Does tab s2 support HEVC H.265 video? - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry guys, but it's a serious matter and I can't understand well, I want a tablet that will last a while and I feel that HEVC support is mandatory as I watch a lot of movies/series on tablet ( I know it has a damned 4:3 screen ratio )
The info around the web are misleading, on the thread here seems that hevc video are supported, elsewhere that the soc is capable but not exposed to the O.S.
Can I play hevc 1080p video?
The only viable alternative is the z4 tablet but it's a bit pricey, but more importantly doesn't have multi windows, only small apps that seems horrible. ( although bring the tablet in the shower is awesome! even 16:10 display is great).
Thank you for your answers !
P.S.: for a complete view now I'm using a N7 2013 that is slowly dying ... :crying:

Do you have any sample? I will take a look and compare Tab S2 and Nubia Z9 Max (Snapdragon 810)

Everything is OK. No lags, no freezes.
But your samples were without sound.

Yes, I also downloaded 500kbps tractor and 2k bunny clip to test on my S2 8" and they both played fine except neither has sound. Are these clips with no audio stream? Or should there be sound with the video clips?
I also have a Nexus 7 2013 that I'm retiring. The battery life on it is dismal after 2 1/2 years of use. You cannot imagine how fast the Tab S2 is compared to the N7. lol. It's amazing fast!
As Giles says above, use Mx Player and check in the settings to allow x265 decoding. My Mx Player came with the setting turned OFF so make sure you check the box x265 to ensure it decodes x265 streams for you.

Yes the videos are without sound, I forgot to tell you , mea culpa !
BTW until my tablet is "working" ( or it forces me a reboot more than once very day ) I'll keep it; I've set my eyes on the upcoming ( ? ) nvidia shield x1 tablet ...
But the galaxy tab s2 8.0" for now it's the best deal!

Galaxy Tab S2 Does not Support HEVC H.265 video
From Android Central forum, we can see that the built-in video player app in Galaxy Tab S2 has no official support for H.265/HEVC video, but you can just install some third-party H.265 video player app such as VLC, Divx Player, PotPlayer, etc.

Hows it do for 720 or 1080 HD rendering?

I'm not too familiar with the Pi. But always considering options for a new HTPC / media center.
What's the general consensus on this nifty little thing regarding it's ability to handle HD material? Most of my collection is 720p due to having a 720 television. Can it handle an average bitrate of about 4,000-4,500kbps with peaks topping out at about 12,000-13,000kbps max (with very rare peaks hitting 20,000kbps)?
Thanks
Aaron
My pi running xbian handles 720p no problem for the most part, although it may occasionally buffer during really busy scenes. The biggest problem I had was that it couldn't handle DTS audio. Caused buffering every few seconds. I don't have any 1080p films as my TV is only 720p

Thanks Endoroid. DTS isn't an issue, as my sound system is still of the Dolby era and all of my, backups (cough cough) I encode, I encode with Pro-Logic. I use my sound system for 99% music. And while my front speakers are abso-freakin-lutely amazing (Infinity IL40 towers), I can't bring myself to get upgrade my 25 year old Kenwood receiver which was top of the line during it's time (kr-v126r). It just sounds, and works, that good still.

I think I heard a couple weeks ago that the Pi is going to get an update and will handle HD material much better. I don't remember specifics though. Anybody heard this?
I'm currently using the raspberrypi as a mediacenter using xbian and it works flawless. I bought a cheap external hdd case (had an old hdd lying around) and hooked it to my pi.
Formatted as ext4 it can handle 9GiB 720P movies without any hassle. I've also tried a 25gb 1080p rip, but that was a little too much. (though it was still very watchable)
Samba transfer speeds are around 8-9mb/s so it will take a little longer to put your movies on the pi. Usenet/torrent speeds cap at around 3.5-4mb/s (on a 80mbit connection).
Same results on my PI. Can't actually play 1080p HD perfectly, but can do 720p just fine. Leveraging something like h264 I can watch 1080p perfectly.
Mine handles 1080p sources fine so long as they are less than about 6gb in size. More than that and I get a lot of buffering as I'm running over wifi. I haven't noted if it is related to audio encoding or not, but I'm sure that DTS will have a negative impact as well.
My projector is only 720p, so I don't consider this a big issue given the cost of the RPi.
I'm running OpenELEC. It occassionally freezes, but it handles the 1080p files slightly better than the JB ATV2, which also had crashing problems. The UI is more responsive on the RPi.

