IPad HDMI full screen?

Tried the BT Sport app for the first time tonight via HDMI to my TV and was disappointed to find that the picture appeared in the middle of the screen, surrounded by black bars. Just to be clear, I am using an iPad 4 with the digital av connector and have selected the full screen icon in the app.
I googled this issue and it seems that apps need to support full screen output, so why doesn't the BT sport app and will it be updated?
Or am I doing something wrong?

You are right - the App doesn't support full screen via HDMI. The best you can do is use your TVs zoom function to minimise the black bars.
I found that the iPhone app was slightly better, and fills the screen if you use 'Caption Zoom' on my Sony which cuts out the Clock/WiFi bar in Portrait mode.
I don't know which app gives the better picture however on a full size TV - they both had noticeable artifacts on the TV even when seemingly at best quality on the idevice screen. Not surprising as the app streams are not designed for TVs. I suspect plugging a laptop in via HDMI and running the Silverlight player full screen is a better bet.
BT don't want to make it too easy to display on a large screen TV - they would rather you took out a BT TV subscription you see!

IPad IOS 8.1 full screen safari web app display issue

My company produces a web app that is intended to be used from the iPad's Full Screen Home Screen launch.
we are using the tags:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" >
Since taking the updates to IOS 8, 8.1, & 8.2, when the app is launched in full screen mode from the home screen, the iPad's top line including the text "iPad", its signal strength, VPN status, current time, battery life, and blue-tooth indicators are superimposed on the top line of every page - making it difficult to read that top line of data coming from our app.
Additionally, there appears to now be a blank white band that shows up on the footer of the web app. Both of these new additions to the full screen appearance is yielding a somewhat less professional appearance.
Is there some sort of tag or other setting that we can use to hide these new areas that are appearing?

This is a better illustration. I'm thinking that the white band at the bottom of the screen should be at the top of the screen (like the iphone does) and the web content should be shifted down that amount of space.
the white band is hard to see with this white background however, but its obvious on the ipad in full screen mode... so go to the link on your device, save it to the home screen and relaunch...

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments

IPad Air display refresh rate for full screen movies?

What exactly happens if I play a movie on the iPad full screen with a rate of e.g. 24p, 25p or 50i?
The stated maximal refresh rate is 60Hz.
Will this rate be reduced when playing movies?
Or will frames be dropped / interpolated if the frame rate and the refresh rate don't match?
Or will the movie be sped up / slowed down?
When using the HDMI adapter, I can see that it always outputs 60p, regardless of the movie frame rate. But maybe this is different on the internal panel.
Thanks for any insight!

Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

IPad iTunes rental TV = Full screen?

When previewing the rental movies from TV using iPad and digital av adapter (hdmi), tv shows a windowboxed image. When watching a movie from the library, tv shows full screen. Does rental movies work in full screen, or does the preview show the exact image I will get when renting?
I really don't want to pay for a windowboxed movie!
Thanks for your answer!

I dont have that option, sadly.
I presume the feature you guys are on about hasnt been implemented for Windows users yet...
Its frustrating because "The Resistance" iTunes LP is 1280*720 px and my 15" widescreen laptop is 1280*800 so technically it should fit but it insists on putting the scrollbars in. I cant see this button you guys are on about, and the option isnt there in the view menu (ctrl + f and alt + enter dont work either).
So fullscreen option for windows users would be great (yes I am on the latest version of iTunes). I'd quite like to set the animated background as a screensaver as well but I guess I can dream on...
Also what the previous person said about the lyrics: the blurb about itunes LP when it first came out mentioned animated lyrics but they arent there in the muse one which is annoying. They have pictures of the pages from the cd booklet, but i was expecting some fantastic arty animation to go along with the song.
Its a shame 'cause I love the LP concept, but it A) has a couple of missing features which really should be there and B) doesnt cross over to my iPod classic in any way.

Any ideas for smooth scrolling of full-screen panels for iPad?

