Got the youtube app update installed on my MediaPad.
According to the news it should have an option to preload videos for watching later wich would be awesome.
Android 3.2+ devices: v.4.0
* New UI: Guide on the left side of the screen with instant access to channels
* Preload videos while on WiFi and charging for smooth playback on the go
On a Galaxy Nexus I have seen this option in the settings. But on the MediaPad, although YT is definitely version 4.0.8E, there is no preload setting!
Did anybody get this working? I tried the update from the market and even an apk found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715

Open the video with chrome and set desktop view. Then choose 1440P resolution and watch your video of course only work if that videos have high resolution.

You still can't even watch 1080p with the YouTube app?
That crap really annoyed me on my Nexus 7 (2013) where you could only watch 720p at most. :-/
Use the previous update of YouTube and you will be able to watch 1440p just disable auto update from Google playstore ....

That's weird .... Because im using it right now ... and im able to watch 1440p videos .....
Working for me ... try it one more time ..... I know it works because people from the LG G3 thread said was working good ...
I downloaded the YouTube apk from your mediafire link and it worked for me.
It should be noted that I had to remove YouTube twice using System app remover (ROOT) (pro), firstly I removed from User Apps but then when I rebooted YouTube was still present and started updating automatically. I then removed another YouTube that was present in the System Apps section and so it was removed completely.
Installed the above apk and now can enjoy 2K YouTube videos :good:

Disabled Auto Updates for the Youtube App in the marketplace
Uninstalled the youtube app using Titanium
Restarted the phone
Installed the linked version of Youtube
Open it and still 720p is the max resolution i can select on a video i know goes to 4k resolution
Any help?
Cheers guys
Im using 5.10.3.5 and I get 1080p on videos that support it. Havent tried higher, because... well... my current device (Note 3) has a 1080p screen (soon to be a Note 4). According to google play, thats the last and latest version here in Scandinavia.

Root your device .... delete youtube from your system "Root Explorer Pro" redoot device ... make sure youtube is not in your system device . And know install the version that I posted ... and know you should be able to see 1440p resolution .....
Also make sure auto update is disable from your playstore
Ok, after some fiddling around, clearing cache, wiping data, removing, reinstalling etc i can now get the 1440p option to show... However when i select anything from the resolution selector nothing seems to happen. I click the cog again and the resolution is the same as it was before ...

It's not perfect, which is why I imagine it was removed from later updates.
On mine I noticed it would autoselect a lower (720p) resolution when I was far from my router but nearer it would stay on 1440p, we have fibre optic broadband but the router is pretty crap so it makes sense to me.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the reason - even if i select 480p it doesn't change anything...
I've gone back to the latest Youtube app at 720p for now - until Google get their **** sorted.
Ok. I was able to see 1440p videos after this was done. And just today i cant no longer been trying to view a video in 1440p and now it only shows on 720p
I deleted the youtube app clean cache . Tempe files etc restarted phone and installed again and i dont know what happened i no longer can see the 1440p again
Any other version Of youtube available or other way
did same as shown but the youtube you post is 13 version no 5 and its same 720p maximum why???
update:i now see the 1080p or 1440 but when i choose nothing happened when i check it back to 720p???
Mother fawwwwwkkk
I think its blocked server side
Im just using Chrome now and seeing youtube there cause in desktop view of youtube you can see 1080p, 1440p, and even 4k. And its nice very nice in this screen.

On my Nexus 9, in the Google Play Store, when I try to watch the demo video for any app, it will only play about 1 second of the video. Anyone else have this problem? Please reply either way. I would like to know if its working for anyone else.
Thanks!
Same for me. I first thought it was WiFi sucking, but its too consistent, its a bug on n9, works fine on my nexus 5.
Thanks. I thought the same thing and I have also tested on the same WiFi with my Nexus 5, both running Android 5.0.1 and it works on Nexus 5. Anyone know if this has been reported?
Ditto. Nexus 7 on Lollipop. Same issue. Tried all the normal debugging methods with the play store and video players.

