I'm unsure what quality YouTube is playing at in default but its much too high for my internet speed at my current location. On my computer I play at 480p which is fine. I have a feeling that the Nexus 7 is trying to play it at 720 or 1080 because it takes forever to load anything.
Anything I can do about this? I couldn't find a setting to change it.
Don't think so. Only way I've been able to get HQ or low quality was to share connection with my phone via Bluetooth. basically any connection that wasn't WiFi.

When playing a YouTube video in landscape view lower left hand corner will give you an idea of the resolution. HD will be in 720p HQ is 480p and if it is unchecked it drops down the next lower resolution. If it is showing HD unchecking it should drop you down to 480p.

OK I took a 3 minute video of the kids in hd mode then connected to the tv and during playback the sound was well out of sync anyone else had these problems :-(

I just received this Galaxy Note and noticed that on youtube video playback, the HQ playback on various vids look grainy and somewhat pixelated. My friend has a Nexus and the same playback looks really clear. I've always heard great things about the Note's screen so I'm really surprised and disappointed. This is noticeable on different brightness levels. Can anyone suggest what I can do to determine if my screen has issues or if there is some setting I have to tweak?
You need to update your YouTube app as the default doesn't use hd, just hq. Also HD only works over wifi.

Thanks bud, updating the app worked.
HQ=480p. Obviously when you compare it to true HD, the HD will look better...

I hope you don't have the black clipping issue that is widespread on dark videos. By your're description of pixellation, it sounds like you might... :-(

I just got my note and it's showing the black clipping issues that are described here.... should I return my not and try to get one that doesn't have this issue?

As soon as you can, yes. Some units play almost unwatchable videos. Better units r out there

I'm using cm10.1 and this is expected, but after searching for a while, I couldn't find anyone taking about this. When I use video recording, it won't record. The red circle won't turn into a square. And no video is recorded. Anyone here having this problem?

Is there a custom ROM that gives us control of the HDMI ? For example resolution settings, settings for 1080, 720, 480 i or p, a presentation mode not just mirror what's on the tablet.
Thanks

Resolution can be changed (on both the tablet and over HDMI at the same time) via a root command.
Check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300248
As for presentation settings, I'm not sure.
With this app you can resize the screen easily. Requires root access:

Agree. Changing resolution doesn't change the HDMI negotiations with the TV. I also have similar problem and would love to be able to force the HDMI signal so it doesn't auto negotiate. Doesn't work on my bedroom TV where I need hdmi the most

Hi there,
I recently purchased a Nexus 4 following the price drop and generally speaking I'm very happy with it. I do however have one issue. When playing HD YouTube videos, there appear to be dropped frames every 5 seconds or so. This gives videos a somewhat jerky appearance and is particularly noticeable in clips involving slow panning. I did not expect this from a phone with a quad core processor. The video buffers fine and there is no apparent lag in other areas of the OS.
I am running stock Android 4.3. The phone is not rooted.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Quad core doesn't really have much to do with video playback smoothness. It may be thermal throttle. If the phone is getting hot, it might be lowering clock speed to keep the temperature safe. See if you get the same behavior on a cold morning, or with other video playing apps.

Thanks for responding. I've just tried the DailyMotion app and it is noticeably better. I'll also try YouTube tomorrow morning as per your suggestion. I do use a case with Perspex on the back. Could this affect heat dissipation?

Any case potentially could, though I use a pretty sturdy one and don't experience YouTube stutters. Are you running the latest YouTube version?

Yes I am. To be honest, the stuttering is pretty subtle but its one of those irritating things that you can't forget after you first see it.

I've noticed stutters on YouTube when the screen is tapped to bring up the buttons, when watching in HD.