I'm working on an app that is basically just a grid of full screen panels that the user can go through by swiping left, right, up, down. I want it to lock to a singled direction once a user starts swiping so I've got it set to only start scrolling in a direction when the swipe direction has been moved by a few percent - i.e. if delta (x or y) > 5% and delta x > delta y then scroll in the x direction. I'm using a method that detects 'fast swipes' to switch between panels but can also use 'slow swipes' where if the panel is moved more than 50% of the screen then it switches.
To do all this, I'm using MouseEvents - up, down, enter frame etc and TweenLite. It just isn't working right at the moment - seems to work fine when testing on a computer but on my iPad it's just not working right. The locking doesn't seem to work quite right and it's jumpy. It is an iPad 3 so it's a retina display iPad with the weakest CPU/GPU but I want to make it work fine across all iPads so catering for the weakest setup would be best. I'm running my app at 60 fps and the stage is set to 1024x768 with images that are quite high resolution (more than retina). Would 30 fps make a better choice? Should I resize my imagery so that it fits 2048x1536 exactly or is the Flash Builder clever enough to do that on the fly? (I had assumed that it would be best to let it do its thing so that when I try porting this app to iPhones and other tablets, it would be easier).
Is there anything 'out there' already that does what I'm trying to do already? I'd like to get my solution to work but if I'm just reinventing the wheel and there are existing code solutions that do exactly this then I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction!

If you are using a stage size of 1024x768 then you should use images of that size - that will make things faster as AIR won't have to scale the bitmap itself and images will take up less memory.
If you are targeting retina screens then you could consider setting the stage to 2048x1536 - upscaling from 1024x768 works ok but depending on what you are displaying users on retina might notice a slight blur.
If you are just using sprites then performance will be poor - AIR has to do a lot of visible area calculation on sprites which really slows it down on iPad. If you haven't already then I would suggest looking at either starling/feathers or doing your own blitting via bitmapData.draw. Probably Starling will be best - it is quite easy to get up and running and the difference in performance can be significant (things suddenly start working like you want them to!). There might even be something in Feathers (which is a UI component library built on Starling) that does what you want already (I don't use it so can't comment). I am using Starling for an iPad app at the moment that involves shifting whole screens around and performance is fine with very little coding effort from iPad1 up.

Mini DVI to HDMI problem, won't play DVD movie full screen on TV

I use a mini-DVI port adapter with a DVI to HDMI cable to a 32" 1080p TV. When I play the DVD player screen on the TV and select full screen mode, the screen shifts back to macbook and displays full screen on the mac and the TV displays a black looking background. This issue only started after installing Lion.

Thanks for that. I have a Y adapter (3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound just like you said). Under input options on my TV, I can select either HDMI1 input (which gives me video only) or AV1/S input (which gives me audio only) - not both at once...Could you explain how I can get stereo audio on my TV?

How can I view movies in iPad with the full screen?

Ok, I bought two movies from iTunes on my iMac and synced them with my iPad. It went well.
But when I play them back on the iPad, I can only view them in letterbox/portrait mode which uses only one third of the iPad screen!!! Why is this? Is there anyway I can actually utilise the other two thirds of the iPad screen to view the movie? Otherwise it kind of defeats the object of having an iPad surely?

Hi,
I think we are going to experience some format problems on our mobile devices, unfortunate as that may be.
This is caused, I think, by the video and cable providers preparing to roll out live programming through LTE
broadband from the cell towers to multiple mobile devices and home television. We should expect some
bumbs along the road.
This may be an unrelated problem:
On my Ipad, before OS 5 upgrade, I was was able to view Xfinity, HBO Live, ABC Live and CNN Live in full
screen using the popup full screen icon on the top right of the screen.
After OS 5, HBO,ABC,CNN LIVE - all could be viewed full screen using the popup icon.
The popup Icon is not available with Xfinity. Xfinity is now letterbox. Very, very annoying!!!
The Comcast New Products department said that engineering would fix this problem. I sure hope they do.

I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV. Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection. Anyone can help?

I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV. Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection. Anyone can help?

The iPad Screen is almost square, HD TVs are rectangular so will never be full screen. When watching movies, the movies native aspect ratio will be used rather than the iPads screen aspect ratio so will look full screen if the movie is full screen, but most likely will be seen in wide screen letter box format. with black bars across the top and bottom as that what most movies from iTunes are in, format wise

If I buy iWork on my iPhone, will I be able to install that same iWork through my apple account onto an iPad and be able to use that full screen? Or do i have to pay for a iPad version of iWork, where the screen settings and other stuff are different?

I'd like to get iWork on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4 mainly for traveling purposes... Right now I lent my iPad to my dad whose in somewhere else now so I don't have access to the iPad. So, I was wondering if right now I buy iWork onto my iPhone, and then when the iPad comes home, can I install that same iWork I bought through my apple acout and not have to pay for another version, and the iPad iWork can go full screen beautifully and not ugly?

iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

Ipad icons too big to see full screen after updating to IOS 8?

