Hi,
My Philips android TV 7502 recently update to Android 7. My YouTube app no longer supports HDR, and never supported 60fps. The TV can play 4k 60fps HDR content from other sources, so it's a software issue.
Has anyone run into this issue? If yes did you guys find a fix for it?
Thanks,
Daniel

I just bought an LG 4K TV this weekend (49UB8500).
It doesn't seem to recognize the 4k Videos I shot with my Xperia Z2.
I'm not sure...haven't done extensive research yet, but LG 4K TV seem to require HEVC codec for 4K video but somehow the 4K videos Z2 shot are using H264 codec instead....
I cannot find a free encoder to convert these files either to test out this theory.
Does nobody else have this problem?

I used TOTAL VIDEO CONVERTER to convert !!
But on Samsung 4k but it may work for LG
if any of my replays helped you hit me a thanks !!!!!!!!
if you want to donate me to advance my CODING LESSONs : paypal : [email protected]
my devices :
- XPERIA Z2 bootloader unlocked + existenz ROM + ABRICOT KERNEL
- TACLAST X98 AIR 3G DUAL OS
Try handbrake. Link: https://handbrake.fr/
I tried handbrake but it doesnt recognize the video... only converts audio...
will try the other suggestion and report back.
thanks!
Tried both options.....neither seem to convert the 4k videos.
No one else have this problem?
Update: It seems that 32bit PCs are now pretty much obsolete... Cannot re-encode 4k videos. On the other hand, seems my LG TV can read 4k H264 videos from the Z2 (just not via DLNA). Turns out 4K video quality as captured from Z2 is not much better than 1080p from my point of view...
Hi
I've found out that I can make 4K videos with the original application. No problem there. But I can try any other apk installed from play and cannot make a 4K video, the maximum resolution I can use is something about 3264x1836 but no UHD...
It seems to me like some system problem. To tell the truth I haven't tried other apks to shoot video but was curious with cinema 4k. It used to work OK on my LG G4 but with my new LG V10 no UHD resolution.
Has someone out there a problem like this?
Thanks.
Tibor
Edit: tried later a factory reset but still no UHD with Cinema 4K
Hi everyone! Do you work at the hardware video?
For me does not work in 4K video playback. YouTube video 1080p 60 FPS is working slowly. My graphics is Intel HD 4400. Does anyone have the same problem as me?
I've read that our snapdragon chipset should support hardware acceleration for hevc but I am not able to play in a decent way x265 4k samples.
After several test with Mx player, Kodi, VLC and an alpha version of MPV, I realized that none of them is able to play the file with using HW acceleration.
There is any way to play UDH video files with our device?
Many thanks,
Alessio
PS:I am on Arrow Pie rom and Franco kernel performance profile

What's the point in playing 4K videos on a 1080p screen?

My idea is to use the phone to play x265 4k video in my 4k television though hdmi cable but it is out of topic.
The question is how to play them since our SoC should support HW accelerated hevc reproduction.
4k is a job for 8xx sd . Our device can't handle that heat. 720p 8bit hevc is the limit here

Seems like it really doesn't work.
I've got a $25 Android TV box at home that can play 2160p 10bit x265 movies without a problems. Maybe you should spend a few bucks to make your TV smart
Ok, many thanks for your answer!
I have just recently migrated from iOS (iPhone 11 Pro) to Android 10 (Sony Xperia 5 II). I think Android is a much better choice for me as I feel I have more control.
Despite this I am having a minor issue which I need help with. On my iPhone 11 Pro, I was able to watch 4K videos, even with HDR turned on through the Youtube app. The resolution of the iPhone 11 Pro is closer to 1080p than anything else so I understand 4K is downscaled to the resolution of the phone. The problem I have is that with my new Sony Xperia 5 II I cannot seem to be able to enable 3840x2160/4K on any video on Youtube. I have tried watching a 4K video with HDR and without HDR but still suffer the same problem. I am new to android so I don't really know if this is common or its just my phone. The resolution of the Sony phone is also 1080p but I find it quite surprising it won't let me watch videos at 4K considering the iPhone 11 could.
I have tried updating the Youtube app and the firmware of the phone but nothing seems to change. I cannot uninstall Youtube from the phone either.
Is there any way this can be fixed?
The 4K video playback on YouTube is supported on those Android devices only that have a 4K display screen. Your Sony Xperia 5 II doesn't have such one.
But there is a simple workaround you can use to enable 4K video quality option on YouTube , if your phone's Android is rooted: change the resolution of the display to enable 4K video support - you do this by modifying the build.prop[/] file in the /system root directory.
