I just watched an episode of Game of Thrones with the HBO Go app and the picture quality was total crap, it looked terrible. As a test I booted up my HTC One m8 and it was crystal clear. I was watching over wifi on both. Netflix and Hulu look great on this phone, but HBO Go looks terrible. Anyone else seeing this?

Even with HQ I still think the youtube quality is pretty ****ty when compared to the Froyo devices. Anything we can do about this?
Connect wifi.. Mines beautiful

I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed it.
I had been spoiled by the youtube on my TP2--quality was never anything but awesome. Even it's low quality settings were better looking than HQ on my fascinate. Very strange.
Youtube is really nice on my fascinate but I am using the HD youtube app that comes on the EVO, Incredible etc. Try that and see if its better.
where are you finding this hd youtube app
you could probably go to the incredible,or evo forums and find it

I tried this apk, works great for the first 45sec then freezes for about 10 then continues. I'm on 3g and wifi...is it just the buffering?
Currently on my pc I use atdhe.net to watch sports and tv shows. Only bad thing is I can't install the video players for the evo. Anyone know of a good site to watch live streams or how to put the video players on the evo?

Search appbrain or the market for TV Flash.
Flash tv is awesome. Skyfire works as a good browser without.installing the media players

Video buffering sucks for me.
If I do a comparison of the same video from youtube aapp im my Samsung galaxy s and Iconia there is no comparison. Galaxy S is soooooooooo much faster!!! dual core? Where did you go!! I'm waiting for you.
Well in almost everything Sgs performs better than Iconia.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Come on? Noone else suffering from buffering issues????
It really annoys me...YouTube is practically useless like this.

I've only noticed problems with streaming video from sources like Youtube or some imbedded clip when the clip is a link to the video and Android asks to open youtube or another app to view the stream. Then it does take forever to buffer up or sometimes doesn't start player at all. Is this what you're experiencing?
Otherwise, I'm not having much of a problem with video. I haven't done any really extensive testing though. The youtube site and App seems to work ok for me.
I have the settings to high quality on mobile but for some reason none of the videos I play are crisp. I tried the app the browser tried searching hd videos but everything seems to be pixelated to some extent? Anyone else having the same issues?

I thought i had that issue at first too. But i switched to Wifi and it came in clear. I dont know why, but 3g never gets videos clear for me. I had this issue on the SIII as well.
Videos play on "High Quality" over 3G. When on WiFi and I belive 4G also, video play in "HD". That is why it looks better over WiFi. There is a YouTube app floating around that has a setting that will allow you to watch videos in HD over 3G. However, 3G doesnt tend to have good enough speeds for solid playback in HD.

You try the mod YouTube app?
Just to let everyone know. I got an updated YouTube today dated version. 10.05.6 and with any mods it has 1440p video available.
If anyone needs the app let me know.

Does the video you tried to watch support 1440p? Search for "2k demo video" or something and see if 1440p is available when you watch one of those.
I did not do anything special it just played search 4k video test you will find a couple great test videos.

There's a certain process to follow. Look for it in apps and themes. It's posted there.

I got it fixed. All i did was install the app and clear the data and it started working. Nothing extra. Nice jump in quality since i was only able to see videos in 720p before.

Should be by now. It wasn't when the OP was made. I hade it before apk mirror too.
However the OP was to inform people they did not need to do the build prop edit anymore to get the 2k viewing.

New app updated from Google Play worked for me. But it wont work right off the bat. You have to force close app, go to the app settings and clear cache and data. Restarted YouTube and voila! Haven't had 1440p enabled in quite a bit
Anyone Know how to keep video quality at the highest? seems to change between videos. Nothing is settings.
Depends on the resolution the video was uploaded with. Some videos are low resolution, some are high. So you have to check each one. YouTube also streams in a lower resolution to get the video to the viewer quicker. Not everyone has fast enough Internet to stream 4k videos without buffering issues.
