I tried playing some 4K Hdr 60fps (2160p 60 Hdr) videos on the YouTube app (updated version) on my xzp .. although it did play but it was slow as hell.. I tried several times on several videos and it's always the same problem that happened.. Notice that everything works flawlessly on my xzp and all apps and system are up to date.

I also have the same issue running the videos at 480p HDR works but obviously 480p looks rubbish these days. 1080p is slightly faster than 4k but still slow. I watched horizon zero dawn and it does look amazing on this 4k screen I feel like I can tell the difference between it and my 4k non Hdr bravia because its not been given Hdr support even though it is capable. It could be due to the snapdragon 835 not being able to process 4k and Hdr at the same time. My device warms up more when playing 4k files more so than when I play games. It could also be due to 60fps on the videos so ill try look for a 30fps one see if it works with that.
Edit: doesnt seem like I can find a 30fps one at the moment. I do have this video downloaded and playing it through the video app works flawlessly. https://youtu.be/74SZXCQb44s
If you want to download some clips just search Google for Hdr clips theres 2 websites I found that work.
http://demo-uhd3d.com/categorie.php?tag=hdr
http://4kmedia.org
Those are the 2 websites I found.
Edit2: the videos on YouTube also play flawlessly at 720p HDR

Well if it due to the chipset, shame on you Sony for selling us a "4k Hdr screen" with an incapable processor for doing such a job.
I can't see any option on the YouTube app to play 4k Hdr content on 30fps (as the default remains to 60) and yes the phone is getting warm in a noticeable level (even warmer than playing 3d games or shooting 4k videos).
On the other hand,native 4k videos on the YouTube app are working like a charm at the highest frame and no overheat at all
Hdr update in hight resolutions have a bug.
In s8 2k hdr laggy
Wait next update

Well I do notice a difference between Hdr and sdr I downloaded an Hdr video in 4k from YouTube to see if it lagged but it didnt because the downloaded file didnt actually have HDR so I thought id do a side by side comparison and the difference is noticeable.
Left side is a screenshot from YouTube in 4K HDR and the right side is the downloaded file in 4K SDR.
The dowloads YouTube doing external server no youtube

The GPU is more than capable of 4K delivery. Whether or not your network is any good or not is a different matter, 4K is brutal on bandwidth.

I'am talking about 4k Hdr videos .. Not native 4k as I said it before it works flawlessly on the YouTube app.. I'm on unlimited 4g+ plan btw
Try playing some 4k hdr videos on the YouTube app (change resolution to 2160p60 Hdr) and tell us if it plays smoothly or not (like it's in slow motion)
Same issue, if i try to play a video on youtube app at 4k hdr the video go very slow like slow motion
Yes same problem for me, play video 4k hdr 60fps on youtube app and its in slow motion (960fps )

Well I would say right side picture looks better, left one is just warmer and darker.
Shouldn't it be opposite? I can see more details, brighter shadows on the right picture.
Are you sure left one is HDR? If so I would stick with no hdr as for me it looks better and does not have such yellow tint to make picture look warmer / oversaturated.
It's more natural with brighter shadows.

My brother said the same thing but after he saw the video on YouTube although it stuttered he said it could be more realistic if you considered the direct sunlight on his face. The right one looks like someone shone a light bulb at his face but the left one does look like sunglight. If you watch the video yourself you will be able to notice the difference. I know it is Hdr because I took a screenshot from YouTube at 4k Hdr while it lagged.
Having the same problem. All YouTube 4k HDR @60fps videos play with a lot of stutter that makes videos unwatchable. HDR on YouTube seems to only work at 720p HDR @60fps.
Is there a common denominator between your phones experiencing the issue as on mine it all plays flawlessly with no heat or lag. What firmware are you running??
Latest XZP firmware (EE UK variant). Playing the above video at 2160p60 in HDR causes stutter in the video. It's not my Internet because the audio is totally fine and it doesn't stop to buffer the video. 720p60 in HDR is smooth.

