Just ordered my HDMI cable and wanted to know is it possible to watch movies from the internet on my TV. Like hulu or megavideo? Idk if there r any hacks or custom rims I'm new sorry. And thanks
Anyone have an answer? Please
Works fine for me. Youtube and other movie sites that I frequent play through hdmi to my hdtv.
The image displayed on your tv will be the size that would he displayed on your evo so don't expect any kind of fullscreen display. The evo acts as the movie controls when using the hdmi video out.
Looks great on my 55 and 60, don't know jow it would look on something smaller.
Thanks. But your saying that its only gonna be like 5 in on the screen? Bc that's how big it would be on the evo..? Kinda confused

Yes that's exactly what I am saying. The screen resolution that would be displayed on the evo is what would be displayed on your tv. Slighty bigger of course on the tv but not fullscreen.

What ROM are you using that allows this functionality!??!
I believe Youtube should work, and so should any video that's played through the system's media player, but not the hulu app (The hulu app is just a tweaked browser). HDMI out doesn't show what's on your Evo's screen, it shows what's either playing through the built in system player (so RockPlayer, etc. doesn't show) or what the default slideshow app is showing.
Also, don't see why you can't fill your screen with the video. On all of my TVs, I can generally stretch out my videos to the extent of the screen's edges at about 720p.

I think you're confusing yourself. I never said the evo screen is displayed. The op asked about video being displayed through hdmi and I said it works fine for me.
As for not being fullscreen, the image passed from the evo through hdmi gets pixelated as it is. Do you really want to stretch that? I pass my hdmi cable through my denon receiver which does not upconvert hdmi signals....only analog. Even at that, stretching through my receiver or tv distorts the already pixelated image. But hey, if you want to stretch your images thats on you.

The Evo's screen resolution doesn't determine the resolution of the video being sent out through HDMI. That's determined by the resolution of the video file or stream itself. For instance, I play a lot of 720p videos from vimeo.com, and they appear to stream through the Evo and out the HDMI as their full 720p. And I'm 100% sure that 720p video files playing directly from the Evo go out as 720p through HDMI. I do that all the time and it looks great. Of course, a lot of stuff on youtube and other sites aren't very high resolution, or you may be served lower resolution versions since you're on a mobile platform. Those would look like crap if they were stretched to full screen on a big TV. But my point is, it's the video site, not the Evo or its screen size that determines it.

meaning the resolution of the video file on the evo screen when watching browser videos (such as youtube, vimeo, etc) would be displayed. I said don't expect fullscreen which pertained to MOST video sites (youtube as an example) that do not stream full 720p video all the time. If you are watching a true 720p file on the evo and output it through hdmi of course it will be fullscreen 720p. When watching youtube videos and you watch the sd versions it won't be fullscreen.
The op never asked about 720p videos in the first place only simply hdmi and browser videos. Like I said, most browser videos are not in full 720p. And if you have to stretch a file to fit a 720p screen it's not a native 720p.
I was answering the op staying within the bounds of his question but everyone else had to take it beyond what he asked. No where in the op's title or first post did he mention anything about 720p output through hdmi. The question was simply enough if hdmi worked for browser videos.

It's no big deal. People often say one thing when they mean another. I was just clarifying it so nobody else was inadvertently misinformed.

Understandable, which is why I stayed within the bounds of the ops question. While what I said was not misinformation, I probably could have worded it better. Either way, I do believe I made the points that pertained to the op's question clear.

The simple answer is it should since it would most likely play through the stock media player.
I use a modified stock rom and kings kernel so ymmv depending on the way you have your system setup. But if you are on a stock rom and a kernel that supports hdmi out you should be fine. I am work now so can't test megavideo but youtube, vimeo, etc. all play fine for me through hdmi.

