I've tried several 4k videos and there was no lag/stutter or issues with regards to overheating.
Try an alternative video player? I recommend BS Player, excellent player. Plays every format and even supports subtitles. :laugh:

MX Player is also awesome. I bet it also boils down to codec, bitrate, size etc. so keep that in mind.

1. YouTube compresses all videos, so you're not getting full quality
2. The Android YouTube-app only supports 720p.
3. Download a genuine 4K video and transfer it to your Ultra. YouTube is ****ty for this purpose.

I tested a little but really don't know much about video. Did notice tubemate will let you choose 4k to download but uses another app to prices it for storage , then MX will only use s/w decoding to play it. Dolphin browser with hacked flash player will play 4k from YouTube but then I have poor network for tested.

Doesn't help. The resolution will be "4K", but it won't be near full quality. You won't get true untouched 4K from YouTube. Google " 4K test file" or something instead, and do not use streaming services to test video quality.

Yeah never overheated or lagged when playing 4k content my Z ultra. Only thing i noticed was that sometimes it caused the homescreen to redraw when i pressed home. Sometimes.

You may be playing true 4k or above. Some devices won't even play videos that have resolutions higher than 4k. Try 3840 x 2160 for example.

[Q] [Sola,U,P] 1080p playback not possible?

Okay so I was reading some reviews of the U, Sola and P few days back and almost all of them mentioned 1080p videos don't play on these handsets. That's really strange as these are dual core handsets and should be able to play 1080p videos just fine.
U/P/Sola owners post your views on this please.
I'm not really into videos, but yeah, 1080p would've been great. :rollyeyes:

So your U can't playback 1080p files ?
Nope...
I'd tried. Just 720p videos work.
Anyway, I'm not sad as I got just 4 gigs for media, and more than 3 gigs are songs. So, no videos.

Can you play with MxPlayer?
Tried playing a 4 min 1080p video on VLC with hardware acceleration enabled and it stopped responding. I was forced to Force Close.

Well, this might not be the intended use for this app but from the description it might just do in your case:
1. Recording starts and stops in the background
2. Record with front or back camera

Thanks for the help but my Nexus won't open link right now have to try PC tomorrow....

Hi!
I have problem with YouTube HD app. I can't watch any video because it buffering video. I watch 10 s and it's buffering, and again and again. I have stock fw .54, without mods or tweaks. Please help! I don't have this problem on my Arc S with same YT HD app. And internet on my phone is little slower than before.

Already using. But not a solution. Have you tried paying 720p on mx player?
Only low resolution videos work fine pin it. Mp4 720p also work flawlessly. I have not tried avi. But wmv don't work.

Yeah wmv don't work correctly in any player

Means no solution? A Chinese made tablet named ainol can play then why not sola?

YouTube uploads look horrible

I uploaded directly to YouTube from my S5, and it looks awful. In gallery, it looks great. I recorded it in 1080P. I made sure HD was on in YouTube, and I searched the settings high and low for a quality setting, but nothing. What gives??

How horrible? It won't look as good as on your phone because YouTube compresses everything and is limited to 30 fps

There's definitely a big difference. I played it back on my phone and TV and it's not nearly as good as the original quality

I uploaded a video on Facebook that looked like crap.

Idk about other places but I do believe you have to wait for HD when uploading to youtube. Since they process every video so it can play in 240p all the way up to whatever resolution you upload at.
