Has anyone else noticed that since the last OTA update, the individual video brightness feature is gone? Can someone on a stock rom check to make sure I'm not going crazy?
I am on the original stock rom. The phone was rooted about 6 weeks ago.
I checked under settings>display>brightness.....but didn't see a video adjustment level.
But I am probably looking in the wrong place. Let me know where it is and ill check again.....

I'm not on stock but did you go to the video app and check the preferences? There should be an option there. If it's gone, I guess they did remove it since people were complaining.
But no worries! MX player (or was it BS player?) has a feature where you can set the brightness for videos played with the app.

Yup they removed it from the video player settings.
Yes they've removed it from browser also. But no big deal since we have brightness toggle in pull down menu (=

Hello,
I noticed that the default youtube player always plays the video in low quality. I can then press a button and select playing in high quality, but I wish I could do that by default, I mean that the player should open the video in its best quality. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thank you!

I'd love to do that as well.
Just change the settings. Open the youtube app, menu > settings & its the 1st option
thanks but for some reason i dont have this option in my youtube player. the version is 1.5.20. the menu reads like this:
general settings: clear search history
time settings: fillter videos by time
and that's it.
Me too, I don't have this setting.

Are you just trolling? What phone are you actually using? You know this is the HTC Desire forums right?

mine is 1.6.20,
im on modaco r3 rom, which has the option
I'm on Modaco R2, and I have the option also (YT version is 1.6.x)
Well if people are on custom ROMs is it not beholden on them to assume MOST people are not and to not give general advice as if we all share the same settings?
C'mon people, think.

I don't have either on my Factory-Unlocked Desire on O2... So may be it's a feature chefs putting in custom ROMs.
I can set it to high quality NP, stock rom - unlocked desire.
thanks again, and everyone else for their opinions. I am NOT trolling (nor am I sure what that means). I am using a perfectly new out of the box HTC Desire, network free and un-rooted or un-hacked or un-anything. It was bought in Romania.
I still don't have that option in my youtube player. It's a little annoying that it plays the low quality by default, especially since I have a large data plan.
I have this option on desire straight from o2. App version says 1.6.19 (E) Dont think it was there on my previous desire from 3 though (I could be wrong)
App 1.5.2 stock ROM using T-Mobile within the UK here... the video always starts in high quality. Initially, it started in the normal quality (which horrified me, heh) until I changed it for one vid and the option stuck ever since. I can only change the quality by pausing the video when it starts, clicking menu>more> and I see the option there to change to normal quality, or vice-versa if you start on the normal quality to begin with.
Low... Err normal quality is terrible; high quality seems good enough really. High quality on Youtube generally gives me a 29FPS 480x270 554Kbps H.264 MP4 vid using the app. Low quality is at 104Kbps -- haven't precisely managed to get the rest of the data yet.
My problem is that using the default browser or HTC's flash app gives vids always in the low quality without any option to change this. So I have to use Meridian to play most vids (nice app).
EDIT: a correction and added some more useful info.

Great, thanks for the link.
Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys are having this issue as well? I tested 2x Note 2's and they both do this. The problem i'm having is whenever I rotate the device while viewing a video, screen brightness/contrast/gamma (i really don't know which?) goes up momentarily and goes back to normal again. It doesn't do this on stock video player but for example YouTube or MX Player does this. As for YouTube, go to play store and play any app demo videos because if you actually go to YouTube app when you rotate the device video will rotate as well and it's hard to see this problem.
Update: as for MX Player, this problem stopped when I put screen orientation to "landscape", by default it was on auto rotation (landscape). I think Note 2's system auto-rotation is conflicting with app's rotation?? Not a huge issue but gets really annoying I hope I didn't get 2x defective note2s....
Do you have smart rotation enabled?

