problems with YouTube hdr playback - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have tried searching to see if anyone is having the same problem and really no luck. So my 1440p HDR 60 is super slow. Looks like a fast slideshow. Not smooth at all. Regular 1440p 60 is great. Used the game tuner app to enable fps on YouTube but didn't show anything useful. Anyone having this problem?

[Q] Video - Slow Motion quality

Question guys - to enable you to slow certain scenes in a video you need to select the slow motion video scene...fair enough.
Should this in turn reduce the quality of the video?
I could be wrong, but before I went to a custom ROM, I am fairly sure the video quality remained the same as normal. Now as soon as I record in slow motion, it reduces the quality.

hello there
yes it will reduce the quality ...
best regards
I noticed that too with mine. Horrible isn't it? You also get reduced quality with 60fps. You get verticals lines. I gave up and stuck to 30fps.

Slow Motion = Low Resolution
I saw that HTC video doing a slow motion video of a man doing fire/flame stunt. Actually I was amazed and got excited that I wanted to try that Slow motion on my own with something else like a sprinkler maybe.
So I found one at a park and as soon as I started shooting the video (slow motion video under video settings) WTH!!!! The resolution dropped to something like 768x432 and its a bite pixellated, not true HD (1080p) which I thought I'd expect just like from the HTC video... Yes you can trim/edit the video that's cool but I was hoping for 1080p HD quality
I hoped HTC would come with an update that can maximize its camera features up to 1080p resolution. oh well..

Well I guess is impossible because the Snapdragon 600 doesn't support the record of 1080p videos at 120fps :\
I'm on stock 4.2.2 and I've recorded this slow motion clip a week ago (don't forget to turn on HD when viewing it). The quality seems fine to me.
Yeah. The quality is awfull. The slow motion video from the the device with the man in the night eith fire from his mouth is years ahead bettrr than the ones we can record... But why HTC ?!

some info on this please?
hello guys. i'm sorry for this little derailing question but it was the only thread i found:
i'm currently digging into slo-mo available in latest phones.
i just saw some HTC ONE samples and i was very disappointed from the low resolution.
i was particularly impressed with the new Iphone 5S 120 FPS real 720P feature. it really looks 720 and not upscaled like the fake 720p NOTE 3 slo-mo. however i cannot use iphone anymore due to the small screen.
so from this thread i gather the faster frame limitation is by the processor itself? (snapdragon 600-800? what's the 720P limit?)
i am willing to wait until an Android phone will have a usable 720 slo-mo..
so what hardware could provide this? as i can see nowdays, the latest android phones cannot do it (not the NOTE 3 or the G2 which doesn't even have slo-mo to begin with).
my choice now are either wait for a phone that will (maybe the next HTC?), or wait till apple make a bigger phone (cannot stand the small screen).
your thoughts on this?
thanks.

[Q] 1440p Video On Youtube?

can anyone confirm if youtube plays videos at 1440p on the N6? my note4 only goes to 1080p and am thinking of trading for the nexus, and this may help make the decision.

It should work but it depends on whether the particular video lists it as an option

I only see 1080P as the highest option. I read somewhere that YouTube removed anything higher then 1080p from the app
Well that's my question. Does the YouTube player have the 1440p option? On my note 4 the highest option available is 1080p but there is a hack where changing the build prop to 5.0 allows the 1440p option. I would prefer not to do this though as it's being reported it breaks s-note

I can confirm. I tried this video here http://youtu.be/p56_y43UuEk and there's no option for 1440
I can also confirm. Received my N6 today and the youtube app does not have any options for anything above 1080p even if the video is 1440p or higher. All you need is the updated apk from this post. It works in 1440p perfectly. http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2mxo74/youtube_5185_has_2k/
Do you think you can actually see the difference? Don't mean to sound like a ****, just curious. Lol
Yeah i can absolutely tell a difference. Try it.

No 60fps youtube videos on note 5?

I'm unable to play 60fps videos on youtube with my new Note 5. I've cleared cache/data. I've removed youtube updates and reapplied them. I don't even see an option for 60fps on known supported videos. My old S4 plays them just fine though. Any idea?
Were you able to fix your issue? I still can't view 60fps on my note 5

I have a Verizon Note 5 and I can watch 60 fps videos up to 1080p...1440p at 60 fps is not an option for me. Do you not have the option for 60 fps at all?
I edited my edge+ to SM-G925F (normal S6 edge) and that worked perfectly
Good luck!
cant edit the build prop, im not rooted. any other way to fix this?
Any solution for non rooted devices ?

