When watching movie trailers from all three movie apps, Movies, Moviefone, and IMDB. All looks fuzzy. Moviefone will let you pick HD and it defaults to that but it just looks like standard def.
Am I missing something in setting ?
Help please
At the bottom of the product page on Acer's US site is fine print saying that 1080P playback is coming in an update by June of this year. You didn't state the resolution, and I don't know if it's exactly the issue you're having though.
Thanks, but is that 1080p output to tv or better playback for videos. We have have 720p, right. It still looks bad. Try it, play a movie trailer from one of those sites, when the green movie trailer logo come up it is fuzzy bad.
Anyone one else wanna help answer this. Watch a movie trailer and tell me what you think.
Are we getting HD playback or not in 720p. Also does it record in 720p HD
Thanks
I've played my own videos on hd on the tablet, an they play an look great.
As for the "movie apps, " if those videos aren't playing in hd, that would be something to ask them about.

I watched a couple trailers on Moviefone, and they are not in hd. The application doesn't say anywhere (that I can see) that the trailers are supposed to be in high definition. There is a high quality setting, but no high definition.

Thanks, you are right, it says HQ, anyway i was comparing it to my brothers ipad2 and his looked crystal clear on all settings and he could chose between standard, 720p and 1080p.
Is this update coming in June for 1080p playback on the Tab or output to the TV?

Acer said in Q2 of this year (May to August) for an update that will allow 1080p playback on both the Tab and when going to a TV.
Guys, After Google I/O I am starting to think that the update in June Acer is talking about is Honeycomb 3.1.
Ideas?
The gate is not Acer, but is Nvidia. Nvidia needs to farm out codec package support to Archos. Archos may screw up awful on their tablet specs, but they have GREAT codec support in their devices.
I still do not see much value in 1080p, since drains battery and takes up tons of space. Not to mention our tablet is "800p", so 1080p is overkill.
If referring to outputting to a 1080p display and perhaps as a media center, NOW I see the point.
I have posted on another thread that I have tried playing back a 720p movie with huge lags. I think this should clear with the next update.
I justried to play full HD videos through my pendrive......the default video player says file cannot be played and when I try to play through mobo player the audio and video is out of sync....I thought this tab plays full HD videos.....guys some advice!!
AFAIK it doesn't. 3.1 should have Full HD support but 3.0.1 doesn't have it.
I could be wrong though.
3.1 as far as we know will not play 1080p videos only output them via HDMI.
Currently only 720p can be played.
I hope im wrong about the first thing.
But in the tabs config it was written that it plays full hd videos!
And even xoom plays full hd vids!

did u try a player like Mobo?
FullHD 1080p wmv works and probably the same with some mkv's but audio will not ... it will just scale the video to 720p..
you can try mkv's with "Astro filemanager" -> Open As -> video
and the mkv will play, if not already loaded automatically..
this also works for other formats..

Why doesn't it work for mp4??
I am asking this becoz when I play a 720p video on my tv thru hdmi....it really sucks!
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
i would expect 1080p MP4 recordings working too, if you got 720p working.
but it probably all depends on encoding..

why want read 1080p...
don't take it bad, but, you should post a unique post "Vari9 Questions / FAQ"
and we stick it "D
so far Acer says 1080p video-out will be supported in a Q2 update
and unless it's hardware supported, I doubt the video will render smoothly....

Hehe.....I wanted my tab to read 1080p coz I have my music videos and movies all in full hd....converting them all would be a pain in the neck......plus even mobile phones with a screen size of 4.0 inch can play full hd videos!

it's kind of overload the works of your tablet...
tablet have to convert and downscale anyway to render the video... since 1080 > 800
you should convert, it's the best things and that will save in a way the battery....
I just say.
Rock player for tegra and a 1080p file plays fine and looks good hdmi out

I think most people are actually talking about HDMI output, which at the moment is stuck at 720p.

its not stuck at 720p.. but if you think about it, your native tablet resolution is 1280x800 , which is natively projected/mirrored to your telly and if you want 1080p which is then going to happen with it?
its gonna scale it...
if your video of 1920x1080 should be played on a tv without mirror, it could work, but i doubt it got the videomemory to have 1 fullHD and one scaled at 1280x1080 . which is the problem right now..
but i know Atrix4G have something like that, as i uses 2 separate displays at the same time. so it might be we get that function..no video on tablet, but fullHD on telly.

I dont think so, because have a checked topic for this problem. And some files is played fine, except 1080 i though have some problem with the Tegra2 decode, not because of OS.
So confuse about this problem, if can not play smoothly 720 and 1080, so HDMI output for nothing.
Another thing is can we play flash game in facebook with 3.0?

Is there any way to play 4k videos on Nexus 7? I had tried with different players (like MX Pro, XBMC etc.) but none of them worked. Some played only audio, some didn't read a file.

