Answer to original question in this thread (Is it possible) is: hdmi is NOT possible in harmattan.



Are you on drugs or something, there is no hdmi connector, there is no hdmi enabled hardware inside N9, it was decided at very early design phase that there is no business case for 720p video output thus there is no hardware in the device. N8 was 'the camera' Symbian (totally different operating system, different product family and targets to different end users), so in N8 there was case for hdmi output.

Hdmi cables are cheap, but where are you planning to plug it in, the hole where no sun ever shines?

PS. this is yet again duplicate thread, you should just go to http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79146 (Video playback epic fail: My N8 plays 1080p My N9 couldn't even play 720p). That thread is dedicated to Symbian N8 whiners who don't understand that there can be hardware differences and that some things will differ between operating systems (and not all missing hardware cannot be fixed with software).
point is that his setup doesnt have anything to do with video playback from n9 to tv

Symbian N8 whiners who don't understand...

-> I don't WANT to understand the reasons behind the hardware differences that make a N8 stand out and N9 so crippled with regard to the video playback function.

Obsolescence by design would surely come to mind.

Buy a rasberry pi for 35$ and install xbmc then oush it to that player

And you get a great device in the price

You cant say that my post has nothing to do with playing video from n9 to tv because it is excatly that. I display my video wia wifi to the tv. It just a sollution to the problem. For me atleast!

Ps: most new televisions have media player built in that can handle media getting pushed to them!

Yes some people are happy to use Windows and Mac OSX, but still there are some that want to use everything in Linux.

Linux is Obsolescence by design since I cannot run my favourite OSX video editor in Linux.

I don't WANT to understand the reasons behind the operation systems differences. I WANT to run my OSX application in Linux. I WANT, WANT, make it happen, please? pretty please?

again, why even use n9 in this setup when it is clearly more convinient to use a HDD, memory card or a flash drive

and the main thing is that you are not playing video USING n9
i think people want to play video with n9 and not just from n9 because then i can use a regular HDD with larger capacity and lower price

When you edit a post don't just add a reason for an edit but not actually edit the post, It doesn't make sense. Either strike out the "Lumia has hdmi function" part of the post or delete that part entirely.

To strikethrough use
[ strike ] Your text [ / strike ]
without spaces

This text is striked out

its is like playing it from n9. Browse the video on your n9 longpress then choose share and push to device.! Dont even have to touch the media player connected to tv.

Once again I'm only letting you know of other possibilites because there are NO hdmi on the n9 and there will never be one. Better to find other ways to play your videos to your tv!

Hardware keyboard, Video projector, HDMI, USB OTG, memory card slot, dual SIM etc Why not in N9 ? Every product is result of lot of compromises . Having all possible features makes product big ugly expensive clumsy batteryhungry monster that no-one actually wants to have.

In N9 superior industrial design and user experience got priority over many rarely used features.

I am type of person that would like to have all fancy features but them in real life do I use them ? As example in technical sense PAL/NTSC composite video out is history from time of analog transmissions and tube television. How many of N9 does even have such a thing any more ? I know that composite video out quality is really poor because it is analog tube TV quality and I don't see much of use for it, may be just demo on programming classroom. That's all true but would I use HDMI if I would have it ? I have couple of tablets, iPad and Android, they have Hdmi but I just have never used it.

It is just much easier to invent all kind of features that in real life are rarely used.
