Hello. I am having trouble getting netflix subtitles shown on my TV through HDMI. I get the image and sound perfectly, but the subtitles are displayed on the blackened TP display!
Is there a way to display them on the TV screen? This was a feature I was looking forward to.
Thanks for your help..
I am having the same problem too. Anyone know how to fix it?
Apparently HDMI specifications do not include handling of subtitles or closed caption..
Is this on HC or ICS? I'm still on HC and will try it at home if I have the same issue.

This is on ICS.. Thanks!
Same problem, I have tested this in my prime with ICS and in a acer iconia a500 with Honeycomb, same problem in both... there should be a fix but I think that the app needs to be updated
The problem as I've seen it is that the hardware acceleration on the Prime doesn't handle subtitles and since netflix is using hardware acceleration, you get this problem. The solution with local videos is to switch the player over to software decoding, but such a thing doesn't exist in Netflix and I'm not sure if a workaround is even possible.
+1 for this problem. Although it happens to me on my TF101 with Tegra 2. The subtitles worked on Honeycomb perfectly, but since installing the Ice Cream Sandwich OTA yesterday I do not get to display the subtitles on the TV via HDMI out. Video plays nice, but the subtitles keep being displayed on the tablet only.
The difference I noticed is that under Honeycomb the video was mirrored, i.e. being displayed at the same time on tablet and on the TV. With Ice Cream it only displays the video on the TV...
Netflix subtitles over HDMI
I have an Asus transformer with the same problem, when it was HC netflix works fine showing the movie and subtitle at the tablet and tv at same time. After upgrade to ICS the movie is not showing on tablet and the subtitle does not appear on tv.
hello same problem fr me with dice player
is there any fix for this problem ?

Try disabling hardware overlays in the Developer Options (Android). It should fix the problem.

I tried. It worked once and then whenever I turn it off, then there's no image but just sound and subtitles when playing Netflix, on both the phone and the projector. Any solutions please?

So now we have an XBMC .apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772433
Has anyone else tried it? It works well for me. It works well with my TV via HDMI
edit
I'm running andowook with _motley's latest kernel.
I get very low volume, even if I go into sound and bump it up.
35 minutes into the movie, the app stopped for no reason.
docking and undocking seem to close the app
I haven't got green flickers yet, but I get the green flickers in openelec all the time, so thats not android specific.
For me it the audio on it is crap and sometimes the whole app flickers rapidly.
Maybe I need to reboot...

I have tried it, mainly streaming video from my Serviio server and it works like a charm. What an amazing app. And it can only get better,
Definitely reboot. About the 3rd time I fired it up after installing some add ons it began running like a charm. The first time you use it there may be a very long start and turn off period. That's ok.
The XBMC interface is running smoothly on my TP.
When i try to stream (WiFI) a X264 movie with DTS over SMB it stutters like mad.
I hope this is because of network speed. I'll try to play the same movie over USB, i hope this works better.
But overall, it's its nice to see XBMC on my Prime

Oh yeah, isn't it software decoding only? For now anyway

As far as I can tell, software only.
Installed the icefilms repo and watched full episode of Eureka. it took a restart of xbmc b4 it worked though. I am ging to try t compile this for my google tv. If it compiles i'm throwing my appletv through a window.

It is software only. I have always used it as a content streamer though, not much as a local player.
I wonder if this can and will support HDMI CEC.
I gave it ago on my Prime running the stock rom, i was quite impressed with how well it worked.
I could map my SMB network shares on my Windows Home Server perfectly and XBMC would stream anything SD fine, 720p MKV played some what ok with random frame drops / jerkiness every couple of seconds, 1080p video was very jerky and not really any watchable.
Plugins such as the BBC iPlayer worked (sometimes buggy), YouTube and Ted Talks also worked very well.
Video overview of my experience here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmttML0LNm4
Very impressed so far, a big well done and thanks to the XBMC team :good:

It does the flicker part on my TFP only if I go to the "Settings" option. Other thatn that it works.
I tested MP4, AVI and MKV formats yersterday. It lags with the MKV playback.
I am also getting alot of background flicker in xbmc. Then sometimes the screen goes black. Going to try a reboot to see if it goes away.

with stock ROM 720p mkv is not watchable on my prime. Maybe final apk from xbmc.org will solve this

I may be wrong but I believe that these versions of XBMC don't support hardware acceleration just yet. I haven't been on top of the development of this app but that tidbit was enough for me to wait for the final release.
github is here: https://github.com/xbmc/android/commits/android-rebase-8/
There are two builds AFAIK
zefie's: http://files.persona.cc/zefie/files/cell/androidapk/xbmc-unofficial/?C=M&O=D&S=&P=
and the one on miniland: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136
and no hardware acceleration.

I had the same issue... It's because somehow it doesn't work when your volume isn't at anything but 100%. If it's set to the loudest it can be, the sound works fine.
It's not dead yet. Plenty of ROM development going on in the dev section.

