We still can't watch rented Google Movies over HDMI?
Audio comes thru to the TV and youtube, other videos, games, etc work fine.
Anyone able to watch Google Movies over HDMI?
google movies aren't high resolution anyway, right? I've watched in browser and I think it was 480p, not too good on a hd tv..

While the Atrix was in the laptop dock I noticed there were 4 built in demo video clips available. Has anyone saved those videos? Is there a way to play those videos on the phone without docking? These were 720p movies BTW.
Are you guys able to playback hd video? Im not talking about youtube but rather bluray rips or general mkv, etc... HD video.
If so, which player are you using (android or web os)

I used Kalemsoft with WebOS. It played 1080p and blue ray rips wonderfully. Android, and in the other hand, has problems still with video playback.
Press thanks if I helped!!

In webOs I use touchPlayer, in Android, meridian, mxvideo and moboot play just about everything for me.
webos.. kalemsoft works great. plus setsup and streams from another pc on lan or pc from out of lan hotspot..
all features work great and automatic
I use touchplayer for compatibility but it chokes on big HD stuff.
For anything serious I just encode it specifically for my touchpad. Then it plays fine even on the stock player. Including seek/skip.
I do a ton of encoding for youtube so doing a few movies for my touchpad is no biggie and even if I had a program like the fabled Kalimsoft that can play anything I would still encode it for my touchpad because I would rather have a 1.5GB movie instead of a 7GB one on a 32GB device.
I have no reason for a movie larger than the touchpads screen resolution since it does not even have a TV out feature like some other devices so its not like you will ever see it displayed in any resolution other than the screens native.
And yes I know my stuff so I made a tutorial on how to do it: http://youtu.be/6ayiV9e23-4
Has anyone given this a go? I want to rent HD movies from my phone on the Play Store, then watch them on the PS3 on the TV. I have looked around and it seems that you can log into YouTube via your PS3, at least you could back in 2009. You should be able to watch your Play Movie Rentals on YouTube, but can you get them through YouTube on the PS3 AND in HD?
I have hunted for this for a while, don't shoot me if it's already been asked and I've missed it.
Cheers.
So I've been downloading videos with tubemate and video catcher to my prime. Both programs download videos as mp4's. All movies play on the prime and will play through an HDMI to the TV. Samsung PN59D6500. I can stream tubemate videos to the TV using MyNet, but when trying Video Catcher downloads the TV says file not compatible.
Not sure why the tv rejects video catcher mp4's, and not tubemate MP4's.
Anyone experience this or have any recommendations?
After failing to find a way to watch movies, Youtube, Netflix, etc, on a TV without draining my batteries, I finally picked up a Chromecast dongle. I installed the Chromecast app along with the Avia Media Player app but none of my XVID movies would play. After a few attempts at ripping a DVD into different formats, MKV video with AAC audio finally worked perfectly. I'm now in the process of re-ripping all my DVD's into MKV videos. Youtube and Netflix are working great. Chromecast's screen mirroring is still a WIP but can be enabled with the MirrorEnabler app from these forums. The screen freezes for a moment every 40 or 50 seconds, so iscreen mirroring isn't suitable for gaming yet. After installing the Cast Store app, I was surprised to see so many apps designed for Chromecast.

I am running the mirror enabler on my 8.4 as well but have not notice any freezing problem. It isn't suitable for gaming but flawless for watching video.

I don't know what was causing the problem, but the freezing has stopped. Even when it was happening it was very brief (less than a second).
Do you have a black boarder around your picture when mirroring? I don't get it when casting a video but it's there when mirroring.

Yes, that because the resolution of my tablet is not 16:9.
If I use my phone (z2), which is 1080p, there is no black border.
