nope its also not working. MX Player Pro is hands down the best player for android. its running the videos but with stutter. im sure this Exynos ****SET is the culprit here.
thats the reason why i and millions of other people like Snapdragon chipsets. they at least work great with great battery life and everything optimized. not like samsung. i might sell this crap soon getting only 3 hours of screen on time. and its just box opened brand new tablet. SAMSUNG DISAPPOINTED ME AGAIN, AND ITS THE LAST TIME I GOT SAMMY ****!

I think the exynos is great. I get great performance and battery life.

Did you try changing it from HW to SW. May help.

As far as I know Exynos doesn't support hardware rendering of 4k video (only 2.5k).

How do you know which is which?

How can you tell which chipset you have? I was told this had a 4k screen and I intend to use it soon.

Use an app called CPUZ. It can tel you your device info and chipset.

Chipsets?

So I have the Exynos Processor. How many different chipsets are there in the SM-T800? why would they make more than 1 kind under the same model? What are the main differences between them?
I know noobish but I would like to know. Thanks

We only have 2K screen... 2560x1600... if you download your videos in 2560x1440 they work flawless... 4K video will give you stutter no matter which player you use on this device... I've tried a bunch of them.

I tried playing a few 4k videos on my SM-T800 galaxy tab s 10.5 (exynos) and for every file it stutters.
I've tried MX player - but it defaults to S/W decoding since H/W decoding isn't supported. Even though the format is H/W supported (H264), it just doesn't allow H/W decoding at these resolutions.
BS Player defaults to S/W too, as it shows 'S/W' when it displays the player properties.
Is there no current solution? Do we just sit and wait for H/W support to be enabled in the near future - or is it just too hardware intensive on the Exynos that no one will bother.

Can somebody explain why you are playing 4k video`s on a 2k+ tablet, is it just to see if they play correctly, are they just clips, a full 4k movie must be a big file.
I use the free handbrake software on my notebook, to convert and movies or series mostly animi to nHD which is 640x360 if i am going to keep them on my tablet, the higher the video resolution the more power the tablet needs to use to display them, so not only are 4k video are huge, they use a lot of battery life to play.
John.

It's just to see if the device can actually play 4k, and to see if hardware encoding even makes a difference.
Given that 4k will be more prevalent in the future, it's just testing to see if it will be able to handle the larger bitrates/files.
Most of my 4k clips are only about 2-4 minutes in length.

I wish my 10.5" could play in hardware the new h.265 format, as the video files can be up to half the size of the current h.264 version for the same quality, but it cannot, so it will have to be played back in software mode, oh well you cannot have everything, maybe it will take a while for H.265 to catch on.
John.

Yes. Freezing temporarily. I can not believe that no solution. Note 3 has same cpu, I look its forum but nothing found.

Netflix/HULU/Google Play mov only play in SD (480p), any solution to get HD playback?

So, basically every streaming service I have tried only play back in SD, not HD. Is this a common issue for the S2? Is there any way to get it to work in HD?
I hate to say it but if not this might be going back to BestBuy today :/
Thanks!

Netflix works fine in HD here. Is your subscription set up for HD?

Sure am. Can you verify that HD works with this link? Should play a stream that tells you what resolution and bitrate you are actually seeing. Mine stays at 720x480, while my Nexus 7 shows 1920x1080. Bitrates are 1750 vs 5000+ respectively.

Oh, also, I am on the 8.0" WiFi US model if that matters.

