So I've noticed that Hulu lags when streaming on high quality on this phone which never happened on my previous Note 2. The audio is fine but the video is sort of choppy. When I change it to medium quality it streams just fine but the picture quality is degraded. On my other apps video and audio quality are excellent. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this and if so have you found a fix for it?

Just tested this and the framerate does drop on the high setting. You need to report this to Hulu. They'll need to fix this.
Netflix is streaming just fine, even using 2 devices to watch content at the same time.

Thanks, That was the word I was looking for "framerate". I just emailed them hopefully they will be able to resolve this problem soon.

Thanks for the heads up... Wouldn't be surprised if this is fixed by their next update.

I tried to watch this video last night using coreplayer 1.2.2. Unfortunately it can only work under RTSP(low quality), it barely worked with RTSP(medium quality). And under high quality, it was like slide show with 70% missing pics.
I then tried it on my 1 year old n95, it worked perfectly with high quality video.
I thought the video quality issue was solved using coreplayer 1.2.2. Did I miss any settings? Pls help, thanks

I see dropped frames on YouTube on my 3GHz PC too, so this is not hardware limitataion, could be streaming error.
Coreplayer is being developed, a new version is said to have the hardware acceleration for Qualcomm chipset, we just have to wait
But those movies on youtube are ok, on PC no error, streaming ok
to the coreplayer, on my old FSC N560 the same movie gets about 3mbps in bench. in high quality, on Xperia it gets about 2mbps on medium quality
Now i tryied on N560 some MKV video with 5mbit datarate, it is quite slow, but watchable on medium quality, on xperia not at all...

change settings to h.264 medium quality for youtube movies. the playback is great. I just experience the problem at the end of the movie when it trys to reload and that crashes my phone. I have to take the battery out. Try it, it might work for you.
OK, and what to set in Zenyee's YouTube? Because there i have the same problem

I don't know because I could never get it to work properly (to be honest I do not even know what to install and what not - i am having problems with landscape mode). You really should try the coreplayer settings. apparently what i am experiencing is not a common bug, perhaps i have something installed or sth, will have to do a hard reset when i have more time and try again.
Settings in CorePlayer offcourse hepled, thanx a lot for that...Now it will be nice if some CorePanel is lol...

My old Mio558 plays HDTV videos watchable too, the X1 is the one that's missing hardware accelerating support in Coreplayer (and other players)
We'll see what comes with new CorePlayer...

Hi All,
I have noticed a disturbing trend on my new Note 3. The streaming video playback is pretty terrible with just about everything except youtube. Has anyone else experienced this or do I likely have a bad unit? Thanks.

This is sort of expected behavior as apps need to be updated to utilize the Note 3's hardware decoder otherwise it has to be decoded in software which is slower and more battery consuming. What apps and what codec is the video encoded in?
Hmmm it seems strange that poor web video playback would be expected on a device targeted toward video consumers. I have encountered this with every streaming video I have tried to play in both Chrome and the built-in browser, with the exception of Youtube videos.
Have you tired Dice Player? Watching Pacific Rim 1080p right now
Only choppy video is from YouTube. I downloaded a few 1080p movies and trailers and they run flawlessly. So I'm assuming it's the youtube app needing to be updated as well as what exothermic video apps. Mx player works fine as well as the stock player

For whatever reason when I playback a slow motion video recorded in 120 FPS by my Nexus 6P, the normal parts of the video that aren't slowed down, are sped up and have a chipmunk sound to them. I'm not sure what causes that. Has anyone run into the same issue?
I have the same issue and it is driving me nuts! Doesn't happen in 240 playback. And seems to be an issue with Google photos.
I can slow it down with MX player, but the audio is still too slow.
Looks like your phone has a chipmunk in it. I would give a call to Google to process an RMA.
I kid. Anyway, I just test it at 120fps and the sound is fine at normal speed; it slows down when in slow motion.

