[Q] Video content Apps LAG when playing HQ videos in HULU/NETFLIX - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Looking to see if anyone else has the problem with the video stutters but audio is fine in apps like HULU or Netflix. For my note 3 it feels like the apps are not updated to support this awsome device yet. Does anyone notice this or have the same problem? Or is it just my Note?

Hulu lags for me too and I'm on strong wifi. No idea what's wrong

I msged hulu trying to get this fixed and they won't help me it looks like without proving my IMEI number which is just plain dumb.

Has anyone found a solution for this or is it just certain devices? It is very bothersome not being able to use apps.

I get stutters on any 1080p YouTube video and any video inside of chrome or stock browser.

Really? Man this just doesn't make sense. This thing is a powerhouse and it can't play videos. ...Samsung FAIL

Playing .mkv over network

Anyone successfully played a 720/1080p file over their network?
Ive tried all the players but just seems to stutter like crazy!
Used to use diceplayer on my HOX with the dts plugin and had no probs.
Anyone got a player/settings thats working?

When you say playing over the network you mean accessing the share via dice or play stream via upnp?
I assume you mean the first. I too use dice with plugin and noticed indeed reltively frequent stuttering when acessing share from dice but using buble upnp all is fine against an xbmc server without any transcoding and dice so that is what I use and it is fine for me.
Also compared to gtab 7.7 less powerful HW I noticed wifi on note2 to be more sensible; I mean if I watch mkv covering fully the device with my palm I get problem. Of course cant really do that with the 7.7
So other than that all is quite fine on my side. I really do suspect though accessing cifs gives bad throughput somehow. I use omega 3 and cifs.ko copying stuff from a share is abnormally skow for me.

Use es file explorer and play through stock player.

Actually tried playing though the bsplayer app itself and its much improved although its struggling with 1080p
Will give your tips a try, thanks

how do you stream in HD?

it seems like I can't stream anything in HD. is there a setting for this? Both YouTube and Netflix apps streams in 360 or 480p even when HD button is on. it's kind of annoying when I know I can get better picture than that. What's the purpose of having a nice screen when you can only stream in this resolution? is there a way to force these to stream in 720p? or at least an apk that will work on Galaxy Note II. i've found some but it doesn't work on my NII. thanks.

For youtube you can go to settings but I think its HQ and for you to see videos you have to make sure whatever video you choose to watch is a HD video that way when it starts you can select the HD option button remember on youtube you have to hope that the uploader had recorded their videos in HD also. Now for netflix it shows on its own since I have lte I really never tried to see if their was an option for HD in the settings.

both of them shows pixelation even both the Netflix shows I watch and YouTube channels in am subscribed to is both available in HD. I cannot express how much I hate this.
I see you use Sprint version. have you tried comparing it side by side a laptop or desktop if they are the same? I tried comparing them and note II was inferior of the three, but when I run a video I have on my sd card it looks crisp.

The Netflix app I'm not sure about, but a quick search might find it for you
noted for future reference on my Note 2

this! I tried this earlier with TIBU but I can't install it. Apparently it stayed at my app drawer so it blocked me from installing it. I tried it again and worked like magic. it's finally streaming true HD! now we just need netflix. I tried some already but all of them won't work. It force closes on me. tyvm

mine didn't. It seems like it's not just me. There's a huge difference between the modded apk linked above than the one on play store. no pixelation and discoloration on the new apk. crisp and clear just like how it looks like on a laptop. but now it eats a lot more data which is fine since I have unlimited 4g nationwide. I guess I see why the official one doesn't offer true HD. ^^.
I hope somebody do something like that for netflix. I've searched but no one has a working apk on Samsung devices. :/

Download Tube mate (Google It) you can stream or download 1080P,720P,480P,360P HD videos on 3G/4G/LTE or WiFi. Works great for me. Also there's a modded Netflix APK that supports 720P. Google it as well. I don't like posting links because they may be considered as spam.

bad Video Quality????

I've notice Netflix, Hulu and HBO go all seem to play blurry on the GS4.
My iPhone and iPad play those videos perfect.
Anyway to fix it or just have to wait till the update those apps.
I'm assuming most apps will need to be updated to better support 1080p screens.

It looks nice, but no where near the video quality of my iphone 5.
Hope they update those apps soon. Youtube on the other hand looks great.

Netflix in HD with root?

Anyone here rooted and or with a custom ROM able to get Netflix to play at 1080p? Mine won't. Don't know of its because of root, deodex, not stock, slow internet, etc. Anyone able to chime in?

The most I've gotten is 720p, but I've read in the CleanRom thread that Hulu will play 1080p. The problem is either Netflix or your internet speed.

How can you tell if its playing in 720 or 1080 p? I just played the expendables 2 and it looks very good but I don't see where it said what quality.
So here is what I can tell you, you have video quality settings in your account on Netflix. Set that to best, then you have to have a high speed internet, even at that apparently to get HD your ISP has to have signed with Netflix for Netflix to stream it.
I noticed that my Google play movies will not play in HD on anything but the stock ROM. I can be rooted and get HD but not on a custom rom. Cleanrom won't even work. This is weird to me.

Netflix will range from low quality to HD to 1080p(if supported). 1080p on a 7" tab is overkill and much more bandwidth intensive. It would be skipping all over unless you have an almost flawless connection.

Netflix has been updated to work flawlessly on JB 4.3 !
Just update it
Does anyone know what shows/movie support 1080p right now?

[Q] Video Playback

Just wondering if anyone else experiences pauses/jitters while watching videos from the Samsung hub on their Video player? I watched two movies now (42 and Despicable Me 2) and both would slightly pause or jitter while watching the movie. Happened maybe a dozen or so times throughout the movie. Is this just the video player sucking or is this pretty common with tablets? Thanks
Use moboplayer

I used to use moboplayer but i find MX Player the best.

This happens to me everytime I watch a movie. I would think , with the good specs of this tablet, that I could watch an entire movie without those hiccups..... I'm looking forward to root, debloat, and try some custom roms, but i am in no hurry to do it quite yet.
