Official YouTube App - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, I use sometimes the youtube app from Google.
Apparently this is easy and efficient application,
BUT it results in quite poor videos quality.
What is strange, on videos of X2 the video gets fullscreen and better quality there.
Is there any way to increase the videos quality on X1 form this native app??

The video quality automatically increases if you use wifi, but its not much of a quality boost. I hope Google issues a Youtube update with higher quality codecs enabled.

[Q] How to fix video recording in CyanogenMOD

Hello, I have CyanogenMOD nightlies on my 4X. It is totally no problem to fast take great pictures using Camera ZOOM FX, but I can't find some solution for video recording. The Cyanogen camera app is horrible and doesn't work at all. Pictures cannot be taken it freezes itself and video is in horrible quality even if FHD is selected. I tried a lot of stuff from Google Play, but it is not worth doing it. Is there any way to use original LG camera app in CMOD? Thanks alot!
There is a sample video recorded in HD, as you can see it is pretty laggy and sh*t quality.
Add this after youtube link to see video (without quotes) "/watch?v=Z5sHLFwLGBA"

A better camera quality for apps like - Skype, Instagram , Whatsapp etc

Since I have succesfully activated HAL3 on our device, I started getting amazing pictures with the help Google Camera. The noise reduction is off, the quality is crystal-clear, which means that we haveamazing sensors on both our cameras, the rear and front one.
But even with this feature turned on, the quality of the built-in cameras of Instagram, Skype, Google Duo , Whatsapp and Viber offer a very low quality of the image even when taking photos but most important - when making a video call. The quality is awfull, just like the stock camera with it's noise reduction on. Blury image and very low FPS while in a videocall. We have great camera modules on our phone, so how to find in the ROMs a way to make these apps use the best quality available of our cameras? Is it related to HAL1 or HAL3 or is there a code in the kernel that can be modified? Or what is the key to make it work better?
When opening the video camera of the stock camera app - the image is clear and the noise-reduction is off...so it is amazing, even the fps is high, no glicthes. As soon as I switch the camera back to the photo, I get a blury image and low fps in of the viewfinder.... exaclty the same is within any of the above meantioned apps. How to make a better camera quality when using them? I haven't found any solution anywhere on the XDA forum not even on the 4pda forum.
Am I the only one concerned about this fact?
The front camera of this device is OV5675 Sensore and read on their page, it says it can handle video recording of Full HD at 60FPS
Than why did the MIUI limit it's capabilities so low? To make it look like a cheap sensor and sell the phone as budget?
Anyone?

Instagram Stories videos low framerate?

Is anyone facing problems with Stories videos? Whenever I try to upload a video, from my gallery, the video lags SO MUCH...
And if I try to record a video directly in Instagram app, the video lags EVEN MORE.
The experience with this social network, in a whole, is a little bit crappy, with the Mi A2...
It's so sad, because I really love this phone, specially the camera.
Well, is anyone facing the same problem? Is there any fix?
Thanks in advance! <3
Same problem, only with GBintsa stories work fine
Same problem, but only video story.
I also have this issue and always had it with every Android smartphone I ever owned. I investigated a bit on the internet and read somewhere that Instagram handles the Android camera API in a ****ty way. I'm no expert but seemingly the difference is that iPhone always uses the same API or just some different version because there are not many models on Android however there are probably more than 1000 different camera APIs because there is a much bigger variety of models. In short: Instagram on Android is not very well optimized.
I had the same issue with my MI A2 i fixed it buy installing a previous version of the instagram app I had the go like 10 vesrion before to get it right though and i lost the gif feature in messages but let's hope the update wont have the same problem.
Instagram beta works fine for me
Edit: NO IT'S NOT!!
Also recording from stock camera app in 1080p 60fps and then posting as story is fine
I also had this kind of issue, which is also present in older device like Redmi Note 4 in MIUI. I don't know what make its bugged tho

