Netflix apk - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Can someone get the Netflix apk from the note 8 for Netflix? You probably have to get it from the samsung store if it isn't pre-installed. It would be nice to see if it works in HDR on the S8 and tab 3.
Thanks

It uses the normal apk from the play store.

If you also didn't know you have to have the 4k streaming subscription to get hdr which I believe is 12$

Can I stream the video that play in MXPLAYER to chromecast?

I am interesting in this little thing but before I buy it I have several questions that I need to understand.
I heared that chromecast only support few apps. The most reason that I want to buy it is that I want to stream movie(720/1080P MKV) that I use MXPLAYER as player to my HDTV. Does it come true??? If it can work, will audio delay ???
Not yet, first google must allow other apps to work with the Chromecast then the developer of the app should make his app compatible with the CC protocols. Maybe in a few weeks/days this will be possible.

You should be able to open the file with chrome and tab cast the video... Works well for me. I would imagine many apps will add support soon as stated above.

Beyond 720p resolution

I've been pondering if I should get a Note 3 or Note 4. Playing with the Note 3 at the store I realized the youtube app doesn't support 1080p and I´m assuming Note 4 is the same and no way in heck for 4K(downscaled to QHD) for the Note 4, is that about correct? Is it the same if I go to youtube in the anrdoid browser and not in the youtube app? If so there is pretty much much no easy way to watch full quality new trailers without some hacked youtube apps, correct?
LG G3 seems to be the only one where youtube supports beyond 720
The YouTube app does support 1080p and above regardless of what phone you are using. You just need to select a video that is uploaded in the resolution you want

You won't be getting a lot of 4k streaming content anytime soon. Plus, the amount of space it would take up on your phone would be crazy. You will get the clarity when using apps, some games, etc.

If I´m just streaming it and not storing it, it shouldn't take a lot of space should it. YouTube has quite a few 4K vidoes. But it's more not even being able to see any 1080p videos and trailers that I find absurd.

You can select res in YouTube.
BTW, watching HD1080P stuff on the Note 4 still looks sharp, just watched a bunch of vids I took with my S3 and S4.
Checked a bunch of videos on the note 3 on the YouTube app, none go above 720. Checked them on my laptop and had options of 1080p.
The old YouTube app supported 1080 and 1440(I'm using it just now) however it appears to have been removed in the newer versions of the app. You can uninstall the Youtube updates in the applications page and then install the old app version which supports 1440 (it's on the XDA forums somewhere,I think on the G3 forum). I'm sure Google will sort it out soon as they have the QHD Nexus 6 coming out.
I'm using the latest version am I have 1080p option on both my note 4 and note pro12.2.

1080p is available in the latest version of YouTube on GS4.
Very odd. Note 3 exynos international is the version.
Can someone maybe please post a link to a YouTube video that you can get in 1080p and I will can see what the phone does?
Go to anything by mkbhd

Some of the latest versions have a lot of the resolutions (including all above 720p) disabled for some strange reason!
You can uninstall and reinstall an old version of the apk if you want to get them back.

Downloading 3D YouTube Vids?

Looked all over in the play store and online to no avail, at least anything that works good to download the videos from YouTube in high quality 1080p with the audio intact, so I can play them on my Gear VR. Any suggestions on a program or website I might be missing? Thanks.

Try YTD Video downloader, it can download youtube videos in highest quality up to 4k (if the source video provides that).
Thanks!
TubeMate has been working for me on Android, I download some 3D content from YouTube then move it into the proper directory on the sdcard and it works good.

Where is my Netflix 4k?

I don't see 4k as an option in my Netflix app and the HDR videos, the blacks aren't black. It's like grey. I'm confused. I have data usage to Max, I've reinstalled the app, I have 110 mbps down with Comcast.
Is this all by design?
I think it is region and content dependant, I dont see it in my samsung tv either,
Pardon me for asking but what's the point of 4K content when you dont have a 4K display?
I didn't think Netflix content would show available as 4K unless the app detects a 4K screen which the Note doesn't have .Same as their television apps.

You have to subscribe to 4k content as well.

According to this site Note 8 has "3K Higher Resolution 2960 x 1440" & it is certified by the "UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, which allows it to play all of the latest content produced for 4K UHD Premium TVs" it means it is HDR ready I can clearly see a difference between HD & HDR content on Netflix and on downloaded videos!
But tell me why Netflix is incompatible with my device?
I have Netflix istalled on my phone and one time when I opened it the app was asking for update. Took me straight from Netflix to Play store and there it said something "This app is incompatible with your device". After that I couldn't even find Netflix from Play anymore.
I got stock international Exynos version, N950F/DS

Rooted ? If it's the case, don't look further... And install Netflix from apkmirror

To be honest, watching 4K downscaled instead of 1080p upscaled on a 3K display kinda makes sense, at least. But the HDR is a top argument, enough said.
I'm not even that mad at the resolution. It might actually be showing in 3k but just not labeled as so. I'm more made I'm getting a washed out black level when watching HDR. That's the opposite of HDR. Complete opposite. If you watch your nav bar right as it switches to HDR Netflix you can see it turn from black to grey almost. Why Netflix, why.

Or showing it wrong. It's labeled HDR and does look very bright and colorful. The blacks are wrong and sometimes the highlights are a tad off. Like on skin. Can anybody test and confirm this grey black effect?
Dud you try to switch Screen Mode to AMOLED Cinema to see if it makes any difference?
No difference. Still makes the blacks turn grey.
In Brazil too don't work HDR in Galaxy Note 8 and my speed internet is 100mb I try contact support Netflix but they don't know way don't work.

Has anyone seen HDR working on their phone?

Hi,
Anybody had HDR working on their phone? I have a hdr moniker in both Amazon prime and Netflix, but neither actually play back in HDR. Also there is no difference between HDR on/off in pubg mobile. I'm starting to wonder if this phone is capable.
Yup. I see it working in Netflix. Also the phone came pre loaded with an hdr 10 sample video which does work.
