YouTube 1080p no longer an option - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was able to watch YouTube videos with the 1080p option on my new Moto X, but now the settings only allow me to select up to 720p. Anyone getting the same thing? Do you know how to fix? I confirmed from my pc that 1080p is an option for the videos I'm selecting. Thanks!

No one?

The only way i know how is to root the device and edit the build.prop. They only had the 1080 p feature on 4.4.2 for some apparent reason.

[Possible MOD] Editing build.prop to enable 1080p video recording

There a way to change this part of the build.prop to enable 1080p video recording? I tried just changing the resolution to 1920X1080 and lowered the fps to 25 but it didnt do anything.
ro.media.dec.vid.wmv.enabled=1
ro.media.dec.aud.wma.enabled=1
ro.media.enc.hprof.file.format=3gp
ro.media.enc.hprof.aud.hz=44100
ro.media.enc.hprof.aud.ch=2
ro.media.enc.hprof.codec.aud=aac
ro.media.enc.hprof.aud.bps=128000
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=4000000
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.width=1280
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.height=720
ro.media.enc.hprof.codec.vid=h264
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.fps=30
this would be great!!
Thatsball the phone is missing.

Try that.

yea tried that didnt do anything. still 1280 X720
I just saw this myself. You may need to up the bit rate if you up the resolution though. Definitely worth playing around with though.
I've also tried this, I think the issue is that the video app doesn't have an option to attempt 1080 video recording. Perhaps a 3rd party app will allow it.

LGcamera maybe?
Have to agree.

This is correct. It must be enabled in the system, but also in the application.

You could try moving the file to a PC and opening to see what the res is there, that'll let you know if it's recording in 1080 or not. But, more than likely, the app would have to allow it as well.
HD 1080 p capable
Capture – 720p MPEG4 and H.264 at 30 fps
Playback – 1080p MPEG4, H.264, WMV, Xvid at 30 fps
(Playback through HDMI is 720p at launch and will be upgraded to 1080p via SW upgrade post-launch)
Streaming – VGA in MPEG4, H.264, H.263 at 30 fps

why not beat motorola to this update
This phone should be able to do 1080p recording no problem. Several reviews before its release stated that if 1080p isn't supported then it would be possible to "enable it easily" via software. The bitrate will definitely need to increase. I'm curious to see if the 720p recordings would also benefit from an increase in kb/s. I am waiting for my Atrix upgrade.. I really want to try out the camera possibilities. I also agree that the kink here is the camera app/software needs to match the settings of the phone. The Atrix will be my first droid and I can't tell you how exited I am at the possibility of 1080p on my phone!
I will gladly test any scripts/apps that anyone posts. Just found this site and I LOVE IT! Thank you to all the devs (amateur and pro) who donate their time here. I plan on donating to a few key people once I get my phone!
*Also, is it possibly to enable more than one recording setting/profile in the "build.prop" file? If that question sounds dumb I'm sorry.
Well, before build.prop mod LGCamera fails to record at 1080p, after mod it records fine with some settings adjustment for the encoder. I, however, am at work for another hour so I cannot check the actual resolution of the recorded files.
Awesome! I'm hoping it works!
do we know for sure this phone has the hardware to handle 1080 recording?

Upon viewing the recorded "1080p" videos from LGCamera at home... yes, they are in fact recorded at 1080p. It doesn't have the best framerate ever, most likely due to LGCamera, but it is 1080p.
I will check settings and see which looks the nicest...

[Q] MediaRecorder() stalls at HD setting on EK-GC100

Hi,
I am trying to record 1280 x 720 video in a simple video recording app., targetted at the Samsung Galaxy Camera.
It is returned as an available size in Camera.getParameters().getSupportedVideoSizes();
The app works at other sizes I have tried, I really want 720 px, and would appreciate any feedback on what might be the problem.
This setting doesn't cause problems on other devices, but I haven't had a chance to hook them up to adb.
Using MediaRecorder.setVideoSize() to set this, the app starts recording video as one would expect, but with the size set to these values, on calling MediaRecorder.stop(); the app freezes and continues to record video, but neither stops nor completes the file write. I am calling the MediaRecorder like this:
mRec.setCamera(camera);
mRec.setVideoSource(MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
mRec.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mRec.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
mRec.setVideoSize(1280,720);
mRec.setVideoEncoder(MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.MPEG_4_SP);
mRec.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AMR_NB);
mRec.setPreviewDisplay(sh.getSurface());
mRec.setOutputFile(dirPath + fileName + ".mp4");
mRec.prepare();
mRec.start();​

[Q] IPhone 5s like slomo video app?

So I recently bought The Moto X, amazing phone indeed, totally loving it.
I like the slow motion videos from this phone, but is there any possible way to get iPhone 5s like video app?
The one in which the video automatically, increases or decreases the speed of the videos in a really smart way while viewing the videos, when nothing much is happening the video automatically fasten ups and slow back when the main thing is being shown, are there any such smart apps for moto x slomo videos?
The stock gallery can do this. Tap the 3 dots menu after selecting the video in Gallery
i was having the same question but i thought it was not possible... i never knew the stock gallery had this option...thanks a lot man..
Also, is there any way to record sound while slow motion recording?

Youtube resolution

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this has been discussed in another thread, but I've been digging into this for about 2 hours now, and found nothing. I have a backup galaxy s advance, that I recently flashed with a cm 11 rom, and I'm not sure, but I'm under the impression that before with 4.1.2 stock, I could watch 480p videos on youtube, now the maximum resolution is 360p, and it's kinda pixelated. My question is....stock, is 360p the maximum resolution supported ? Also, is there any mod/fix whatever that can force youtube to go to 480p ? From my limited knowledge a 800x480 display should be 480p compatible, but please correct me if I'm wrong I've tried to modify the pixel density from build prop, but with no effect. Any help would be much appreciated
somewhere on the internet I read that Youtube does this restriction when you use HDMI connection to the screen.
I used to have very nice HD streaming for long time but after one of the app updates it is restricted, nothing else changed. I tried even to compare how it looks on my laptop. same video is showing full hd on laptop while on android it shows 360p max.
so by the experience I have it is definitely youtube app which restricts the options!!!!!!!
On stock (and stock based roms) you can watch 480p videos.
On KitKat you can't.
But you could try alternative apps like this one for 720p videos.
ALSO you can use this module in XPOSED called YOURTUBE you can change the resolution of the playing video ( i have not used it myself but the dev has mensioned it in module info)
Thanks for the suggestions guys

how did you manage to do that? what kind of ROM do you have?
Also, at the bottom, does both of speakers work or only one, the one on the right side?
tnx

There's only one speaker the other one is the mic.
Just use the YouTube app and on the settings select the video quality 2k, 4k etc.

It wont work cause the screen is only full hd.. you wont be able to select higher res.....
I was able to play a 4k sample video and on chrome and dolphin browser I was able to select 4k/2k as well, whether or not is 4k it's questionable but it is selectable.