I have an IPAD Retina (4th generation) and after I updated to IOS 8, it worked fine for 2 or 3 days. Yesterday my screen went too large to display the full screen (icons are also large). When I open an app, everything is large. I tried changing the font seize but no change. I rebooted my ipad a great number of times, no change. I've searched Google but I haven't seen anyone talking about this problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

IPad Web App full screen mode Network Connectivity Retry Option

Hi,
I have developed a web application in HTML5 for iPad (full screen mode). Now I am testing the application on iPad for connectivity scenario i.e. to see how the app behaves when the connectivity is lost and then resumed after some time.
Steps -
Launch the web application in full screen mode from home screen (connected to a wifi network).
Click on any button to submit the form and at the same time turn off external wifi modem.
A pop-up message appears with the options to close or retry.
Now turn on the modem and click on retry.
The expectation is that on clicking retry the data in the web form should be sent to the web server, but instead of POST request, a GET request is being sent. Because of this, the data filled in the form is lost as the page is simply refreshed.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks

This is more of a feature of the browser already.
With iOS6, Mobile Safari on the iPhone introduced full-screen browsing support in landscape mode.
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57513848-285/how-to-use-safaris-full-screen-mode-on-io s-6/
One isn't able to take advantage of this feature in portrait mode though. However, the meta tag you're referring to in order to hide Safari UI Components requires the webapp to be added to the Homescreen; then when you launch the site through the icon on the Homescreen, you would find the UI components hidden.
Also, the latest version of Chrome for iOS released a couple of days ago includes the ability to view pages in fullscreen as well (for both landscape and portrait modes) with scrolling gestures enabling the hiding and showing of the omnibox and toolbar while navigating down a page.

Mac Mini does not display HDMI 1080i in full screen on TVs

I have a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini that I am having problems getting video to display 1920 x 1080 @60hz in full screen on my Sony XBR 1080p HDTV. The Mac is connected to the TV via a DVI to HDMI cable. The Mac recognizes the display as a "Sony TV"
When the Mac first starts up the entire TV screen is filled with the grey Apple startup screen, but when the Mac fully boots and gets to the desktop, the screen has shrunk so that it is slightly off the screen on the left, and has about 80% of the screen filled horizontally and about 90% vertically. I have tried all combinations of the overscan selection on the Mac and on the TV, but they make the image about 120% of the size of the screen so the top, bottom and sides are cut off.
I have tried 2 different 1080p HDTVs with the Mac Mini and get the same results for both TVs.
Now here is the thing that makes me believe that there is something funky with the Mac Mini. If I take my 2.16 GHz Macbook Pro 15" Intel Core 2 Duo and plug its DVI display port into the Same DVI to HDMI cable that is connected to the same Sony TV, it displays full screen with no problems.
What can I do to make my Mac Mini display properly?

Thanks for the ideas.
I did as you suggested, but the only 1920x1080 selection shown was one for "NTSC" which I would think is interlaced. This was after a reboot. All of available resolutions are labeled with "NTSC". When I look at the screen resolutions on my MacBook Pro when it is connected to the TV, they are labeled as "Interlaced". On both computers there are no progressive scan selections.
As an interesting note, regardless of what display resolution I select, the display area on the TV screen remains the same which is about 80% of the screen offset to the left. When "overscan" is selected, this mode enlarges to image to about 120% of the screen and cuts off the menu bar etc. However the MacBook fills about 98% of the screen in "normal" mode.
If there was a less aggressive Overscan mode or more aggressive normal mode, that would fix the issue.
Any other ideas on how to adjust this?

Hulu full-screen plays back choppily when sent to HDTV via Mind-DV to HDMI

Hi, all. I searched discussions for a solution to this to no avail. Thank you in advance for any help!
When I have my MacBook connected to my HDTV via an Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and try to watch Hulu in full-screen on the HDTV, it drops all kinds of frames and plays back very choppily. When I watch the same program on the MacBook display at full-screen, it plays back fine.
I've tried the Hulu website, as well as the Hulu Desktop app. Both yield the same result (i.e. bad).
I set the HDTV's display settings (via OS X Display Preferences) between 720, 1080i, and 1080p, respectively, to troubleshoot. Neither 1080i or 1080p plays back well at all, but the resolution is nice. When I set it to 720, it plays back a lot smoother, but the resolution is awful.
The MacBook specs are below. Any suggestions or ideas as to why this is happening?

I updated Flash player and set the OS X display settings for the HDTV to 720p, and it is acceptable now.
