Hello. Does anyone know why youtube resolution 2k is not available? The maximum resolution for me is 1080p.
It's related to the VP9 codec, I forced the codec on the YouTube Vanced app and it now plays content up to 4k however the tablet isn't really capable of smooth 4k playback, 1440p works fine.

I just tried that and it stutters at 1440p for me which is really disappointing, why can't this tablet handle 1440p videos

1440p and 4K works fine for me in VP9. 1440p @ 60 fps stutters a lot though.
It does play in 1440p in app but just on a few selected videos for me. I have no idea tho why. It is strange.

Yeah I just checked and it's 60fps that stutters on mine, will/can this be fixed with software updates?

I'm gonna go with a big, fat maybe...? on this one. [email protected] is pretty demanding and in the stock YouTube app (i.e. without forcing VP9) [email protected] doesn't work reliably.

does 1440p work with other apps or if you record your own videos mate?
Smart Resolution
I noticed the same problem in a show unit. On my Huawei Mate 10 Settings, Display, Screen Resolution, there is an option called Smart Resolution. If I disable the option for smart resolution, the OS allows me to pick between HD (1280 x 720), FHD (1920 x 1080) and WQHD (2569 x 1440). Changing the resolution to WQHD will allow Youtube to play higher than 1080. However on the M5, there is just a toggle to enable / disable the smart resolution. See if that helps with the situation.

I think the issue here is that the Kirin 960 does not decode VP9 videos, which are what YouTube's premium video is encoded in (above 1080p). Hence the tablet can't view them, unless it does software decoding (which will kill the battery life)
I am trying to play 2k videos on youtube on my mediapad m5 8.4
I installed the youtube vanced but it still doesn't work and i still watch only FHD.
Could you please help me if there is a fix for this.
https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/a52148d7 in video formats it says Vp9 codec, so I think it is supported.

Hmmm, also another issue I've found is that HEVC playback only works on the stock video app. VLC is unable to hardware decode it. Maybe a software update from Huawei can fix this.
Also the Asus Zenpad 3S10 had an issue like this, but 1440p was exposed, but it didn't hardware decode and so was laggy. I think there was a software update that fixed it. That was a MediaTek CPU though.
Kirin 960 cant decode VP9

Found that few secs ago too. Sorry for misinformation.
I am at utter disbelief and shock.
I did not imagine it won't play anything more than 1080!!!
I tried on YouTube vanced but it stutters during playback.
I am returning this device today.
Technology progresses, not regresses.
Just bought 2 mediapads today. 10.8.
Only 1980 on YouTube.
Only 1980 on Netflix.
Stutter on 4k videoes both streaming and having the file on the tablet.
No external utube apps Will play higher than 1980x1080.
My chinese chuwi hi9air will play 2K on YouTube.
And stream 4k no stress.
Netflix only 980x560. Fml.
Solution... Hm.. returning my new mediapads and keep my chinese.
---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------
You know... I bought this because i wanted a slightly bigger screen so i could enjoy even more the 2K resolution.. but since it doesn't show any 2k or 4k material without stuttering and having a croppy picture i dont see any reason to buy this.
I rather buy a bigger Chinese tablet with 2K than this.
It really breakes my heart to because i really wanted them...

Yes. Correct.
My Chuwi hi9air is a Chinese crap tablet that have no recognizion in the large market.
Yet they outperform the more than twice expensive Huawei mediapad.
Now im gonna order a chuwi hi 9 plus the 10.8 and already i know that tablet is gonna be better than Huawei.
Ps- everything is made china. Even the packaging of the fish you buy at the store is from china.

Thanks! I did the steps in your link and now I have 1440p60fps smooth in my M5 8.4". Battery drain is very noticeable, but it's not a problem for me.
I don't understand why Huawei block this resolution if it can manage it.

Hi guys
My question be possible video playback in 720p with the power of snapdragon? someone working on optimizing its software?
Coreplayer works with 720p? what formats if is the case?
Thanks guys, with this 4,3 screen, video in HD would be impresive
a greetings!
May I ask why you would watch a 720p (1280x720) video on an 800x480 screen?
Just so that we wouldn't need to re-encode everything specifically for the HD2.
I mean, videos i would watch on my HD2 first are on my PC - hence, i always download the highest resolution i find. stuff i transfer to my HD2 need to be re-encoded, possibly transmuxed, which is indeed a hassle. If there was a way to read at least 720p, it would clearly be good.

Coreplayer fails at his, but it may be due to the H264 codec, as most 720p videos use this codec.
I am not aware of a player capable of decoding H264 to this date, which is a shame.
coreplayer decodes h264 just fine, but can't play a video larger than 1008 (if i remember right) pixels wide.
This has been discussed many times before. 720p playback is not enabled in the hardware and software decoding is not up to the task. And frankly if it did work you be draining your battery decoding details the screen couldn't display.

Exactly, many videos and trailers have them in 720, and is very annoying having to recode, I prefer to occupy the space, and if, although it is 480x800 anyway looks awesome
I tested a video 720 in tcpmp, the audio ok, the image very slow, but tcpmp is very old soft, and no optimized

Video size has absolutely 0 to do with codecs.
CorePlayer doesn't use any hardware decoding on the HD2, in contrast to the Album/WMP, and I believe Snapdragon is locked away from 1GHz/hardware 720p decoding anyway.
Hell, I can see stutter on H264 800x480 videos no matter how I encode it.
AFAIK snapdragon is capable of running 720p video but windows mobile isn´t.
@Yunabeco: did you try this Encoder? stutters on my xperia, but on the HD2 it works like a charm.. tried only some files, i encoded from 720p with subtitle and it looks great with the built-in-player..

