I've done a lot of searches and found a lot of people have the same problem, but I haven't been able to find a fix. I just got the MHL adapter, YouTube works great, the phone in landscape works great, but when I open Netflix and try to watch a movie, the sides of the screen get cut off like I'm trying to watch a normal standard definition channel or something. Is there any work around to make it show in widescreen on the tv? I mean, it shows in widescreen on the phone, why doesn't it on the tv?

It does it on both the stock4.0.4 and cm9. Its not the rotation that's the problem, it rotates fine, Netflix is just isn't showing up as widescreen on the TV.

Yeah, I'm finding a lot of people with mhl not working, I'm not finding any solutions on Netflix not showing up as widescreen. If I'm missing something and I'm completely retarded, I'm sorry, but if you have a link to the solution, that would be awesome.

Everything else is working fine. YouTube comes in widescreen , the phone in landscape comes in widescreen. When you're waiting for the movie to play, the big red screen that says netflix is widescreen . It's just the movie that ends up not widescreen. Like I said, I've seen lots of people with the same problem, I just haven't been able to find a solution.

Hi, I have been looking for a possible solution for this issue as well. Actually, prior to ICS, I was getting full wide screen with mhl-hdmi out (to TV) with netflix. I have always thought the netflix upgrade messed up the output, but now I'm starting to think it may be related to the upgraded ROM.
Actually, I believe the issue is that we are not getting a mirror of the screen because subtitles also don't show up on the TV.
I'm now on JB, the issue persists.
I have the sane problem running Netflix on galaxy smartdock with note 2, everything runs fullscreen except Netflix its super annoying just got newest update, no change, frustrating

Well... I was looking for this issue before I got the mhl because One description of mhl-adaptor says there was a license Problem with netflix... will give Update when it was delivered.

So bascially an Android version of fraps.
Would be interesting to see one. But wouldn't it slow the phone to a crawl? Fraps does that even on a decent PC.
Maybe, but it would be good for educational purposes, like tutorials n stuff.

I was wondering if anyone knew a fix for this. When I go into apps like ign and there is a video to watch I can't get the video to play and go into media format. Usually all I can get is the sound from the video. Is there any app or Rom I can download to fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Are you using stock player? I use MX player and it works great
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I just downloaded the pro version of mx player and I still am having that issue. For example if you download the free ign app in the play store then click reviews in the app, then let's say you click black Ops 2 in the review section, and then proceed to try and watch the video at the top it will not play except for maybe audio.

It sounds like codec problem. I know MX has different codec downloads in the play store. I just never had this issue before
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Tried every codec and still not working. Is anyone able to download the ign app to see if it's just me or the app itself? If anyone downloads it go into reviews>black ops 2>click the video at the top of the review and see if you can get it to work

Why struggle with getting the app to work when you get the same experience when you goto ign.com? Plus I got the video to play just fine from the browser... good luck!
edit: the video did not play from the app for me either
The app is more convenient plus I've had this problem in other apps with videos attached

You can get some from the Play Store, Amazon, Netflix and Hulu. Also if you have ROKU, I believe there is an app for that too. Yes those are all paid, but it is a place to start. Also, most networks (at least in the US) have either an app or way to view shows on/from them.
I do hope that you are not asking about torrent sites and how to use them. If you are, then Google is your friend and please do not post such on XDA.

There was a thread about this in the general section, but I can't find it now and its probably better suited here.
So has anyone been able to get it to play videos?
I sideloaded the app and it loads up fine, but when you click a movie it closes.
