a sieki 65 4k tv and when i connect my shield tablet to the TV it says 1080p 60hz when i press display button on my tv, this is outside of any video player. I know it can play the some samsung 4k sample clips i have but its not true 4k since it crops some of the video.

Stream 1080p 60fps to TV

I have a high end samsung Tv 60hz. I can stream 30fps video fine from my GS6 but when i try 60fps video, it said frame rate 59 not supported. Is this because the TV cant handle the 60fps on its own through wireless? Do i need a middle man like the shield console or forge TV to stream 60fps content? Can anyone confirm that they can stream FHD 60fps on to there TV wirelessly w/o a middle man? Do i need 120hz to achieve this?
