when taping the resolution settings while streaming video on youtube it doesn't show also flashplayer 10.1 should support this , has nay one faced this issue i can't choose any setting rather than 360 p no more , no less
Why on earth would you want to watch 720p YouTube videos on a screen that isn't 720p?
The Android app doesn't support it because it generally errs on the side of lower quality due to generally slower cellular connections.
Flash Player on Android likely wouldn't play anything over 480p very well on Android, so even if you could, you likely wouldn't want to.
The problem is I cannot choose any thing except 360p no more no less that is why Ian asking

I just got my Note in the mail from Clove UK. And everything is great so far, and I dunno if this is and Android thing (This is my first Android device) or a Samsung thing. When I play videos from You Tube or videos that I encoded the blacks are heavily pixelated. (Not sure if that's a word). Am I doing something wrong? What program and/or setting is the best to get rid of that black pixel issue? The test video of the jelly fish works great. Noob questions I know! Thank in advance again for your help.
My guess is that its not directly your fault.
There are several aspects to think of here:
- It may be that artefacts (caused by video encoded in low bitrate) are more noticable on a screen like that of the galaxy note than others.
- It may be that youtube just delivers you the low quality version of the video.
- The video on youtube may be in bad quality to begin with, try other youtube videos and see if it happens only on a few ones or many.
- Note: I see now you already tried the video, so that is probably not a cause. (Your screen itself may have some flaws. Check on that for instance by using a screen test tool like "Screen Test" or playing the video already supplied with the Note (Open the standard video player app that comes with it and select "lightness & slimmess"))
When it comes to watching youtube on a mobile device I recommend (if you have a mobile data connection with enough bandwidth, such as good umts or hsdpa or Wifi) to enable high quality in the youtube app (whenever possible, use the youtube app, and do not play it in the browser).
To do this hit the options button in the youtube app, select settings and enable the first option to enable high mobile quality.
Secondly many videos will allow you to switch between lower and higher quality with the HD button on the upper left (visible at the start or when you tap the screen while palaying) - if you enable high mobile quality this should be turned on to high quality by default.
When it comes to youtube thats probably all you can do to improve quality.
When it comes to playing videos in general (excluding youtube) the standard player can manage most formats. However if you have trouble with some videos you may want to give Dice player a try!
Hope this helps!
Ok thanks, I will def try that!
I belive this is coursed by the hight res/density of the Note screen and low quality of the video in YouTube app, I think the highest quality of video in the YouTube app is only 480P.
I also noticed this problem while streaming old TV shows from PLEX to my Note, this is less noticeable with my Tab 10.1 with the same resolution but its screen is about 4 times larger.
You could use the stock or most aftermarket browser and watch 720P YouTube using Flash on normal YouTube site.
simple solution is to not use the app and just use a browser. ive had no issues watching 720p videos in youtube on the browser.

can you post the youtube link so u can test on my Note.
I have also experienced this on other vids and am convinced it may a bit depth limitation of the Note screen... but need to verify.

I've noticed this too with the You Tube app. The blacks sometimes are blocky. A good example is the Avatar 1080p trailer, especially around 15 seconds mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2RCBa3l-g
If I view the same clip on You Tube via a browser (720p settings) it looks better, but the browser is a fiddly substitute for the app on a phone. It does seem to be mostly a bitrate limitation though, so maybe Google or a.n. other hacker needs to modify "HD" on their app to mean a higher bitrate, now we're defining 1280x800 as a mobile screen resolution .
[edit]
Actually, if I watch that Avatar clip in the browser with a playback quality set to 240p or 360p it obviously looks pixelated, but doesn't show the blockiness that's in the You Tube app stream. Looks like the app either is handling the stream differently (badly) or the stream itself is different to that which is sent to the flash plugin in the browser. Wonder if Google is using a different codec for their app. WebM maybe?
although i have note 4 the youtube app limits the qulaity to 720p only without any 1080 or better resolution choices
first i uninstalled the updates and re install it again the 1080 appears the with the new update limitation returns
to 720p
off course i tried to open UHD video but the same res. 720p only
any suggestions ?
thanks
Some people are saying that youtube version 5.9 is able to play at 1080p. Sideload that version,then go to the play store and disable auto update for the youtube app
Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk
You need to remove all updates, clean data and caches.. Reboot and install the new YouTube version and you will get 1080p. If you don't know how to do please send a PM and I will send to you the YouTube version with 1080p.
Well, i did the same by removing the newest YouTube app and removed the app data and caches and so on. And i did reboot the phone and then i installed YouTube v5.9.0.13 that gave me both 1080p and 1440p video resolution option.
Yes, i also disabled the auto-update of the YouTube app in Play Store.
But that fun lasted for 3 days, then they just disapeared without any reasons. So i might have to try this all over again to see if i get the 1080p and 1440p video resolutions back.
EDIT: It didn't work to install the YouTube v5.9.0.13 to get back the 1080p and 1440p resolution. So i'll guess we are stuck at 720p for the time being.
I did it three times
Forst one i get the 1080 then also suddenly it returnes to 720p
The other two times totaly failed
And 720p dominated
Any way it seems that we will wait