Oh man... Thanks man, Yep that was the cause of this issue.... I turned off auto-rotation, I didn't think smart rotation would be still active.
All these good features causes at least one issues, what the heck... Smart rotation off, ripple effect off... I wonder what's next, hopefully nothing too major! :/

I didn't even notice the issue with the ripple effect until you mentioned it, hehe.
Hello everyone. My wife and I just received 4.2.2 OTA for our GNEX and we discovered a bug. If you watch a YouTube video in fullscreen mode and receive a call, the video will keep playing (audio). You will see the call prompt, and if you swipe to answer, the audio from the video will keep playing in the ear piece rendering the call useless. Also, after ending the call (which you will have to do), the video will keep playing even with the default stock browser hidden in the background (this part I like). So Google, fix the full screen call bug, but add/keep the feature to keep playing Flash videos when the browser is hidden.
Edit: This is most likely unrelated to 4.2.2. I believe it's a Flash or stock browser bug.

We're running Takju, not that it makes a difference. Chrome doesn't support Flash, so if you are watching YouTube in Chrome, it must be HTML5. That would mean it's a Flash bug I guess. I will test the YouTube app. Thanks for the feedback!
Edit: I just tested the YouTube app and the bug is not present. So this is most likely a Flash bug, and since Flash is no longer officially supported, I don't think we will see a fix for this anytime soon.

But maybe it can be a bug of flash? I really don't know.
What browser or app are you using to watch flash videos on Android 4.2.2?
ok, We are waiting your feedback.. Your doubts/problem can be the same of many others

Yeah, I think it's a Flash bug. Like you said, the YouTube app doesn't have this problem. I usually watch YouTube videos using the stock browser.

Has anyone else experienced this bug using the stock browser?
Well, I have read stuff about the Nexus 5x saving upside down images/vids with 3rd party apps that didn't use API correctly, but today I saved a video, which looks OK on the device, but when I send it to the PC.. it is upside down.
Is this common? it has any fix? can I fix the vid somehow?
If this happens to the stock camera... what the **** Google..
I've read somewhere that it's normal, the sensor it's upside-down so it puts a flags for apps to turn it around.. the problem is that I tested any program on Windows (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, VLC, WMP, etc..) and ALL of them show the video upside-down...

Hmm, I downloaded the last version from hpc hc yesterday and it was still upside down. What is that madvr render stuff? Some sort of plugin? This is interesting because if this works im keeping the n5x, if not im returning it (because I want the video reproduced well on pc)
Thanks!
No special settings. Just set madVR as default renderer and launch video by double-click. At least it working in my rig with external GPU. Here is also the feature request in mpc hc trac: https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/2202.
How has google/LG not come up with a better fix for this? Two of my apps that use the camera (Stampt and Chase Mobile Banking) show the video upside down. It is extremely annoying. I realize that the app *should* be updated to the latest API, but if you make upside down hardware YOU should be the one to fix it, not force everyone else to conform.

Works! Thanks a lot!!!! Too bad madVR lags some the video reproduction (specially when returning from full screen) , I don't know why I have to move to such thing just for this device. I hope MPC-HC adopts it soon!!

Google. They didn't even use the API how they say on most of their apps. Google is the enemy of nexus lately.
Another option in MPC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) besides MadVR is to rotate the video while playing. Use the following the shortcuts (alt + numpad 3) twice to rotate to 180 degrees as shown in my attached image.
I know it's a pain but this is a workaround for now at least. Along with MadVR.
When I'm watching any HDR10 content in landscape on the YouTube app, the display brightness goes haywire and continually goes all the way up and down by itself. It only acts like this when viewing full screen. It does this on both vanced YouTube and the regular app but not when playing directly through the YouTube website. I turned auto brightness off and it still does this. Does anyone else experience the same problem? I own the L29 btw

Yep. Bugs galore. Hope an update firmware will help. We should get this after the China version has another 14 updates
If i may, which video is that? I don't get the same issue you are having

Thank you! Working great now It didn't have any option besides a codec override toggle. No S8+ or pixel choices but it still solved the problem. Thanks again
