Hi guys,
I just got my tab 10.1 yesterday and I have a weird problem. It's a 16gb, wifi only edition but my problem is with youtube.
When I got through the stock browser and go to youtube all the videos play at a very low quality but when I go through the youtube app itself they play in HQ without an issue. Matter of fact HQ is the default on the youtube app.
Can anyone please help me out here with what I'm doing wrong.
Actually guys I think I might have found the problem and it's youtube itself?

Hi everyone,
I have xperia Sola mt27i, I have installed online tv on it, but the picture of playback is not good, it seems like pixels are away from each other neighbor, where I have tried that on S4 Clone and S4 original and picture are very good. my question is. how do I can increase the picture quality for this app. I have tried many things to improve it such as; codec ARM7 neon and mx player with no luck. also tried to enable h/w acceleration and it doesn't help too.
app called: Arabic Channels TV. from google play.
please if anyone have any method let me know.
Main rom now is ICS 4.0.4 original firmware (ROOTED). also tried on other ROMS eg WOLF V1.2 and V2 Same result.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
MEDO
any issues guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,
Love my Tab S3.
Amazon don´t support HD streaming with Amazon Prime Video App on this tablet. (only SD streaming)
With my old Note 2014 Tablet HD streaming was possible.
With Iphone 7 Amazon Prime App shows HD content. (in the same Network - 50 Mbits)
One Solution is to watch Prime Videos with Chrome Browser in Desktopmode.
But the video does not always run smoothly.
I have asked at Amazon Support - but have no great hopes for competent help.
Maybe someone can help?
is this the Amazon video app from the Samsung app store?
Hello RMXO,

Everythink works now!

Ah, was not even aware it was available through Samsung's app store - I've been side-loading it from a link on Amazon's site

I read that Amazon PRime Video was supporting HDR and didnt see it on the PlayStore so I went to Samsung App store and it was there. Shame I cant find Kindle for Samsung to get a free book every month.
GLad to have helped!
So. The Amazon prime video from the play store won't do hdr. Only from galaxy apps will?

that is correct
How do I know when hdr kicks in it if it's even working. At bottom it just shows 1080p (for man in high castle)
Does only amazon video support her in this tablet right now (Netflix?) . Is the tab s3 hdr 10 compliant or is it its own proprietary format ? So if I load a hdr 10 video on to it will it play in hdr on Samsung's stock video player (and how do I know, for example my Samsung TV always says "an hdr video is playing and brightens the screen when I do
What actually does real HDR on Tab S3 or S8+? I have both devices, and have not seen any HDR content actually availible yet. Would be nice to see in real life, even if just a sample clip or something.
ya and how to know if its active
I have Galaxy Tab S3 as well and was wandering how can I make use of HDR feature. I have called Netflix support, the answer is simple: Android Netflix app do not support HDR streaming. Only TVs and Xbox app but not Android app. I also checked Amazon Prime help section. It says on Android devices following is support it: SD and HD. The UHD and HDR on TVs only. Even if I choose HDR title on Prime while playback it only shows 1080p, not HDR.
So there you have it, even both Netflix and Amazon Prime have HDR content, Android apps do not stream/playback HDR. Hope this will change with future updates.
Any more progress on this? I'm finding it a little frustrating that the guys over at the S8 threads are able to play local HDR videos over the native Video Player while we can't seem to be able to.
would love to know myself. kind of frustrating.

hi. do you mind explaining how it is you know the Amazon app is indeed running in HDR? is there some visual cues?
I've noticed today in the UK anyway, that the Amazon Prime Video App now offers HDR and Ultra HD for a limited number of series, seems to work really well, Netflix is expected to make UHD/HDR available on Android later in the year.
Like has been said though it needs to be installed via Galaxy Apps, not the Play Store.
Yes, i contacted amazon prime video, the only device listed adide ftom tvs apis galaxy s7, and ask her to update and include our tab s3
How can I play Amazon video in hd? I have contacted the support but they can't help me.

Check out this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/themes/google-camera-mod-galaxy-s9-sm-g960f-ds-t3772791
The 'Photo sphere' feature of google camera offers exactly the same functionality. But you'll have to install using the modified APK from the link above, since it is not available from the play store on the S9.
I've complained about the missing camera feature at SamSung support. But they were unable to tell me if, and when to expect it to appear on the S9 (Plus). :-[
I've got my hands on a PPX4935 Android projector from Phillips.
It's running Android 4.4.2 and has true 720p output resolution.
Problem is, YouTube will only play at 360p max.
YouTube in Kodi works fine at 720p but with anything Kodi, it's a time consuming process.
YouTube Vanced from XDA also plays at 360p max.
What app or mod can I use for 720+ YouTube?
Projector is not rooted.
Hi did u find any app or mod for this problem?
Now i am facing this issue in my chinese android tv.If u got the fix please share
stock rom
S8-50LC firmware version 151016 S000456 - thanks to @Minto107 for providing download link. If download link does not works, please ping @Minto107
can you give me the another link? i can't open this one.
To help others in the same situation I found an app that works 720p and above on this projector... it's called "Smart Youtube" and choose the 1080 alt version (will install additional plugin).