Im using amazon UK varient purchased from eBay UK and im also having the issue. Your correct, its not network speed because I have a fast Internet connection and all 4k 60 videos play fine on my bravia including the one provided although my bravia only supports Hdr through usb. I think it might be Googles fault. Apparently the S8 has the same issue at 2k 60 as we may see when we play at 2k or even 1080p. Only 720p works for now but its blurry. I blame Google for using vp9 which is hard for devices to play. Even some TV's cant use Hdr because their cpu cant handle vp9. The snapdragon 835 should be more than capable. I feel that some tvs have a worse cpu than that and it works too so I also blame software. We should get an update from Google/Sony if not both soon to solve the issue. They cant leave it like this forever else its a flaw in Android.

I agree, The phone can play HEVC 10bit 4k content without any issues whatsoever. it has the grunt to do it, if its not working then what it lacks is the proper backing of the app.

My Youtube no longer have the 4k Option after Oreo update. is this normal ?
Hi. so after the update, I no longer have the 4k viewing option. only full HD. is this normal ? How do I get it back ? Thanks
4k is still there. It is removed, however, for 4k HDR content due to an issue with the app.
For normal non HDR videos 4K is still there. But videos with HDR is now limited to 1080p due to performance issues with pretty much every device: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/11/04/hdr-youtube-app-now-maxes-1080p/ Shame they don't offer an option to just watch the non-HDR version instead.

1080p Full HD @ 60fps video recording in MIUI 10
So i tried miui 10 stable and dev, however [email protected] is weird. One video is recorded in 20fps, second in 60fps, then third in 30fps. All recorded under same light conditions. Can anyone test this and post results?
For me it seems 60fps works fine, but its way darker in low light than in 30 fps mode. Using open camera lighting is normal.

Click to collapse Download Media info app from Play Store and check if the recorded video is really 60fps. When I tried MIUI beta build last time, the 60fps seemed to work fine but then I checked and it was 30fps actually, it was just higher bitrate, something is messed up in the camera libs. It's 2018 and we can't have a proper 60fps video, great work Xiaomi, great.
hdr on android 9 working ?
i tried hdr on or off while in manual settings on the new photo app of android 9 but i see no difference, did i miss something or is it just disabled by sony on xz premium to force us to buy a new phone if we want hdr photo ? is there a hdr in video mode ? i also see no difference bewteen a 4k video on android8 and and android 9 (but there is no hdr toggle for video in android 9 so it does not seem available on xz premium ( by hdr video i mean raising the shadows and providing details in the highlights such as the sky and not the other hdr type that requires a hdr monitor)

Click to collapse the snapdragon 835 can do hdr video capture( https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-835-mobile-platform ) and the camera sensor is the same on xzp and xzp2 so it is just sony disabling features in older phones to force you to buy their latest phone. UPDATE : it seems the image pipeline was redone for xz2 premium so we are out of luck with our "old" xz premium if we want hdr video.
The XZ Premium can't record HDR Videos (4K) But we got SDR TO HDR Conversion. It's the "new" video image enchantment. Sony support confirmed it on Twitter DMs. As the name says, it works on video and it can work on a few apps that they don't mention which.

I am so happy! I started flipping between recent's app going to youtube and back to the video app (or photo they both support it) while I was watching the same video on both, and I was shocked to see that its ALOT more colorful and dynamic in the video app than on youtube (set on 4k on youtube). I was skeptical about it but now that I tried, I can confirm with full confidence that we have SDR to HDR! try it your self and let me know if you notice it too

XZ Premium uses BionzX for camera , and it does not support HDR recording. On XZ2 and on camera uses Qualcomm ISP for camera processing.