Lag when playing HDR videos in YouTube

So I've watched a few 4K videos, and I've watched a few 4K 60 frames per second videos, and both of those seem to work pretty well on this unlocked Note 8. However when I actually try to watch the HDR videos I get some pretty significant lag and choppiness, even when watching 1080p HDR. Does anybody else see this happening on their device?

You're not the only one
I too am having an issue in YouTube on the Note 8 wherre anything played back above 720p60 HDR becomes super slow and unwatchable in terms of something thats supposed to be 60fps. If you stick to 720p60 HDR for now you won't have that problem. Hopefully Google pushes out an update for YouTube asap
LG V30 stutter at 1080p HDR and above
I am experiencing the same problem too, my New LG v30 has the same issue. My internet speed is over 200mbps and I experience lag like crazy. I called Google about it and they said it is an issue on several devices and should be fixed in the coming months.
I have the same problem. Huge lag and audio sync lag when viewing videos in HDR
US unlocked note 8 , and no troubles here watching HDR. No lag or stuttering. Can you link a specific video and I can try that and let you know what happens.

Ok, unless I am doing something different, I still can not get it to stutter or have audio sync issues. I have watched Marco polo on Netflix that is supposed to be 4khdr. I have watch almost all 4k Samsung demos on you tube. I have 100 mbps internet going to a 5ghz wireless router,and sir about 20 ft from it. I can't find the setting in Netflix app to set 2160p , but can find settings in YouTube. I will keep trying.

In youtube you should see 2160p hdr settings otherwise no real hdr i think

I've watched that video just now (plus other 4K HDR videos on YouTube) in 1440p settings and I get zero lag anywhere. I've got an exynox Indonesian Note 8, watching on a WiFi connection that is originally only 30mbps then routed through a tp-link powerline router (max 10mbps).

No lag on this video but i dont see it being indicated as HDR just 1440P, I think we might need to add more details when testing. I suggest everyone who claims smooth/stuttery enable stats for nerds on youtube and make sure to report if the video format shows 2560x1440 ( as sometimes youtube will still display 1080p even if you have 1440p selected ) and then mention if its 1440p, 1440p HDR or 1440p60 HDR.
A good example is to try this video and make sure video format shows 2560x1440

There is a very minor stuttering especially if you are sensitive to it, I asked someone do a blind test on me on a random scene on the clip and 10/10 I was able to tell it correctly. The stuttering is not buffering related. But Im glad that you are not sensitive to the stuttering. I was able to also test this 4 snapdragon variants and 2 on exynos all of which had same results. I think this is a bug on the player as it only stutters when playing in full screen.
Exynos India version and yes, even i observed this stuttering last night. Its quite annoying though. Let me know if you guys find any solution.

It has to say 1080 HDR or 1440 HDR for the stutter if it does not say HDR then you are not watching at the same quality as us with the issue.
Watched it after I turned on nerd stats , 1440p60hdr setting, and sorry to report, it was quite smooth. The colors were vibrant and scenes with the sunlight were quite realistic.

I'm glad i'm not alone. Youtube crashed and restarted my phone too. Have had the phone for 1 month and happened twice. I think it's an app problem at this point

Huawei P20 Pro - 4k Footage with software stabilization (video included)

Hi Guys,
Just thought I share with you footage of some software stabilization of some 4k footage from my P20 Pro.
We all know that the stabilization on 4K mode is non existent (not even EIS) but adobe premiere can work wonders
Remember to set quality to 4K within YouTube
Let me know what you think
That works pretty well. Some odd effects from the software though, made it look like things were made of jelly when the camera moved.

Yes - Slightly
Might try to dial it down a small amount and then seeing the result
Hello,
I'm using Google Photo to stabilize my 4k video, and it works pretty well!
Could you do a test to compare the results?
Open your original video with Google Photos, then go to setting, "Stabilize" and save.
Thanks.

Will do a comparison over the weekend to see the difference.
If you use opencamera or ultracorder (hevc) at 3k resolution (3264x1840) then EIS works nicely, looks really smooth. Admitedly it's not 4k, but its still much better than 1080p. I'm currently using ultracorder at 36.7mbit maintier level6.2 with EIS enabled and it really does look nice.
Can you share your Ultracorder settings mate? It's crashing on mine. Cheers!

Sohail, have you compared google photos stabilisation with Premier?
After experimenting for a while with ultracorder I can get 3k to work fine as soon as I try EIS it crashes and I have to restart phone. Very interested to know what settings the guy who recommended the app is using?
