Movies play fine on the phone, however, when connected to tv via mhl cable the playback is extremely slow both video and audio! Any solution?
Use bsplayer

I've never used bsplayer but used Mxplayer and it worked for me fine.
Just try both bsplayer and Mxplayer

No joy. I've tried many different players. It plays back fine on the phone but as soon as its hooked up to tv via mhl it affects playback (becomes slow motion like) but plays back normal as soon as its unplugged from the mhl cable!?
Generic Mhl cable works fine when using other phones like galaxy s2
Go to service in phone dialer then check your settings. Maybe set it to 720p?

hi,
i already got the mhl adapter for micro usb to hdmi, thats working fine,
but i there a solutuion to do this wireless.
i dont only want to stream videos or audio, i want to have the full homescreen streamed.
the reason is, i want to connect an external hdd via usb
thank you
easiest way is probably ipad2/iphone4s with apple TV2 on IOS5
check this out for android
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
which does the same thing except in place of Apple TV2, you need a PC there.

I think DLNA is your only option there. You need a TV with dlna support.

As the title suggests, I'm unable to stream video, this all happened after upgrading from CM9 to CM10. I've tried different apps, YouTube, TED, Netflix, neither work.
I can watch regular videos just fine, including 720p.
Any ideas what's up?

Did you tried those streaming videos on any other phones as well.
Yes, the videos work fine on other devices...
I am able to watch clips stored on my phone, regular files, and I am able to watch clips on other devices (watched some 720p videos from my laptop with MX Player)
I am unable to stream video whether they are in the browser, the YouTube app; TED Talks app; Netflix app, or anything else.
What happens when I try is the thing loads, the duration of the clip is shown in the progress bar, but it refuses to play, just goes in an endless loop of looking like the buffering is finished.

try vplayer and see if it helps
I don't think you understand.
I don't have a problem with regular video clips (which is what vplayer does), i have a problem solely with streaming video.

Hi. First of all, did you fix permissions when you installed cm10? Was it a clean install? If so, try to stream your videos over WiFi, not over EDGE network. A few months ago I was unable to watch you tube videos on my PC and on my phone over WiFi (over 3G network it worked) and I called my ISP after that, in 2 days everything was just like before. YouTube worked again. So, it may be a problem with your ISP too (if using WiFi from home although is less probable).
Ultimately you can try dalvik/cache wipe and reinstall cm10 or try a different ROM, maybe it's gonna solve the problem.
I hope this helps.
Naw it wasn't a clean install (when going from CM9), I did the usual dalvik wipe but that was it. I was going to do a clean install once CM10 stable came out anyway, so I guess I'll take your advice and do a proper upgrade now...
The problem is persistent btw, wifi or 3g doesn't make a diff, but lets see what happens after the wipe.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
So I did a proper install: full wipe, installed cm10 stable, and flashed semaphore kernel 2.6.0.
After restoring my backup, everything worked. YouTube, TED, Netflix, regular video playback, all good.
Then today, no go, video playback works, but streaming video in either apps no longer works.
The only difference between today and before is that I tried using H/W+ decoder in MX Player, could that have broken it somehow?
Before posting I fixed permissions and rebooted, no change.
Ideas?

Well. S4 is quite powerfull for our device and well. Its kinda useless unless you do something that requires that firepower. Well Sony has put a great H/W mhl chip and it can interpolate the screen to FullHD if you have proper cable and tv. Watching Hd movies is a pleasure but only sometimes. I know English and i dont need subtitles. But when i wana watch a film with my family. And its full HD. I cant. S/W decoding lacs and it shows subtitles. H/W is perfect and smooth but Sony didnt make subtitles to be shown over H/W decoding on the big screen. Have anyone found a way to show subtitles ?
So the solution is to download VLC for Android and enable Hardware acceleration in options. It plays 1080p uncomressed videos perfectly and supports subtitles over the MHL cable

And I believe it's got nothing to do with Sony, it's a limitation of the technology, because Dice player offers an expliciely stated experimental feature for subtite output via hdmi. I'd have to check if its for Samsung devices only though, I believe I remember the option saying that.
Side question: most fullhd tvs feature a usb port nowadays anyway, why not use that and play your stuff directly on the tv if the technology doesnt seem to be really there...?
Re: MHL Videos
I agree. Or you could download screen standby in play store. Try if it could reduce lag when using SW rendering

Nope, it's not the same: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Relationship_with_MHL
Different connector, different wireing, different (altered) protocol. Nope, not the same.
Well it's not possible on your phone but you have a PC. There's plenty of tools to be found in the allmighty internet allowing you to easily overlay the subtitles onto your existing video. They will be a part of the "images" then though. Depending on the firepower at your disposal, such an encode takes somwhere between 10-30 minutes per movie for a typical hollywood blockbuster.

Yep. Well i asked a person who edits videos and he said that it cant be hardcoded. Butt. thanks for the info. Although I really want sony to implement subtitles over MHL. And i mean there is no difference if i say HDMI or MHL. MHL is a convertor and it decodes colors different way. But it has aboslutly the same posibilities.

I known dis posts old but if u don't have a TV with WiFi support like mine. What I so is turn on my 360 slim connect to my WiFi at home connect my s3 mini to that same WiFi then stream songs videos and pictures straight to the TV . If using stock ROM when watching video look at top left corner will be a icon of TV should have a number in it if it detects your TV through your ps3/4 or Xbox 360/s thanks.
Anyone using Miracast on the X yet? What adapter are you using? Picture quality good?
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
Yes and it is amazing. I bought actiontec screen beam from Amazon for $59 and mirror my X and Asus Taichi and it is sweet. Actually works better with phone. Mirrors beautifully at 1080p. Barely any lag. Downloaded an mkv yesterday and couldn't get me taichi to work perfectly with the mirroring so I put the mkv on phone, downloaded archos video player, and the mkv played flawlessly to my TV.

Yes. I bought a Panasonic Bluray player with Miracast shortly after I got my Nexus 4. Was really disappointed with the lag. Moto X didn't work any better. Maybe the Panasonic player sucks? Maybe Miracast just isn't ready for prime time?

i bought the X withough looking into the MHL/HDMI thing. i was going to buy a new car stereo that would allow me to control the phone through HDMI but it looks like i need to look into something new. i'm hoping i can use a miracast adapter w/ an HDMI input on a car stereo with no problem
How does it behaves with games. Can you try a PSX emulator with a PS3 controller? sounds like a nice portable console

The netgear push 2 tv ptv3000 works great with the appradio 2 and the arliberator, I'm hoping to have a chance to upload a video later so you can see it working.
I just got a Moto X and have an Appradio 2. have you got it working?
Any interference with the picture because it is wireless?

Miracast with 5ghz. Possible no lag?
I tried miracast , and it is really awsome to view movies and to watch netflix on TV. There is a possibility to see the moto x screen on TV, thru wi fi direct.
But to play games the lag is too much, and its impossible to play fast games like need for speed.
Today i'm travelling and can't make this test at my smart tv, but could it be possible and reduce the lag if i use the wifi 5ghz speed?
Can anybody try is it reduce the lag?