Is there a way in which this setup can upscale the video rate from my moderately less sized 720p mkv rips as 1080p to my Sony led TV? If so can you post a link please?

For me 1080p works perfectly with raspbmc when playing bigbuckbunny
1080p works well on my pi running raspbmc. However, it did have some issues with certain codecs, with some sound syncing issues. But all in all the thing is fantastic as a small media center.
Sent from my Amaze 4G using xda app-developers app
I've used my rPi to play both 720 and 1080 and find it can under the right circumstances do both very well. The issue I came across with 1080 was more the fact the file was on a different device streaming to it via Wifi and ended up buffering a lot.
Does anyone know if as part of the update process they will start DVD ISO support? Or if it already exists? Overall absolutely love it as a media box, but there are still a lot of issues with codec support.
I've run xbmc for years.......big tip for anyone use openelec for pi doesn't skip a beat at all. All media handled on wired lan not a single issue.....for the record that includes 1080 24p

The i stands for interlaced, and it's not really 1080 resolution; it's about more like 2 540p images overlayed. Basically 1080p is sharper and 1080i is a bootlegged 1080p.

YouTube 6.0 update! Now has 1440p and on screen pause buttons!

Agree, works on stock rooted ROM. Don't know why potatomanwrl is having difficulty unless he is not searching for
and watching 2k/4k video or changing the video quality settings to 1440p?
I'm not rooted, but I did search for and find 2k and 4k videos, when I try to change quality, 720p is max offered. I'm also using the T707A. So maybe it just won't work yet for my device.

Well it might be your model? Is your tablet from att? I never though that some LTE devices could have issues having quality changing. But it could be just your model tablet having issues.

great thanks
for some reason videos finally seem smoother with this version of Youtube
now to get Netflix etc to be smooth on Android - the frame drops/lags do my head in - wheras our 2 Ipads (even the Ipad 3) are smooth as silk with same content

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could watch 1440p already with the old version? But it's cool, that the buttons are visible again.​

ref smoothness - how strange - I get judders/frame drops in pans, sometimes in sudden movement etc as well - in particular with Netflix but seemingly with most streaming "flash" content
yet "local" 1080p content is smooth as silk
I've tried connecting via 5G as well as normal N to no difference
its not the network connection - buffer fine - and Ipads streaming from same router
just in comparison the Ipads video is much smoother in frame rate - perhaps its something that some people notice and others not - because as I said I get the same issue with my Exynos Tab S as I do with my Snapdragon 800 Note 3 - in fact in some films on my Note 3 (Transformers was one) - the break-up was bad enough to cause a glitch in the sound - if you rewound - you'get the same breakup in same place every time - yet not with IOS - it was almost like the CPU or GPU maxing out - I tried forcing 2D GPU etc settings in developer options to no avail
YMMV I guess

I think it was because majority experiencing dropped frames when watching it. So probably got listed as being incompatible with 1440p+ HDR streams.
Work around would be to use Chrome:

For regular (non HDR) you still have that option. Try finding a HDR video and you are capped at 1080p. 2k/4k options are not available anymore in the app for HDR content.
Ok... I wasted hours on trying to fix this.
By coincidence it started when I started playing with the app resolution in Gamtuner.
I ended up wiping the whole phone - twice.
Second time without restoring any backup.
Downloaded latest APK from Aptoide in the end
Then consulted XDA
Always look up XDA first...
Btw. Search I the app to look only in the Note 8 thread... non existent or can't I just find it?
Looks like this is due to the 1440p 60fps issue with the Note 8. - 1080p 60fps works without dropped frames with Note 8, but Note 8 has been having problems with 1440p 60fps dropping frames. This is my believe why Google (YouTube) stopped supporting 1440p 60fps with the Note 8.
Google (YouTube) is still supporting 1440p at lower frames per second (30fps), when available, with the Galaxy Note 8.
Hopefully there will be a solution in the near future that Google (YouTube) can support 1440p 60fps with the Note 8.
Slightly off topic, is it normal for YouTube on mobile device to have some many adverts? I ask because I normally watch YouTube from chrome browser on a PC. Was shocked how the Note 8 YouTube app appears to be bloated with more adverts, some even appear every few minutes while watching a video.

I don't know, since I have YouTube Red with my Play Music subscription.
