Is it still necessary to have a hack for Netflix to display on the higher resolution screens in HD... ??
or has Netflix been updated to the point that it streams in HD anyway now?
The app claims to auto adjust to HD when the hardware supports it and the stream speed is sufficient for it. For me, it appears as close to HD as my eye can tell.

The title says it all, I saw on Motorola Developer site that it's able, but when I try running one, it doesn't work! Is it a bug, or only me?

You're gonna have to be a little more specific when you say 1080p playback...
Download tube mate, download a 1080p video, try running on your device

The point is 1080p is very vague. What video format, container, etc?
Historically, the xoom has always had issues playing high profile h264 content. The container doesn't really matter. Using known software decoders provides low framerate playback at best. Its likely we'll have to wait for next gen hardware to get some decent high profile playback.
Hi there,
What processor should I get if I want my tablet to play most of Full HD movies out there, in any codecs? How come a FHD video file can be played flawlessly on a PC with dualcore processor, but cant on a tablet?
Thanx

I'm guessing because of screen resolution. What tablet do you own?

Hi,
Sorry for not being clear, I am going to purchase my 1st tablet, so I need to ask this question
I will likely purchase a tablet with high res screen (approximately FHD).

I can play 1080p 3D video fine on my mk802 which has a single core arm cpu running at 912 mhz using ice cream sandwich.
Maybe better option would be to give an idea of how much you can spend and what sort of uses you want from a tablet (eg gaming) and then people could recommend the best featured tablets that suit your budget?

Hi,
Thank for your suggestion. My main usage is as follows:
Watch 1080p movie in various formats and codec, source is shared via network driver (DLNA or streaming using VLC), output to TV.
A good audio output and screen with 200+ pixel density
Checking email, facebook, read news etc.,
Video Chatting with my family.
Game and other apps (no need for hardware-killer games)
Price as low as possible, of course
I look in the play store and see some apps eg WorldsGreatestApp and next to it I see WorldsGreatestApp HD.
What does the HD mean?
High definition.

HD for High Definition, also an indication that the app will be suited to larger screened devices such as tablets.
Afternoon all.
Recently got an upgrade and since I wasnt to fussed on the S5 I decided to get a Xperia Z1. .
Bad choice since id gotta used to samsung from S2 owned all S devices. . .so luckily i was given the chance to swap the xperia to a lovely note 3 
I really like it and since the specs dont differ much from the upcoming S5 ( camera slighty better and 2.5 ghz instead of notes 2.3) its a good choice i feel.
What i have noticed is the pixel density is lower from S4 and S5 but i really dont see it the difference in fact the note 3 screen seems better?
Anyway sorry for long intro but when i play HD youtube or even the HD helicopter video included on phone i cant help but think the HD isnt as clear or good as the S4 . .
Could that be the pixel density or something else?
Cheers guys

Well YouTube HD movies are little pixelated, download it and play from any video player.

Youtube hd videos are highly compressed. So quality isnt that great
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
HD on Youtube isn't really HD. It's 'close enough to fool everyone who can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080'.
They've compressed the video so tightly it' s become blurry. You don't notice it on an s4 because the screen is much smaller.

The S4 or S5 have the same screen resolution as the note 3 but are considerably smaller in screen size. As the picture is spread out there will be some slight degradation in hd quality but not so noticeable as to be called bad...
My HOXL cant play any HD Video 720p Or 1080p fine without lag whether its mp4,avi or wma

What app are you using? Mx with proper codec works fine for me. Software rendering or hardware?
Have you tried both?

By the way why stock video player cant play it smoothly? I have xperia v also,it has same processor & gpu it plays full hd super smooth with its own video player

Can't say I watch too much 1080 video on my phone (do most of my video watching on my Note 8 tablet), but MX Player is what I use too.
The HTC stock player has always been a joke. Its not compatible with a lot of formats/codecs, I've never really made any use of it aside from watching the videos I've taken with the phone's video camera. In general, I've never been much a user of stock players from any manufacturer. There is always going to be incomplete format support and/or performance lag. I'm guessing its due to licensing of various proprietary formats/codecs. Good 3rd party players are the way to go on Android.
Why the stock player lags now on Sense 5, when it didn't before, I can't say for certain. Lots has been updated in Sense 5, but HTC seems to break as many things as they fix sometimes. So this may be one of those cases. I haven't read about this issue before, so there is likely no easy fix.