As the title says, I am looking for a decent video player, I have tried most, if not all in the "Market", but none I have found, seem to offer what I had as standard on the iphone!
What I would like, is the following:
1. Thumbnail of each video, with it's title.
2. The ability to zoom correctly, with proper aspect ratio support.
3. Remember the exit point of each video.
Zimly, has the best interface, of the ones I have found, but it does not support aspect ratio zoom, neither does it remember the exit point! Otherwise, I think this app is definitely on the right track!
The standard app, is good, but it does not display the title, nor does it remember the exit point, and you have to go into "Photos" to get to it!
If anyone knows of such an app, I would be most greatful.
P.S. Would just like to add, that the screen on this is superb for watching videos, whites are properly white, and blacks are really black! Unlike the iphone, which is a washed out mess with absolutely no contrast! Woe betied anyone who complains to Apple about this, I was actually told by their customer services, that no one else has complained, and that "They are happy with it"!!!! Thanks a lot Mr Jobs!
Another problem with video playback is that you cant jump to middle of movie. You can only jump cca 7min into movie, it you try to jump more it resets movie, starts playback from begining.
Tryed default player and one free with full lenght movie.
Mp4 format, h264

Meridian is the best I've used. Whilst it doesn't tick all your boxes (eg no preview), it does remember where you left off on each individual video. It also allows you to seek to particular point in the video far more effectively than the stock app.
Regards,
Dave
This is the best Video player you can possible have on a android phone. It has all what you seek plus more. http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.hyperaware.videoplayerfull
On the fly bringnes settings, aspect ratios and it does remember the exit point also. It tells you if a file is playable. Only thumbnails are missing.
The only bad thing is no divx support on this phones. So You have to convert every ****.

You can play XviD/DviX movies with yxFlash player. Although it is be no means a perfect player, it is the only one(or at least was for a while) that can play these formats.

They seem to lack codecs or just be horribly made. I tried XYplayer but it's out of sync.
Hi all,
just wondering what people are using to convert .avi/.mkv/etc to mp4/wmv/etc so Zune/Wp7 can use them?
ATM i'm using anyvideoconverter and converting the video's to "Zune HD" but it seems to leave a black border of about 5mm around every edge of the video which is really annoying me, so anyone got any other good ones?
Only confirmed ones please, i've used dozens of Conversion apps that say they'd do the job but in reality they don't, so only post if you've used one for WP7/Zune.
Just convert your Video to MP4 or WMV with WVGA resolution.

Do you know of a good one which will let me just convert to mp4 WVGA Paul?
*EDIT* Just found This Thread which Recommends a GUI for MENCoder called "SUPER". My dealings with MENCoder have been great in the past so i'll give it a go and let others know what it's like.
FWIW the Microsoft way is to use Expression encoder for WMV. It's free, it's nice, and it does a good job encoding, so if you want WMV you should use that one.

My Zune does not even want to read WMV files so I can not upload. I have multiple copies of DVD's/Blu-Ray's with digital copie of movie for portable devices.
I can copy those movies to my PC and watch them, I can watch them on HD2 but zune doesn ot see them so I can not copy them on to phone. They are all in WMV or MP4 format.
MP4 don't work in Zune!

Same problem, I have digital copy's of blu-ray's that came with them, they play using WMV but the Zune Software won't see them and won't play them.
Download 'Expression Encoder'. There's an option to encode specifically for Zune.

Funny as phone by default records in mp4
Mabe the audio stream?
I was just playing around with this last night, and the biggest issue was the audio stream. While it plays h264 streams up to the High Profile level 3.0, it did not like an AC3 stream. I had to demux a video that I had in an mkv container, convert the audio to AAC and remux into an mp4 container. Microsoft has a whole detailed table of stream type compatibility with bit rates, profiles, etc. I can't seem to post links, so search for it at the msdn dot microsoft dot com under this title "Supported Media Codecs for Windows Phone". The list on the WP7 consumer site sucks btw.
The AAC has two compatible types, AAC-LC and HE-AACv1 or v2.
I used MeGui to redo the audio, and yamb to mux it.
Thanks dgetz, here is the link to msdn.