Ditto on Nexus 9 here also.
I have the issue on my Shield Tablet running 5.0.1
I went into the developer options and unticked use Nuplayer, rebooted, that got it working for a while before it stopped again.
Ticking and unticking that box now has no effect.
Nexus 9 on 5.0.1
I see I am not the only one that has this issue. I did notice that if you hit the settings icon lower right corner of the screen. You have an option to select quality which doesn't seem to stick. But it also has a youtube link that if you tap, takes you to the youtube app and plays the video just fine through the youtube app itself.
Also when listening to music through the google play music app, when it has an option to play the music video, the same thing happens .
I have tried messing with the NuPlayer and AwesomePlayer, rebooting etc. and can only get 1 video to play before its back to not playing again.
I saw that a similar issue was reported to google where no videos could be played but this seems different? Can anyone confirm if its the same or different? and/or if google is working on a fix?
Exact same issue here on Nexus 9. Videos play for about half a second then stop. This happens in Google Play store previews, and Google Music videos. I have tried everything, including restarts, clearing cache, deleting/reinstalling all related apps, adjusting Nuplayer setting, and even factory reset. My Nexus 5 has no problems, so it's clearly a Nexus 9 bug. I tried contacting Google and they gave me the typical 'turn your tablet off by holding the power button for a whooooole 2 seconds....' response. I'm a long time Nexus fan, but I do get tired of these bugs.
Anyone found a solution?
It's not just a Nexus 9 problem, I'd already posted it doesn't work on my Shield tablet and I upgraded my old N7 2012 to 5.0.2 yesterday and it doesn't work on that either.
I don't think there is any solution sadly.
Just uninstall latest youtube update from playstore and it will work fine again.
Stupid google didn't fix this issue yet.
Wow, uninstalling youtube updates actually did work! Thanks!
Worked for me too, thank you
Yup Really puzzles me why google didn't fix this yet.
My back cover was also flexing a bit around middle and upper right (when looking from the back side). That was a pretty easy fix. Now its solid as a rock. If anyone has that problem I could upload a fix on youtube.
Besides above problems, I absolutely love this device.. Imo it's hand down the best android tablet to date, despite these flaws.
If you upgrade to YouTube v10, this will also fox the problem.
If you don't see the update in the Play Store you can download it from APK Mirror.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-10-02-3-apk/
Yes, I can confirm this. Installed latest YouTube update from the Play Store (10.03), now demo videos play fine.

Hi everyone. I have owned the Tab S3 for several weeks now, and it's definitely a great tablet.
One thing I have not been able to do/confirm yet is playing HDR video.
I don't have an amazon prime video membership (I'm already paying enough for streaming services!), so that avenue is closed off. However, I've tried to follow the details this thread (intended for S8 phone users but also meant to work for the Tab S3) to get some HDR video playing, and as far as I can tell it's not working.
The S8 thread has some HDR videos that I've downloaded, and I've used the Samsung Video Library player app, but I don't get any confirmation that the videos are playing in HDR. Supposedly there's meant to be some "HDR" text that shows when the controls are visible and a HDR video is playing, but I get nothing. I've tried putting the videos in internal memory and on a (very fast) SD card, I've tried renaming the file extensions, I've tried changing the tablet display settings, I've tried downloading the video library app from the google play store and then the samsung app store... but as far as I know, the videos are not playing in HDR.
Part of the problem is probably the lack of Android video player apps that can play HDR, even the netflix app, which is pretty frustrating. But as far as I can tell, I should be able to play some HDR stuff with the instructions from the S8 thread.
Has anyone else been able to get this working? It's pretty frustrating having such a great screen and not being able to use it fully.
I can confirm your experiences on QF3 firmware. Files from the S8 thread works fine on S8 (and my LG E6 OLED tv). But no go on the Tab S3. Hopefully Samsung will enable it in a future firmware update...

On the Tab S3? Yes, the colors are washed out and plain wrong (worse than the same clip in SDR would be), which is normal when playing a 10bit or HDR file on a device without the proper codec/decoding capabilities.

That's interesting.
I have the BBC Planet Earth series on my tab and I thought the colors were great. These are 4K HDR episodes where one file is 14-15 gb.
But reading this thread has me wondering if I'm missing something...

Just noticed a thread in the android subreddit.
Supposedly there's a new update going out for the youtube app that is enabling S8 users to get HDR video playback. Hopefully the Tab S3 will get something similar!! Fingers crossed.

HDR Works. In Netflix it's conspicuous but you will notice easily in Daredevil church scenes then download 4k x265 HDR file of the same epsiode. I did this with punisher. Yep torr me did yesh. The initial episode where he burns the jacket and also the sandwich scene with the water tank in rear. Although I did note it seemed to be 1080p in Netflix.
The file played on Samsung player but audio was 7.0 so not supported. So I used MX player but note this doesn't seem to support HDR but I couldn't see the difference. If they haven't stated HDR support specifically for devices which have capable displays (google mobile HDR premium devices) then it isn't there. Only the Samsung gallery will activate the HDR display and the video app from Galaxy Apps won't.
Amazon is another story it works wonders and if you turn the volume up with physical key and with no controls or options but only clean video playing you will see it turn greenish instead of regular blue... You can minimise as it plays and see your home screen as the HDR of display is active. This is a hardware solution and with Amazon being a firm partner to us it will come as no surprise but we won't provide support for hdr10+ support fully atleast until 2019.
Netflix now is a software HDR that means it doesn't activate the HDR display but setting up cinema mode in display settings will do the trick but the volume turn green test won't work here. Only the video will be HDR and if you do anything that is UI interaction thus HDR is immediately disabled by the AMOLED CINEMA setting.
This is how all of this works. But hey, Dolby Vision is costly no wonder only the s8 competitor had it and not the note 8 one as that guy's screen is P-OLED and blotchy

