Hey,
i just got my MHL cable today and tested some of my 720p vids (~5Mbit highprofile) and i think that on my tv it doenst play as smooth as on the s2 itself.
Is it possible that the hdmi output is somehow slow or lagging ? Has someone
tested mhl yet?
regards
I have the same problem with every video file, no mater the video quality. What cable do you have? Samsung genuine?
firstly which firmware you have. secondary did you test other non-stock players?
for me is working with geniue and non-geniue (have two MHL cables) cables with no video lag...
in which format is movie?

I have genuine samsung one and it works perfectly.
I am watching 1080p video files with x264 codec and also experience lag, not a huge lag but the kind of lag that once you know its there makes you notice it (it skips a frame every now and then)
I have tried several players, but it seems the HDMI output completely ignores the display that the 3rd party players provide (mxvideo, dice video), and instead gives you the same playback video that you get from playing the video from within the gallery.
I.e. the display on the phone is not the same as on the TV - subtitles are not displayed, image size is always with borders, color settings are not respected.
I have an original Samsung MHL adapter, but not one specifically designed for the galaxy s2 (I just went to a local store and bought one).
Has had someone success with 1080p Movies (I'm referring to ~6-10gb full 1080p rips, split in 4gb chunks)? - They play back without a hickup on the phone, just not on the tv.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm on stock 2.3.4 gingerbread firmware

Is anyone else having part of their android screen cut off (just the two side edges) when they are plugged into the hdmi port on TVs? Any idea how or if you can fix that?
Depends on the resolution of your TV and the picture mode/scaling you have set.

I want to be able to turn my screen off while watching a movie, is that possible? I have watched 2 movies so far and the screen stays on the whole time while I watch the movies, I feel that this drains the battery more this way. Is there a way to turn off the screen while watching a movie?
I have not yet found a way to do so
What player did you use? I watched a 720p mkv using BSPlayer Lite and I think at some point the screen timed out and the video kept going on the TV.

A lot of TVs have "overscan" enabled by default, which cuts off the outer edge of the screen and stretches the image. It's a carryover from the SDTV days, since CRT TVs wouldn't display all the way to the edge and TV shows and video games were designed with this in mind. That might be the issue. There's usually a setting in the TV's menu to disable overscan.
When using Gallery to play video to HDMI, my screen actually does go off for 1080p videos (no mirror function due to the high res).
I still can't get more than left channel audio when playing an H.264 stereo AAC MPEG4 video out to my 2 HD TVs. My several other tablets and phones don't have this issue. I've tried with 2 HDMI 1.4 cables that work for the other devices.
If I play a video with 5.1 channel audio and run it through my AV receiver, the receiver detects the 5.1 input, but I get only left front channel out and sub. I'm still not sure if this is a defective Prime or a buggy implementation of 5.1 on the tablet.
Is anyone getting both left and right channel audio when plugging the Prime into an HD TV?
i'm actually not being able to see anything on my tv, am i doing or missing something wrong?
I've got both side speakers working on my TV. I have a samsung sound bar hooked up to my tv and it sounded awesome last night while watching my movie.
Cuyabro, the only thing I did was plugged the HDMI cable to my TV and TP and it worked. I didn't do anything special.
Tried rebooting the tablet and unplugging-replugging the cable, cuyabro?
I wish the prime would show embedded subtitles on the TV when playing via HDMI. Currently the A/V goes out HDMI but the subtitles still display on the tablet. I emailed the developer of the Dice video player and he said this is device dependent and would need to be fixed by the device manufacturer.
Hey Asus,
Fix the subtitle overlay issue so embedded subtitles are displayed via HDMI.
I wish this first day i bought ATP. I spent 30$ on Hdmi cable that now is useless to me. Only way is software decoding in player's settings, but when playing mkv more than 5gb all is very very bad. The best player than can show subs via Hdmi in software decoding mode is MXPlayer. I manage to play 720p mkv with subtitles and all was smooth.
Someone here said that we want much from a tablet, and if you wish a home HD player buy one like popcorn but that is another 300 bucks