XBMC 12 Frodo
Has anyone tried XBMC 12 Frodo RC3 on ATP? I have a TF201. I'm a long time user of XMBC since the original Xbox, and the app looks great. I'm very happy to see this. But unfortunately, with this version, the videos lag quite a bit and I get absolutely no audio. I've tried changing the audio out options and playing music/video with no luck. I did not yet try pushing the video/music out through HDMI yet, but not really much point yet.
Anyone else trying have experience with this?
I received my official Allshare cast dongle today and although it is working I can't seem to get videos that I play to appear on BOTH screens at the same time. On various youtube reviews/demos, I have seen people playing videos with it appearing on the TV and the GS3 screen simulaneously. When I play a video it only appears on the TV and on the GS3 screen I get either a black background (e.g. youtube player) or a black background with the allshare icon logo on it and the player controls (standard video player).
What do I need to do to get the video to appear on both screens at the same time?
Cheers,
Richard.
The only way is to install another video player because if you saw a video showing doing both then they been misleading you.
Im sure its possible. The YouTube videos i have seen are not just ones recorded at the official Galaxy S3 launch demo booths but also from a fair number of unofficial user demos using their home TV's. I doubt they are all deliberately faked.
Also the videos all use the standard built in Galaxy S3 video player too.

I've got an Allshare Cast myself and it has no settings so Samsung must have fiddled it up to have both screens working because obviously it looks better in a booth with both displays running.
And I think Samsung turn the display off when watching videos because obviously you not gonna be watching both and it saves a load of power, so guess you just have to wait for someone to create a mod to get that done.
The Allshare cast does NOT mirror when playing video.
What worries me is when using the video player, it permanently leaves the Allshare logo on the screen. It is very very dim, but surely that could still result in screen burn after many hours of video watching this way!

There is some lag, yes. It doesn't make games unplayable, but it could put you at a disadvantage for multiplayer. Some games which are currently free on the Samsung app store are free and have optimisations for this system. Modern Combat 3 maintains resolution but suffers framerate drops sometimes in dual screen mode. Asphalt 7 maintains framerate but lowers resolution when the screen gets busy. The TV displays the main game, and the phone has a map of the course which is quite cool.
There is a bit of luck here, as it depends on the quality of WiFi signal in your home and interference can affect how well this system works. Certainly it has its uses though and I suspect there will be firmware improvements for it.

bugger, I wish they'd hurry up and release to TV version, I have a top of the range samsung tv which will work as the cast dongle when they get around to enabling it, i'm hoping latency will be slightly less too as its a straight hop to the TV bypassing the HDMI connections.

Hi, I have had my dongle for a few weeks now. Few problems and very upset with lack of support from samsung. I read you're message while trying to solve my issues. I have just used vlc player from the market and it plays video on screen and the tv together. Hope it helps. Wonder if you know how to make the image fit the my tv screen, it cuts edges of at the moment. Thanks and good luck

Thanks. Yes I since discovered that VLC let you do the mirrored playback after looking very closely at some youtube videos that demonstrated this mode.
Out of interest what other problems are you having? I haven't had time to test mine all that much yet. One thing that annoys me is that there is no on/off button so I have to unplug it to turn it off (I have it hooked up to my HDMI auto switch).
I can't get it to fit tv properly, sometimes requires two or three attempts to connect. Streaming Iplayer has audio sync problems, there is no alternative for audio out to a sound system and today it disconnected and refused to connect for ages. Had to unplug and reset with button at least 3 times. When is first got it my phone had no option for allshare and Samsung don't have any support on it. No one could tell me that I had to update through Kies on my desktop to get this option. All in all I do like it and use it loads, I'm just hoping the new official jb firmware will increase stability. Funny enough the guy I bought it of on ebay here in Turkey emailed me asking for confirmation it works as he has had loads of negative feedback from selling them. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt Samsung to create some support pages. But as usual xda dev prevails.

I have noticed that if you change channel on the phone it automatically disconnects the allshare connection. I never turn it off for this reason. But not very eco friendly I know.

There is a firmware update in the Samsung app store for the allshare cast dongle, available today. So far, there is a rapid connection established to the unit, stable. Sound issues also are resolved so far. Great update.

I have been through that forum and tried different versions of YT/ and installing methods.
New versions still plays better than older 2.4.4.
Many do play but a number don't - and unsure how to tell if they are HD etc (no icons in corner)
- various error messages - example attached
Since trying some youtube players (ie cutnpaste url - helps on many of them)
Same videos on S3 play no probs though...
MIght be something that I have to live with (1st world problems!)
The HD icon won't ever show in portrait (not enough room), but it will almost always show if you flip your phone to landscape.

I have been trying to use mutiscreen function of Realme 1 to mirror Mobile screen on TV. As soon as The phone is in landscape orientation, the audio stops and all I can see in video only.
Please help me with a resolution to this problem.
I am using anycast and this is working fine when I am using an MI phone and hence issue looks to be with the inbuild app.
Thanks in advance!!!