Boy have I got an answer for y'all love this one...
Ok so MX player has H.265 10bits see attached pic. I had this Spiderman movie (see attached for details). So I figured finally this had to work. Now this Spiderman Homecoming is a HDR file.
Previously I used to use MX player with 1080p 10bit and 12bit files obviously 12bit didn't work works on pc but I didn't know back then you'd need a 12 bit display aka Dolby Vision compatible basically.
Back to it then...
So look at this scene of spiderman in SW and HW+ it's astonishing, the difference.
I have not seen such differences with 1080p 10bit display but back then I didn't have tab s3 so no wonder I was foolin myslef haha.
So when Tom Holland aka Peter Parker is removing his clothes you can cleary see the stark contrast. I set 100 brightness and AMOLED CINEMA because apparently Adaptive Mode is really bad and I keep reading ya gotta do this. HDR or not color modes are always working on anything. So true HDR COLOR doesn't mean you can't set color modes. But the Cinema one probably has the Industry standard for HDR gamut like DCP3 for Photoshop and such.
That's it folks, enjoy knowing you're making the best use of the gorgeous display but it gotta be h265 HDR so probably a mkv.
Also the Samsung player from galaxy apps couldn't play 5.1 or 7.1 AC3 and such audio so I had to go for MX thankfully now I found out it's all GOOD. But still Amazon I think does its on thing coz when you increase volume the bar turns green instead of the blue for HDR videos. ( Also attached)
I took the spidey pic on OnePlus 5 with HDR ON, attached that too.
Thus CONCLUSIVE!
A side note the Colors of a HDR video on a non compatible display will look worse than a normal SDR video which means yeah when you try to play a HDR file it will look that washed out which makes it worse so don't bother playing HDR videos on non HDR devices!
By the way 50 shades darker Unrated UHD HDR is such a treat but unfortunately my external hard disc gave up right before I was about to take a pic of Christian taking Ana on his shoulder to the swimming pool at the end of the movie.
That scene truly shows HDR capabilities on my TAB S3.
When they are on the stairs it's like I'm there too. The feeling ya know if you claustrophobic of darkness you'll feel it. Dolby Vision would be better I suppose but HDR is still felt just not ya know perfect so yeah.
I hope the hard disk works again I'm Leaving it untouched to a day.
It made a click sound but it also does then when you unplug the wire after unmount so pray for me thanks and enjoy... God damn it my whole 1.5 TB of HDR collection was on that!
Ok so I tried something it was a flop apparently screen grab doesn't capture HDR I used AZ screen recorder.
Anyways have a look but by pics you can see it's HDR.
I'll add another one taken from a camera.
That should show the difference but why doesn't XDA app let me upload videos always go to network error...
And no it's not my network problem!
p.s. the golden pic is how it looks fell in love with her all over again all were HDR shots on OnePlus tab brightness was 100 percent the exposure is different of phone camera that's why they look different
Here you are. Hope you're able to discern the difference.
Also just noticed in Samsung player when I did max battery save and player a HDR video since auto rotate is off when you click on the rotate there is a split second of washed out color.
This goes to show that HDR hardware of the Screen gets off when video is not playing it's like turning the HDR on and off in windows 10 display settings.
Suffice it to say 4k will not display in 4k but 1440p for local files though it does look sharper than a native 1440p file. Amazon prime video only goes up to 1080p and so does netflix because it supports only HD, SUPERHD AND 4K. I rest my HDR case Tab S3 SCREEN is better than my KU6470 TV!

Thank you. So basically this is an example of false advertisement by Samsung, because there is no true HDR on Netflix on Samsung's mobile devices. I have a Galaxy S9 and can confirm that. HDR videos on Netflix look dark and dull.
I recently switched from my Galaxy S7 Edge to a Verizon S9 plus. I have noticed my Youtube app is defaulting to 480P under all kinds of situation, including different wifi and mobile data.
I have the youtube app limit mobile data option off, I reached out to youtube help and support, and they could not figure out why.
I tested my Nexus 6P, S7 Edge and a iPhone 6s, all running on latest youtube app, none of them suffer from this problem, they all defaults to auto on the same wifi network.
Is there some setting I missed on the S9+ limiting the performance?
I can press the 3 dots on each video and change manually, but I just wonder of there is an option to avoid doing this...just being lazy.
Thanks guys.
Tmobile s9 plus here. I'm having the same problem. Allows me to change it but auto will never pick the highest dpi even with 150mbs down.
Cant say what the issue is, but I did away with YT and went with Youtube Vanced Edition right here at XDA. Works great non rooted version.
For Tmobile I recall there was this "Binge On" feature that could be the cause of 480P video.
This works great but the only trouble is my touch controls app don't work with this version.
