Thought about doing a complete reset, buuuuuuttttt...

I realize most are probably tired of hearing about this, but here is more confusing info. This test was done with the Note 8 and a mixture of ~20 movies downloaded and played within the Prime Video app (some of the same movies previously tested, with a few new ones added). BTW, so far I have...

LOL! Funny you should suggest that! My son has the S10+, and after we discovered it would play the movies just fine, he started talking about updating his phone and donating the S10+ to the movie "cause"!

I'll try to remember to check it (not sure I know where to look tho!), or at least get the M/N so I can check if something came preinstalled. Hopefully tonight, I plan on testing the HDMI cable dongle with the Note 8 on that TV. I know it mirrors the problem movies fine. Same here, I just...

And another, just tried the HDMI cable transfer (with Choetech adapter) connected directly to an HDMI input on a low level 55" (semi-) SmartTV Samsung TV purchased at Sam's Club probably 6 or 7 years ago, (not even sure about the model number). Still no video on "some" Prime movies. This result...

Just tried the HDMI cable transfer (with Choetech adapter) connected directly to a old LG 55LX9500 TV HDMI port (bought this TV some time around 2010). Still no video on "some" Prime movies. I did not find anything about screen mirroring/casting in a search of the manual for the LG TV...

Well, It appears I may be losing this battle. Still not sure if its the Note 8, or 75" TV causing the video blackout, or something strictly to do with the Prime Video app. TV indicates it is up to date, Note 8 indicates it is up to date, Prime Video app was just reinstalled on Sunday. Problem...

Here's my odd part, the same Note 8 mirrors the "Amazon Original" movies to a different Samsung TV (85") just fine. Makes me think maybe my 75" Samsung TV is where the problem is. But the same "Original" movie will play from the TV Prime Video app (streaming) embedded on the 75" just fine. Since...

I just deleted and reinstalled the Prime Video app yesterday. Grabbed two fresh movies, one labeled Amazon Original, the other not. Same results, the one labeled "Original" gives black screen, the other plays fine.

Oh yea, I just installed the "Smart Things" you mentioned, as I did not see it in my apps listed earlier. I will test it shortly, I noticed my TV was not currently online, working on that to ensure it does not have an effect.

Anywho, there is not a Smart View "uninstall" option, even the "Disable" option is grayed out. I did Force stop it and clear the data and cache. I'll give it a test.

No Miracast, but I did find Smart View. Only thing that seems off with targeting Smart View or Miracast is, I have the same issue when I try to view the movies over HDMI cable, which "should" have nothing to do with the Smart View/Miracast screen mirroring app.

Having issue with my Note 8 not casting the video component of "some" Amazon Prime Video movies to my TV. (See thread for detailed explanation, https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8/1028284-issue-samsung-note-8-not-mirroring-video-some-prime-video-movies.html#post6963907 )...

They said the movies file formats are the same. Went on to say the problem appears to be with the Smart View/Miracast app on the Note 8 (something I suspected). Now I just have to figure out how to update or totally reinstall that app on the phone. I looked earlier and it did not appear to be...

I started to, but then with the S10+ mirroring all Prime movies fine, and the Note 8 mirroring all Prime movies fine to a different TV, evidence started mounting that it may be an issue with either my TV, or the Note 8, I hesitated. I think the only thing I might possibly learn is about the...
