Questions for the existing owners of the Tab (Slingplayer/output connections) - Galaxy Tab General

Hi guys,
I'm considering moving from the iPad to the Tab, but first I would like to get some extra info:
Any of you have the slingplayer app installed on the Tab? If so, how does it behave? Is the image quality good?
Also, have any of you connected the Tab to an external display? Again, if so, how good is the quality of the image on the external display?
Anyone know whats the max output resolution on external displays?
What kind of connections can we use? 3.5mm like the galaxy.s, HDMI dock?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Dont know about slingplayer. We dont have it here.
There is no official HDMI dock out at the moment, but there is a samsung cable ending in composite, which has a max resolution of 480i or 576i on most tvs.
The ad i saw suggested the cable was indeed sound-only. Google galaxy tab tv out.

It has. Look at the original line up.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm just wondering how the HDMI dock will work. If it's a mirror image from the screen, or if it will be only active for some apps (like the output connect on the iPad)

Well, it says on the side of the box that it is certified for FullHD 1080p video playback. As this is impossible on a 1024x600 screen, I'd have to assume that's through the HDMI dock. The Tab doesn't even break a sweat playing HD movies fullscreen on the internal screen, so I'm guessing there's plenty of processing ooomph to do it externally.

Slingplayer-app works perfectly. Absolute killer-app, 7" is the perfect size to watch TV. It is landscape only, though.

IS the playback smooth and with good resolution like if you use slingplayer on the computer?

Yes, no lag, totally comparable quality as with a laptop.

Video capability

Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to play heavy mkv files?
The Intel A110/GMA950 handles it well?
Not that I will watch on the shift but would be nice to out it to tv monitor..
If not has anyone tested it with less heavier but still high quality videos?
Mine is arriving in 5 days so I am not able to test yet..
Thanks!
Countdown!
365 days...(first time I read about it...)

Did you get the video to work... looking at getting one but am worried about the speed of the machine... I know it's not a racecar, but I would like to be able to play a movie, do general Office 2007 work etc... what's your impression?
thanks!

Office 2007 is working perfect. I installed the Enterprise version with full installation
Movies did not play well, but I must confess my energy state was "power saver".
I don't know how it is with "performance"
Will try that later.
I paly movies on mine and have no problems after installing the correct codecs.
this is the typical specs for the movies i watch, either in DivX or mp4

Me too.
Divx movies run smoothly. (first installed K-lite mega codec pack.)
grtz,

could someone try to run mkv videos on the shift and post some results?
I'm in a bit of doubt regarding shift playing them smoothly. The intel gma950 should be able to handle them without much problems, also the RAM memory should be enought but however I'm concerned about the processor. Try to run the videos by allocating higher priority from vista's task manager to the video player and it's process.

Google Maps resolution

Anyone noticed that the detail/zoom level isn't as good as it could be?
e.g. try to find Piccadilly Circus in London.
I am told that the HTC Touch 3G and the iphone shows better res.
I believe the HD is having same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532745
Is this device specific?
Anyone have ideas?
The search is great is a great app so want to keep this.
Have upgraded to 3.2 - no change
low resolution??
Got to be kidding...
Just take a look at these printscreens:

I think the OP is referring to the amount of Zooming In which can be done on Satellite view before GoogleMaps stops displaying the view and shows blank screen.
I agree with the OP, I've noticed the same thing. I don't have any answers but would love it if someone has some insight.

Hi
The zooming level hasn't changed at all, it is just the high resolution screen in a small area that means when you zoom in things don't seem so magnified than they would on a computer monitor for example.
If you take a screen crap and display that on your monitor and compare with the zoom level via a PC and I think you will find them the same.
Regards
Phil
I think it's true to say you need very good eyesight to use the TD2 screen to the full

You joke about it, I'm seriously considering reading glasses specifically for when I'm surfing on the TD2, to save using the zoom bar all the time! OK, I'll need them soon anyway, but that will be the main use!
Google maps zoom level
I don't think you understand my problem - maybe you don't have the same problem?
See the 3 screenshots. 2 taken from Opera and one from Google maps.
The Google maps is at least 2 or 3 levels of zoom less than that from using the browser.

Does XBMC need a plugin loaded to do that?
Update:
Figured it out... was the UPnP service, Got it running right now on my Nexus 7 using a Raspberry Pi with XBMC hooked up to my 60" HDTV....
While it is limited (not quite mirroring), it is pretty close. I am playing some Youtube stuff on it now. I also played a ripped version of Avatar I had on the Tablet.

Huh? There is no USB cable involved.
This is a Wireless (over WiFi) connection from the Tablet to a device (or TV) that has a WiFi signal to accept the connection to then display it on the Screen.
There is no USB involved. I have it working right now.

In the above, the Raspberry Pi has XBMC running in it.
The limits are the application Shot Beam. It can...
o Display what Photos images you have on your Device
o Play music files you have ON your Device
o Display what Videos you have on your Device
o Use your device's Network to Display YouTube
o Use your device's Network to Display Reddit Videos
See screen shot of App
Screen shot of app playing video
What it doesn't do, is display anything on your device which some people call mirroring.
The app appears to work okay, though it does fail a lot while playing videos. I'm not sure if it is the app wacking out, or the WiFi signal but based on other things I've done, the WiFi doesn't appear to be the issue.

For example Dead Trigger 2 support gamepads and keyboards You must find games which support it
USB3 is downwards compatible with USB2. That is not the issue. (The left, smaller side of a USB3 plug is the 3.0 part, the rest is just USB2.)
Most games do not support external keyboards. I ran into this issue on my TF700 all the time, it was a full package where the keyboard was a full part of the tablet, but still the games do not recognise them. You also can't use a mouse as you would on a PCgame, you still need to click and drag to look around.
Problem is the app devs, not the keyboard or the tab.

Are you using Kodi?

I just received and set up 2 of these and am experiencing this occasionally on both of them. It is happening when using Kodi v19.4 (Arm64).
I found if you turn off Hardware Acceleration in the Player Section of Kodi it will play correctly
Yeah I have this box too, its hardware decoder for HEVC is definitely buggy. Some videos are totally garbage, some get a sequence of frames repeated over and over. Turning off hardware acceleration works, but only for 1080P. If it's a 4K video, the CPU isn't fast enough to decode on its own.
The devs of the box told me it doesn't support Dolby Vision, that is the culprate. They didn't appear to be interested in fixing the firmware. I am curious if this is a 3588SoC / ARM Mali-G610 MP4 issue.
I haven't been able to get any answers from other devs using these chipsets in their devices to know if it is only this device or all of them? If it is only this one, I would love to find a custom firmware that allows the Dolby Vision to play correctly
Hello I have a h96 max v58 does somebody have a android 9 android 10 firmware?
HDR, no working. Why?.
The problem is with videos using the '10BIT-SDR-BT.709' format.
-> 10 bits per pixel, standard dynamic range, matrix: BT.709'
Green stripes appear here during playback.
Videos with '10BIT-HDR-BT.2020' work -> HDR10
For example, if you disable hardware-decoding in Kodi, it works.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are showing a different version of the H96 than the OP
