YouTube only showing 360p max? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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).

[Q] HD Videos

I just got an HTC Radar,and I downloaded the MetroTube app.For some reason,it seems that my Radar can't play HD videos,I mean,the 1080p or 720p videos are being played in 320p.Both in MetroTube and the website itself.In the app,it only gives me two options,320p being the highest.
Does anyone know why?

the update should / will be available shortly.

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:

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

How do ya use the desktop version without flash?

Youtube Max Resolution of 360p

I have an HTC Desire 610. I just flashed and unofficial build of Slimkat (you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desi...d-9-0-t3149308). After I flashed it, i realized on the stock YouTube app, there was no 480p option in Youtube (i was watching an HD vid, 1080p on my desktop, but it was on my phone). The only res that showed up was 360p 240p 144p and auto. Back on sense, i had 480p, so can anyone give me suggestions on how to fix this problem?
BTW, i chnaged the buil.prop to 4.4.2 insted of 4.4.4 but it didnt make a difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
Idk, I've been trying to find a fix for about a solid week now, although I am still kinda new to editing a ROM. Even still I haven't found a fix yet

Try uninstall youtube aplication from your phone and install THIS old version. With this version of youtube apk, you will able to watch videos in hq or hd version.

cant play video and any video related apps crash!

just ported in for the 32bit remix, everything works fine just i cant play any video content.
1) youtube apps auto close
2) load youtube from browser , no video
3) cant play video with mp4 format on mxplayer
4) twitch auto close
ps: when i create a new folder on desktop that folder cant open. NO reaction.
is it anything i did wrong when i ported in?
thanks if there is any help.:angel::crying::crying:
Same issuse here on Vaio VGN21.
I have the same issue with 64bit version on my MSI AE2400, which has an Amd Mobility 4670 video card. I assume that video playback is still a work in progress.
But overall i am quite pleased with the overall feel of Remix OS
oh I thought I was the only one xD having this problem too on my aging Toshiba... everything else works though (for the most part)
BSPlayer is the only video playing app I tried that works. A bit clunky but functional.
Yeah same here on my Asrock Ion 330. MXplayer just doesn't play any format and VLC just crashes or just flashes and close. BSPlayer is the only thing that will play but it's very laggy.
hmmm....whenever you post any problems, its mighty helpful if you take the trouble to mention your system specs....like your video, processor...
anyways, try the boot flags posted here:

Just go to settings - applications, open your video application and grant fullscreen mode. Then it should work.
Best, maris
Kodi is powerfull mediaplayer with a lot of addons to choose, just google it man and give a try...

try to upgrade your laptop power or boost the adapter because somethines the CPU processor need enough power to carry that, like wise increase the ram to at least 8GB

Porting ROM, Youtube is half black in Landscape

Dear all,
i hope someone can say whats happend with my port.
I have a MTK 6580 device and Nougat is ported to our chipset. Nougat works very well, but the port has a problem with Youtube.
If Youtube is in landscape, the half screen is black. In browser is all fine and youtube GO is fine too. It's just in Youtube. The Problem is since Youtube 10.02.3, because the 10.02.3 version works without problems!
Newest Version of Youtube. random video:
Newest Version in Landcape (no problems):
Youtube in Browser:
Why are versions newer than 10.02.3 so broken with the port? Which codec is used and which files should edit / replaced from the rom? I guess Youtube is using another codec since a newer version and the codec / smth else has to be edit. Also the Quality in Youtube APP is only up to 360P (can decide between 144 and 360)
