Has anyone tried or even had any success recording the output from the HTC MHL adaptor?
I've been trying to record using the HDMI input on a Blackmagic Intensity (video input device) and at 720p60 all I get is a red cross when I should see screen.
I get nothing when I set the device to 1080i/p 24/35/50/60 etc.
Plugging the HDMI cable into a monitor/tv gives me picture with no problems.
Would love to hear any alt ways of recording capturing the screen, menu animations etc.
i sometimes get a red cross even on the tv, try another cable etc have a play around with different combination orders of plugging stuff in etc
maybe this might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNoj8ASYaqo
haven't tried this though..
looks good.. will give MrTechCheese's method a shot
Wow.. didn't think it could be this hard!
The [email protected] java app was lovely, and worked very nicely with my SGSII, but wouldn't capture more than a frame every 20-30 seconds on the HTC OneX ... higher-res screen is to blame methinks.
So.. to try and record the screen I installed Screencast Video Recorder and that won't work, because it isn't compatible with Tegra3 devices (yet)
The HDMI input I have for FinalCutPro is pretty much refusing to show a picture ... no matter what combo of leads/settings I use. I think there is some HDCP encryption built into the HDMI out of the phone.
Can anyone else think of anything I haven't tried?!
Have you thought of researching ways of working around the hdcp(assuming it is hdcp) from the pc end? This is only a guess, but maybe you can spoof it being a normal tv ?

With Nexus 10 developers released a ROM that disabled HDCP, haven't seen anyone attempt to do that with the One X which is a shame, spent £140 on recording hardware before i realised it had HDCP

Just got my mhl in the mail, gotta say this things pretty neat. Got a couple vizio's one 1080p which looks amazing and one 720p native and looks pretty good there too but, the statusbar gets cut off a little on top when on the home screen. Also picked up a motorola bluetooth keyboard so if i want i can use it as an option to type an email or pause movies from the couch. Great but...
Is there a way to turn off the phone's display while mhl is plugged in? I dont really need it on. When i was plugged into the 720p native the tv display was fine but the phone display was distorted. Guessing its from the fullscreen rotation in mxplayer.
And..can i output audio via headphone jack instead of hdmi? Volume seems a little weak or tv speakers not that good i never use em.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips

Hello! My SGS3 friends, I have bought a MHL adapter, bluetooth keyboard, and a bluetooth mouse. So far, the whole setup has been lovely, BUT...
1) I want some way to use the power button from my keyboard.
2) The screen is like, 5% zoomed in, it's the TV's fault, but I would love some way to fix it, probably phone based as none of the TV settings can fix it
Thanks much for any help!
Also, is there any way to like, turn the screen off while the phone is connected?
You can't turn the screen off because it's just projecting the screen via hdmi to your tv...
I also have that the edges are cut off the screen, this has nothing to do with the mhl adapter or your S3.
You need to adjust that with the tv settings, but both LCD screens here can't fix it, with 16:9 or other auto adjust settings.
Pixel to pixel is the problem I read somewhere, but some tv's just won't project it right.
Look on Youtube and you will see more people have the problem when they play games and so.
It's annoying but you can't use an other setting on the phone, and it's not the MHL adapters fault.

Hi,
I was given a MediaLink HD. I tried to set it up, I'd configured it propery (and it was detected on the phone) but on the TV screen I wasn't able to see anything (yet HDMI control feature on my TV detected it as a "player"). I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40D3550. I've checked the specs, and it appears to support only 24fps on HDMI.
According to the specs on HTC's official accessory store, it outputs 1080p 30fps. Is this what causes that I can't see anything? Is there any kind of adapter to convert the signal to 24fps?
Thanks!

Hey, did you ever get this working? I'm having the same issue. Thanks.
Can someone make kernel or tell me how to do this, maybe thru some kind of converter or something like that?
1080p/24Hz is chopy for games so maybe this can be done by software or hardware fix??
There is similar kernel but for One S so I belive this can be done for note 2.
Pls help this is realy big issue for mhl/tv output and i didnt find any solution on web how to make this happen on note 2.
I'm to having same issue.
Choppy with the dock. My GNex works so smoothly compared and it's half the phone although it is rooted.
I'd be very excited to known if a custom kernel can fix this. I've posted something similar already in this thread.
Cheers guys.

