Help with HDMI and fullscreen

[Jose Hernandez]

Hello,

I'm a new user of android x86 and i been installed several version because i have a huge problem.

I have a Notebook Dell 3137 with Intel Celeron 2955U, and i have connected the notebook with a TV LG 43'' through an HDMI connection. When i boot android x86 6.0 RC all works, the sound by HDMI works well, at the android logo my TV recognized 1080p resolution but when starts at desktop is scaled at other resolution. I mean that is the resolution of the notebook 1366 x 768 because the screen are in a box in the center of the display TV.

I try to disable the notebook display with LVDS-1:d in menu.lst but didn't work work and i try vga=ask and the max resolution that it shows is 1366x768. So i do tried video=HDMI-A:e and didn't work too.

Any help please????

[Evan Langlois]

Very odd.  Please explain what you mean by "but didn't work work" 

I just tried this with one of my laptops, which uses the same native resolution as yours.  Android doesn't support multiple displays, so you must turn off the internal laptop display in order to drive the HDMI display at native resolution.   Here is what you would add to your grub command line :

  video=HDMI-1:D video=LVDS:d

Note that D means enable (like 'e'), but enables it in pure Digital mode.

I'm getting a slight overscan but I could likely change that with TV settings.

[Evan Langlois]

Sorry ... command line had a typo!   And it wouldn't let me edit it directly.  It's ..

    video=HDMI-1:D video=LVDS-1:d

It happeded with one of my lenovo laptop with celeron cpu. NOt geriing 1080p on my tv. But allother my notbook work well with 1080p with just adding this one video=LVDS-1:d. I don't know why all other laptop work. But not with the one with Celeron Cpu.

[Evan Langlois]

Grab a Linux boot disk and fire up a desktop.   See if the Linux desktop will let you set the HDMI display to 1080.  That will at least tell you if the Linux drivers support that mode for your video chipset.  Android-x86 is using Linux for all its low-level display drivers.

If that works, you should just need to get the framebuffer into the 1080p mode.  Use the command line I gave and then look into setting the linux framebuffer resolution at the grub command line.

Thanks for help.

[Harkaman Shivakoti]

I added this line video=HDMI-1:D video=LVDS-1:d, but still I don't get 1080p, I laptop screen also not off. In my other lapopts, if i add video=HDMI-1:D video=LVDS-1:d I can get 1080p and my notbook scrren is off, only tv screen is on.

As you said try to boot linux os and see If I get 1080p, here si the result.

Note in the mirror mode, a best matched mode for your
main display is selected, i.e., 1440x900 in your case.

To disable the built-in screen, you have to know its name.
Note LVDS-1, HDMI-1 are not fixed names.
They may change due to various reasons.
To get the correct names, use 'ls -l /sys/class/drm/'
to check that on android-x86.
On one of my laptop I got:

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-12-09 08:44 card0 ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-12-09 08:44 card0-DP-1 ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-DP-1
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-12-09 08:44 card0-DP-2 ->

-> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-12-09 08:44 card0-HDMI-A-2
-> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-2
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-12-09 08:44 card0-eDP-1 ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-eDP-1
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-12-09 08:44 controlD64 ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/controlD64
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-12-09 08:44 renderD128 ->
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/renderD128

So I use "video=HDMI-A-1:D video=eDP-1:d"
(i.e., the built-in screen is eDP-1)

[Jose Hernandez]

haha when i type work appears twice... but here we go..

I've tried with HDMI-1:D and LVDS and nothing happens. So i've try LVDS-1:d alone and the notebook display isn't shut off.  Tje notebook display conecction is by USB, HDI USB for mouse and touchscreen. I've tried UVESA_MODE=1920x1080 and the resolution of the laptop changes but the TV still with 1366 x 768.( A rectangle in the center)  Several days ago i tested with a monitor screen of 20'' and works the fullscreen (obvious)

i've edited menu.lst from mnt/grub and save it, and in the bootscreen i've edit the boot options and write the params that you show me but didn't work too.

Thanks

No I get 1080p on my TV screen. I used "video=1920x1080  video=eDP-1:d". This way I get 1080p on My tv screen and my laptop ascreen also off now. Audio is also playing on my Tv. 

But, when i try to play 1080p youtube then screen get lagging. Youtube 720p play no problem. ALso movie and iptv play well because these all are 720p.

[Evan Langlois]

This is a known issue with YouTube.  Have you tried using Kodi Media Center to play YouTube videos?

With my other computer, I can play youtube 1080p, no problem. I tested also remix os . And all play well. Only this laptop have issue. When i play youtube video 720, it is switching auto to 1080p and get lagging. Other program well.

[Evan Langlois]

What exactly are you saying?   Are you saying that all your computers use the exact same processor and the exact same video card?   Every video card uses different drivers and supports different extensions.   Obviously if you are having problems on another system running the exact same OS, it must be the hardware that is different.

Your options are to change the hardware, or change the software.  Let's see.  Option 1 = Throw out your laptop and buy a new one.   Option 2 = Change something in the software ... either the OS or the player.   In this case, Kodi media center has native x86 code for optimized playback which may perform better than  others.

Also, don't forget to test the video locally.  It could be your network causing lag.  Different network cards have different levels of support.  Anything can affect wireless networking and cause the delays you experience.  Download the video and then see if it plays locally. 

[Harkaman Shivakoti]

NO, they one playing all well "video=LVDS-1:d" using Intel i5 4.gen and intel hd 4000.  Acer

The one which not getting 1080p and i forced to get 1080p using "video1920x1080 video=eDP-1:d" using Intel celeron and Intel HD 4400. LENOVO

I will download and see how it will work with 1080p from youtube.

[Harkaman Shivakoti]

I downloaded 1080p vidoe from youtube. and it is the same. Video is laggin. not playing well. I downloaed 720 youtube video. it is playing well.

NO, they one playing all well "video=LVDS-1:d" using Intel i5 4.gen and intel hd 4000.  Acer

[Evan Langlois]

Once again, what are you using to play back the videos?

VLC is well known as being able to play just about anything and do it well.   However, I don't believe VLC can stream directly from YouTube.  Kodi can play directly from YouTube.   Have you tried it?

[Harkaman Shivakoti]

sorry. I used mx player to play.  Just tried with VLC 1080p and it play well. Youtube app play well 720, but not 1080p video. KOdi play 720p only from youtube addon. But file which i dowbloaded 1080p video plays well on kodi and vlc. 

[Evan Langlois]

I am not impressed with MX Player.   I think your current situation is the best you will get on that system

[Povilas Staniulis]

Kodi can't stream from Youtube directly. You need a plugin and strm
files with special URLs.
VLC can't stream Youtube at all because it also needs a plugin which
isn't present in the Android version.

[Evan Langlois]

I dunno about special URLs.  I didn't have to type any, and the URLs for youtube aren;t very special.  The plugin works fine although the authentication was a bit weird under Remix.

Finally on My Celeron cpu laptop, I get 1080p on mytv, sound is playing on my tv, and 1080p youtube video is also play in youtube app and mx player. 

I just added this "video=LVDS-1:d video=HDMI-1:D video=eDP-1:d". And it is working as I wanted. 

But there still some issue with some app which crush android-x86_64-6.0-r1, but it is playing on remix os. I like this os better because it feel like more android. 

Do u know ehy it is cruching on android-x86_64-6.0-r1, but not in  REmix os. Sorry for out off topic.

[Jose Hernandez]

Thanks! but how can i know what is the laptop screen? DP-1 eDP-1 ???

you would need to tell us what app and give us a catlog for us to even guess
