Qhd 60fps video playback lag on youtube - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, I have a Galaxy S7 Edge and I want to play QHD videos at 60fps on YouTube. however when I select 1440p60fps on YouTube, the video starts lagging. There's no problem with watching Normal QHD videos or even 1080p 60fps videos on YouTube. Any fix? I really would love to watch QHD 60fps videos.

I have the latest SuperMan Rom & the iYTBP-vanced Magisk Module and i don't have any issues even with 2160P. I use the VP9 codec for max resolution of [email protected] and never any lagging at all.

Any rootless solution?

Hey man thanks for responding. Can you help me out with a solution that doesn't require me to flash a custom rom? Coz Sam Pay has become a daily driver for my transactions

Make sure your Resolution is set to WQHD i.e 1440x2560. Then restart the YouTube app.. you will see the 1440p60fps option in available videos.

yeah i did and its playing like a slow motion when i played it using the data.. when switched to wifi .. it worked well!

My wifi and mobile data has almost same bandwidth.. But I didn't try it using wifi.. Let me try it out on wifi. hopefully it works.

its not about bandwidth.. its about processing... 4g uses more cpu power than wifi.. u can try 3g too i guess it will work too

well, experienced almost the same lag but not on youtube.
a short clip downloaded from youtube, resolution 2160x3840 @60fps. the video lags a lot but the sound continues to play

[Q] Problem with playing 4k videos

Hi,
I have a problem with playing 4k videos on my Galaxy S5, SM-G900F. Whenever I record something with 4k quality and play it, it's fine. But when I download a short 4k video and play it, it either stutters or plays it @ 1 FPS. That is, it shows a frame for a second and it disappears for a second and so on... Also it happens to have no sound at all.
What gives? Has anyone else had this problem too?
Thanks.

Just because it does not fully support all 4k video formats (codec).
Maybe the newer firmware will support more formats.

OK. Maybe I should try finding different codecs. I think players like BS Player and MX Player support custom codecs. If anyone knows of any good 4k codecs for Android I'd be grateful.

5.18.5 has the 2k option back. You need to install it then wipe data and cache then it will show the 2k option. Just Google the app and you can sideload it. Playing video through the desktop is buggy.
I have just downloaded 5.18.5 and that doesnt give me the 1440 option either I only have 720 p

Youtube max resolution 480p

Hi when i am on wifi network in the youtube app i've only available as max resolution 480p ?
don't know what cause your youtube Prob, but my s7e works @1080P
I once had that problem. I think I removed the data of YouTube and its fixed
Thanks it worked
For me, any video that usually has the 60fps option was limited to just 480p (no 60fps). Also any videos that's available in resolutions above 1080p (e.g. 1440p) meant that the same video was only presenting 480p in Android.
I found the problem. Looks like the latest Youtube app update breaks the playback option for higher res/fps, or Google just decided to remove it for some bizarre reason.
To fix it, just go to the play store > look for youtube > Click "Remove" or "uninstall updates" > Wait. When it's done, try any 4k or 60FPS video and you should now see it work normally (the highest res you can select will be 1440p of course).

[SM-G9750] [SOFTWARE BUG] Video playback being throttled or not utilizing CPU / GPU?

For owners of the SM-G9750 (S10+ CN / HK model), I'm trying to get some verification here on a possible software issue. I'm trying to play a 4K video file locally (specifically a 4K HDR H.265 / HEVC MKV @ 24fps video, but I believe this bug may apply to all UHD video playback - I'm not sure as I haven't done enough testing) and it seems to be dropping frames and stuttering throughout. I cannot get it to play smoothly despite trying all of the following:
Setting the phone to Performance mode.
Trying different players - in this case, the default video player, MX Player Pro and VLC.
Moving the video player app to Game Launcher and optimizing them for performance.
Forced 2D GPU Rendering in Developer Options.
Changing display resolution from WQHD to FHD.
Moving the video file from SD card to internal storage.
Disabling / uninstalling all apps which use Accessibility Services.
Clearing cache.
Factory reset.
None of these worked. ---UNTIL--- I tried using the screen recorder, from the Game Launcher settings, whilst watching the video. Playback was then perfect! No dropped frames, completely smooth, like it should be. The other alternative was to use software decoding but then colours would appear muted and battery life takes a huge hit.
So what's the deal here? Is the CPU or GPU not kicking in / being throttled whenever I launch a video player app? I'm assuming this is the case as the screen recorder seems to boost playback performance once I activate it. I'm on the June update and I'm not sure if this bug was introduced recently (I never tested 4K playback until now).
Owners of this particular model, could you please confirm if you are having this issue? Try watching a 4K video with lots of action and camera panning movements - that's where you can detect dropped frames or stuttering easily. I could provide the file I'm using for reference but it's a clip from a movie and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share it here.
Okay since no one has replied and moderators on the Samsung forums are busy removing my posts - try this clip for example, it's 4K HDR encoded in H.265 / HEVC, I don't know if that makes a difference:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/m83ftn7n8d8le2s/Plane_Crash_Scene.mp4/file
Stutters in the default video player app for me. One thing to note is that it's smooth in portrait mode, but the moment you rotate into landscape fullscreen, it starts dropping frames. Now, turn on the screen recorder from within game tools and the stutters are mostly eliminated. What gives?
Another way to compare would be with a video player that lets you switch between hardware and software decoding, like MX Player. Watch the clip in HW mode and then switch to SW - it's choppier in HW mode for whatever reason. Using SW is not an option as the colours are not displayed properly and battery drain is much higher.
Regarding the clip - if it's against the rules to post such content, let me know and I'll remove it. There's a whole YouTube channel full of this stuff, I don't want to link to those as the problem I'm encountering is related to local video playback.
One last try before I sign off Here's another example if anyone has YouTube Vanced (google vanced.app for those unaware). I'm suggesting Vanced because the original YouTube app doesn't let you view at 4K resolution.
Firstly, open Vanced and tap the account icon in the upper right. Go to settings, Vanced settings, Video settings and then toggle Resolution Checks to ON. Refresh and restart the app.
Now open Game Launcher, tap the three dots in the upper right > Add apps and add YouTube Vanced to the list. We're doing this for the screen recording function which I'll mention later.
Once that's done, here's a 4K 60fps clip for you to try. It should be easier to perceive any hiccups with the higher frame rate. And of course, please set the resolution to 2160p (tap the three dots in the upper right) and watch in landscape orientation, since this is what the test is all about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ
Panning shots work best. For reference, see the one of the step trail at 2:42 in the video. Does it look like it's stuttering or dropping frames intermittently?
Now, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to show the navigation bar (you need the navigation bar enabled to use the recording function) and tap on Game Tools, which is the leftmost button. Tap Record.
While the screen is recording, are the stutters now gone? To my eyes, the video is definitely smoother while the recorder is active. Appreciate any feedback from those willing to try (and confirm if I'm insane or not!) - cheers!