You have to think that you don't have an iphone, and you don't record smooth video on instagram app. Record on camera app and share it on your story.
Also photos you sent on instagram are in very tiny resolution (dm)

Yes I know...
I think this is a decoder related thing.. because screenshots look bad, but photos taken from camera looks good. Any video other than 1080p 60 fps from stock camera looks stuttering; but it also has very bad sound quality... That's really fuktup xiaomi..
sound program

The problem with the sound program will solve Cinema FV-5.
Go to the sound settings and put a tick on the Disable Audio Automatic gain Control (AGC). The sound starts being processed by the application's algorithms.

Instagram stories are smooth on my mi a2 running android P with the latest instagram update. Last time i was on android 8.1, the latest version of instagram has the choppy stories problem. Try updating to android P.
It's been months and still my stories are 15 fps.... what a joke...
This crap needs to get fixed. No matter which account I the video is choppy/laggy. If i shoot video inside the app the review looks good. once it uploads it's laggy. If I save the video to my phone... it's choppy. If i have a video already on my phone and I upload it to stories to the normal feed... it's choppy AF.
I'm on 8.1 oreo with RAW enabled. This suuuucks
Can someone confirm that the videos are better or smoother in Android P?

YESS this also happened to me, im using redmi note 5 rn and the current rom is in miui 10 global stable
The solution is to install the older version of instagram. I'm from Brazil and I found this solution, if you want to solve it and see everything fast again use this version here: 51.0.0.20.85
Search google to download ...
Do not upgrade to the newer version, if it does not come back all over again.
Guys! I found the solution!! Try to use the
H.265/HEVC codec.

Crappy video upload quality on Instagram Stories

I don't know if it happens to everybody, but when I record a video on Instagram Stories, even if is with a good quality when recorded, when I upload it, it's with a horrible quality, all laggy and ****. Is there any fix for this? Recording a video from stock camera then posting it improves the quality?
I've noticed the same thing, its pixelated and laggy, Snapchat don't have this problem.
I have the same problem. Anyone have any news on the topic?
This had been mentioned before: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/instagram-stories-videos-low-framerate-t3846135
I've heard that upgrading to Android Pie or downgrading Instagram version will help on the video quality. It's not like all stories from my friends are also low quality as I am...
Android app
You can try app from play market, it helps upload video to stories in hight quality. Works with Android 7+ (https:// ) play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.insta.videouploader and it has free upload every day or low price subscription which gives you upload files without any limits

Lagging on Youtube while watching 1080p 60fps and 4K

Hi friends, i have a problem while watching 60fps and 4K videos in Youtube. When i set resolution to 1080p 60fps and increase video speed the video starts to lagging and loses smoothness. I try this on Youtube vanced and official youtube app and result is same.
Also in 4k i have same problem.
I am waiting for your answers.
My device
Huawei P20 Pro CLT-L09
9.0.0.163
Latest youtube vanced,
4K 60Fps HDR - 1,5x playback speed (although purpose of 60fps was for slower playback to be honest)
all work fine.
Is your battery saver on ?
Could be down to your Internet speed and not your phone. My phone doesn't have any issue with playback lag at higher resolution and frame rate.

I have no problem on 1x speed but when i switch to 1.5x or 2x video loses smoothness. When i enable performance mode sometimes fix issue. But still i don't understand the reason of this issue
Hello , I have the same problem. Still on 8.1.0.156. Using std youtube or vanced.. when in portrait the video looks awesome and smooth. On full screen becomes laggy and slow in 1080p60. I would like to add it to game suite app but you can't. Still looking for a solution....
SOLVED. Was using Fluid Navigation Gestures App and that was causing the lag in Youtube Vanced. Just add YT to blacklist and now works fine.
The problem is your hardware not the device, To fix this you have to go in developer options in settings and turn disable Hardware overlay on. if you dont have this option update your device, if this also does not work get a new device.