Hello friends
I used the following method to play 1080p videos without lag.
MKV format and many are not completely supported by Android itself. So when we play high quality Videos it lags.
Step 1. I used the software HANDBRAKE, it is an awesome converter. https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
Step 2. After installing select the source file to convert which is originally 1080p .
Step 3. Now go to the video tab and select the following settings
Video Codec: H.264
Framerate : Constant ( reliable)
variable
X264 Tune : Fast Decode
H.264 Profile: Main
High Profile
H.264 level : 4.0 or 4.1 (better)
Right hand side : Make the Quality 22
You can change audio codec too according to your wish.
You can experiment which setting works awesome.
I gave the settings i use.
I know this is not anything new. I made this OP for those who don't know.
Feedbacks are always welcome

Changing the video format and/or quality is not a good option. I want all my videos to play without hassle. And I was satisfied with custom ROMs and Kitkat because everything ran just fine. Lollipop's kernel doesn't support 1080p playback, I mean it doesn't support hardware decoding for videos. CPU is weak and can't play 1080p but the GPU can but it doesn't allow us to use the GPU.
CM and all custom ROMs allow everything, no worries with them.
Also, SidDev, basically it's a placebo effect, quality is affected and the original "shine" of the 1080p videos is gone. We just can't notice it but if both original and converted videos are played side by side, you'll notice the quality difference.

First of all @nilanko you are completely wrong about saying that lollipop kernel doesn't support 1080p videos, it supports completely and we have enough hardware to support 1080p. Mx player cant support hw on mkv and other. but if you try my way it will work.
I already said the reason for it many formats are not supported and h.264 is best codec.
Try my procedure if it doesnt work let me know,

Hey boy, i am not degrading video resolution here that it will degrade, it wont degrade and instead it will enhance the quality. i guess you speak without knowledge.
I think the main difference is this setting :
X264 Tune : Fast Decode
As per handbrake, this setting should be used with very weak CPU's only (which motoE definitely has).
from h(t)(t)ps: //mattgadient.com /2013/06/12/a-best-settings-guide-for-handbrake-0-9-9/ :
Fast Decode (checkbox)
Usually you do *not* want this checked. A few exceptions:
Check it if you’re trying to play your videos on an older computer that struggles to decode H264.
Check it if playing videos on an older device that struggles to decode H264.
You could optionally check it if uploading to YouTube or other video-sharing sites. It may make it quicker for the site to decode it and put your video up. It’s usually not necessary.
It disables a few H264/x264 optimizations, making it easier to play but at the expense of a larger file (or lower quality if using an average bitrate). Since most recent computers/devices have built-in hardware support for these optimizations, you usually don’t need to bother with it. If you find that playback on your favorite device is choppy, try checking this though.

So i guesss the learning is that we can use this option, but choose a higher bitrate. The file size would be larger than original, but the quality would be same, and it would play smoothly. Of course, If there is no GPU decoding, then the CPU would be used, which would burn through battery.

