Hi guys,
I just bought my hdtv adapter in order to connect my tab to my TV trough HDMI and happily see netflix everynight..... The thing is that for any reason when I plug the cable de image in the TV is a clone of the image in the tablet, but the uggliest point is that when I put a movie in netflix not only the image in the TV is not escalated ( I see the movie in part of the TV screen) but subtitles are not in the TV screen but they are in the tablet.
Any idea how can I can get it fixed. Is there any hdmi output control software or something like that?.
I'm trying yo get my TV dispay as an extension of the galaxy note display.
Thanks!.
I just found out, to my disappointment, the same behaviour with netflix and the allcast dongle.

do you think it's a netflix app issue or the hdmi output resolution that it's unable to fit the whole tv screen?. I hope there is a software to fix it.
Unfortunately, I do not have a clue. I will probably try and buy an android stick to bypass the problem

I would have expected stock was better than this. Seems like a lot of devices have issues with UI overlays and HDMI output. Sounds like even Samsung's stock hwcomposer is a steaming pile of ****. Or this is one of the consequences of Netflix's weirdo JPlayer.
Oh wait, never mind, stock is 4.1, JPlayer isn't used... Probably just Samsung brokenness.
For example, my Xperia T has the following issues when outputting Netflix over MHL:
UI overlays do not appear
Anamorphic video is not scaled properly. (For example, Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix is anamorphic 640x480 video - e.g. it is stretched to display as widescreen and the pixels do not have a square aspect ratio, but when output over MHL it is displayed as if the pixels were square.)

Yeah, that what I've just noticed. The UI overlay does not properly works... I can't see subtitles in my tv screen.
Isn't there any player or another kind of soft to play netflix movies thorugh? or even better, a fix to it...
BTW... i bought the hdmi adapter for my galaxy s3 and now the image in the mobile escales perfectly to 1080p however the overlay issue is still there..., I'M NOT ALE TO SEE THE #"!#$&/( SUBTITLES... :crying::crying:
I hope there's a fix.

Sadly, this seems to be inherent to the HDMI mirror process, as I get the same on my Xoom and all my Moto phones: clear audio and video, but no overlays (controls, subtitles, etc.)
same with Play Movies
I have the same problem with my note 2, note 10.1, over hdmi adapter or allsharecast dongle both with netflix and play movies. Subtitles only on the tablet.
I have contact samsung and google about yhis annoying issue and they both try to blame each other instead of giving me a solution.
What I don't understand is how such a basic thing is not possible
When you use BS player and software encoder the subs is showing in the TV and the phone-tablet. I remember it was the same with the first Nvidia gforce graphick cards with comp-scart output on windows XP. I think it is a hardware problem. I think we need a new genaration og GPU hardware. Question is, what about Nvidia Tegra 4 chipset phones or Shield device???
Have someone got an android phone (could be LG X2) with a real HDMI output purhaps it is a MHL-HDMI problem
It's a hardware issue, yes- the movie is rendered via the hardware-accelerated video channel that also outputs thru the HDMI (and/or Miracast) streams. However, since subtitles (and other such overlays) are decoded and rendered outside the main video stream (that's done on a seperate video channel) that's normally overlaid over the display stream.
This issue isn't limited to just Exynos chips, either- I know for sure the Tegra2 and one of the QCT Snapdragons is like this, too; I suspect the issue actually comes from Hollywood, as DRM protection implies you can't manipulate the buffer that's displaying the external streams (yes, even for your own (non-DRMed) content, sadly), but don't quote me on this.
In order for a player to give you subtitles that display on external devices they'd have to render everything in software, and I don't think every stream will play smoothly that way. I do remember seeing a video player that does do subtitles on the All-Share Cast stream; I think it was the Archos one.
I think what you most have, is just a setting problem.
I have galaxy s3 and samsung tv connected through hdmi adapter.
By default this behaves exactly as my windows media pc, app. 10 pixels are cut on all sides. When you change your tv settings not to overscan, the image is perfect. In samsung tvs (tested 50" plasma and 22" lcd) you do this in by setting the size of the display, from 16:9 to customized. I have Finnish ui, so i do not know the exact terms.
In this way most of the programs work ok, including e.g. Xbmc.
But this does not fix netflix, it is seen on tv as 4:3 without any subtitles. So i would blame netflix first.

