[Q] Too many pixels ?!?!

Hello ! i'm new here and new to using the note 10.1 (jst bought it over the weekend). Not planning to root jst yet, but anyways ... My question/concern is ... When i watch a "1080p" video on youtube, the quality of the video is really crappy on the note. Is it because it has 2560x1600 pixels ? Is there a way to make it look better ? I tried searching online but there aren't many things on this new tablet. Thanks in advance !

Are you sure you're watching 1080 videos and YouTube is playing them in HD mode? No such think as too many pixels

Yes sir ! When i do a full screen view, the graphics are very blurry for some reason. And my internet connection is too awesome for it to be that. (although i could be wrong). Could it be because it stretches out to a much larger amount of pixels ? Does this happen to you?

Try using this app, with it you can choose the different resolutions offered for each specific video. Watch the same video you are watching using the 1080p resolution and check if it looks the same as in the official youtube app, if its better then the Youtube app sucks xD

I think The YouTube app supports only 720p.

How does it look in non-youtube apps? I haven't actually used youtube, but netflix HD looks awesome. I don't think the screen resolution is the problem.

That app allows resolutions up to 720p but no 1080p

Yeah sorry about that its up to 720p, either way it should look a lot better than what he is experiencing, worth a try.

Does someone know why Google removed the 1080p option from the youtube app. I remember watching real 1080p videos on older devices :/

I have a similar question but it relates to Netflix, not Youtube.
Does anyone else have the Netflix app? Supposedly Netflix streams in 1080p HD as long as you have 4.3 or higher. Streaming some shows, they don't really look like its in FHD on this and I'm wondering if it's because the screen resolution is higher than 1080p?

Happens to me now and again way i fix it is to go into application manager and force close it, then clear all the RAM. Normally fixes the pixel your talking about.
Its something wrong with the youtube app I dont think ots configured correctly for our device or something because this bug has been reported by a few people and I experience it quite often along with other bugs such as videos not loading and keep buffering. I always have to close the apl fully to fix these issues.

I'm bought 2 note 10.1 and both face this same problem of YouTube playback stuttering, despite the video has fully buffered and my connection is very strong. I've talked to Samsung service centre personnel who did a firmware refresh but problem is not resolved. They suggest me to wait for YouTube app to update or Samsung release a firmware update.

Do we are able to record in 720p @ 60fps on Galaxy S4 I9505 ?

We all know the Galaxy S4 I9505 record in 1080p and 720p at 30 fps with the official Camera,
i'm wondering if ther's an app allowing a record in 720p @ 60fps ??
Thanks

720p @ 60fps
No one have an idea ? :crying:

Tried searching as well....
QUOTE=mastergoldroger;51686160]No one have an idea ? :crying:[/QUOTE]
I honestly feel your pain, I am currently searching for an app or A Tweak that will let me remove the 30 frames per second cap, with no luck. Let me know if you find a way..and vicer versa...

I have been searching for a while too.
Just curious, would a custom ROM like cyanogenmod be able to make the s4 i9505 record at 60fps 720p? Or maybe an s6 port that doesn't have the limit?

[Q] Can S4 (i9505) record in 720p60fps?

Can S4 (i9505) record in 720p60fps?

So, I suppose not

I think google would be more helpful here. Anyway, I sometimes record my guitar playing using the front camera at 720 and it doesn't seem like it's 60fps

In google you can find info about 1080p60 before release of SGS IV what didn't be true, but i thought if not 1080p60 maybe it can record in 720p60, as many devices have (for example older gopros)

BS Player says its [email protected] fps recorded with the front camera

Hi All,
Generally new phones come with a video from the manufacturer installed on it to showcase the display.
My Note 4 doesn't seem to have this though and neither does my wife's.
Does anyone else have the showcase video from Samsung on their note 4? What video is it?
Would someone be so kind as to upload it somewhere?
Thanks

Why would you need their video, get a 2k or 4k video from the net, download it and that's it.

Yeah I don't have any video too, but you can watch/ download a video from youtube, for example Marques Brownlee records at 4k, so you can download or watch the 2k (1440p) version of any video.

