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.

Alright, as promised, the camera patch for all ROMs using the grouper blobs.
First of all, a very big thanks to @Adam77Root, cause without him, none of this would have been possible.
This patch allows the camera to use the old nvomx, which fixes the encoder issues. However, this breaks the hardware decoder of the stock gallery. And using software decoder, lags are inevitable. But, you can still play HD videos using MX player.
To revert this, either restore a system backup, re-flash your ROM or flash the "Cam_revert_patch.zip" from the Attachment.
@ROM devs, please don't include this patch into your ROMs, but rather link to this thread. Not being able to use the read hw decoder can cause confusion and false bug reports, which is why I want people to read this first, before using the patch
Good idea!
tested the patch, works wonderfully. thank you!
As above working flawlessly as it should good work you are one step to make everything fully working

Can anyone test Skype videocall? Because for me it doesn't work, it gives me the same error as without the patch (green screen instead of the video). I can record videos though.
Also it works with the new omni buils (the ones reverted to old blobs) and all other official roms that use old blobs.
qr decoding/skype still doesn't work - this is just a fix for video recording
I would really like a revert patch, because I would like to install the patch when I want to take a video and simply uninstall it when I want to use the gallery.
I also add that this patch breaks Youtube app

Of course, it breaks almost all video decoding stuff, especially YT. This is why don't want devs to include it into ROMs.
MX player is more-less the only exception
in addition the recorded Videos are really "not good". The framerate is not stable. One video I recorded has 13 fps, the next 22 fps. Stable 25fps seems not possible.
So I would really appreciate a revert patch, dont want to flash all the rom again

What's your recorded resolution?
About the revert patch, I'm on it
I recorded in 1080p H.264 with LED on and USB connected. Video was saved on internal storage.

Will do some troubleshooting tomorrow, gonna let you know if I find anything
Alright, as already mentioned HERE, we have a new way to switch between video playing and recording, a more "on the go" version
For details and how to use it, please take a look into the linked post
Now, some more explanation, the new patch "nameless_patchV2" is not only for nameless, but all ROMs built using p880-dev's android-4.4 branch, such as NamelessROM, Omni, Thinkingbridge, ...
Just flash the patch and you can switch blobs as explained.
The patch for CM11 (the cm-11.0 branch) is in the making
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
hi guys, I have a strange problem with youtube for a few days, pinch to zoom does not work anymore even if I had done that trick deleting cache of the phone, you also have this problem?
Last night the camera button also gave me to create a live video, no longer today, crazy youtube or my notes?
I have recently received an OTA, FEB. 686 mb, I have a youtube app prior to latest, pinch to zoom works, but only a very little zoom, and gif making is available

Perhaps we have misunderstood ourselves, I have never had problems about gif making and I do not understand why you are talking about this.
my problem is only youtube, can you kindly tell me which version of youtube are you using?
I understood fine, I was trying to say that MAYBE the combination of software update AND youtube version is what is not working well in your case, I am using youtube 13.03.58
The latest ver I was running was 13.01.53 & never had an issue with fit-to-screen/pinch-to-zoom. YT along with Maps are apps that I don't like to always update to the latest version when released. Buggy sometimes in my experience.
I'm currently running iYTPBP 12.49.55 with no issues either. I'll never go back to stock YT again.
Hello there! I have been having the EXACT problem as you. Go to the Play Store, then on the Youtube app page. Uninstall it. It will just uninstall the updates and stick to the version of the app that comes with the latest build of your phone. (Which is a very recent one). In this one, the Pinch to Zoom works normally.
Once a new update is out fixing this issue, just let the Play Store update your app as usual.
Regards
thanks guys, after the v suggestions, I did an experiment, I found an old version of youtube on the net, I uninstalled youtube updates and I installed the old version, the problem disappeared, after I updated youtube and now pinch to zoom works.
a mysterious thing, during these operations in the old version I appeared only once for a chance to make live video (streaming from the phone), but when I reopened the application was gone, youtube does not want to give us the streaming.
Good for you man! It is good to see when somebody has success fixing some issue!
Hello Everyone,
A few days ago, I purchased the Redmi Note10s, which worked very fine in every aspect of the smartphone, but I've found issues of video rendering in apps like YouTube and others even in 1080P.
But The Strange thing is that while playing the same video on the youtube website using Firefox browser it renders perfectly and Amazing.
Below I've attached the screenshot of the same video playing in those two different apps.
YOUTUBE:
As You'll see below the SS of the YouTube Sample is Over sharped and isn't pleasing to the eyes
FIREFOX:
In the samples of Firefox, it renders the way we want with perfect colours and sharpening.
Is this problem with Software or GPU rendering, I don't know. If anyone having this phone please share your opinions or thoughts on this, and also let me know if anyone facing the same issue.
P.S: this is my first post on XDA community, hoping XDA community will help with this problem.
i have the same issue ... i sent it to mi store to check it up for a few days and they said it was alright ...
i also checked another note 10 s device in the store .. it has the same issue
the issue exist in youtube and google chrome ....
not sure if its a software issue that will be fixed or bad qc
since u posted 20 days ago .. did u do anything about this issue ?
I have come across the thing called video decoding, which is done mainly by GPU or processor. In our phone, a MediaTek processor is used which is using a technology called MiraVision to render the HDR video which causing the issue while playing video in lower quality like 480P. Some solutions I found on Reddit is saying to disable the hardware overlays to solve the issue, as this problem already faced by redmi note 8 users. But didn't solve our issue.
But idk why I'm used to this as video of 720P is much sharper and feels good now
i kinda like it although it might have to do something with miravision
best is to ask people using realme 7 and redmi note 8

It maybe an issue with MiUI's VP9 renderer (VP9 is a new codec developed by Google as a free alternative to HEVC ,or H265).
The codec is used by default by YouTube since it offers higher compression compared to previously used H264 codec (AVC).
The codec is all fine, and it is absolutely recommended to use it since it offers better clarity and saves data at the same time.
The problem is with MiUI's VP9 rendering algorithm which is over-sharpening the video. I suggest you to contact Xiaomi to fix the issue, and disable VP9 in YouTube Vanced for time being.
If the above solution didn't work, you may try changing the decoder in MX Player [Try all 3 decoders - HW, HW+, and SW.]
If you don't observe any changes, use the mx_aio custom codec.

Pls reply if this worked or not, so that others would benefit.
Has this been fixed? is it even fixable via firmware updates?
As far as i know the Redmi Note 8 Pro has the same problem and still has it to this day
I was going to pick this phone up for my mother by this is definitely a turn off

try chaging the codec override in vanced setting , also to enable extra options in the override menu tap many times on about to unlock hidden setting
Begonia user here. .as for most possible fix
change "ro.vendor.mtk_pq_support" from 2 to 0 (in Vendor/Build.prop)
*well, it need root access to do that.
I also have the same problem on JMGO O1 projector. Every time I play another video I have to go into settings and adjust the sharpness, from 0 to 1 then back to 0.