@badboy47 what version of Google photos are you on, are you playing it through photos?

This article says to power off, then on your phone. That seems to have temporarily fixed the issue for me. The issue is with the camera app I am pretty sure because I tried other players and none could change the speed to normal.

See screens below.
Has anyone else noticed this? While watching a 1440p video on youtube, after a minute or two, it will start dropping frames like crazy. Sometimes the video will stop entirely (audio still plays). I've noticed this on MKBHD and Linus Tech Tips channels. If I set the quality to 1080p (or anything lower) manually, it plays just fine. It's not a buffering issue, because the audio still plays. It seems like the phone is trying to reduce the cpu and youtube isn't capable of playing 1440p video with the reduced cpu. It never happens at the beginning of a video. I didn't have this problem on my V10, ever.
Can you give links to exact videos? I just tested on this on
https://youtu.be/hddwAIXbKZo
Looked amazing. Ran in 1440 with zero issues.
This was happening to me as well. SD820 variant. On WiFi. A restart seems to have fixed the problem...for now...hopefully.
Exynos will breeze through this. SD fail.

Okay I can see what you're talking about now. I just watch this video. Its default was like 720. I changed it to 1440 and it froze. Sound continues video stops. I minimize the video and closed it then reopened it it stayed 1440 and ran fine.
https://youtu.be/RCgPD2sfbAQ
Not sure what's causing it but I can definitely see the problem. I don't want to have to close and reopen a video to get it to play properly.
These are two of the ones I remember it happening on:

That video may not be long enough... it happens after a minute or two on my phone, and that video is only 1:45 long.
This 1440p issue happens on my LG G4 as well. I'm getting my Exynos S7 Edge on Friday

Just watched both of those on 1440p, no glitches at all. YouTube 1440 vids have been smooth as butter since my restart.

Happens on my V10... there are multiple threads in the V10 forums about the issue.
Are you guy's by any chance using T-Mobile? I know with their Binge On feature, they try to reduce and limit overall quality of any video feed not set up with the Binge On program. YouTube is not set up with it.
I get extremely choppy and dropped frames on 1440p. Also no 60fps option at all something is definitely wrong. My s6 edge was able to play 1440p 60fps with no issues at all.

I'm on T-Mobile, but in my case, it is not related to BingeOn. I have BingeOn disabled, and this was on WiFi. As I said in the original post, it isn't a buffering issue because the audio keeps going. Also, as others have noticed, if you minimize it and come back, the video will go for a little bit and then stop again.
https://youtu.be/iNJdPyoqt8U
Tested this ^^ and worked fine for me..I don't have any 60fps option though but it seems it plays the 60fps on the highest setting any way, just don't mention it .
Anyone try uninstalling YouTube updates and going back to the version that shipped with the phone? Since it's happening with other phones it could just be an app bug introduced with the latest update.
All videos play perfectly on my Exynos gs7 edge at 1440p
Envoyé de mon SM-G935F en utilisant Tapatalk
Definitely a Youtube issue as it's happening on too many different devices. I noticed it on my wife s6 edge + but not yet on my s7 edge.
All 1440p fine on exynos
useless reply, but I followed the link for the "2K" video sample (couple minutes long) and that played without issue via the YouTube app.
After that there was a link for a 4K Video Beauty of Nature video (about 31 minutes long) and THAT locked up after a few minutes of playback. (addendum: I'm a sucker for good Nature, but holy crap is that a pretty video.)
AT&T GS7E, all current updates, playing over mobile data. SpeedTest.net reports > 50Mb/s downstream at my location so bandwidth is probably not a factor.
Firefox plays the video without issue it seems, 13 minutes in without issue. Of course I can't be sure it's playing a 1440p stream, but it looks the same to my old eyes. :^(
I've played all Youtube videos linked and have no issues. Tried many thers via the Youtube app a7 1080p and 1440p and found no issues on my Exynos S7E