Condor doesn't support 1080p video playback. It is specified by Motorola if you ever read the specs in detail. Neither the CPU nor the GPU is made for 1080p playback. Although there is enough power at the GPU side but still it can't play very high bitrate and high FPS videos without lag. That's why Motorola has specified it as fullHD unsupported.
OK, I was a bit wrong, I meant to say lollipop kernel doesn't support hardware decoding on many formats/codecs (1080p) but kitkat did. I could play most 1080p vids on kitkat with the stock player itself whereas on stock LP, I can't. With MXPlayer on Kitkat, all 1080p played seamlessly unlike Lollipop. MXPlayer supports everything. It's just the stock LP kernel's limitation. I have experimented a hell lot.

Look Sid, I'm not trying to say your method is bad. But if you look closely at my post, you'll notice that I never ever said you are lowering the resolution. Quality=bitrate. You are lowering down the bitrate (aka quality) (Why did you set it at 22?). You can never "enhance" the quality of an existing video just by increasing the bitrate. It'll do nothing more than increasing the file size. You can only degrade the quality which you are already doing. And yeah, I just noticed that the program itself says "placebo". So it's a proof and its pretty much evident. You can lower down the quality a bit but you'll never notice the degradation of quality that's why they call it "placebo". But if you have tiger eyes like me, you can tell the difference. Lowering the bitrate means lower processing power is required for decoding the video into its components. N hence, you're playing them lag free now incase they used to lag. N yeah, changing codec and formats n all that also gives you the advantage of being able to play them on GPU. But lowering the quality is not a good option. Everything you're doing is okay other than the quality thing.
Besides, this not a feasible solution because not everyone carries a computer with them everywhere and even if they do, they won't go through this hectic process of converting each video, atleast not me. I just want all my fullHD vids to play without hassle and Moto E does that very well. If I'm on custom ROM, all need is MXPLayer. And for stock users, use BSPlayer n choose its own hardware decoder. Simple solution, works flawlessly and better than anything. Then why would I sit and convert videos when BSPlayer can play all my vids rightaway?

First of all show me where Motorola posted these.
Nextly its not placebo till 24 level if you increase more than that its placebo. I made it 22 as its best setting. And please keep your tiger eyes with you.

Finally a senseable person is here.
Yes you are right
I had tried different combination before and finslised the best setting
Other thing which makes difference is H.264 and profile
The quality remains like 1080p but runs fasts without a single lag but people here don't understand what they say.
Alright, this is not World War III. So I'm happily shutting my mouth.

Yup I know, I had experimented a hell lot with all these and yeah they don't even preview! Kitkat was much better in these regards. They don't play smoothly on stock LP because they are decoded by CPU and LP doesn't allow hardware decoding (GPU) of 1080p mp4 videos (don't know about other formats/codecs) out of the box. This is gonna disappoint the general public a lot because they don't really know how to get them working unlike us. This is really a bad step taken by Motorola devs.

See my video which is also 1080p see the difference and codec
when i downloaded it was only 50 mb then i converted using the Hand Brake to my settings in OP.
When i downloaded it originally it was lagging now it is smooth as butter. Please stop blaming Lollipop. Remember that the lollipop we are using is still soak test and it might have problems.
Just do as i said in OP and see the difference.

I'm using a GT-I9505 with wizcyan 3.2 rom. I was wondering as the tilte says if this phone can handle 1080 p 60 videos.
If so what is the problem of not being able to play it (it freezes but audio is working fine).
If there are tw, cm or aosp roms that can play it, how did they do that because I'm very curious about it.
Still no answer? Hmmm...
Anyway I looked at qualcomm's site, they claim qualcomm 600 can play up to 1080 hd...
I'm thinking it can't support 1080p60, but I heard someone can see 1080p60, which make me doubt about qualcomm's statement.
I hope someone can answer me.
It doesn't. Do a Google search and you'll see couple of threads where people have the same problem as you. Or maybe that's just something related to the YouTube app. Maybe it can play [email protected] fps videos that are on the phone's storage.
Anyway, YouTube should work with [email protected] fps.
And the difference in quality isn't really that big. This difference is further minimized by the fact that you're watching it on a mobile phone screen and even 360p would look acceptable.
I constantly download videos in 360p (to save space and time) and they look surprisingly good.

You're wrong, it's because of the ROM - if You're on CM, the phone can handle 1080p60 with ease. If you want to, it can even handle 1440p but yeah, why would you with a 1080p panel. tl:dr Depends on ROM
