Any way I can play HD videos on my Hero? (including youtube ...)
modaco 2.8, if that helps.
Thanks!
By HD, I assume you mean HQ (high quality) as the resolution isn't good enough for 720p.
On the Youtube app, as the videos are loading press menu, then more and click on "watch in high quality"

is there a way of having youtube play in high quality all the time instead of
wifi - high quality
HSDPA - low quality
I can always select high quality manually in the MORE section. But it should be possible to set this as default? Even my Touch HD could do this
Maybe it is just a 0 or a 1 in some system setting...?
On a somewhat unrelated topic... Does anyone know of a way to make the Youtube app the default player for youtube videos? I mean, when I go to youtube in my browser, the videos open in the HTC Flash Player, but I'd prefer the Youtube app opened instead. Any ideas?
What resolution must i change 1080p video to to run it fullscreen HD on the Atrix, I tried 540x960 but that doesnt run full screen, and importing full 1080p, unsuprisingly, runs very slowly.
Thanks
What app are you using to play the videos? Also, in order to play HD videos smoothly, Tegra 2 requires Baseline profile H.264 whereas most HD videos use High profile H.264. These videos have to be re-encoded as baseline in order for playback to be smooth.
EDIT: Do you mean you get black bars on the top and bottom? What about the left and right?
im using MoboPlayer, and am getting black lines all around, so i guess its not the wrong ratio. what would re-encoding videos require on windows? i use handbreak on my mac, but i dont currently have that on me. also what would the highest resolution be that the atrix could handle well, it seems a shame to watch films like Transformers with a low quality image
thanks

Handbrake is on Windows and Mac so you're good to go there.
Using moboplayer to play.. mkv's? If you re-encode the video like above, you can use the stock video player which I guess is just called "Gallery" or "Video Player"... Otherwise, MX Video Player is capable. Both of these are able to use Tegra's hardware acceleration. I still get some stuttering on MX Video Player though so I recommend just using Gallery.
I have tried playing the 1920x1080 with different players; the preinstalled video player, Real Player, and Soul Player -but no success. I have HC 3.1 as the 3.2 is not yet available for my region. Thanks in advance!

I could play this res using DicePlayer and BSPlayer but both lag and out of audio/video sync!
I've been experimenting with this a lot, lately, and playing HD video remains a problem. While I haven't tried 1080p, 720p is already horrible. With every player I've tried (MX, Dice, Mobo, VPlayer, QQ, mVideo and probably more) there's some form of lag, and some don't even seem to have the capacity to start an HD video. So far, the player best capable of playing HD video seems to be DicePlayer, as suggested above. Also MX Video Player can manage some HD videos, with a proper setup.
If anyone else has suggestions for playing HD video, please tell them. I'm very interested to see if I missed any good players.
If you're looking to be able to play your average HD rip found on the internet you'll be sorely disappointed. If you encode your own though, it's easy to get good quality playback.
My best advice for good 720p video playback is to encode your own files with Handbrake using high profile with B-Frames turned off, CABAC entropy off, 8x8 transform off and weighted p-frames off. Set your max width to 1280 and let the height be whatever it needs to be depending on the source aspect ratio. I use either CQ of 22 or so or I'll go with a 2-pass encode using average bitrate in the 3-4k range. Resulting files play great in Dice Player with full hardware acceleration.
For those looking to play their already encoded 1080p material off of their LAN I don't know what to say; the device won't do it . . it's a limitation on tegra 2 that has specific codec settings supported and not all. Other than re-encoding all of your stuff the only other alternative for LAN playback would be to run a Plex media server on your LAN which is what I do at home. Quality wont be great but it will be watchable and at least you'll have access to your media.
I can't find anyone else with this problem, so I decided to come here where the professionals live.
My problem is that i'm 100% sure that this is an hd phone, as I've downloaded and played HD videos before, and the default background is HD. Whenever I run the youtube application, the maximum quality that i'm allowed to choose is 480p. Any help would be appreciated.
The resolution is qHD, youtube detects itself, so we cant have 720p on youtube.

Moto E 2015 has a 960x540 resolution screen. While the phone can handle playing higher-resolution video (I'm been able to play 1080p and 720p 10bit video in MX Player with no issues), the Youtube app limits to the resolution of your screen. Wish it at least gave the option for 720p, for the greater bitrate, but alas it's limited to 480p. Unofficial Youtube apps might give you all the resolution options, but I haven't tested out any to confirm.
Hi everyone,
Has anyone been able to stream 4K videos from Amazon?
Is there a way to tell what resolution the videos are that you are streaming from Amazon? Also how do I know if it is HDR? When I try to purchase movies from Amazon from my phone the highest resolution I can select is HD. (doesn't matter if what screen resolution I have the phone set to)
Vudu is nice cause usually down at the bottom of the movie page are details about the various resolutions, audio formats and HDR formats that are supported. The down downside of Vudu is that they are on team DolbyVision which I believe our phones does not support
Thanks

Possible that Amazon Doesn't support HDR on mobile devices yet. Netflix only recently enabled this on their app.
