I've been watching some YouTube on NY nexus 5 and I've been watching it on HD and it always seems to buffer and my nexus 4 never did that, I might understand if it is 1080p, is it?

Can't be 100% sure but it seems to be for me.

Pretty sure YouTube only streams to phones in 720p and only modified YouTube apps can allow 1080p playback.

Yeah there's a thread with a modified YouTube app in the Android Development section of the forums. Only thing about it is that it's the old YouTube app, not this new one.

buffering issues have very little to do with bandwidth. I get around 70mbits download and I still get hit with buffer. There are some issues with the way youtube handles traffic. I have heard of solutions involving blocking certain ip/ports and also clearing your cache uninstalling and re-installing the youtube app. It's pretty lame
This is how I noticed that my WiFi connection was always slowing to a crawl. Toggling WiFi off/on returns speeds to normal.

Buy an iPhone.
GNote Paranoid JB 1.991 insanity kernel..darkside
because Note's level of Awesomeness requires it to take more bandwidth
jk, i dont know why maybe your net slowed down? i have an iphone 4s too but they browse same on both.
maybe you need to check the settings (for preloading) option

The youtube app on the 3gs has a different standard videoquality. 240p vs 320p I think.
note plays HD videos by default... but I phone app doesnt

Does anyone know what apk or way to run HD on Netflix app? I have tried several apps that I have found on the web and they either don't run or look about the same. The stock Netflix app looks horrible I wish there was an option like on the YouTube app to turn on HD.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
HD Netflix is enabled when Netflix has a great connection to the network that you are using whether it is wifi or data. I've had crappy quality on wifi. It all depends on how great your connection is.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I'd say your both right. ..but if want to max out your quality, sign into Netflix, go into stream setting and check hq.. and watch those GB fly bye
Hope this helps ya
I've tried it with rock solid 4g and WiFi and it's always ****. Going to try the other suggestion now.

I've heard that the option on Netflix.com to stream high quality does not work for cell phones somewhere. Also I have strong 4g everywhere and it still looks pixelated when I watch Netflix. YouTube looks a lot clearer on HD.

Mine starts choppy then after a while looks crisp, it never starts clear on mobile give it like a minute to adjust.how this helps

Hey guys.
I'm loving my Nexus 5. But I use xbmc on a daily basis for streaming movies and TV shows from icefilms and navi x.
I've been trying to play some videos and every video I have played so far has cracking in the audio and the video is very stuttery. This is the same on different sources and 720p and lower quality video.
Can anybody else test this or advise on anything that could help fix it?
Surely its not the Nexus 5 specs causing the problem.
Regards,
Adam

Definitely not a hardware limitation. Maybe your internet streaming bandwidth isn't enough for HD streams?

Wait for support from xbmc to make it work on 4.4. It's just google changed a few things with regards to API's in 4.4

I've tried lower res aswell. Its the same. I've not had probs streaming HD with any other phone anyway.
Think it's like poster above suggests, changes in 4.4 maybe?

Do you also have problems while watching videos that are saved on the phone or YouTube video's? I noticed some stuttering while playing video's as wel but it doesnt stem to be limited to one app.

Went through same issues with a different Snapdragon 800 device and did a lot of testing. Though not perfect monthly build version 13.0 alpha 7 appears to be the most usable of the bunch. Give this a shot:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/xbmc-13.0-Gotham_alpha7-armeabi-v7a.apk
Are you using nightly builds?
Every Chanel of xbmc has stuttering from image to sound. Gotta try the new build.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm using the latest nightly (xbmc-20131211-210cf9f-master-armeabi-v7a.apk) from the 11 December from http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/xbmc/nightlies/android/arm/
Most of the add-ons do not work but I haven't had any issues with sound on video playback.
Is anyone else having trouble streaming videos in the browser or YouTube app. It loads to a certain point of the video and then takes forever to load the rest if at all. I should not that my Netflix app does not have this problem. It is on both WiFi and LTE which this occurs.

Does the audio still play, but the video freeze? That's what is happening to me.

Mine already set to high quality but I see some grainy picture compare to Netflix. Is there any solution on this?

If you tap the settings while playing a YouTube video, an option for HD & SD is available. Maybe you already know this but I thought I'd share.

Try 4.4.2 it's much better for our device