I can confirm that MP4 works on the Focus, using TV shows previously converted for my iPhone 4
I use handbrake on Windows and Mac to convert my videos, using the settings from
http://lifehacker.com/5572037/handbrake-presets-for-your-new-ipad-or-iphone-4
The results have been good, but using the frame(middle) setting shown in that article does bump up the file size a good amount, and as I'm sure a lot of you have heard, storage space isn't so easy to come by on WP7 yet...
Handbrake
I too can vouch for handbrake. All of the videos I have made for my ipod touch with it work just fine on the Focus. Unfortunately, the library I have for the touch is lower resolution, with videos at about 1/2 DVD resolution and at 500kbps encode rate. I end up with about 500 MB for the about 90 min. It is nice because they don't take up a lot of room, but still look decent. When output to a standard definition TV they look fine as well.
When I first put a few of these home videos on the Focus the lower quality was immediately noticeable. To see how I could push the phone, in my reply above I took a full DVD resolution video 720x400 (16x9 non-anamorphic) and corrected the audio stream. That video looks gorgeous on the Focus screen and is great for showing off the phone. It also takes up over 2.5 GB!!!! It is encoded at a rate of about 2100 kbps. As with any video encoding for a mobile device you have to make your own decision about resolution, encoding rate, etc in that constant game of quality versus size.
One thing to note. If there are black bars on your video, then either you have a video that was not encoded in a proportion that matches your screen or it was hard coded with the black bars. The second thing should be rare nowadays (eliminating this wasted information space was the point of an anamorphic DVD). The first is actually very common. IF your media is a studio movie, almost every action film these days comes at 2.35:1 instead of 16:9=1.77:1. Personally I like viewing any of my content in the way it was originally intended to be viewed and don't ever re-proportion anything. At the moment I am not sure if the Focus/WP7 'stretches' videos. I know on my ipod touch this was an option you could toggle by double tapping the video during playback...
Maybe I will play around with a few options tonight and report back.
have a zunehd and remember seeing this thread on abi
anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58183
it converts the audio of any avi/mkv and keeps the video the same, so converting only takes a few mins, and zune software recognizes it..for the zunehd anyways, maybe someone can try w/ wp7
Since I couldn't find right settings for MediaCoder (best video converter ever).
I was using Prism Video Converter for my Omnia7.
About settings for prism:
For .wmv use as video compresor WMV9 and for sound WMAV9, i am not changing the resolution as it is not bothering me at all. All files (mostly avi or mkv) played smooth after conversion.
If anybody have good settings for MediaCoder I will be much appreciated for sharing.
Thx
Okay, so MP4forHD works. The quality still isn't stunning, but it'll do for now (i guess.) However, i've encountered an issue with contrast. All my blacks appear as dark grays, which drives me nuts
Well,as a proud ion user here,I wanna ask some question
Ion have 720p display which if play 720p video,it will fit perfectly on screen...well,I've been downloading 720p anime and it runs perfectly without errors...
What I am confused is : Is ion support 1080p video playback with its hardware?
I mean,even if the screen resolution isn't 1080p and oversize the 1080p video,I still can make it fit on my screen using MX Player...
Just the total question : Does it support 1080p video?
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
the physical pixel dimensions of the Ion's screen is ~1280 x 720 (not sure if its exactly that, but its close)
the phone's hardware, though, is capable of outputting 1080p video...the 1080p stuff is for outputting to a HDTV via HDMI.
if you play a native 1080p video in MX player, what happens depends on your scale settings in the player. If its full screen, you set the scaling to 'fit to screen' or whatever its called...and its actually 720p...if you set to full scale, it'll play it in 1080p, but it will be zoomed in...even at 100%, as all the pixels can't fit on the 720p screen.
I'm pretty sure the stock player doesn't give you the options of full scale...it'll just fit it to the screen regardless...but MX player does let you 'see it' in 1080p, it just won't all fit...i had to mess with this because all my top gear episodes are in 1080p...

