I was wondering why I had no 1080p60 option on the YouTube app so I tested the 720p60 option first, then I found out that trying to play 60fps videos on YouTube makes it stutter VERY badly.
Is it possible to get smooth 60fps YouTube playback or can the S4's hardware just not handle it? Hopefully it's a software limitation.
EDIT- Problem seems to be fixed after I set battery mode to performance, but I am unsure if that is what solved the problem. After setting the battery mode to balanced, the smooth playback was still retained. Now my problem is that I get no 1080p60 option :/ I can play 1080p videos fine, but no 1080p60 option is shown when I am watching a video that's 60fps. I'm pretty sure the S4 can handle 1080p60. Hell, my J2 Prime can handle 1080p60 just fine.

When I watch a YouTube video on my tab I get very noticeable jumps and laggy performance when the video is moving quickly for example when panning across. The video loads and buffers fine and in low definition I do not have this problem. Does anyone know what is going on or if there is fix?
If you don't understand what I mean just let me know and I will take a video of the problem.
Thanks,

So, the YouTube app finally supports 60fps video, and it defaults to it whenever I'm on Wi-Fi, however, whenever it tries to display any video at 60fps, it just freezes on the first frame it buffers and all I get is the audio playing over that frozen frame. I have to switch it to 480p/30 to start properly watching the video again.
Is anyone else having this issue? Is this can be fixed, how do I go about doing that?
I'm on stock 4.2.2 rooted.
Thanks!
I started experiencing that large video playing on YouTube lags the sound, especially when a video is long. The sounds go way ahead from the video. It looks like the phone lacks the ram or performance but it has a decent tech specification, should be an issue, especially when I play a video on a low resolution. Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
I have a similar issue with video playback. However, it is not only with youtube, it is with all videos. Even those on google photos, etc. The playback timer doesn't start, but the video starts with no sound, then the playback timer starts with the sound and the video freezes until the sound catches up with the video. The issue disappears with a restart and only started happening recently. Very odd.
Made an account for this lul... Anyways it seems like I fixed the issue on my phone, I disabled the mobile manager, let me know if that works for you. Good luck
I had to update youtube
I have just gotten a shield tv today, it upgraded to 6.0 so I haven't had chance to try the earlier version.
However via Kodi 17.4 I am getting continual choppy playback on 4k x265 files.
It's not a network issue as the file plays back fine in mxplayer.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have Kodi set to adjust refresh rate (which works) , but it's not a refresh rate issue, it's continually really choppy.
SPMC plays a little better but then freezes.
Fixed it myself.
Disabled mediacodec ( surface ) in playback options
I've the exynos variant of the Galaxy S8 and I've slight judder and frame skipping whenever I try watching videos on it using the stock player or any third party player for that matter. It only happens when the hardware decoder is selected to play the file.
On software deciding it plays just fine without any judder or frame skipping. I tried playing the files with other phones of mine and all of them play them flawlessly.
I was unable to understand why this has been happening. On apps like Netflix and Amazon Prime the video is buttery smooth without any judder or frame skipping. This only happens when I try to play the files that are stored on the phone. Can someone help me out?
