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.

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.

Hi, I know there has been some discussion about this already but I dont think this has been properly resolved.
I am fully aware of the tegra 2 video decoding limitations so lets not get into a discussion about that.
Basically, on the website Samsung suggest this can play 1080p video and there are various videos floating about suggesting it can plan youtube videos in 1080p format.
Now, here's the rub....
If you play a video in none desktop mode it plays great but this isnt in 1080p format, this is pretty obvious if you pump it out the HDMI. If you attempt to play it straight out of the browser, stock or Dolphin it stutters in 1080p and is just about watch-able in 720p.
So, I am wondering exactly what 1080p video sammy are actually referencing to?
On a side note however I have found that DICE and MXplayer do a really good job or playing main and high profile MKV's to the point where 720p high profiles are watchable at stock cpu 1 gig and smooth at 1.6 gig overclock (neither is hardware decoding, all done by CPU).
wow 60 views and no replies... ghost town in here...
Samsung simply repeats what Nvidia states which is the tegra 2 can only play 1080p video encoded in Baseline profile. The problem is nobody uses Baseline profile as its obsolete and has poor compression.
Youtube certainly does not use Baseline profile when it re-codes videos uploaded to its servers and that is problem....
Yes the video decoder in the tegra 2 sucks balls.
I dont think that is right, flash 3.2 is supposed to have tegra 2 hardware acceleration and should be able to play 1080p youtube stuff through a browser.
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
See here, it still states full 1080p video playback, if it cannot play youtube 1080p then you have to wonder what it is refferring to exactly?

Just because it has hardware acceleration of a codec does not mean it can play all 1080p video as explained with h.264. If the video is encoded with too high of a bitrate the tegra 2 hardware accelerator chokes, and it does not take much to choke it....
Unfortunately advertisement is inherently deceptive as the case with the link you provided.
Does anyone have any more info regarding this? I really thought that with the 3.2 Honeycomb update they would optimize the Tegra 2 GPU more, but it still cant play any stream or youtube video at 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.
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.

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...

So, you're saying you're returning your Chinese Mediapads, and keeping your Chinese non-Mediapads?

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.
duplicated.

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.
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!!
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

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!
