Did anyone notice a choppy video playback using YouTube app on the N5?. I tried my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 playing HD videos on youtube , it is choppy on my N5 where it is smooth on my N4.I did not try other video players.

Yeah, that's what I notice too. I mean, the video looks stunning, but it doesn't seem to be running smoothly at all.
I ran it side by side with my iPhone 4S, and my iPhone played the video much smoother overall. I thought I was just seeing thing until it reached one part in the video where the same kid in the video raising his hand to point at the sky. The arm movement right there was noticeably unnatural in the Nexus 5, compare to my iPhone 4S's playback.
Does anyone know an app that can show you what the currently playing video's fps is?
I have not experienced this... well I haven't notice it if it is choppy

Do you have any other smartphones that is capable of playing youtube videos? Pull the same video up across both both phones and start the playback at the same time.
Better yet, compare it against your PC browser.

Can confirm that that video is much choppier on the Nexus 5 compared to the Nexus 4. No idea why. Doesn't make any sense.

I hope it's just some optimization problem that can be fixed with software update(s). I'd really hate to return this phone back, but it's quite a deal-breaker for someone like me who uses the phone as an on-the-go multimedia player.
Are there any alternative apps that can play HD youtube videos smoothly?

Sometimes these issues are also caused by user settings like what and how many apps or widgets running in the background, Google syncronisation interval and what apps connect to the internet etc etc.

Well, there are people like me and you who notice the "stuttering" (I wouldn't call it choppy, because still frames are just as clear as my 4S). Then, there are others that say it does not stutter even in the slightest.
I don't know what to believe in anymore.
Maybe the YouTube app isn`t fully optimsed for KitKat yet.
hmm I can only just notice it - though if I wasn't looking for it I doubt I'd notice it

Probably a good test would be download the video using for example tubemate, then play the local copy this would help determine whether network latencies are contributing to any lags or if caused by decoding the video if it occurs when local copy.
Then try hw vs Sw decoding.
Will test when I ve got time.
My preferred video player is MX player that currently doesn't run on kit kat

yeah its very stuttery. Whats worse the youtube app doesn't seem to be able to get 1080p and 720 upscaled looks atrocious. Playing the same video on my 2 year old One XL and this phone, the Nexus is so much worse in terms of stutter, upscaling and color that I'm very disappointed at the moment.

A ROM can't do hardware changes (inb4 Nexus One 720p). It's a hardware limitation.
Please use search, there are many threads about this discussion in the past.
Yea, the Nexus One 720p is just upscaled anyway.
This can be enabled and I've been using it with tweaks. Does work with no issues yet three hours of hard testing

Have you checked media playback compatibility? As I understand it, stagefright removes support for a lot of media formats.

try changing the http to false, then try streaming again.
I noticed less buffering and clearer music (ie pandora, movies, anything streamed)
on some phones that breaks youtube.com mobile site but not the app. doesn't appear to break it on the infuse though
That's actually something I have been doing for a while now. The others I enabled but really noticed no difference enabled vs disabled other than quadrant increase.

it has always been my experience with Samsung gb that stagefright breaks .flac .mkv h264 .wav and a few others. i haven't tested on the infuse. it may just break. mkv and not all h264. the quadrant increase is likely due to an increase in h264 decoding speed and nothing else but it might be misreporting something or stagefright might not work with the Samsung movie player or the Samsung rom yet still apparently work in quadrant.
it shouldn't be a problem in cm7 where some formats need a 3rd party app that would be supported buy the Samsung app.

Well not everything supports ics yet, nor has adobe flash been reliable in the past. I had the original gs2 and it had problems with flash vs my inspire 4g which was flawless. It's all about software!!
Yeah, Flash blows. Perhaps on your Note it was defaulting to HTML5 video instead of Flash? Just a thought.
I dont understand why playing a 720p video from youtube is stuttering and cant even keep up. my s2 was able to play 1080p

What's everyone using for their music app on their N5? I'm coming from an SGS3 and really don't like Google Music. I'm also hoping to be able to play occasional .flac files. Anyone have a suggestion?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I've used Player Pro for a couple of years, and always been quite happy. Great sound with the DSP pack addon installed, and a good number features.
I haven't used it for. flac files, but have been told that the DSP pack enables support for these.
I have also used PowerAmp, but in the end have preferred the interface and sound quality of Player Pro.
Caveat: As with most, I just got my Nexus, so I've really only had one opportunity to play music.

Agreed. Finally a music app that looks good and doesn't have annoying quirks.
Playerpro together with ios7 holo skin. The best.
poweramp
Is the built in player too bad? I used Apollo on my old Cappy.
I ended up pulling the music.apk from AOSP 4.4 and I'm really liking it and the lock screen widget but the lack of a home screen widget really sucks. Its got a pretty respectable eq as well. I'll have to give some of the mentioned ones a go.

I've noticed a huge improvement in the sound quality through my earpiece when using googles play music on this device. In past android devices the sound quality has always sucked and I've used power amp as a slightly better option. On the n5 tho, the sound is incredible. Mind you, I'm using a high quality earpiece but I used the same ones on many of my android devices (and I've had MANY) and the n5 has a much better sound quality. Just my two cents. Don't need another player in this device. Besides, the cloud is nice. I have a ton of music on it & so it doesn't take up my storage space.

hi, can someone tell me what video/movie player with codecs specifically works on nexus5? i tried BSplayer and mobo player and i don't get video, its just black screen and audio works fine, just no video,
thanks
using latest moboplayer and bsplayer
should i try mxplayer?
Have you tired using the alternate HW encoding feature? I believe it's in the preferences somewhere. I think the app actually has a little warning sign to try this if you are having problems with BS. I use it on my N5 without problems but my current videos are MP4 formats. Have tried any others.
