Quicktime: browser or phone?

I don't know much about quicktime support.
Is there any way to get quicktime support on the S4? Is it something on the phone itself or is it a matter of browser? I'm using Chrome, so if it was browser related you'd think Chrome would have included it.
I know there are several video converters available, but I don't think that would work when you're trying to watch a video online and don't have it downloaded.
Is there any way to bring more video format support for browsing on this phone?

Have you streamed any videos? Youtube? Etc?
When you use youtube app only the app browsing is recorded by the youtube app, if you actually play a video it is recorded by android os not youtube app.
You should actually stop doing so many speed tests!

I actually figured it out. I had used that much YouTube data earlier and I uninstalled it to install a modded YouTube. The new YouTube is considered a new entry, while old YouTube became part of android os.

HD YouTube over data

Is there a mod or hack to play HD over data on the new YouTube app not the old one. Thanks

Having the same problem. Ticking the "high quality" box in settings only plays videos in HQ while on HSPA+ data. They play in HD while on WiFi, though.

T-Mobile 2 Sample Videos

briefly noticed 2 HD sample videos in the Gallery (one was scenes of Paris) before performing factory reset and now they are not there. does anybody know if they just come preinstalled with T-Mobile version and not part of the rom?

I have the Sprint version and it had 2 sample HD videos.

Android movie rentals and XDA app

Hi
Two quick questions - if I try and rent an HD movie from Google Play it says by note 4 does not support HD playback. Does it say this for other note 4 owners or has Google activated the note 4 for HD playback in some countries?
Also, how do I start a new thread using the XDA app? I can't see an option for it!
cheers

I can't be of help regarding the rental playback but which XDA app are you trying to create a thread with? Are you using the free version, the premium version or the newest alpha build?

Ah, just seen the premium app!
