I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 on two of my devices, a Nexus 10 (running CM11 M5) and a Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (running the latest build by crpalmer). Since I did that, I've noticed something weird that never showed up on either of those two devices before. When I download movies or TV shows from Google Play Movies & TV, they always download in standard definition. The setting is set to download in HD, but in practice this is ignored.
This isn't happening on my Nexus 7 that runs stock. Can anybody give a reason for this and a possible solution?

So I recently replaced my hdx 7 with a nexus 7 because I needed otg capabilities. But now I'm really missing being able to play my amazon prime instant videos. Is there any way the video player apk can be ripped out and ported like was done with the HD in GB days?

No. Specific DRM & DHCP limitations prevent this. There are only 3 ways to get AVOD on a tablet. 1. Buy an iPad. 2. Buy a Kindle. 3. buy an Andorid tablet with Android version 4.2 or EARLIER (Chromium webkit kills Flash for good).
I recently bought a generic media box from ebay (A20 Dual Core Android 4.2). As per the Forum introductory video, not only am I a noob but an Android super noob.
I have tried HD files (incl 1080p) from my external drive and they play very well! Youtube in HD also works great. Netflix is another issue though
The app (latest from the play store) loads and plays, but the quality of the video is horrible! I regularly use Netflix on my iPad 2 (wi-fi), computer (wired), and laptop (wi-fi) and the quality is great on those. I've tried using the media box both through a wired and wi-fi connection but there is no change in the quality. On my computer, I logged into Netflix and hard-selected for it to use the high quality video option. I'm fairly positive it's not a bandwidth issue.
In case it matters, I'm using an HDMI cable and have tried at both the 1080p and 720p output settings.
I've included screen shots of the OS version and build and the Netflix version and build.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Could this be a Netflix app and OS version / build co-existence issue?
Hi there cut to the chase.
Issue 1
-----------
I have various laptops / PC with Serviio installed happily streaming to my TV (Samsung 5 Series)
With my old stock ROM (4.2 I think) connecting to the TV was no issue, start video in stock app then click the Allshare icon in the top left and hey presto video on TV. Them my network (3UK) released the 4.3 update and my phone no longer showed my TV, just hung at detecting devices. A couple of times it did work but I have no clue what was different.
I installed BubbleUPNP and that picks up both TV and Laptops so I know the DLNA side of the phone is fine.
I then put various custom ROMs on and found myself more comfortable with Revolutionary S5 and it worked, connected to TV everything okay. Since the first time it will not pick up the TV.
Issue 2
----------
With the Revolutionary S5, there is the S5 video app and that shows Personal, Download and Devices in the top tabs. If I chose Devices it lists my Serviio installations but gives me the message "After you have shared videos on the connected devices they will appear here"
But they are shared as my TV, BubbleUpnp and various other DLNA apps/ programs can play the files.
Does anyone know of any solutions to these ? Or am I stuck using a third party app to play media from my SAMSUNG phone to my SAMSUNG TV ?!
Cheers
Good evening!
I'm having an issue with Huawei Mediapad7 Youth 2. Android version is 4.3.
No browser installed is able to play streams and according to google play, adobe flash player is not compatible, or at least the available versions... However, I can use youtube and watch its videos with no problem, but I guess that can be explained by the youtube app being present in the tablet.
It's a tablet that was part of my phone service package, so it comes with pre-installed apps and company-customized interface.
It simply doesn't even show a player on screen.
Is this an issue I can be able to fix? What can I do?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
hey guys I have tried numerous 5.1 roms, Not a single one can i get the chromecast to actually show up on. I know the chrome cast end is working because i can use it on my note 3. But I am trying to setup this note to be a dedicated kodi machine, but i cant get the chromecast to even be listed.
Would there be a 4.4.4 rom that could use the Cast app? (my nexus 7 LTE can cast on 4.4.4) I have flashed 6 roms in the past day, and not a single one can list the chromecast. If i have to install odin and go with a 5.1 rom I can install odin.(partitions are too small as its a 4.4.4 formatted device.
This is for my sister's house and its the only spare phone i have. Casting kodi from her PC reliably is all but impossible. I would need to use screen cast.
(CM roms have issues with Screen Cast?) This is Really all the Device needs to do.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys, I feel as i have been beating my head against a wall. Thanks!