I push 1080p episodes of Top Gear via HDMI pretty regularly, and it works great. I can't comment on sound though, as i don't have HDMI running from my TV to my receiver...so its just TV speakers, but it works and everything...
I can't remember what type those files are, i wanna say they are .mkv ...but not positive...i just know its something my PS3 won't decode, so i have to use the phone...nearly any other video file i've used the PS3 plays fine, so i don't have to use the phone...
I will say though...MX player hated these types of files for the first few minutes...it only did it the first time i ever played one...it would get out of sync and stutter a lot...but after about 5 minutes it smoothed out and i never had an issue since...not sure if that is cache related or something, just saying though...don't give up if its a little wonky at first, it'll probably smooth out fine...
I know this device can play 1080p videos as I have tested this across my internal network. But it seems this device does not play videos (in 1080p) using the youtube app.
For example, if I play big buck bunny on my tablet it looks to only play it in 720p. I confirmed this by trying to load it up in the 3rd party app tubemate and it only shows options for 720p. Obviously this is not the best quality available because if you go to the video from your computer there is a 1080p option.
At any rate, has anyone else noticed this and is there a workaround or is youtube somehow blocking my device from the 1080p stream?
Thanks in advance.
I think you need a modified YouTube app that can be found somewhere else on xda, not sure if it will work on tablets though. You can also try Viral floating YouTube app

I have been using JetVD for ages, and it supports 1080p. Usually download clips through that app though, not watch.
Thanks for the replies guys but I think I found my answer. Apparently google/youtube is doing something on their side to make it difficult to get 1080p streams from mobile devices. I checked the thread below from one of the developers and he stated google has changed something to where you can't access the 1080p streams. At least not at the moment
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413078&page=23
@Ettepetje I tried the jetvd app you mentioned using the latest version on their website and it too suffers from the same problem. Only 720p videos are available for download or watching.
@ChrisNee1988 Thanks for mentioning Viral. The link I posted above is from the developer's thread. That is where I found out 1080p streams are somehow being blocked by google.
I guess the next question is why would google do this? I have a device capable of resolutions beyond 1080p but yet I'm limited to a 720p stream.

Yep, I tried 5 different versions of big buck bunny as well multiple 1080p nature videos which I know for certain have 1080p counterparts and still the same result. I tried this on my galaxy note II and note 10.1 2014 and both have the same problem. The weird part is that applications like tubemate will even give me the option of downloading the 720p 3D version but not the 1080p version. Very odd indeed. if you know of any other apps to try let me know.

sorry, I should've mentioned that earlier. I can get 1080p videos to play if I open the stock android browser and request the desktop site. After that, if I select the gear icon at the bottom to choose the resolution it gives the 1080p option.
Unfortunately, that solution is a little tedious. Not to mention it makes navigation a little more difficult when you're trying to watch a lot of videos.

I know that Windows apps don't support 720p. Must be higher. Could be related to this.
I have found opening a app and playing a video before plugging in a second screen works, but the image won't fully fit on the second screen.

That's kinda what I thought, as it's a 720p plasma TV This has to be a bug, which I hope they resolve.

It not a bug. But Microsoft did not allow metro app running at 720p. I think minimum resolution is 1024x768.

you must have a 768 pixel high display to run metro apps. A 720p display is of course 720 pixels high. However, some (but not all) 720p TV's actually have a native res of 1366*768 or 1360*768 and then scale 720p content to fit (and a few go the other way of being able to scale 1366*768 to fit their native 720p), check in the screen resolution settings if you can output to either of these resolutions on your TV from your tablet.

The TV supports 1366x768, and the Surface RT will display on it an an extended screen or duplicate, but when I try and play movies using an app it won't work at all with the TV connected.