Hi!
Same here... I got my HDMI cable yesterday, and had to realize, that it's useless for me. I watch everything with subtitles, and with H/W Decoding it's simply a no-go.
Unfortunately, this is not an ASUS problem, but it has to do with the HDMI Mirroring implementation of ICS (some people are reporting, that there was no such problem with HoneyComb?).
I really do hope, that Google fixes this issue very soon (hopefully in JellyBean).
I tried out many-many videos, and the conclusion is, that most files play smooth with a max. resolution of 720p in software rendering mode, but I've had some .mkv files (SD, not HD!) with embedded subtitles which simply stopped after about 30-40min. (MX Player) and I had to restart the movie (fortunately I could seek, so I didn't have to watch it from the beginning).
My conclusion is, that 1080p simply won't work, it's just too much for software decoding to play & downsample it to 720p for the output.
PLEASE GOOGLE FIX THIS!

i have samsung mhl cable i think it is orginal it looks original when i connect phone to fullhd lcd tv phones screen appears to the tv but a little cutted from up and down and works normal you can see pictures menus or play angry birds but when i want to play some videos (i recorded or not) in stock player movies are on the phones screen but not shown on the tv also phone shows "hdmi cable connected"
but no video on tv btw sound coming from tv is very good.
i installed mxplayer and played movies in the software decoding (fast or normal)
video played on the tv . not good as hardware decoding but this is something at least. is this normal i googled and searched but too few people lived this problem and i didnt find any solution. why my stock player dont work on hdmi out ???
software decoding is terrible at hd or full hd movies so it is meaningless.
any help is appreciated and sorry for my english i hope i could tell my problem.
thanx.
I recently bought the HDTV Adapter for my S3 and so far it served its purpose except for one thing, video playback (.MKV to be exact) soft subs. They do not show on my big screen for some reason as if it was splitting my phone and giving it a second monitor but not showing exactly what's on my phone's screen. Any way to make it so my soft subs display on my big screen through the HDTV Adapter?
I don't know which program you're using, but I can tell you from my experience with MX Player that if you use the software decoder, the subtitles will appear on your external screen.
If you're using BS Player, go to Preferences -> Decoding mode and choose Hardware Decoding Mode (system). For me, using this or the software decoder worked perfectly.
It's just a matter of fiddling with the settings.
Hope I could help.
Cheers

I tried and actually worked with MX Player but terrible video instability and lag issues followed with both 1080p and 720p videos, will have to keep looking.
This is a known bug. please vote to get it fixed.
I got the same issue across all players (bsplayer, mobo,mx, vlc, etc. you name it) on an Asus TF700T/ICS.
As someone who prefers to watch their HD-high-bitrate-movies in Originalton, meaning original soundtrack and not their own language,
on an external screen (beamer,TV) hardware-decoding and subtitles are often mandatory.

I bought the (Slimport) nano.console (Analogix) (http://www.analogix.com/en/products/nanoconsole) on Indiegogo a couple of weeks ago so I could play recorded videos directly from the LG V10 onto my Samsung SUHD 4K (JS7000) TV. I was disappointed to see that the video playback was choppy. All ok on the device screen but choppy on the TV. Tried at 1080 p and UHD resolutions at 30 fps. I also tried using Miracast to stream wirelessly over wifi to my Chromecast. It worked. Looked like a bit lower resolution but also choppy. So, I'm thinking this issue is likely NOT with the Slimport. I'm thinking that it's something with the phone.
Anyone have any suggestions to make the video output smoother? I tried alternate video players, such as MX player and VLC player. Same thing. Thanks!
UPDATE 3/15: Heard back from Analogix. They indicate that this problem must be with the phone. They suggested making sure to close out any programs that might be occupying the processor. I did that and things look a little bit smoother. I need to play with this more when I get a minute.
