Choppy streaming video playback

Hi All,
I have noticed a disturbing trend on my new Note 3. The streaming video playback is pretty terrible with just about everything except youtube. Has anyone else experienced this or do I likely have a bad unit? Thanks.

This is sort of expected behavior as apps need to be updated to utilize the Note 3's hardware decoder otherwise it has to be decoded in software which is slower and more battery consuming. What apps and what codec is the video encoded in?

Hmmm it seems strange that poor web video playback would be expected on a device targeted toward video consumers. I have encountered this with every streaming video I have tried to play in both Chrome and the built-in browser, with the exception of Youtube videos.

Have you tired Dice Player? Watching Pacific Rim 1080p right now

Only choppy video is from YouTube. I downloaded a few 1080p movies and trailers and they run flawlessly. So I'm assuming it's the youtube app needing to be updated as well as what exothermic video apps. Mx player works fine as well as the stock player

I feel the same way. I've bought a bunch of Nexus devices over the years, but this one is a big disappointment, it's going back. I just need a simple box that does Netflix and XBMC well. Fire TV here I come -- on sale for $69 today.
I tried playing movies from the Google movie store and my AVR shows "Multi Ch. In" so it is PCM multi channel. Same for Plex. But not for the Netflix app.
XBMC side loaded can do DD and DTS bitstreaming but no sign of DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD bitstreaming. Not sure whether it's a hardware limitation, XBMC, HDCP fun, etc.

Recording/Streaming to twitch no gameplay sound

Hi. I'm trying to record my gameplay and or stream to twitch via built in tools on shield TV 2015 with shield software 5.1, stock no root. Everytime I watch a recorded video or check twitch I have no in game audio. I can hear the shield controller mic though.
Any thoughts?

YouTube on Fire TV 4K stick experience

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.

Any chance you can upload the apk for the new YouTube app? You would really help many poor fellows like me