Here are the Samsung Demo vids found pre-installed on the display units in stores. Link
The ones found on Youtube are great but they're highly compressed. These ones will really show off that screen!
Enjoy!

[HDR VIDEOS] 4k HDR videos from Samsung, LG, Sony and BBC Planet Earth.

Hello.
I'm not the person who have originally written this, but i'm gonna copy and paste it from the Galaxy S8 / S8+ section on Reddit where i found this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everybody,
Here is my collection of 4K HDR videos, all working on the S8. There are 13 videos with a variety of demo material from Samsung, LG, Sony, and BBC Planet Earth.
These videos only work in HDR with the "Samsung Video Library" player (available from Play Store). This will NOT work with any other video player (MX Player, VLC etc.)
For some reason, the video player only plays in HDR when the file is in .mp4 format, and not with .mkv. This is the reason why all the demo footage online doesn't work, most of it is in .mkv format.
If you have your own HDR footage, you have to change the container from mkv to mp4 using ffmpeg before you can play it on the S8.
Make sure to increase brightness to 100% and set screen mode to "Amoled Cinema" for the best viewing experience.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the source for that: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/6hc534/galaxy_s8_4k_hdr_videos/ (the post was deleted for some reasons).
Watching those videos, specially the 'LG_Cymatic_Jazz_HDR10.mp4' video made my jaw drop to the floor when i was watching that with the screen brightness on 100%.
WARNING: Once you have seen HDR videos on your Galaxy S8 / S8+ phone, you will never go back to another phone without HDR and Super AMOLED screen.
Enjoy.
EDIT: I added a new MEGA link with all of the videos in one link from my own MEGA account.

hi, do you know why when i move any video from the original download carpet it doesnt play as hdr anymore? happens with all videos, if i move them back to the download carpet they play as hdr again.

Hmm, weird. I have those videos placed in my own folder somewhere on the internal storage. But they are still being played with HDR for me when I opens the HDR videos with the 'Video' app from Samsung.

Yeah. I just tried to make 2 new folders and then move the videos into the folder that is 2 folders deeper from where they was. It's still working fine for me.

Thanks for changing to mp4.
I just notice once you rename the video then the HDR will not work. HDR is there once I change back to original name.

Now it wasn't me that changed those videos to .mp4. It was the guy from the source who did it.
And also. I just tried to rename one of my HDR videos and then run that video in the 'Video' app from Samsung. HDR was still working fine here.

No idea, I got one video change name then it not playing in HDR, but after I change back it play.
Anyway I not plan to change name already, as long it play is fine.
By the way I play using Samsung Standalone Video app which need separate download at Samsung Galaxy Apps.

Very nice.

Oh, look what did pop up at SamMobile's page earlier: https://www.sammobile.com/2017/06/1...t-hdr-videos-on-your-galaxy-s8-s8-and-tab-s3/
And look at that 'VIA' link at the end of the article on where it goes :laugh:. Yes, it's linked to my thread here.

You can watch the videos with no problems, but you wont be able to see them with HDR on those phones as they don't support it.

All i can is is WOW, makes my 4K Samsung TV seem very poor, look dynamics and colour really do surprise you and your eyes panic and adjust.

On what phone do you get that?

The HDR effect looks nice, but there is also a lot of vignetting/color banding (especially noticable on the Planet Earth clip with the small lizard). Looks way better on my LG OLED anyways.... But could be sloppy reencode job...

Ok, i don't have a Galaxy S6 or S7 here now, so i can't test to confirm this though.
Can someone else with access to a Galaxy S6 or S7 test some of those videos out on those phones to see if they works, or if they only works on devices who support HDR?

As you know it is being reproduced in HDR and not just good quality? Is there any symbol indicating that it is playing in HDR?

Might sound like a dumb question, but how do I confirm HDR is active? Have the S8+ and played these videos using the Samsung Video app (after setting display to max brightness and AMOLED Cinema). They do look nice, but I was not blown away. Perhaps HDR was not active?