I hope for the fix to, it a shame that this isnt implemented like and option in stock software. One again please devs or anybody help us with this problem :crying:
Going to try to fix this thru vga pc because in my tv manual says I can select resolution myself thru this input (RGB PC only).
Maybe you too can do something with this.
Well i cant post links so this is what I will test with my Note2:
RED Galaxy S3 SIII i9300 i9308 MHL Micro USB 11pin to HDTV HDMI
HDMI Female to Female F/F Coupler Extender Adapter Connector
Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft
When tested will report here... still hoping for kernel modification of some kind...
I have a N7100 and a smart dock this has been my experience:
HDMI -> DVI adapter plugged into a Dell U2312HM via DVI (HDCP compliant):
- Stuck at 720x480 resolution no matter what.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
HDMI cable to my 26" Westinghouse 1080P TV (HDCP compliant but constantly has handshaking issues):
- Appears to display at 1080p or at least scaled up 720p though I set my TV in 1:1 and there are no black bars so I suspect 1080p.
- When mouse and external display is connected there is a drop in frame rate. However, if the mouse OR the external display are connected seperately the FPS remains high.
It seems that there is a bug in the code that has to do with when the phone enters that "desktop mode." There also seems to be a bug when using an adapter for some reason as well. The N7100 seems to act completely differently than my PS3. My PS3 connects wonderfully using the same adapter and the same Dell monitor, no handshaking issues. Though my PS3 to get sound out of the TV's speakers I have to mute and then unmute the TV to get sound anytime the HDMI link is closed and then reopened (starting a game for example). While it seems the N7100 behaves oppositely.
Update on my Gold HDTV HDMI to VGA HD15 3 RCA Adapter Cable 5ft combination is not working the device dont check connection thru hdmi rgb input (no signal or notification of connection). So I belive only hdmi input/output works with note 2. Once again pls help us regarding this option to lock device on 720p output thru hdmi.
man i really need this force 720p playback option as well...
Hey everybody,
I don't have my Fire TV (the launch in Germany is still 2.5 weeks away) but I do have a question.. at least temporarily I'd like to connect it to an older monitor of mine which only has DVI input (I don't own an actual TV at the moment.. well, a tube tv set for my SNES ). I do have an HDMI->DVI cable but I just realized that I won't get any sound this way.. and since the speaker I want to use don't have optical input I have to find another way to connect those. One option would be a digital-analog converter (like this one, for example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Digi...-Audio-Converter-Adapter-DHTV/2032388430.html) but someone mentioned that it's possible that the Fire TV works with regular USB sound cards which would be cheaper and not require yet another power plug and a bunch of cables.
I realize it's not an optimal setup at all, bus as I said, it's temporary. Has anyone tried this or maybe have a cheap usb sound card lying around they'd be willing to test for me? Tried the search function but didn't get any results.
kind regards

I wouldn't even bother using an external DAC connected to the optical out if you re planning
to use an HDMI to DVI adapter. I, and a few others, have discovered out that the FireTV does
not support HDMI to DVI because of HDCP. Amazon video content will not display on the monitor
at all, and video from XBMC results in many dropped frames and video instability. You will also
not get any sound out of the optical. The only way to get around this is to find an HDMI splitter
or switch which will emulate HDCP, and that will cost.
Saying that, I would assume that the same would happen with USB audio (if supported), although
I have not tried it myself.
Thank you for the quick reply, it was just in time to cancel the order I placed for a cheap toslink-rca adapter
Will I at least be able to set up and tinker with the Fire TV? If I can't use it properly at my own place until I get an actual TV I thought I might give it to my mum for the time being, but I wanted to set it up first cause she probably won't be able to do that

Yes... it still makes a nice box to tinker with. That's what I did before
getting a HDMI switch to bypass the audio issue with DVI. You just
won't get any audio and video playback will be unstable to non-existent,
depending on the source. However, all the FTV menus will still display
fine, and so will games and other apps.
The only other thing to note is that since video will not display properly,
you will not see the opening video when you first activate your FTV:
you will get a blank screen. This made me think that I had issues with
the device and that it had crashed, but you really have to just wait through
it. However, I don't know what repercussions this may have on activating
your device if you are trying to avoid the automatic updates to non-rootable
firmware versions during initial setup.
I'd assume it's going to ship with new recent firmware, but thanks for the heads up, I'll set it up at work then, there I've got access to a display with HDMI input
edit:
Or I'll just block the firmware update thingie at home, following these instructions.
Any news on USB audio?
Did someone try XBMC and USB audio out? I have a pure Digi Amp and like to have volume control. I assume optical out is without volume control...
Cheers,
Andy
