Is it possible to watch videos at 2k on the YouTube app ? Why did youtube got rid of this option,yes I know that the pixel 2 does not have a 4k Screen but videos on 2k look better even on a 1080p screen because they have less compression , I used to watch 2k on my iphone plus all the time but it's not possible on the pixel , why does Google keep giving iOS users exclusive features ?
Was anyone of you successful to get Netflix running in 1080p?
I received my OP6 today. As I wasn't offered Netflix in Play Store, I downloaded the apk directly from Netflix and installed it. Netflix is working, but I don't seem to get 1080p running though my network connection is fine (28 MBit/s).

I downloaded Netflix from Google play just fine, how did you check what resolution is playing?
I just checked it by watching, and it is very "pixely", hence for sure no 1080p. Does an unlocked bootloader matter? Root is not installed yet.
Edit: Ok, I guess I found the problem. My OP6 isn't passing safety net (CTS profile match fail). Will have to install Magisk.
Unlocked bootloader = no netflix in play store. At least for me. Quality seems pretty good but no idea how to display the resolution used.
Netflix was in play store for me [emoji16]

I found out now that unlocking the bootloader turns Widevine from L1 to L3. Relocking the bootloader doesn't bring back L1.
But with Magisk installed I pass SafetyNet now and Netflix seems to have a high resolution.
Is there any way to find out the actual resolution of a Netflix stream?
I had to download the apk directly as it did not show up in the Play Store for me. I can't tell what the resolution is, but it looks sharp enough.
But apparently a lot of people have looked into this and the consensus seems to be that unlocking the bootloader will block HD content.
I don't get HD streaming on Netflix even though I pass the SafetyNet test.
Unfortunate.
I always find Netflix shows just seem very dark on the 6 as if the brightness is turned down. Really difficult to see stuff sometimes and seems like everything is filmed at night.

Have you tried turning the brightness up?

Yes makes little difference, still not really watchable. This is watching over 4g not that it should really make any difference.
Netflix is playing in 1080p on my OP6 - looks crisp and even crispier with brightness all the way up. Running on wifi and using Planet Earth to test.

Same here. With everything hidden in Magisk I am definitely getting HD in Netflix and Prime Video. No blurriness or pixelation at all.

This is exciting. Netflix/Amazon streaming is the only reason I haven't rooted yet. Any idea as to how this is possible when the 5 and 5T weren't able to get HD streaming?
Could any other rooted users check their streaming quality?

No idea, sorry. It's possible there's been some change in how the OP6 handles DRM.

Yes, just search for "Test Patterns" and play one of the videos, it will show you the current resolution (use original video size, if it's zoomed to fit the screen you can't see the resolution).
Strangly, my OP6 just gets HD (1280x720) but not Full HD (1920x1080).

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? Netflix streaming quality can be selected in account settings at www.netflix.com/YourAccount -> Playback settings.
Edit: I'm running a bootloader-locked OP6, and the "Test Patterns" videos always shows 1280x720 no matter what my playback settings are set to.

I just got an Essential phone on Prime Day and picked up the $19 360 camera deal the day after. I have been able to upload the 360 pictures to Google photos and those work in Daydream (on a Pixel 2), but if I try to view video it won't load.
Does anyone know of a daydream video viewer or converter to be able to view the video in Daydream?

does redmi note 6 pro Play it? I have Redmi 6 pro
Recorded video is Full HD (1920x1080, or the reverse), it appears to be played roughly centered. YouTube plays videos centered as well, and while its UI elements appear to extend further the area with the notch does not appear to be used in playback or navigation.
It doesn't make much sense to play video in the notch, you'd mess up the aspect ratio and lose a chunk of the video. On the plus side you could now have a Full HD vertical video playing and notifications still in the notch area.
No, videos don't reach the notch, they "stop" just under it. When watching YouTube videos for example the notch area is just black.

Hi guys,
I have note 7 pro.
I'm trying to screen cast my phone to a tv.
I can do that with no problem. I can stream YouTube videos but when I try to stream video from Amazon prime video only the audio plays and no video it's just blank.
Tried restart, reinstall app, clear data no luck.
Please help.
I also checked I have DRM L1 certificate.
Edit : can cast from note 5 pro but not from note 7 pro.
Thank you
Hey guys any help around here?
Amazon prime doesn't let you record screen or cast the screen for piracy issues...hence the screen goes black, only sound can be heard...

No, they have removed that and as of June, they released offical Chromecast support.
