Can anybody play 1080p videos on Hotstar? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not able to play 1080p videos on Hotstar app. N5 has 1080p resolution display. It should be able to play 1080p but I can't see the option in video quality. For me the max resolution is 720p. And this is for all the content. I checked with many different content. Tried clearing the cache and reinstalling the app. But nothing worked. Is it because the device is rooted? I am currently on Oreo.

I'm able to play
In my mobile it is showing 1080 resolution as well. Can you try in Hotstar web version and confirm if you are still not able to view videos in 1080 resolution.

Hi,
the latest versions of VLC are able to play with no issues 4k contents, you can get the nightly builds directly from here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/
Otherwise the new version MX Player Pro v1.7.31 supports now the K1 natively but it crash often, I tested it.
As far as I see some video are played directly smoothly with the built-in player.

I know it can play the some samsung 4k sample clips i have but its not true 4k since it crops some of the video.

no 1080p option in youtube app

I just bought the note pro 12.2 and there is no 1080p option in youtube app. only up to 720p
How can I enable 1080p option?
Are you sure it's not just a particular video you're watching isn't available in 1080p?
I'm currently watching Marques Brownlee's (MKBHD) video on the Apple Watch in 1440p on my wifi model. The 1080p option is also available.

I tried the same video. (mkbhd). all the videos in youtube shows only 720p.
I have rooted my note pro 12.2 wifi and changed dpi setting. I tried default dpi but the result was same
I don't know what to do to fix it.
.
problem solved. uninstalling youtube updates fixed the problem.
Youtube 1080
I read somewhere that the 720p had come about due to the fact that the videos are only being streamed at that resolution... even if they purport to be 1080p or even higher.

Youtube video no options to choose 1080p+ videos on S8+

Hi,
I have purchased S8+ a month back and facing issues with youtube. I have tried with multiple videos and the max quality it shows is 720p for any video. I try the same videos on my OnePlus one and it shows 1080p.
I searched the net and tried multiple solutions without success.
1. unistalling updates
2. Clearing cache....etc
Please guide how this can be resolved as I want to see 4K and 1080p videos.
Thanks for any help.
Maybe yoir resolution is set to 720p from display settings.
Worked thank you.

YouTube Maximum Playback Resolution

It seems that I can only watch the YouTube videos at a maximum resolution of 720p despite some videos having 1440p or even 1080p. How do I enable this? Thank you.

Maximum playback for YouTube is 1080P because it's a 1080p Display.
Otherwise you can use YouTube Vanced, there you can watch videos in 4k+.

Question 4K videos don't play when playing from browser

i just tested this on chrome and samsung internet, and both get an error when i try to watch porn on 4K. Go to spankbang and see if it works for you. My display resolution is set to 1440p. Can someone try and confirm maybe it's not our phones but the video processing that spankbang uses?
I don't know where to begin..

On the real though you probably can't watch 4k smutting because your display isn't 4k. That's the reason non smut video services like Netflix and Prime video only play in 1080p. YouTube bypasses this by upscaling and downscaling videos.
This is peak XDA.

Well what i'm saying is, on my S10 5G, even if i set my resolution to 1080p as my phone display, i was able to choose the 4K streaming setting from the website on the browser. On this phone I can't do that, it shows an X and says it cannot be played.
I think people are overlooking the fact that its an adult site, but overall, I find this quite strange because it is the first time I've seen that it doesn't allow the actual stream setting to not play whether or not the phone display is set to 4K itself.