I have purchased the Note 3 and the subtitles are displayed properly on my TV now. I don't know if it is a fix from either Android 4.3 or from Samsung.

Not sure if my issue is Kodi related or Fire TV related, but 3D MKVs (1080p SBS) do not work well on my Samsung TV in 3D mode through Kodi. They do display in 3D once I change the TV into that mode, but there's ghosting. Playing the MKV using the TV's built in Media Player has always worked fine. I suspect Kodi isn't converting the SBS video completely correct. OTOH, I had to calibrate the Fire TV due to my TV's overscan, so perhaps that has something to do with it? I'm not sure. Does anyone have any tips for getting 3D video to work?
You´re TV is using additional filters etc. when the playback is run internally but the TV does not use these for external input via HDMI. It´s most likely you would see this also with other external players.
Concerning overscan: when you don´t need it (for e.g. you´re not using any analogue video inputs), set it to 0 in you´re TV or deactivate overscan. It´s the better solution than to calibrate all attached devices for overscan which isn´t needed for digital HDMI input normally.

That's interesting because I have two different TVs connected through HDMI that both required the image to be reduced 2-3% with the Fire TV. That ought to be digital. Am I missing something?
EDIT: Okay, here's what I was missing. Both TV sets were NOT set up to the optimal screen settings. The Samsung was set to 16:9, which you'd think would be the right setting, but it's not. The "User setting" with the option to move the picture horizontally and vertically is the "correct" one to use. On the other TV that I was using overscan on had a similarly poorly worded option called "Fullscreen 100%" or something like that that gave the actual resolution instead of the default "Normal" setting. Unbelievable!
The happy ending to this story is that 3D movies work perfectly. I hear there is a plugin for Kodi to automatically switch the TV into the correct 3D mode assuming the MKV file has the 3D encoding option specified. (I went through and fixed all the MKV metadata to include it.) I'll try to find it and test it out.
Those overscans mechanism do imply scalers which may also corrupt the proper displaying of 3D content. I wonder why still today TVs are preprogrammed with overscan for digital inputs.
But you´re 16:9 issue isn´t clear for me. A 16:9 TV should display everything at 100% or is it a non 16:9 TV, for e.g. with 21:9 aspect ratio? In that case the TV probably tried to stretch the 16:9 content instead of letterboxing which may also lead to a bad 3D behaviour.

The default option on my Samsung 55" TV is "16:9". There's also "Wide" (4:3 stretched to fill the screen) and "Zoom" (4:3 zoomed so the top and bottom are cropped). It's not until you go to the "User" option that you realize that the default "16:9" option (the first setting) is actually zooming the image 2-3%! I can only suspect that Samsung assumed people would be watching a mix of analog and digital sources. You'd assume the cable company's box would take care of any issue with displaying analog signals to a digital TV, but I guess not. The moral of the story here is to not assume the TV isn't implementing an overscan on ALL signals by default.
EDIT: Apparently, my TVs are the only ones like this: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/hd-101-overscan-and-why-all-tvs-do-it/
Hi.
Anyone managed to pause and/or record live TV on a TCL? I installed the channels app and it found all the channels from my TV but no sound or schedule so I can't pick anything.
I have a 32ES560
Ta
not managed it. I wish it was easy just to just record your screen at any moment. And unfortunately there isnt a major dev scene for TCL custom roms to toally unlock our beast of a tv. I have a older TCL C2. works a treat.
Another channel application
Hello!
You have to try another channel application and it may be better.I have 40" Smart Android LED Tcl 40ES560 and I am pretty satisfied.Here you can find some application:

Hi !
I tried a lot of things to repair my TV.
I took it apart, cleaned the receiver properly. It works normally when the TV is on but once off or in standby mode, the receiver receives 1 time out of 100 IR. The LED is not blinking, so I suspect a power issue. What do you think ? I've scoured the forums with no real help...
It's a Philips 55PUS6501/12
Thank you in advance for your answers
I thought I would go through HMDI - CEC but Philips Easy Link does not offer me any option to start my tv with a ChromeCast

Oups, sorry..
Hello my Friend has a Issue with this TV.
It works but often the Picture goes black then you need to turn it on and off a couple of times to get it working again.
Any Idea what that issue is causing?
