Miracast and Android JB - subtitles and 1080p - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to send a 1080p picture and subtitles through Miracast to an HDMI dongle?
I have a tolino 8.9 tablet (Jelly Bean 4.2.2, 1920x1200 screen). As all JB and later devices, it doesn't send a full 1080p video but rather a squeezed 1920x1200 that as a result is something more like 720p. I'd much prefer to get a full 1080p video. Is Miracast an option here? I need both 1080p and subtitle support.

Enable Hardware Acceleration VeganTab 5.11

Is it in the build.prop script? What is the switch command to enable it?
Thanks!
VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 has it enabled, its the Gingerbread roms that have issues AFAIK.

I have VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 installed and I don't know that hardware decoding is really working. I have an MKV file (720p) with the following stats that plays quite choppy:
Video: H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC), 3482 kb/s
Resolution: 1280x720
Audio: AC3, 384 kb/s
First off, Meridian won't handle AC3 sound (and the video is still choppy). Arcmedia does handle AC3 sound, but the video is even choppier than playing in Meridian.
What gives? I thought this thing could play back 1080p with no issues, let alone 720p. Divx plays fine, but that's not what I bought this thing for...
Any ideas?

See Roebeet's post regarding Tegra 2 limitation.
And for the record the advertised 1080p playback was through a dock and hdmi cable to a 1080p display, not on the 1024x600 display built in.
This tablet lacks the power I personally expected, but at the right bitrate you can still get a movie that maxes the resolution of the screen, plays smoothly and still retains HD detail.

webtop 1080p?

I can't seem to find an answer to this, but can the webtop hack display in 1080p? When I connect it to my receiver it forces me into 720p and no other resolutions are even listed in the drop down box.
dont think so as the Media center playback can only do 720p aswell for me
"xrandr" command should give you a list of all supported display resolutions, im trying to get 1080p but 1920x1080 is not an option on the list... i dont know why since my tv is full hd 1080p
use "xrandr -s 1920x1080" and try to change resolution
The classes involved for HDMI detection and setting the resolution have static variables for resolutions higher than 720p, however it's all hooked up through JNI and I don't know what the underlying library supports.
Is there any news?
Is there anyway to see movies with srt subtittles with Media center?

[Q] HDMI Connection only 720P. Any idea how to change it to 1080P?

Hi,
I am owner of a Sony Xperia Tablet S with a docking station(using to connect to a TV through HDMI cabel). When I connect the tablet to my TV(Samsung 1080P) It is only recognized as 720P device. That's probably OK, but when I play 1080P movie It should change to 1080P video resolution but it doesn't happen. I tried to search for a HDMI output setting in the tablet but there is no such thing, I also tried several video players, even to play exact resolution size video - 1920x1080 no change... still only 720P. And to be honest 720P doesn't look very brilliant from this tablet. I hoped to use the tablet as some kind of "all round video player".
Is there any way that I can convince the tablet to play videos in 1080P/Full HD? Any idea how to resize HDMI output resolution?
I know that it is mirroring my device, but even though it should automatically resize when playing full HD movies. (Saw it on couple of videos, where it does really work. The TV shows 1080P videos and the devices screen stays black, I guess because of their lower resolution, but that's OK.)

[Q] RK3188

I have installed the latest Beta on my TV Player which uses the Rockchip RK3188. 2GB DDR3 with 8 GB Flash It is currently hooked to a 1080P monitor and the Google TV OS shows resolution is set to 1080P but in XBMC the arrows to change the resolution are not grayed out but it wont change from just below 720P.
I have successfully played videos at the 1080P resolution using the video player in Google TV. My test video is a 11Gig MP4 Blu-Ray rip of Avatar. Any help getting the resolution to 1080P in XBMC would be appreciated.

Prime Video not showing HDR but just HD 1080p

I'm wondering if it's only me or if I'm doing something wrong, but a tv show that shows in 4K HDR in my TV is not showing more than HD 1080p in my Tab S7 Plus. So, no HDR.
I'm sure Wifi Quality is more than enough (tested 400 Mbps) so I'm not sure what I'm missing here
