Help Media Link HD - Questions and Troubleshooting

I have a question out to HTC but maybe someone here knows. When I go into Media Link Advanced settings in my phone my TV screen changes a little to show some more info and the one that stands out is that it is connected as 720p Resolution. I thought it did 1080p? Does anyone know more about this? My TV is 1080p capable; perhaps it requires a 1080p source to be played to switch over.

From this HTC One X's help (Q&A) on HTC's German site I translated (Google Translate :) ) this explanation of the Media Link's behave with 1080p/720p.

Q:
Is it possible to increase the image quality on more than 720p when a video by Media Link is displayed on an external HD TV?

A:
The resolution in this case depends on the content. Currently, 720p is the maximum that can be output via the DLNA dongle output. If it is a 1080p video, the resolution is automatically reduced to 720p.


Hope that helps.

Update:
Now this Q&A can also be found on HTC's international site ... choose FAQ > Multimedia ...

The sku ( I think) is EVH5463V.

It also doubles as a desktop PC Sync dock. There is a button at the top that you can slide from "HDMI Out" to "PC Sync."

marctronixx when I record something on the phone and then go to view it on the MediaLink, the video slow's down, then speed's up, and play's normal!? Then this cycle repeat's it's self!? The video is 7 min long!? I have movie on the phone (John Cater, Safe House etc...) and all of them play silky smooth, no hiccup's, nothing! But my recording's are jack up!? Is it the phone period!? What could be causing this issue!?

hard to tell. do you have any apps running in the background?

at the end of the day, it could just be your home network causing the slow down.

have you tried to connect DIRECTLY to the media link (ad hoc) bypassing your home network and gauging the results that way?

I'll try directly connecting to the media link! The reason I didn't do that initially, is because the moive (larger files) would play flawlessly!:thinking:
