LG O2X HDMI Video playback on Cyanogenmod7 - LG Optimus 2x

Hi xda-devs,
I recently bought LG O2X and modded it with CM7 . Here's the issue I'm seeing: Trying to do a HD video playback using HDMI mirroring, the frames get skipped in the HDMI screen. However, the HDMI mirroring works just perfect in all other cases.
Lemme explain this issue in detail...
On LG's stock ROM:
1. Connect HD cable to a HDMI TV and play a HD video.
2. phones' screen (primary display) will be disabled and the video is played only on the HDMI screen. (secondary display)
On CM7 ROM:
1. Connect HD cable to a HDMI TV and play a HD video.
2. It tries to display the video on both primary and secondary screens!
3. Hence, some of the frames will be skipped on the secondary screen (but not on primary), thereby causing a bad experience with video playback.
Does anyone know of a fix to this?
(I 'think' the solution here is to just disable the primary screen while performing a video playback and enable it back when the video playback is finished?)
Thanks in advance!

hdmi out is not working on CM7 jet only 1080p i think

hi smokeweedevery,
For me the hdmi out is working normally. (I have access to a 60' screen).
I used the normal hdmi cable to connect and the hdmi mirroring just worked out-of-the-box.
The issues comes when trying to play a video. (as I have described at the beginning)

Anyone else facing this issue? Is somebody looking into this?

Yes I also have this issue, it is a known CM7 issue. When I play a video on my 1080p projector it just plays and then it seems like the projector looses input and blacks out, but comes back sometimes.
I also tried on two 1080p TV's and its the same there...

Hello;
I'm have the same problem with playing back HD videos on my tv. I'm using de latest CM, 7.1

1080p content playback over HDMI

I'm having troubles with stuttering when I'm trying to play 1080p blue ray content over HDMI. I have tried stock 2.3 and CM7 both with similar results. I noticed that when I overclock to 1.4ghz stuttering is less. My question is how is possible to play without stuttering?

to me it worked with no problem
i have a friend who works in a service shop who tested it for me
he tested on an LG TV
maybe it`s because of the TV?
i also put a video filmed with the phone on my Samsung TV worked ok also
Well I think "1080p Blue Ray" is too much.
I usually convert my vids to 720p mp4, it plays flawless that way. The phone is not a dedicated video player
O, wait, I'm assuming you're using the stock video player, no? Cause if you're not, that may be the issue.
Other players in the market use software decoding, while LG's stock use hardware decoding. Given LG has full access of the Tegra's code, it allows the player to make full use of the chipset's power.
i think i might know. it`s stuttering because the amount of data needed to be processed by the phone is too big. since you said it`s blue-ray.
also the vid is probably big. more than 8GB. since the standard format used by the phones is FAT. you probably converted it to NTFS or exFAT?

[Q] Netflix with TV adapter freezes on TV ...

I modded my Nook HD plus with Cyanogen 10.2.1 ovation.
The Netfix app runs great on the Nook itself, but when I connect the HDMI adapter
to the Nook, the TV video randomly pauses at times for several seconds to it
seems several minutes before it picks back up. The audo seems to track OK.
The video on the Nook continues to play when the TV pauses.
I tested the HDTV adaptor with my wifes un-modded Nook and it seems to work perfectly.
Is this a Jelly Bean OS issue or something amiss with Cyanogen?
The version of my Netflix app is 3.1.2
Is there a fix for this?

I haven't seen a fix but I have the same problem. Seems it has to do with the CM mirroring the output unlike stock which only displays video on the tv with HDMI hooked up. I just use chromecast which still works great

Miracast Netflix Issues

So I am running the JPC CM11 and am having an issue with Miracast and Netflix. I have a Netgear PTV3000 and use the stock Castscreen app found in Settings under Display & lights. It connects perfectly, I get smooth screen mirroring, everything works, audio is not lagged. The only issue I have is that Netflix will only cast a black screen with the controls overlayed on top. Its like whatever movie I am playing its just pitch black. Sound works, and I can pause and do whatever. All the other parts of the app work fine. It isn't an issue with video casting as Youtube works perfectly fine. When I was stock this same setup with the LG Miracast app would work fine for Netflix as it would just cast just the movie, no controls but screen mirroring was completely messed up. Just wondering if anybody has run into this on their own or has an idea on how to fix it. Its ruining the use of Miracast for me.
Bump.
Having the exact same issue on my Nexus 6. Rooted, but no custom ROM. Miracast only worked after adding a line to the build.prop. Everything works except Netflix and Hulu.
Please help!

Hardware Decoder Issues

Is anyone else having issues trying to watch live streams through APK apps. If I try and watch streams with the hardware decoder enabled, the Remix mini freezes so bad I have to disconnect it from the mains to get it running again.
I can only use the software decoder settings in the app which makes the picture quality not so good.
Anybody know of a fix for this?