The Nexus 7 hardware does not support 4k playback
So what is the maximum resolution of video that Nexus will play? I have tried 2560x1440 but it still doesn't work. Is it "only" 1080p?
What's the point of playing a higher resolution? The nexus 7 is 720p, not 1080p. I'm sure it can play higher resolution videos, but you can't get a higher output than 720p.

Well i dose not support 4k
I just tested it with my note 3 4k recording
and all i got was a black screen but i got the sound from it
4K is too highe for nexus 7, compress your 4k videos in advance
Well... recording 4k-Video will be impossible because 4k is more than 8MP and the Cmaera-Module of the Nexus 7 has just 5 Megapixels!
But playing 4k-Video... - ?
I think the processing power is strong enough for 1440p but maybe it's to weak for 2160p!
The stock youtube app displays no items only a empty menu, so I have to download the latest ome from google play. My mojo is rooted.
However, the maximum quality of any video is only 720p, even if my mojo is set to 4k output to a 4k tv. Some of the videos I knew for a fact were 4k since I watched them on my shield tv.
I then thought this was the fault of stock rom, so I went all the way to flash the remix os 2 rom as well. But I could still only got 720p.
What is wrong with my unit? I thought madcatz mentioned 4k youtube.

My guess it that it's YouTube, not MOJO. They will tailor their files to the target.

I wonder if using the YouTube plugin from within Kodi might work with higher resolutions...
Sent from my C6730 using Tapatalk
Already tried Kodi, and 720p only.
Using firefox and keep it as desktop mode, I could get 4k but very unstable, and slow like a slideshow.

Are you sure your internet connection is up to 4K? If so, try another (faster) browser. Firefox on Android is monster heavy. Even Dolphin might be too much, maybe Boat?

kevinthefixer has a good point. I've been able to watch typically laggy school lectures in Adobe connect using Puffin browser. Using one of these lighter browsers may do the trick for you (worth a try anyways).

Mine only 720 too and on Hudl 2 is 1080

I followed your suggestion and tried a few others browsers. However, it seems only Firefox and Chrome will get 1080p and 2160p from youtube's desktop sites - Firefox is very slow for 4k while chrome is giving me black screen no matter what resolution was chose.
For the other browsers, including Boat, the highest resolution is only 720 in desktop site.
At this stage, and after trying to play a 4K clip locally, I gave up. 4k on the mojo simply is not practical. I go back to my shield TV and the mojo will go the to TV in the basement.
720p is probably a pre-set from google itself. 1080p on mobile wouldn't even make sense for most users. google still allows to go to Desktop versions of its websites to stream better qualities.
Playing 4k on browser can be more difficult than localy in general. specially when playing anything else than AVC.
Mojo is VERY WELL capable of 4k locally. Im watching such contend nearly every time i start this little beast.
But it depends on the file itself. MP4 3840x2160 with AVC is a piece of cake, even beyond UHD its capable.
VP9 4k will not run fine at all. 1080p is fine but higher is tough.
Even HEVC at 1080p and a bit above is possible with Mojo.
Im using KODI btw.
The issue i have with Kodi and YT is a bit different. Sometimes the Plug-in, by that KODI itslef, stops and freezes the System. Same problem since day one on Mojo.
Conveniently, I've found a solution for you guys while solving a problem of my own with the YouTube app. That problem being the fact that I hate using my mouse to navigate. So upon finding out that there is a "lean back friendly" (ie: you can use the arrow keys to navigate) version of the YouTube app specific to Android TV, I installed it, it's much nicer to use than the mobile YouTube app for starters. And lastly but most importantly to you guys: you can enable 1080p.
You won't find it on the Play Store, at least I wasn't able to. I went to APK Mirror and got the latest version which I believe was from Dec 2015. I hope this helps everyone interested.
Could you please share your experience with this new app?
I have my stick connected to my 5.1 Home Cinema HDMI port. At theokwnt I'm getting 5.1 sound from Netflix and Amazon Prime.
I was hoping that with dedicated YouTube app I will also get 5.1 sound. When on 9th July I downloaded and installed this new YouTube app I was excited as I played my purchased movies and inhad 5.1 sound.
Today when I started watching another purchased movie it is only stereo. I checked other movies from my YouTube library and now they all play stereo. Netflix and Amazon Prime are still playing 5.1.
I'm wondering if google have changed something or YouTube app have been updated in a meantime.
Also the video quality I can select watching purchased videos is showing max 480p however the video looks like 1080p so not sure what's going on. For other regular videos I can change quality to 1080p.
Can someone suggest any fix?
Thanks for comments.
Update 1
I think google/YouTube is doing something as today I can see quality options to have 1080p included now. However the sound is still 2.0. Hopefully they will change this too.
