watching videos with youtube app in HD - Thunderbolt General

please help
for some reason i CANNOT watch videos in hd from the youtube app on my phone. I can watch them in regular format but when i switch to hd they load about 10 seconds, then my data arrows stop lighting up and the video wont load anymore. Does anybody have any idea on what to try to fix this?
you say that hd is just a feature, but when the regular quality is actually super crappy hd is my only option

update: i cleared cache, cleared data, and uninstalled, reinstalled from the market, didnt log in and it still does the same damn thing

Works fine with stock rom.

System bar won't hide while watching YouTube in full screen

Hi,
I have this problem ever since i bought this tablet (n8010). When i watch YouTube and press on full screen, the lower bar (System, Navigation, Notification bar) won't hide. It happens with every rom i tried, original or custom, rooted or unrooted. A couple of friends of mine have the same tablet and when they watch YouTube it works just fine. Also, on my Note, using different video apps, the System Bar does hide while watching in full screen. I also don't think its the YouTube app's fault because on my Nexus 4 it works fine with the latest version of YouTube and i also tried deleting the update and watch with an older version but that didn't work as well.
Help anyone?
Thanks.

Can't play 1080p 60fps in YouTube anymore

Is anyone else getting this problem since the Nougat update? Yesterday I used safe mode which may have affected it though. I've tried restarting the phone,. cleaning the app data and system cache as well as uninstalling and reinstalling updates but it still only shows 720p maximum for 60fps videos. I had this problem on my HTC Butterfly s but for that phone it was more of a hardware limit.
I got the same problem. Surely it s not because you used safe mode.

Yeah I just saw some more YouTube app reviews from Google Play for the Z5 and there are some other people noticing the same issue. I'm more concerned it's something baked into the API with Android Nougat.
Also is anyone getting stuttering with the live preview of the camera? It doesn't really affect video but is pretty annoying. and the shutter lag is still there.

Try flashing new firmware in flashtool and select to wipe everything.
I use nougat and everything works perfectly.
1080p 60fps playback works in latest update of YouTube.

Blank XZP 4k video app

Have you restarted your device and cleared data from the problem apps? That may help.
I did both clear data on camera and restart and still not work..
ps: finally I did factory reset, and it works.. TT_TT
I was happy to buy xz premium . I recorded about 4 min of 4k video and I can not see it. The phone says "can not play video" I tried video, album or google drive and nothing. Now, I am so disappointed with this phone.

Many Youtube Videos Donwloaded Offline are Freezing on S7

Upgraded to S7 from S5 - everything is great, except I experience one very annoying issue: many YouTube videos I download for offline viewing (have YouTube Red) start freezing after a few minutes of watching. Sometimes they freeze right away. If I clear the YouTube cache and restart the app it works for a bit and then starts freezing again (the light circle in the middle is rotating and the video keeps frozen).
No freezing happens when I watch YouTube videos over the internet. Some offline videos work fine. But some consistently do not. Never had this issue with Galaxy S5.
Here is what I tried to fix this issue:
- Wiped cache partition
- Reinstalled YouTube (disabled, updated to new version) and restarted the phone
- Enabled Developer Options and Selected Force GRU rendering - this helped a bit, but did not resolve the issue
- Turned off hardware overlays in Developer Options.
- Turned on 4x MSAA in Developer Options.
- Cleared cache in Google Play app
- Switched download storage from SD to phone to eliminate any SD issue
Any ideas?
Hello,
my only idea is that there is not much to try when app crashes, all you can really do is check in the application settings (in the system settings of the phone and then "applications") if it has all the necessary permissions, clear cache as you did but I don't think it has anything to do with developer options like forcing GPU rendering.
So, all I can think of is:
- Write to Google to explain them the bug you encounter, they might have a solution or may release a fix in a future version of the app. As you use Youtube Red, you pay for a service, in the PlayStore you have been able to install the app so it means it's not incompatible with your S7, so you have the right to ask Google for a solution or a refund.
- Try to go on apkmirror and to get an older version of the app, maybe that bug wasn't there in earlier versions.
- Try to download offline videos with LTE, or with Wifi, to see if that change anything. Maybe your LTE connection or Wifi connection isn't stable and cause downloaded files to be corrupted.
Sorry, that's all I can help you with...
EDIT: I don't know how Youtube Red works about downloading videos, but can you choose the quality? Like 360p ou 1080p for example? If yes, then maybe try different quality settings to see if that has any influence on your bug.
In the end, I would probably it is a problem of corrupted files, or a codec problem maybe. I guess you can only read those videos with the Youtube app? If ever the videos are downloaded really like video files in your phone's memory, then maybe you could try an alternate video player to read them (but my guess is that they can only be read from the youtube app).

All video and animated GIFs show green screen

Hi
I have been spending all day trying to troubleshoot this problem. On my BLu G9 (rooted), I have battled the occasional glitch where videos would stop playing. A simple restart would take care of it. Now, suddenly it has become a green screen. I hear the audio. But no video.
In VLC, I disabled Hardware Acceleration and videos work fine. I tried that in Chrome, and Youtube works. But nothing else. Twitter videos and GIFs show green. I also use Youtube Vanced and its green as well. So this is a global problem. And I see no way to disable HA across the entire phone like you can on a PC.
Anyone have any ideas?
