Hello all,
Just like the title of this thread says. Im having a very odd issue with my Transformer displaying embedded video correctly. Whenever I open a video in a website, or within the pulse app, I will get a solid white or black solid box over the video. It usually covers the bottom 75% or so of the video, making it unwatchable. If anyone has a solution to this it would be awesome. It is a very annoying problem. It doesnt happen in the youtube app at all, it is only with embedded video.

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm not sure how long this problem has existed, but with the latest version of YouTube, there is no option to maximize the video while the tablet is attached to the keyboard.
Yes, it's a well-known bug in the latest version... Just "Uninstall updates" from Settings->Apps->YouTube and you'll be back to the previous version...

Oh so that's why it wouldn't do full screen. I'm always docked so I thought Google just simply disabled the feature in the latest Youtube much like they've crippled Youtube on the Desktop with the new update.
Note you still get full screen over HDMI.
Also does the load time seem longer after the new update? Mine is constantly buffering. Very annoying

Two other problems with the latest YouTube app:
1) Videos autorotate on screen even with the system's autorotate turned off.
2} It is impossible to read the full text of long video title names.
Are you guys experiencing the same?
I downloaded a few SBS videos, but the video player doesn't recognize them as 3D...
Anyone have hints or is there a setting to forve 3D mode?

Found this a few weeks ago;
play the movie using the Gallery app. Click on the little 3D icon at the bottom right of the screen. The movie will still show side by side, but will enter 3D mode.
Click the Android options button (the icon looks like a solid box inside a clear box at the bottom left of your phone) and you will get the following options:
Click on the 3D Formatter option. It will provide you with a number of 3D options including Left/Right, Right/Left, Top/Bottom and Fullscreen 3D. Select Left/Right (first option on the left,A message will appear that says: “This 3D data is saved as valid 3D contents with the formatter which you’ve chosen“. From that point on, the phone will recognize this movie as 3D and the little 3D icon will appear at the bottom of the movie. The good news is, as soon as you launch it, the movie will run in 3D.
Enjoy your movie!

If you remove your battery or hard reboot, you have to repeat this procedure as the phone "forgets" this setting.
Good luck, keith
This doesn't seem to work for me. Neither Gallery nor 3D Gallery has the option to go 3D for the movies, except movies I have shot with camera itself.
This is frustrating

If the sbs videos are compatible they will display as side by side videos i.e two identiical frames. While the video is playing touch the screen press pause and press the 2D/3D on screen icon, press the menu button on the bootom of the phone and from the pop up select 3D formatter. touch the sbs icon on the bottom of the selector and all should then be O.K
Yep, this is definitely what I've been attempting to do.
The video appears side by side (for reference it is a LG Demo video) but alas, no 3D button...
Like none. No button.
Would this be a resolution thing?

I'll try that, thanks.

So I finally got some time to screw around with this and nothing works.
I mean literally nothing. I'm starting to think I have to upload the Video to Youtube, then re-download it to get it to work on this phone, and that's a far stretch.
Can someone actually post screens on how this is done? I am starting to think that the 3D capability of this phone is just B.S. if you can't import files to it.
One other thing I'd like to mention, the programs to which the tutorials suggest aren't the same version or appear to have a different UI and/or presets missing from them.

Are you running FROYO? Stock ROM?
I am running this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963847
Maybe it is a different Gallery/Video Player?
The ICS video player seems to be unchanged from the gingerbread version. I have Used the method I described in earlier post to get sbs video to work correctly on stock rom . The ROM you are on may be different, maybe if you post a thread in the rom's own thread some help may be found there. You could ask for a download for the video player from there or a link to a compatible player. Sorry I can't be more help.
Good luck.
3d vids
I use 3dvplayer to play all of my 3d content. It's superb. Even plays top/bottom 3d vids. It may solve your problem.

Thanks for the replies, I haven't given up quite yet. I'll try this otherwise I'll revert back to stock.

This App works well. Way better than trying to mess around with trying to make the stock junk work.

Happy to be of service. Have you checked out the video section on the app ? Lots of vids to watch and download. :good:
I did. Interesting. Lots of them are in Chinese (obviously).
They need a good crowd sourced translation team to get their program up to snuff.

Since the new Youtube App was released (with the minimize video feature), I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the Video info screen to upvote/downvote or read comments. Both arrows just minimize the video and tilting the Shield sideways does nothing.
I rolled back to the previous version of Youtube and if I tilt the Shield sideways, I can get to that screen and read comments, see related videos, etc. From the video itself, I can like/dislike using the menu key in the top right.
I'm sticking with the old version for now, but does someone know something I don't? Am I missing something with the new version, or is it pretty much impossible to do anything besides WATCH the video?

have you set the Shield to auto-rotate in the settings?
issues i've HAD with youtube, is that it doesn't stream well connected to some wifi. like at my work, i can't really run HD. Or if tethered to my phone, streaming will keeping trying to buffer every few sec/min.

It's definitely on because it rotates with the older Youtube app.

Odd. Mine wouldn't do that last night until I rolled back to the previous version of Youtube. I will have to try again.
I have a Samsung Smart TV series 6203.
My HTC One M8 is S-off, with ViperONE rom.
Screen mirroring from my HTC One M8 works fine, meaning audio and video are working, everything that appears on my phone is mirrored exactly on the TV screen, EXCEPT for Netflix videos. When I open the netflix app, everything still works, I can see the Netflix menu on the TV, but once I play a video, the video player shows no video (audio is OK), I can see the frame of the video player, I can see the time bar on the bottom, but just no video.
I searched and can't find anyone with similar problem, most people have problem making the mirroring work, but mine is fine just no Netflix video. Could it be because of copyright issues, that Netflix disabled it because of copyright?? but this user DUGLESSM did it successfully in his youtube video "2013 SAMSUNG SMART TV SCREEN MIRRORING A S4 WITH NO DONGLE SCREEN MIRROR" (sorry i'm not allowed to post outside link yet) at about 6:55 into video.
any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Did you find a solution for this? I have the same problem with tmobile note 5 rooted with cfautoroot 6.0.1 it happens with hulu, netflix, Amazon video, hbonow.com. YouTube will work, but not the other video streaming services. Every other feature works fine with screenmirroring. The video just goes black on the TV but still plays on phone fine.
Google?

I have the same problem described HEREand have searxhed and searched and am searching right now and is how I came across your thread.. lets get this fixed. Btw i can get slingtv to work also i am beginning to thinkit is the app services themaelves. Lets jeep this thread going.
Found an answer HERE I had come across the fix of disabling hdcp in build.prop but didn't know own what it really meant. Basically hdcp is DRM or copyright protection and when you alter your stock software the apps that use hdcp will not function properly. There is no current or expected fix.

Netflix connection error from a phone/tablet to TV
Has anyone found a fix yet for mirroring Netflix to a TV using a phone or tablet please?
As with everyone else I see my phone mirroring function works fine too but as soon as I hit play the TVs mirror function is cancelled. Someone suggested a rooting problem fix but my Samsung Galaxy S7 is not rooted so is there another fix please?
Netflix Mirror Black Screen.
The Black Screen issue is not due HDCP,content protection or everything else you may heard before.is more of a Bug.Here's the fix.
