[Q] Samsung Movies App - Question regarding format to download for Galaxy Note

Hey all,
I have redeemed my £65 movies voucher from the Samsung Movies app and have selected to buy Happy Feet for my son. I selected buy the movie, the voucher reduced by £10, but nothing happened.
Fair enough, I thought, I'll log in with my computer and see what's going on. It turns out that the movie is available to download, but in various formats for various Samsung mobile devices, but the Note isn't a listed format.
The options are:
Galaxy Tab
Galaxy S
i8910 HD
Beat DJ
Wave
Classico
Tocco Ultra
Jet
Any ideas which format I should select? I know it's very easy to get movies through other means, but I thought I should at least try the official option. I love my Galaxy Note, but this would never happen on iTunes Why include the voucher if the Note isn't a compatible format....

Galaxy note supports any formats and any resolutions. You throw in any dust... it will play. Don worry about compatible.

My guess the Galaxy Tab would be closest to the quality you want to see on your Note.

i think galaxy tab 7.7

I've chosen the Galaxy Tab option - wish me luck!

Just in case anyone else has the same problem as me, the Galaxy Tab format plays fine on the Note.

Doesn't it give any HD options? 720p? (so you can play on your tv)

I would assume the galaxy tab option would be HD?

Dell Venue 8 miracast?

I have a windows 8.1 dell venue 8 pro. There is no way to connect micro usb to hdmi to tv that includes sound. I understand the dell is miracast compatible. (whatever that is). Is there any way to mirror streaming xfinity video from my venue 8 pro to my samsung smart tv using miracast or any other means you know of? Thanks!

MHL - does it have it?

I have the white Samsung mhl 2.0 dongle that I used with my S5 and Note 4.
The S6 family didn't support mhl, and wanted to know if the note 5 does.
Thank you.

At the risk of sounding stupid....What is MHL??

MHL cables (dongles) are used to connect the phone direct via cable to an HDMI TV, basically screen mirroring minus the lag from chromcast type wireless devices.
all of Samsungs phones until the S6 used MHL, but then they stopped...so I was wondering if theres any official document showing if the Note will have it.

They stopped? Wth?

i just read another post, the S6 is not supported, also want to know if the latest S6+ Edge supported or not.

The note 5 does not support mhl. You cannot connect it to the tv with a wired connection.

You can connect your phone directly to your computer for free and watch videos see pi

VR using cheaper headset and remote? Still possible?

So I'm interested in VR. Looks like the inexpensive headset from Samsung ($99) doesn't support the note 4 without physically modifying the unit for the note 4 to fit? I'm going by what I've read and seen on YouTube as I have not tried for myself.
While searching around, I've found several generic VR headset that come with a Bluetooth remote controller for about $20.
My question is for those familiar with VR. Seems to me like when you dock your note 4 in a Samsung VR headset via USB it put the phone in a VR mode where you can launch and control games, videos, etc...
So can you do the same with one of these generic headset that do not have a usb docking port?
Obviously I'm sure you could play VR youtube videos, but what about the occulus gallery? The VR specific games? Can you force the note 4 into whatever VR mode the Samsung branded headset initializes (by usb docking) without it being usb docked?
Hoping someone who has used VR on the note 4 will chime in with some advice.
Many thanks in advance.

I'm curious to this too.

I bought a Samsung branded gear VR, the consumer edition ($99 one) on Craigslist and cut it to fit my note 4. All the controls work by my rom isn't loading the oculus gear VR software, so I've been using it with google cardboard stuff. Youtube videos, cardboard games and stuff. It works fine as a fancy cardboard. Just thought I'd let that be known.

Android auto and galaxy note 7?

Has anybody gotten Android auto to function with the galaxy note 7? I just picked one up due to getting too many faulty HTC 10'S and I was wondering if there's any way I can get this to work on my pioneer sph-da120. This radio has been a nightmare for me because I haven't been able to get any Android phones to work on it

That radio is an AppRadio. It's not compatible with Android Auto. It is compatible with Pioneer's AppRadio app.
I doubt the Note 7 is MHL compatible, so you'd need to use mirrorlink or a Chromecast to work with that phone. I used a Chromecast for my AppRadio 2.

If you have no media audio option that's the typical problem many note 7s have. I could not get it to connect to my 2013 optima either same as any others w/ kia/hyundai as well as other cars.
