[Q] how do I watch 1080p youtube videos? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Using danvdh 4.4.4 GPE ROM. YouTube max is 720p.
I also have a stock VZW Galaxy S5 that allows me to select 1080p. Same video.
Confused.

I'm running Vanir and I only have up to 720p option as well. Personally on a screen our size I doubt it makes much of a difference.

I have a stock vzw galaxy s5 and I am able to notice the difference. I guess it also has a better display.

Me neither I've even tried viral and it wouldn't allow me to use 1080p on my s4 why

YouTube 1080p

Does anyone know if RAZR can play 1080p Youtube or only 720p?
Razr easily plays H.264 1080p.
So don't worry about Youtube. But with you qHD screen, you shoul use 720, or 480. Except if you want to stream on a TV, obviously.
Edit: And keep on fighting, Greece.
No. 720p yes, 1080p, no. It stutters like mad.
Are you talk via browser or the app? I don't think there's a choice within the app.

Both actually. Since you mention it, what is the resolution used by the app and are there any other apps that gives you the option to choose resolutions?
720p max in YouTube -- which looks great. 1080p is not necessary.

ICS Youtube vs GB Youtube

Ive tried most of the ICS leaks and saw that youtube actually does 720p. Anyone notice this? I actually took my wifes stock rezound and put it next to my ics and found the video quality is very much superior on the ICS version.
In saying that, is it possible to get that on A GB rom? Or is it not possible ?
And im talking about the youtube app, not from browser.

ics 720p youtube
Just curious, how do you know ics youtube supports 720p. Because I'm on ics and my youtupe player still just shows (hq) ?
I always assumed that the GB player did 720p also since my HD icon/switch would always be lit up. I'm running ICS now and it's pretty nice but I don't use youtube enough to notice a change in quality.
ICS YouTube is superior in almost every way. Their normal (Non HD) setting is HQ (High Quality) on GB. Then when you click HD, the video will play in 720p (If supported). Dope.
Edit: ICS ROMs that are 4.0.1 will not say HD. It will say HQ, but still plays 720p when applied. ICS 4.0.3 has the "HD" icon instead of "HQ."

Super Video, Floating & Popup

I originally found this on the N7000 forum.
If you have seen the ability to watch a video while doing another task for the Samsung Galaxy 3, then this is it.
Pretty much the same deal. Works well with the Note i717.
I am running the Hybrid ROM in Tablet mode and this app works great.
You can find this app in the Play Store. Here's a demo vid - copied link from app description.

The split screen ability in the Note 10.1 would be another great feature to have now...
Great find
Here is the link for those who like clickies -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupVideo
Thank the OP, not me

Its an awesome app.
Btw, this app already comes pre-installed in the HYFR B4 ROM.
Is it safe for an app to collect a device's imei to their server? The EULA claims that it is used to verify the device. It is in the privacy policy.
thats similar to stickit..i have used for a while now.. idk which one is better though
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5teWJveWZyaWVuZGlzYWdlZWsuc3RpY2tpdCJd
the one you posted is better looking..im trying it out now!!
Compared to Stick It, this app is better. I really like it! Great Find!

What's the name of the video player? Because I've used only1 rom from the beginning and I've never seen that feature.

OK all, while this app seams to have everything I would want it has one major thing I don't want LAG. just wondering is it doing this to everyone or just me? What I mean is this, when it plays a video it plays about 2 sec then buffers, but in the youtube app the same video will play with no issues. I am useinf the free version and have un installed and re installed it already. Also I am getting throttled speeds on ATT however as I have said youtube works just fine. Any ideas?

I haven't experienced any lag as of yet. Both on Flapjaxxx's UCLE2 and CM9.
@spade1031
No lag here and I'm still on FJ's GB ROM.
With more use I've noticed it seems to be only YouTube and only.the hd videos, any other site with hd works fine and the YouTube app with hd works fine. Might just be that I'm throttled, I'll post back after my new bill cycle and update. Just asking is anyone else throttled and working right? By the way I'm only getting hspa+ in my area. But still a GREAT app for anyone, thanks again for sharing.

EDIT: working fine now that I'm not throttled
Been playing with this for a couple days, pretty cool, no real issues to report on paranoid android.
Full screen low framerate
App: Supervideo (HW Decode)
I am experiencing low frame rate when switching to full screen. When the video is floating, it's perfectly fine.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
App: MX Player (Free)
Full screen is perfectly fine.

YouTube quality issue on xperia z ultra c6806

Hi, does anyone else having the same issue as what I'm having? Youtube quality isn't as good on this device compared to galaxy note 3 or HTC one.
Videos play smoothly but the quality and the sharpness of the videos seems to blur and not as sharp and I already set the youtube setting to HD.

Download boat browser or another preferred browser with support for flash and watch 1080p without a problem.
If that's not an option, get the youtube mod allowing for 1080p streaming. Although I couldn't get it to work it might get fixed soon.
Turn off X-reality also, it kills YouTube.

I already knew that option but its not as easy as playing via app. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
I tried Viral Youtube app and its quality even though max it support 720p as of now(earlier used to support 1080p) is really fantastic.I find it much better than default youtube app.

The screen is 2k & the camera is 4k
You can YouTube 2k video test or something like that to test out the screen, the videos included in stock gallery shows off the screen well
Try Netflix, they just updated to Ultra HD accounts. I upgraded and I see a difference on my G3... Takes a while to buffer to best quality tho...
