HDMI / Sony / On Screen Display / WTF - Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers

Hi all!
Long shot, but you just never know........
T95Z Plus TV Box
Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV
So when I select a difference sources with this TV, it displays in white text on the screen the input; screen format; input name etc. IE: "T95Z, AV8". Now this is expected behaviour.
I've not experienced this issue with any other device, but this is what's occurring:
During normal use of the box, IE: watching a film or stream, it keeps displaying the above mentioned information on the screen. As if the TV box is communicating with the TV or trying to change screen resolution....or something. Basically it seems to be entirely random, but the on screen informative channel display keeps popping up over the content. This isn't a "feature" I can disable on the TV unfortunately.
There looks to be a myriad of HDMI / CEC and general display settings on the TV Box. Does anyone have an educated guess whether this can be addressed?
Thanks in advance,
Carl.

For anyone that has the same problem, it's a know issue with the Sony Bravia TVs and it still does it on the new models. I ended up just turning CEC features off and manually turning on/off the TV.

[Q] HDMI / MHL App request

Does anyone know if an App has been made to adjust screen settings when the phone is hooked up to a television with an MHL Adapter?
What i need is something to disable phone screen while plugged in to the tv, and a way to lock the screen to landscape orientation.
Please advice if you are aware of an app with the specified functions.
I´m also interessted in this... also which files are related to the output settings, since ALL my videos stutters via MHL, ..... refreshrate is always at 30 Hz (1080p)
make a request to the voodoo colour devs to add this maybe?

Full screen on HDMI out

When I hook up my prime in r my 720 p TV everything works great, shows the whole screen. But when I hook it up to my 1080p screen it cuts off the outer edge if the screen all the way around. Thick enough to barley see the apps icon on the home screen. But it also does this on my Acer a 500, so I think it is a android issue. Is there a setting that I have never seen before to fix this?
Also I made sure its not the zoom, wide or stretch feature on the TV

this is an issue with your TV enabling overscan of the HDMI image. on my panasonic plasma TV i had to troll through the advanced picture settings and change the "HD Size" to "Size 2". i don't know why panasonic makes this the default but that's how it goes. once that setting was made the display was a perfect 1080p crop. changing zoom/wide/stretch doesn't solve this problem because all that does is adjust how a sub-1080p image is presented on the 1080p surface.

My TV used to do the same, it's as he says: find overscan, give it the boot!

[Q] Change aspect ratio of MHL output?

Having an unusual problem with outputting my AT&T Galaxy S2 (stock rom) over MHL to my television. Most stuff looks fine and is properly mirrored, but a couple of video streaming apps I use have an odd aspect ratio problem. Instead of mirroring exactly what's on my phone's screen, which looks fine, the video on my TV is forced to 4:3. (Not a big Netflix user, so this isn't one of the problem apps.) My TV doesn't have very many aspect ratio options, so the only change I can make there actually doubles the size of the black pillars. Is there anyway to fix this? Another thing I've noticed is that when it's outputting this way, the notification bar is still visible on my phone's screen, but it disappears on the TV.

Netflix goes black when moving mouse cursor

We've got the MediaPad M5 with attached hardware keyboard. (Original Huawei/Fine Triumph Folio keyboard)
In Netflix, as soon as we move the mouse cursor, the video turns black. Sound is still playing, overlays like subtitles and time line are still visible, but the video itself is not. Wait 15 seconds for the mouse cursor to fade away, and the video comes back.
I've also tried YouTube, Plex and the video streaming app for the national TV here, and they do not have this problem.
I've tried re-installing Netflix, rebooting the tablet, changing colour mode & temperature, text & display size, smart resolution, colour correction, mouse pointer size, advanced visual effects, but the problem does not change.
Does anybody know a solution?
I have the same issue but with touch. Idk why

MirrorShare and video?

On my Samsung s9+, using the "Smart View" feature allows me to view the screen and video (from, for instance, the TiVo app) on my fire stick. On my M5, using the "MirrorShare" feature, the screen sharing works right up till video starts playing, then all I see mirrored are the video controls, but not the video itself, it is all black (the sound comes through though). Anyone know why this would be? Is the M5 screen resolution too high to display on a 1080 fire stick or something? (But the samsung has a higher resolution than 1080 display too). Just curious. I can stick with the phone for screen sharing for now.