Looks like I found my answer. The tablet is not on the Netflix HD list. So I guess none of them can play it.

i already brought this up in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/help/netflix-hd-tab-s2-t3274295 . I'm quite angry since the tab s2 is marketed as an ipad air 2 competitor and it doesnt support full HD streaming. If you want to find out more about the certification process just google netflix android HD DRM. The thing is, the tablet has to be certified by Netflix. I know for a fact, that the SoC, the Exynos 5433, supports widevine Level 1 DRM technology (basically the lowest is level 3 which wouldn't be enough for HD) and HDCP 1.x which also should be enough for HD streaming. Youtube support 1080p60 videos so it's definitely not a performance issue of hardware. I suspect that the unlocked bootloader is a problem for the content providers, so if Samsung was to lock the bootloader and renegotiate with Netflix or at least ask what exactly is missing for it to be certified and add that through an update. I mean we pay for a premium tablet and a premium service, we should get what we pay for. I made contact with Netflix and Samsung, they said they would look into it. Quite curious if they actually do something, i'm still hoping! If this is an issue for you, feel free to contact themselves, so this problem can be solved, though I guess it's mostly Samsung that has to do something with the next update.

I'm also only getting 480p on Netflix, but on my unrooted, KNOX-not-tripped, SM-T810, it has no trouble achieving Widevine Level 1 DRM:
Code:
2622 WVCdm D Instantiating CDM.
2622 WVCdm I CdmEngine::QueryStatus
2622 WVCdm I Level3 Library Dec 11 2014 16:13:16
2622 WVCdm W Could not read /data/mediadrm/IDM1013/ay64.dat2: No such file or directory
2622 WVCdm D OEMCrypto_Initialize Level 1 success. I will use level 1.
2622 WVCdm I L3 Terminate.
Google Play, on the other hand, is able to achieve Level 1 as well and streams HD just fine (noticeably better quality than Netflix, even with Google's way-too-high compression). Maybe HD is being blocked on Netflix's side? They've blocked "unsupported" devices based on the device name in the past.

This device is more than able to run HD video on netflix and hulu. However I ran across an issue where I had to delete the following file for hulu to work at all. Worth a try for those of you who are rooted. Just make a backup first.
I deleted this file and hulu works.

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

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.

Netflix on the OnePlus 7 Pro [DISCUSSION]

I would like to make this into a discussion, the topic is Netflix content on the OnePlus 7 Pro and any other smartphone with a HDR Netflix certification.
Here are my thoughts:
As we all know, the OP7 Pro made it on the list of Netflix HDR HD supported devices. What does this mean? If you don't unlock the bootloader (or use a modded version of Netflix) you will not be able to watch that "crisp" high definition HDR content on your phone. I am okey with that, it's a choice everybody can make. What I do not like at all is how Netflix advertises their HD content towards people who own devices like the OnePlus 7 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S10 etc, devices with good, QHD+ resolution displays. Why? You might have noticed that Netflix never mentioned the term "FHD, QHD, UHD", only "SD, HD, HDR". They keep talking about a mobile cinema experience thanks to HDR on your mobile device, which does include tablets by the way, without telling the users that even though they own a device that can can display a high pixel count like the OnePlus 7 Pro. To give you a comparison, this is what your OnePlus 7 Pro can actually show versus what Netflix allows the consumer to see:
OnePlus 7 Pro (3120 x 1440)
4.49 Million*Pixels (4492800 to be precise)
High Definition HDR Content (1280 x 720)
0.92 Million Pixels ( 921600 pixels)
That is the maximum resolution Netflix sends to your phone, not a single pixel more than that. Is HDR nice to have? Yes it is, it's a good compromise when it comes to image quality and the amount of data. Am I, a consumer who pays 16$ per month for the UHD Netflix subscription disappointed? Hell yeah. 5G is coming this year and Netflix decides that tHe hUmAn eYe cAn't sEE aBoVe 720p 29.99FPS. Jokes aside, I think that it is time that they allow higher resolution for mobile devices, I don't need 4K right away on a screen where I can't even see that many pixels, but I did some testing and compared two 720p Netflix streamed movies to a 1080p non-HDR and a 4K offline version (18GB file from a BluRay) and even though 720p HDR might look pretty close to 1080p non-HDR it definetly can't compete with content which can use the screens full potentíal. And considering that 5G is already or almost here, depending on your region, it would be very sad if Netflix decided not to offer content in 1440p or even UHD for smartphones and tablets.
What are your thoughts? Share them with us!