Not in theoretical terms, but that's not what I wrote. I was joint pointing to the fact that most 720p videos use x264 compression due to being recorded from H264 encoded HDTV or downsampled H264 Blurays. As he said, he doesn't want to reencode.

There is a version of coreplayer that does use hardware acceleration. 1.3.1 build 7141. Don't know why the following ones don't...
benchmarks on my hd2 showed an app. 20% improvement with that version compared to the 1.3.6.
But then again, coreplayer is limited to 1008 pixels wide, so still no 720p anyway.

Doesn't have anything to do with Windows Mobile. The question is whether the device has the necessary drivers or not.
To answer the thread: No, it is not possible.
And even if it was possible, you would still have to reencode all the videos.
That's because even if a phone is capable of playing 720p, then it only plays certain file formats that it can harware accelerate.
This should answer everything. 720p gives no benefit at all because reencoding is always necessary.
720P play in ACER S200/F1
I can play 1280x720p wmv9 encoded movie in ACER s200/F1 with windows media player. but coreplayer can not. wmv7 and wmv8 encoded movies can not play with windows media player or coreplayer.
Hi
First I want to thank everyone here for this useful forum,
I want to play HD videos in really full screen mode (without black margins in the top and bottom).
I tried alot of video players and they can crop the video to fit the screen but in S/W mode and the videos are so creepy and too slow.
when I change the aspect ratio in H/W mode I can only starch the video but I cant crop the video to fit the screen (without change the aspect ratio) like in S/W mode.
The new version of MX video player has the option called "correct H/W aspect ratio" but it's not work in my phone.
Can anyone find the solution for this,
I have rooted xperia mini.
Thanks in advance...
Sorry for my bad English...
HD or FullHD?
My Live with Walkman is able to play videos, but can't remember which format these were. Oh and I used MX Video Player also.
Will post more info when I try/find.
MX video player
Mx video player pro is the best you can even pinch to zoom ina video, I think there's a free version

Thank you for your fast replay..
I mean HD (720p) in MP4 format
I know that xperia phones can play this format but when I play HD in 320x480 screen there is a big difference in aspect ratio so the video is too small and pixels appears in the video.
So I want to cut the video to play in whole screen and use all screen surface to make the videos looks a lot better.
I can do it with MX video player in S/W mode only not in H/W but the video looks too slow and without Bravia Engine enhancement.

yup. i have tested 3 bluray/1080p videos and it lags on any video player out there in the market. including mobo player.
It's the phone, that cannot play 1080p video.
RAM amount is too low, 512MB RAM, which only about 100-150 MB is free, depending on ROM and settings.
Maybe you have a slow sdcard.What class is it?

H.264 it's pretty heavy maybe xvid can do better with 1080p.

why not view it on a pc/laptop/hdtv/ps3 instead?

S/W fast mode is worse than H/W in terms of quality and smoothness
It's even worse than normal S/W mode
Try to use H/W and watch the deference
Anyone can fix aspect ratio in H/W mode???
(I'm talking about normal 720p video not 1080p)
I can't find anyone else with this problem, so I decided to come here where the professionals live.
My problem is that i'm 100% sure that this is an hd phone, as I've downloaded and played HD videos before, and the default background is HD. Whenever I run the youtube application, the maximum quality that i'm allowed to choose is 480p. Any help would be appreciated.
The resolution is qHD, youtube detects itself, so we cant have 720p on youtube.

Moto E 2015 has a 960x540 resolution screen. While the phone can handle playing higher-resolution video (I'm been able to play 1080p and 720p 10bit video in MX Player with no issues), the Youtube app limits to the resolution of your screen. Wish it at least gave the option for 720p, for the greater bitrate, but alas it's limited to 480p. Unofficial Youtube apps might give you all the resolution options, but I haven't tested out any to confirm.
Has anyone been able to run youtube videos in 1440p resolution? Atm I only get max. 1080p.
And how about netflix? Atm max. for me is 960x540.
I am running 7.1.2 RR with Shield Blobs and mocha2shield conversion so netflix thinks at least that I have Shield tablet.
For youtube I ofc use the Vanced version via Magisk.
This "issues" are not biggies but I am just curious if I could squeeze some more resolution out of Mi Pad while watching some videos.

Got 1440p to play in YT by enabling vp9 and overriding resolution check.
But video is not smooth but frankly unwatchable slide show.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76325161&postcount=715
Someone else is in the same boat as well...
I wonder if it is anymore possible to watch 1440p YT videos with mi pad if YT only offers higher res videos in VP9 codec and Mi pad doesn't have VP9 hw decoding ergo it decodes it with sw and that is why it is jerky-town.

I know this is a 2k screen but YouTube will not allow the resolution 1080p is the highest anyone know why or a work around.?
It is some server sided crap. Try reinstalling the app or if that doesnt work use "youtube vanced" from xda. You could even set 4k there if you wanted without ads.
I can watch 1080p just fine with the normal youtube app, not sure about 1440p though
1080p max. Doesn't bother me, but not sure where the limitation comes from.
Just checked, it's the same on my Mate 10 Pro.
With youtube van Ed if you set it over 1080p you get problems at more than 30fps which is very stupid with this being a "mediapad" but in reality you can't tell too much difference on a 10 inch screen so it's not a deal breaker for me

videos on YouTube are encoded up to 1080p in H264 AVC format and higher resolutions are VP9 only. The M5 doesn't have a VP9 decoder, it can only decode H264 and H265 (odd cos these cost money to implement, but VP9 doesn't). So youtube falls back to H264 and plays that.
I think there is something wrong with the app itself.. Because if u play the same video in youtube on browser, it will show that u can play 2k with no problems.
I am facing the same problem and i cant find a way to fix it!!
