Video not recording in HD

I am currently running stock unrooted ROM 32.1.A.1.185 with unlocked bootloader. The video is currently to record in Full HD at 30 fps. When I inspect the details it says 1920x1080 but the file size does not look right. A 7 second video is around 15 MB or so. When I upload the video to Facebook and YouTube it's not recognised as HD. YouTube reports the size as 360p!
Has anyone else had this issue? I have trawled around as well as I could and found nothing reported. Do I just have a faulty phone?
Thanks,
D.
Further findings:
If I upload a video by recording it through the FB app then the HD option is available when viewing. If I record the video outside FB, then share it through the FB app, the HD option is not available when viewing! Go figure...

thats very odd and I dont know any solution aside to reflash the stock firmware of your device
I havent tried with youtube but anywhere where ive uploaded a video recorded from my phone it shows as 1080p

Very strange indeed. It seems to be weirdly network connection dependent. If I watch the same YouTube video on my desktop, on wired network, the 1080p option is available. If I watch it on the same network, but WiFi, it's only showing 480p!

Very odd im not sure what could be causing this but i know of some similar odd issues where youtube wouldent load on wifi for me some time ago, this was with my xperia z2 and a reflash and reset of the device solved this.

Youtube HDR

Pixel just got HDR youtube enabled by software solution. Wonder if huawei will ever do something like this?

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.

youtube zoom not working

Hello devs,
I recently purchased s8+ and after few hours of user pinch to zoom started working on youtube.
However, recently after 22nd feb youtube update youtube zoom has stopped working.
I tried force closing youtube, clearing data for the app but it didn't work.
I tried clearing the device cache in recovery mode but that didn't help either.
I tried downgrading the youtube version by removing the system app and installing an older version. That didn't help either.
I also enabled the video enhancer and changing the performance mode to entertainment. But, all in vein.
Surprisingly same version of youtube app is installed on my lg g6 and that works flawless. So, my hunch is this is to do something with our device.
Have you encountered this issue? Or, if you have resolved it using some method? If yes, please comment.
Thanks

I'm also experiencing this. My brother has the same phone with the same YouTube version and he can pinch to zoom, yet I cannot.
We are both completely stock on AT&T.

It doesn't work on all videos, i notice mainly the low res ones you cant zoom in.

I have this same problem. whatever they did in the last update broke it. I have the Canadian S8+.

Youtube showing notch in videos

Since I updated to android 9 youtube is showing the notch while playing videos when I pinch to zoom (doesn't hide like it was hidden on previous builds). Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Have you enabled full screen mode in settings for YouTube?

Same issue, using Vanced Magisk. No one seems to care or have a solution yet as Pie just isn't mainstream.
