[Q] Video Player Aspect Ratio

Hi all,
I picked up my Galaxy on Monday although I haven't really had a proper play with it yet as i'm waiting for screen protector and case first
Anyway, one thing I did try out was playing some films. Depending on the resolution of the film some of them look perfect whilst the others looked squeezed together. I remember seeing something similar on the HTC Desire when I tried it out but it had the option to adjust the ratio and make do with top and bottom borders instead.
Is this possible with the Galaxy video player as I can't seem to find an option to change the ratio?
Thanks,
Dazz

When you are playing a file... bring up the play/pause menu by tapping the screen... you'll see a box in the right hand bottom corner of the play bar... tap it to cycle the aspect ratios.

Thanks crabby thats great, I thought it was the stop button

[Q] Youtube application...

Two questions about it on the Streak.
1. When a vidoe pops up, hitting the menu button gives you an option of viewing the video in HD. Anyway to make this default (so all are viewed in HD automatically)?
2. The videos are not full screen, but I see no option to make it this way? Is there a way to automatically view them "full screen"? I mean, we have a 5" screen, need to capitalize...lol

[Q] picture quality

hi i currently using the android 2.3.2 my question is.....
when was using windows 6.5 i could watch you tube videos in full screen and high quality,now using android 2.3.2 and you tube videos will not open in full an are poor quality although bbc iplayer plays full screen and high quality.
is this a problem for everyone using android on there htc hd2 or is it just me missing something?

I am using HyperdroidGBX v5 which is 2.3.2 though could be cooked differently than whatever you are using. I use the Youtube app v 2.1.6 for to access my youtubes. When in the app hit the middle hard button and select "settings". The first setting is "High quality on mobile", this should be checked to get HQ videos. To get the video in full screen just double tap it or turn your phone on its side. When in full screen you should see a button in the upper right corner of the video that sais HQ. The green light under it should be on if it is HQ and you can press the button to toggle between HQ and SQ.
Anyway, that is how it works for me.

thanks its now in hd still not full screen though iv been in the settings and theres nothing there to set screen size,ive got about 1cm of a black line either side the playing video when in full screen.

Can't use 720p after moving to CM7?

I am on nightly 12 and everything is awesome! But when I record something on the 720p setting, when I watch the actual video in the gallery, it's a blue screen and I see a hairline portion of the video up top. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
thanks for any input!

If you recorded the video with the phone in landscape, turn the phone sideways so its plays back in landscape and it will play correctly. Similarly, if you recorded in portrait, hold the phone in portrait orientation.
This is a known bug in CM7. It happens when you record a video in landscape and try to playback with the screen in portrait orientation, or vice versa (record in portrait and try to playback in landscape). The videos will play fine on other devices, such as a PC.

Ahh! I see.
The weird part was that when I recorded in landscape and watched it in landscape, it still wouldn't work. Maybe it's because I set it up so that my screen doesn't always switch orientation.
Thanks again!
Also, do you know anything about getting better picture quality when messing around with the camera settings?

[Q] [ISSUE] softkeys doesn't hide correctly during video streaming

Hi all as I said in the title, when i stream a video in the browser (not chrome) and i tap the fullscreen button in landscape mode the softkeys hide and appear continuously, doesn't matter if i'm on youtube, facebook or another site.
i made a video to explain better the situation:
sorry for the quality, i record it with my old phone but the issue is visible.
The same thing happens to someone?
is there a solution?
EDIT: forgot to tell that i'm on the stock google 4.2.2 no root, no unlock, no custom kernel.
and yes I've searched on google but i found nothing.

Maybe because it's a video watched from your browser, so whenever you're reading text, looking at a picture or watching a video, soft keys will appear.
What's your current browser ?
Did you try with another browser ?

eydesy inflam
currently i use dolphin, but the same was with boat browser.
this happens when i hit the fullscreen button so the text is not visible, i don't think that is because of it.
can u try to stream a video with dolphin on youtube or somewhere in landscape and in fullscreen?
that happens u too?

I tried, and when I hit the full screen button it actually shows the soft keys. But when I hit wherever on the screen again the soft keys disappear. Do you hit again the screen after your video is played in full screen mode ?

nop i click fullscreen button and nothing more. but if i click on the video nothing changes, still loop of hide and show.
EDIT: new info the issue not happen when i stream 4:3 videos but only when the video fits all the screen (16:9 videos)

Could you please provide the video link so that we can test?

http : / / youtu.be/IgeTCK8UIgo
remove the spaces from the url, but on youtube u can find a lot of 16:9 videos and the issue appear the same

there is a bug in Youtube too, if you play a video and do nothing, softkeys are hiding but if you touch the screen, grey button remplace the Home Back and Recents keys and its not hiding

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, you're not the only one ! I suggest you to watch videos from the YouTube app.

thx, possible that nobody noticed that?? :silly:
