Youtube resolution - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] MediaCoder preset for encoding videos

Hi all
I want to know if someone has a working preset for encoding videos in mediacoder for galaxy s? I have looked over the threads on mediacoders forums but there seems to be only one working preset and that one is just copied settings from a 720p recording from the camera (which is not designed for viewing on the SGS because the resolution doesn't match the sgs's screen for starters). I need something that gives the best picture and sound for the least amount of space.

Note+CM9 1080p recording slit or bar

Have only seen this in ICS and specifically mostly CM9, don't remember before that.
I was running imilka's port of the S2 branch of CM9 to the note and now the nightly build from xplodwild.
When I shoot video upto 480p the vid is covers the whole screen, but the moment I switch to 720 or 1080p it crops it by about 30% or so and even the output video is the same, which is quite weird.
Anyone else seen this and maybe knows of a fix, not too big a pain but would like this sorted, don't mind using 3rd party recording apps if that is the only fix.
Did try searching around but didn't find anything really relevant.

[Q] Changing Camera Available Resolutions

Hello Guys,
After searching all around I have not been able to find a solution for my problem. I am streaming video to youtube live, the problem is the phone shows 640x368 as the available resolution and youtube asks for 640x360 which is the standard resolution, and therefore rejects my stream.
I have tried 2 different software for streaming, but both of them only show the available resolutions, they can not modify the picture at all.
Is there any way I could change the available camera resolutions withing the ROM?
I am using Android Revolution HD 51.0

Can your P9 play high-framerate videos on YouTube app.

My P9 somehow can't play high-framerate videos on YouTube (720p60, 1080p60).
So it decide to play best quality that is available, 480p.
The problem seem to cause by high-framerate since it play 720p30, 1080p30 just fine.
I ask others for the problem and some of them doesn't have the issues (some of them does).
Even we're running on the same P9 firmware version EVA-L19C636B168 and on the same YouTube version 11.29.53.
Anyone found the issues?
Sorry for my bad English.
With the youtube app without problems, the video starts at 480 but after some seconds when it get buffer plays at 1080p
pd. May be is possible that you must open the youtube menu (3 vertical buttons at top right) and select 1080p (or auto) in quality option.
There are no 720p60, 1080p60 in the quality option.
I also turn off Limit HD on mobile data as well.

Google photos can't play 4k video longer than a minute

Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?
Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.
For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.
If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.
Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem
Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.
@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.
I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.
I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.
Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)
Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.
