On a forum I'm a member off, a discussion started about many phones today that may struggle with this type of video content including importantly, the Z2.
Now I watch a fair bit of anime on my phone and a lot of it is encoded in this profile but I often watch 720p encodes and these are prefect on the Z2 as for 1080p videos I've only watched a couple but these were very smooth as well but I just want to see what other people's results maybe.
Just to be clear I am referring to 10bit encodes, if they were 8bit then it would be hardware decoded. The profile for 10bit encodes is also known as Hi10P.
MOD EDIT
I have changed the title of the thread as it seems you are trying to start a discussion. If you did mean to ask a question then Q&A is the correct place for it.
@gregbradley
For 720p it's very smooth, no problem at all. :good:
For 1080p it may lag/stutter a bit in some scenes (usually the fast action scenes). But it's fairly smooth most of the time and very watchable.
I've tried a 720p h.265 video too, and it's smooth ^^;
I'm using MX Player.
I would have to check which one are 10-bit. But so far no problems using BS player and a Synology NAS. Will check when I get home.
I have a z2 and yes i agree with you ravdo 1080p movies some action scenes lag and stuttering i dont know why becasue samsung s3 s4 s5 was perfect on 1080p videos no lag and stutter i dont know why z2 does and also z2 plays 4k videos so interesting anyone can explain why or how solve this problem?
A lot of claims have been made that the new Chromecast cannot do 60fps for YouTube videos and whilst from experience that was the case with the original Chromecast and will continue to be with the YouTube app, it is possible (kind of) to get videos to display at 60fps on the new Chromecast via screen mirroring. I say "kind of" because I have noticed frame drops and some sound sync issues every so often because the video output is not optimised. If Google wanted to, I would theorise that it would not be an issue for the YouTube app on Chromecast to run at [email protected] or even [email protected]
If you wish to verify (or rubbish) my claims, the method on how to do it is below:
You will need
- 1x Chromecast 2015;
- 1x Laptop or PC with a resolution at 1920x1080 with Google Chrome and the Google Cast (Beta) extension installed. As a junior member, I can't post a link but it's easily found on your favourite search engine using the phrase "Google Cast (Beta);
- 1x video which works at [email protected] (Sonic ones are good to give the video encoders a good test);
- (optional) video capture device which records at 60fps if you wish to show the world that it works.
Ensure your Chromecast is working, on YouTube, select a video which has a quality option of [email protected] Select the Google Cast extension (the button in the top right of the Chrome window which looks like a Chromecast button) and select options in the menu. Ensure that it is outputting at 1920x1080. Also feel free to test with the bitrate options (I set it to 10000Kbps although from experience [email protected] work between 2000-6000Kbps), ensure the "Maximum capture frame rate" is set at 60 and also ensure the "Enable frame size/rate auto-throttling" option is turned on or you'll get sound sync issues.
Now using the Google Cast extension, select the drop down arrow (don't get it to cast youtube.com otherwise you'll be stuck at [email protected]) and select the "cast this tab" option before selecting your preferred Chromecast. Now play that video and put it in full screen mode (right click and select the "Stats for Nerds" option to verify that the YouTube video is running at [email protected]).
All being well, with the aforementioned issues, it should be outputting at 60fps as opposed to the standard 30fps. Something very welcome for video game footage. Seems to work better if the tab your video is playing in on Chrome doesn't lose focus. If it does, I did find frame skipping occurred more often.
I uploaded a video to YouTube to verify the claim I made.
Hopefully Google will take note and at some point in the not too distant future, 60fps will be available on Chromecast - at least for the new ones.
So, what about the new Chromecast Ultra? Does the new Chromecast Ultra play YouTube videos at 60fps?
@tkdsl :
Saw your video review of the Chromecast Ultra:
https://youtu.be/IeuNO3K97mQ
But unfortunately you did not mention if the Chromecast Ultra plays YouTube videos at 60fps.
Can you please tell us if the Chromecast Ultra plays YouTube videos at 60fps?
And @MikeChannon :
Can you please create a proper forum for Chromecast (i.e. separate from Android TV) and create a proper sub forum for the Chromecast Ultra?
Regards

Hey, I tested it with this 1080p 60fps video and it looks great.

Thanks, but "looking great" = actually playing back at 60 fps?
Can you confirm that?
And would you also be able to confirm if the Chromecast Ultra plays 2160p60 YouTube videos at 60fps?
I saw in your video that your monitor apparently only supports [email protected] via HDMI. Do you happen to also possess a UHDTV that can do [email protected] so that you could test if 2160p60 YouTube videos are being played back at 60 fps?
There are lots of users on the Internet who would like to know that.

I'm curious if the new Chromecast can "for sure" do 60Hz as well.
@tkdsl @MTMTE Google has confirmed it now, see:

:good:
This is the Chromecast that we needed last year really.

And we need this year's Chromecast at the price of last year's Chromecast .
Charging twice as much is quite a lot...
Anybody get above 480p resolution on 60fps videos?
Reported it daily but still no joy

I can only watch youtube in 480p too. I don't know what they are trying to pull here.
Can you change to 1080p in the youtube settings?
Or you can use Tubemate. I think tubemate is better. It can download videos and especially see upvotes in youtube comments.

it only shows the option of 1080p when its not on 1080p 60fps,when its on 60 fps ,the maximun resolution is 480p. Maybe the display its not supported,but i doubt that because the refresh rate of the display its 120 mhz if im not mistaken.
It's quite annoying to have to watch 480p when you need it the most.
I posted the problem on the sonymobile forum.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-X/Youtube/m-p/1139025/highlight/true#M297 Someone linked me to this saying that it's youtube's fault for not adding it to supported devices.
Now it's supported, look :
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!
If any chance I play 4k 10bit and HDR movies on Asus max m2
