showtime app - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can watch showtime on my fire hd 7, but when I try to watch showtime on the tv through the hdmi cable it just won't play. Any suggestions

Does anything show at all? or is it just showtime?
I use mine all the time via HDMI

[Q] How to connect SGM to TV?

Hi,
I have Samsung UA-32C5000 32" TV and I want to connect my Galaxy Mini to it because I want to watch some movies from my SD card, but unfortunately my TV doesn't recognize my phone, I know it is a driver problem. How to fix this? I can't find a solution by myself, maybe some of you can help?
Thanks.

I read a long time back that samsung phones can be connected to tv...and games can be played..with the video o/p being on tv. but have not tried it yet...
i'm not helping in anyway now
AFAIK,
it's need something like HDMI output from your handheld to TV (like samsung Galaxy SII), which is GT-S5570 doesn't, CMIIW.......

I don't see any HDMI port on Galaxy Mini, so i think it is not possible to view tv or play games or music on your tv. Unless you can connect via USB. But, that doesn't allow playing games. (You might be able to access your sdcard contents though, but not so sure!)
Usually I just plug in my USB flash drive to watch movies, but I don't have it around at the moment, so I was wondering if it's possible to read only from sdcard... (to use it like a USB flash drive)

Don't know about that (I probably don't have a Samsung TV and won't have it atleast for next 5-10 years, if any i would)... But, if there is USB port in your TV, then you might be able to play videos and songs in the flash disk. Why don't you try and see for yourself?
I connected my phone through USB cable but TV doesn't recognize it.
Sorry, works now!

*double facepalm* wonder the quality of 240*320 video on 2560*1600
Its awful
* super triple facepalm * Phone's screen resolution doesn't affect the movie's quality/resolutuion. lol. For example, my USB flash drive doesn't have display at all and I am watching 1080p movies from it.

If u hav 1080p movies in ur flash drive then watch it on tv is a gud experience

TV out, Miracast or anything like it?

It's driving me nuts. The only thing that stops the the Nexus 7 being nothing more than a toy or glorified ebook for me is the fact I cannot find any form of big screen streaming for it. My 2 year old phone has MHL abilities which is okay but someone must know if there are any plans for the Nexus 7? It seems to be ridiculous to have such a powerful device and not be able to use it on a bigger screen.
I've searched back 10 pages on this subject and found nothing so welcome any fresh perspectives on it.
BubbleUPnP and make a DLNA server, I use it to connect to my TV and Xbox.

+1 to BubbleUPnP...
Though screen mirroring is not possible in BubbleUPnP, you can throw any media from it to your TV or other
DLNA enabled devices...
Luckily, my TV has WiFi dongle and Wi-Fi direct feature...
so, once my device is connected to the TV via WiFi-direct, launch BubbleUPnP and select the TV as renderer, I can
throw any media to the TV...
I'm also hoping and wishing for the screen mirroring...
Hi I will look at BubbleUPnP, I've been using Skifta for the time being which does DNLA quite well.
I use my PS3 as a receiver but it doesn't support many file formats.
It's a real shame the Nexus doesn't at least support MHL.

chrome tab casting from android?

I love tab casting from my pc, but it's in another room. I can't pause video that I'm watching. Will chrome for android be getting an update to allow tab casting?

You could use splashtop to connect to the pc casting, and control like that. I do not have a chromecast yet, but that is what I plan on doing as my main pc is several rooms away from the living room tv.

I use Splashtop to cast tabs to my TV via my tablet and it works brilliantly :good:. My PC is in another room but is cabled to the router which sits next to the TV.

Miracast

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 would love to see a picture of this working... Does it mirror the entire screen?
Correct. I was streaming movies from my Plex app to my phone and having it mirror to my tv. Than my fiance took a pic with her phone and beamed the photo to me without interrupting the mirror

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?
and whats your setup like?
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?

XBMC Devs are not interested in CCast at all...
And if you even ASK or Suggest they should support it their standard answer is you should support it yourself!
What tablet do you have? If it is not natively supported for screen mirroring, use the mirror enabler app in this forum and try screen mirroring from the tablet.
Another possible solution, although i dont even know if its possible or would work well, is to setup your chrome browser as an external player for xbmc, then once the stream loads in chrome browser, use tab casting. Research about playercorefactory.xml for xbmc for guides
---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------
Another thing to consider is that if sound in xbmc is off sync you can change the audio offset setting to match things up correctly
oorrr ditch xbmc altogether, and go plex worked for me, and not looked back mucheo better !
1. Download Chromecast 1.7.4
2. Turn on Cast Screen
3. Start XBMC.
Supported devices.

Nexus 5
Nexus 7 (2013)

is there no way to use my pc? (besides tab casting which also has lagging..) some transcoding software maybe?
have you tried BubbleUPnP ???
you can select the XBMC library im sure (as you can plex) then choose external player, and boom ya in !!!!

Try Cast2TV app on android. you can cast from XBMC-Android to Chromecast (obviously you need to set your playercorefactory.xml).

Thats is what Cast2TV does, If the link is not supported by Chromecast, it transcodes on the fly to supported formats. support .m3u8, rtmp and rtsp live streams as well as .mkv, .flv formats.
I wont buy this to be honest......most of the streams dont work using free version.
