Is anyone able to get 1440p 60fps videos working on youtube? I don't have the option on my Youtube app (latest version). I confirmed that the videos I was watching had the 1440p60 option on my laptop. VZW SD820 S7.
Also, does anyone else's video freeze/stutter when watching 1440p 30fps videos in YouTube? Sometimes the WiFi drops out for a sec too.
I am on the latest WiFi-fixed OTA.

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.
Hi all, does anyone know why I just get a black screen when trying to playback HDR videos on YouTube?
Hi there, I am using S10e. It supports HDR10+. I was trying to play a file (VP9 HDR WEBM container) that I downloaded from youtube. But strangely MX player is not picking up HDR. Does it support HDR in VP9 Codec? I tried both HW+ and SW Codecs but no success.
I tried playing the file via Samsung Video App but it showed an error probably due to either VP9 codec or Webm container.
Strangely I tried to play it via the Browser (Samsung Internet) via entering file:///sdcard/ and browsing to the file and it played in the Browser and also picked up the HDR (Brightness was automatically increased)
So can somebody help me with this?
UPDATE: I didn't mentioned that the video don't have any audio file and I had the audio file separately downloaded from youtube as you can't download HDR Videos and audio as a one file.
So I used the FFMPEG to mux them together in a Mkv Container and now video is played via Samsung Video Gallery with no error. It appears apparently lack of audio track resulted in error.
But HDR is not turning on even in Samsung Video Gallery. This suggests some deeper problem with VP9 HDR Playback. But then how Samsung Internet Browser was able to turn on HDR.
Anybody knows something on this?
So I searched about the VP9 Codec and it turns out it supports HDR via HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) instead of HDR10. So the question really trickles to "Does MX Player support HLG HDR Videos?"
I tried searching Google about this but couldn't find anything. So if somebody knows answer it please.
And also Samsung Video Gallery does pick HDR. I missed it as I was able to manually adjust brightness which irc, you cannot in HDR10 Videos but maybe this might not be the case with HLG Videos. And Colors do looks washed out in MX Player as compared to Samsung Video Gallery.
Oh god this is confusing. Apparently Video is HDR10 not HLG and VP9 do support HDR10 (or PQ, I don't know).
I was really hoping Video be HLG as it answered nearly all of questions but it is not.
So why isn't MX Player turning on HDR. And why is there Brightness control in Samsung Video App and why it is not showing HDR Logo???
Goddamnit!!

We apologise for the delayed response.
We would like to let you know that MX Player's HW / HW+ decoders make use of the hardware-accelerated decoders shipped with the device. So, the HDR support highly depends on the decoders in your device.
Could you enable the video enhancer on your device settings and try again on MX Player's HW and HW+ decoders? It may fix your problems.
No need to apologize.
I turned on the Video Enhancer and played the video but it didn't turned on the HDR.
Just now as I was about to reply, I played the video with HW encoder and surprisingly HDR was turned on. Video enhancer was off this time. But it is not turning on HDR with HW+ encoder. So something is not right there.
Hello, i have Yoga Smart Tab 10.1 (YT-X705F) with Snapdragon 439 and i have a problem i have never seen before.
I just restored the tablet to factory settings. Logged in with my account, updated youtube app. When i open any video with youtube app and set the quality to 1080p60fps, it tries to change it and then it changes back to 480p and i dont see the 720p60fps and 1080p60fps options in youtube app anymore. When i close the video and start it again, i see them again. 720p60fps option does work.
I tried playing video in chrome and firefox youtube player, 1080p60fps works, but its very choppy and slow. I have been having a lot of weird bugs with 60fps videos. For example some videos hosted on my NAS stream OK using my plex app, but some only in plex webpage player, some none at all. I have various android and ios devices at home and havent see this problem ever before. All my media problems seems to be linked to missing/bad 60fps video support.
I have tried several 3rd party youtube apps with advanced settings (like yt vanced), but i cannot get the 1080p60fps to work properly. Same problem with VLC and other video players playing 60fps videos.
Thanks.
Well, so i will answer my question. Lenovo was able to confirm, that this device and chip really does not have 60fps support.

I checked this with our team and they were able to confirm that the Yoga Smart Tab appears not to support that video quality (60fps) feature when used on YouTube and other apps.