Compatibility
Magisk 18+
Samsung Experience / OneUI based ROM required

Other helpful tips
To get higher quality videos you can optionally:
Switch MOD SETTINGS → Video encoder from H.264 to H.265 (at expense of compatibility, i.e. older phones won't play these, Telegram won't let you compress them)
Increase MOD SETTINGS → Video bitrate (causes videos to occupy more storage space)
Special thanks to
@M132 for spending nights with me reverse engineering the APK and libraries
I don't mind that you have improved the camera mod in a lot of ways. Kudos it certainly takes a lot of time. It appears to be a much much more efficient way of doing it. I know that you have referenced mine in many ways, I am just disappointed you never credited.
Installed this camera mod on my rooted S7 G930F. Found only one problem: video record does not work correctly. After recording is finished, playing the video is not possible. It will only show 1 or maybe 2 seconds of the video and then stops. But the recorded sound continues playing (like the screen is frozen, but the sound continues). Tried different video players, but that's not the problem. Also tried every possible video setting and even cleaned data/cache from the Camera app and also from ShootingModeProvider. After this I uninstalled the mod and tried flashing it by TWRP. Still the same problem... any suggestions?

Click to collapse I started to work on this mod because I got disappointed by your one lacking such simple features as 2160p60 and 1080p240 support, so while your camera mod has indirectly affected the existence of this one, most of the work has been redone from scratch. The only things I've taken from your mod here are mode and feature lists of camera-features-v7.xml. The APKs and libraries are directly based on stock ones (taken from official S7, S8 and Note8 ROMs), with me and @M132 spending nights to publicly reverse engineer them (see the linked Telegram group). Any similarities between the mods are coincidences, most likely because people think alike when it comes to resolving simple problems.

I am not even finished yet ! What an amazing and great mod ! I have never seen such an implemted mod before, so extensive and so many options ! I wish you a very happy and successful year mate.

G950F Is there any way to play back [email protected] smoothly on the phone?
Hey there. I am a complete noob to getting root access and then installing a modded application. I have an S8 with Exynos and I have a few questions after I have gotten root acces via Magisk. First, this just replaces the stock Samsung Camera app, with the altered Samsung Camera app right? The quality in terms of dynamic range, noise etc. should be the same I suspect. How does the auto focus perform at 4K 60fps? I am very willing to root my phone and try this mod out, but I am also a bit intimidated. Anyway, it seems that you put in a lot of effort, so well done!
Hello there First of all, amazing work on this mod, it's awesome! Question: does super slow mo work? Whenever I select it it says saving video even though I haven't started recording anything and the recording button is still there Pressing the record button makes it say recording and the camera still moves all right but you can't exit the current screen (which still says saving video btw) Does the feature work or is it a bug Clearing shootingmodeprovider doesn't do anything. Thanks again for your hard work Edit: Forgot to add I'm using the S7 Edge G935F
any video which has stabilisation enabled(like fhd 30 whd 30) is not shot well, green lines appear in the video. some problem with stabilisation i guess. s8 exynos here.
Update: I rooted my S8, just to try out this mod. I have tried out the LGcam app before, but that one was awful (noise and dynamic range were awful). This mod is incredible! 4K 60fps footage is of the same exact quality as the 4K 30fps footage, but at double the framerate (duh). Ofcourse since it is shooting in 60fps, low light performance and auto focus is similar to the standard 1080p 60fps mode I was used to. I am going to be playing around with all the added options for some time. Big thanks.
Didn't work on Alexis rom. Uses ported S9 camera. Got black screen and "camera failed" when I opened it.
1. I get recording failed after several days. Clearing data and cache doesn't work. 2. The selfie pro mode is unstable, espeacially changing the color temperature. After tweaking some setting, the camera fc immediately. Edit: After restarting, the recording problem has gone.
After install this module on S7 edge SurroundShot quality is very bad! can you increase SurroundShot quality in next update?
Great mod! Would it be possible to add an option to replace the default Slow Motion mode (720p 240) with 1080p 240?
Netflix HDR Content
What are your thoughts on watching Netflix HDR Content on the tab s6? I'm a little underwhelmed by it.
Netflix HDR sucks in general. The key to HDR is bright and colorful images with sharp contrast. Netflix just turns the brightness down on everything and calls it HDR. Even on my 4K UHD television Netflix sucks.
How does it look when rooted ?
Hello, my question is... has anyone rooted the tab s6 after the last software update and still getting this issue above?
