Movies full screen after update - EVO 4G General

Anyone else notice that movies are playing in full screen after the update. I really disliked that there wasn't a full screen option in videos. I used rockplayer to make it fullscresn but now there's no need. Another lol thing that came in the update that I like a lot

Personally, I prefer mVideoPlayer. It lets you either fill the screen entirely or to the aspect ratio. It also has support for captions and it remembers the brightness you set while watching videos.

Cool. I'll check that one out. I'm down to try all of them to see what works best for me

All you had to do was place your finger over the video playback.....n a pop up promps you if you want to play the video (any video from any where) in full screen. This option was there from day one

Video Format?

Hey everyone, I want to get some TV episodes on my phone. How should I format the video? I know H.264 or whatever, but what size and is there anything else I should do?
Thanks
Just use arcmedia and not bother with conversions. It plays all the episodes I've grabbed from the internet.
Even the media center on the phone will play avi's sometime it'll mess up but for the most part works find... arcmedia has always worked flawless for me

Yeah but I want to reduce file size ... No need to put a 500MB episode on my phone. I guess I should just reduce it to the resolution of the screen eh?
Yeah match the screen resolution to save cpu. For longer battery life make the res even lower. It isn't that bad really.

[FYI] 720p HD Recording Test

Figured with all the snow we got, and salt on my car it was time to get it washed.
So i tested my Atrix Recording out with 720p.
Its the whole car wash, so if you dont want to watch/listen you get the idea of how clear and awesome it is, give it, to atleast 1:55 seconds
Atrix Video Recording Test Make sure to change it to 720p, It Matters!
Regards,
Killster
that there is nice Awesome in 720 just not a big Motorola fan lol
That background music was great...well, at least until 1:55!
Who's the artist?

got same message here also. Tried to watch it on my iPad. But I was able to watch other Atrix 4g 720p test videos and quality is great. Looks even better playing on my IPad IPS screen.

720p videos in Youtube app

Hi,is there a way to stream 720p (instead of HQ which is 540p i guess) in youtube app?
The only way i tried is by browser,it's ok but it's difficoult to touch the commands...
I was looking for a third parties app or an hack of the original app

In short, at this time, no.
Just use the browser to watch 720p YouTube. The hardware acceleration works flawlessly and it runs silky smooth!
Tip: you have trouble hitting the full screen button on the lower right of the video, just long-press once the video loads up, and an overlay should appear which lets you full-screen easier.
Even if I use the browser I get that ridiculously crappy 360p, it just loads m.youtube.com and I can't leave it.
What am I doing wrong? Only way I've ever watched 720p youtube have been embedded videos. The difference is not even funny, how come there's no third party app for this? It's insane.
You have two choices. One is download an app call JetVD, you can google it and download it right fron your phone. The next option is download a browser like Dolphin Browser from the google market and select it to render websites as it would if you were browsing on a desktop. Both ways will net you 720p but the Dolphin Browser will get you 1080p if you care for it lol

JetVD is not on market.
I normally use Tubemate to watch or download youtube video.
you can choose 360-1080p video to watch and also can download them which is awesome for me. Tubemate is available on market or you can google it.

No it isn't it was pulled from market sometime ago but you can still download the app. http://www.jetvd.com/ you have to use your phone to download it.
I use tubemate , its great, can stream hd videos and also have an option to download the video, only downside is I found the ui quite ugly

Probably it is frowned upon for downloading youtube videos, i had a rom once that had an in youtube download option and the dev several times got a youtube email stating they would like him to use the stock one.
On the url place of the browser type ABOUT:USERAGENT then on the menu that comes choose desktop now go to every page and it shown as it would be on your home pc

[Q] HD on the Youtube app?

Hey. I'm new here Thought i'd see if you guys could answer a question for me.
I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what the resolution of videos playing in the nexus 10 youtube app are? I haven't actually got my nexus yet, but I imagine it's the same as my S3, where the player only has a "SD" and "HD" option.
Is the HD just equivilent to 720p? Or will it choose the highest possible resolution for the video? I'm asking this because watching youtube videos in 1080p would be really nice
Thanks!
I am curious too since it does not lt you select.
Pretty sure it's 720p on the app for HD.
I'll do a test when I get home later.
I've been wondering that too
Youtube app will render videos to Hd720p. If you want full 1080p you'll have to use the browser.

Thanks for the replies.
That's annoying Would be nice if google could update the app for tablets so we can view 1080p videos without having to use the browser.
Google should update the app and give you the option because the browser page is not good in my opinion slow laggy and hard to use with a touch screen.
Why make a Google product and then hinder it with low quality video stream. Honestly its one thing that annoys me with with his tablet how soft videos look from the YouTube app. It does not do this amazing tablet justice , lucky I have nice images to look at lol

Yup, 720p only.
Your right! I did not know that. Google does own youtube since 2005 from what I read.

Its not Google that needs to update, it's YouTube. Google isnt responsible for apps not made by them.
Youtube just needs to start jumping on the band wagon and start supporting higher res streaming.

If google says jump, youtube says how high. They are their subsidiary.
With the Nexus 10 and its supreme display resolution I guess we can expect an update to the YouTube app pretty soon. I expect a 1080p option.
Yes, 1600p would be nice but don't forget at this resolution/bitrate many people won't be able to stream it anymore, at least not in an acceptable time frame.

How many people are tethering often enough to worry about that? I have a first batch Nexus 10, and I've always just used it on Wi-Fi.

It was a sarcastic question hence the face. Thanks for joining in on the conversation.
Nexus 10 doesn't come with radio for data hence me asking as if his Nexus 10 did.
I hope this explanation clears things up for you so you aren't confused by sarcasm.
Yeah it would be nice if they updated the app, but I suppose 720p isn't too bad on a 10 inch screen anyway.
Youtube only supports up to 2048x1536 at the moment anyway. Hopfully 1600p youtube will come eventually
Youtube 720p looks surprisingly good on the N10 to me. If they add a 1080p option I definitely hope 720p is still selectable.

Well, let me answer with some numbers:
I have a really high quality video on my N10 (the Timescape Trailer), it's 1440p and 33.5 mbit/sec worth of data.
Even with high compression a 1600p video would be like 10-20 mbit/sec or around 40 mbit/sec in very high quality.

YouTube Version 10.05.6 enables 1440p playback

Just to let everyone know. I got an updated YouTube today dated version. 10.05.6 and with any mods it has 1440p video available.
If anyone needs the app let me know.

Does the video you tried to watch support 1440p? Search for "2k demo video" or something and see if 1440p is available when you watch one of those.
I did not do anything special it just played search 4k video test you will find a couple great test videos.

There's a certain process to follow. Look for it in apps and themes. It's posted there.

I got it fixed. All i did was install the app and clear the data and it started working. Nothing extra. Nice jump in quality since i was only able to see videos in 720p before.

Should be by now. It wasn't when the OP was made. I hade it before apk mirror too.
However the OP was to inform people they did not need to do the build prop edit anymore to get the 2k viewing.

New app updated from Google Play worked for me. But it wont work right off the bat. You have to force close app, go to the app settings and clear cache and data. Restarted YouTube and voila! Haven't had 1440p enabled in quite a bit
Anyone Know how to keep video quality at the highest? seems to change between videos. Nothing is settings.
Depends on the resolution the video was uploaded with. Some videos are low resolution, some are high. So you have to check each one. YouTube also streams in a lower resolution to get the video to the viewer quicker. Not everyone has fast enough Internet to stream 4k videos without buffering issues.