Maybe it's not due to HDR but I was comparing streams of an episode of Bodyguard on Netflix on my 7 Pro and Note 9, both full brightness, playing at the same time and I have to say the 7 Pro blows the Note 9 out of the water. I could see more details from the shadows on the 7 pro but both streams definitely looked Full HD at least.

Netflix offers a few test video files which can go up to 4K, you can check which resolution is actually the highest for your device

Is there any indication where it tells your it's playing in HDR?

Yeah, if HDR content is playing. Phones (I only have Samsung and OnePlus to check) will change their color profile to natural. So if you set it to something like vibrant, then exit a HDR video then you will see color looks very different form vibrant profile.

What I hate is the fact that they allow 1080p on iPhones but not on android anymore. I say anymore because Im pretty sure Netflix with 4.x.x something suporrted 1080p streaming. For what ever reason they removed it. Just be like YouTube and let me select the resolution ffs. I don't even pay for YouTube yet they have better support for HD content.

Seems that it doesn't really matter (at least to me). My eyes can see some great detail in people's faces and other objects on my phone's display. To my eyes, that's plenty of HD to me. *shrugs*
I checked my FF browser and it's showing full HD. That's actually where I watch 90% of my Netflix (and Amazon) streams, anyway. But this is an interesting topic, nonetheless.

After Netflix removed the ctrl-alt-shft-s command for no apparent reason than a big F-you to its customers, I will return to piracy before I upgrade to 4K/HDR from my current FHD plan. Without that command to lock in bit-rate even 1080P is iffy on my 100 Mb fiber connection. I hope the Disney+/Hulu or Warner/HBO/ATT plan is competitive because Netflix is really starting to piss me off.
Back on topic, does HDR really make a big difference on a tiny screen?

No way and probably won't happen.
There are movies in 1080 you can watch on OP7P on Netflix. They are encoded using VP9 and Netflix said they are slowly encoding more movies to be available in 1080 on mobile.

Yes, L1 is restored when u relock bootloader. So you can have HD Netflix again

Don't do it. After dinner research if you try and lock your bootloader after the OS s been modified you'll brick your phone.

If you flash back to stock then relock your bootloader you will have L1 back. Do not relock without out being completely stock though or you will perma brick.

Just DON'T FLASH PERSIST.IMG , that will break the L1 forever , I did that , and even when the support restored stock , the L1 was gone .

It annoys me, I want to watch movies and TV series in good quality. So I give them money for a subscription expecting proper quality in return, but I get Full HD? I don't know. I used to watch very few soap operas, because I worked a lot. But during last year's quarantine, I switched to working remotely. And then there was a lot of time. I didn't have the money for paid subscriptions, and so I went to 123 movies. The platform surprised me with its picture and sound quality, there is a very high picture resolution.

Question S8+ HDR10 for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video & Disney+

Hi all, about to purchase the S8+ but would like to get confirmation on how the S8+ performs on these three streaming apps. Does it deliver HDR on all three, or just full HD? Concerned as seeing Netflix forums changing woodvine levels on various tablets. Thanks!

Can't give you an answer for APV or Disney+, but the Tab S8+ does indeed support full HD playback and has Widevine Level 1. It also has support for HDR10+. I have a rooted S8+ and I enjoy full HD content on it regularly.

Thanks SavXL. And in Netflix can you watch in HDR or just full HD? Just trying make sure I'll get most out of the screen

It only shows the max resolution as full HD for me.

Side note, i do not think anyone adapted HDR10+ outside of Amazon.
The thing about HDR+ is that it is heavily supported by Samsung and Amazon, as a gimmick against DolbyVision. From what i know, which may have changed, you wont get HDR10+ from Netflix, Apple TV and Disney+.
