BS player for the fullscreen one
I cannot seem to go higher than 6 videos, could be the stickit player or maybe it's because of Sense, will be curious to know how this performs on AOSP build.

As long as we're still on stock firmware our warranty will save us. And no, the worst thing we can get doing this kind of burn-in test is only reboot.

Would be nice if the phone supported more than one display via special MHL cable, 2-4 displays, like desktop cards. Games would have to be updated to support that as well... play movie on one display for someone to watch it while you use the phone to do some work (for example PC remote desktop on another display) or play at the same time.

Netflix = no hd?

Is there a reason why Netflix will not snap to HD on the GS3? Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, wifi, lte....nothing. Looks like old realplayer video...

no one else has this issue?

1. you must sign into NetFlix & select the "High" quality video settings in your account settings page.
2. NetFlix app looks at the mode that the device is running in, both workspace resolution & app resolution. I set mine to 720px at workspace & 720px for the app resolution at 213DPI using the Paranoid Android rom's Paranoid Settings selections in settings & I get HD video for HD content.
3. NetFlix as well as Amazon servers perform a speed test to determine the best video type to stream. If you are below 15mbps it sometimes will kick over to SD. I usually am at about 40Mbps both via LTE & my home WiFi & I get HD streams there, but at the office it drops down to SD.
Amazon VOD will also work using the stock CM browser. It will also stream HD content if it is setup correctly.

Yeah. I had already set high quality for Netflix. WiFi at home is 20/5 and lte at work is 64/16. Anyone else completely stock with this?

"Snap to HD" = what does that mean? Play in HD?
How do you tell if it's playing in HD? Mine shows up in what looks like HD....my home 15/1.

When you start Netflix it usually starts in sd and progresses or "snaps" to hd on all of my other devices I have owned. This one just seems to have a lower resolution and lots of video artifacts while playing. Comparing Netflix between my gs3, ps3, xb360, and Wii I would say that it is equal to or just below the Wii which does not do hd at all

And nexus 7 is much clearer

Oh, like it transitions from SD to HD? Mine, totally stock (UCALH9) from AT&T, seems to start out very blocky, transitions in a few seconds to "SD," and then finally ends on HD about 30-40 seconds in.
Check the attached screenies...it's working here. Do you have any data compression apps installed?

If I do they came on the phone and I am unaware if them

Unsure, then. I mean, it could be a butt-load of things unique to your phone: apps you have, any power saving functions on, etc. Or even some messed up QoS on your router. I had a laggy GS3 and slowly kept uninstalling apps until I found it: mine was a bad widget that needed to be reloaded.
The foolproof would be a reset. Or, if you have another GS3, to compare it. The N7 might well have better WiFi/LTE antennas or something.

This is exactly opposite of my problem with Netflix.. I can't seem to get it OFF of HD and so I simply cannot use it or it just goes through too much data for my monthly plan. Looks gorgeous though!

Tubemate 1080p + redesign concept

Hi. When I received HTC One I've noticed that tubemate lacks support for 1080p devices + buttons there are rather ugly, so I thought that it'd be cool to have some fresh redesign which I made...If creator of tubemate would have replied, I think we could get it to work

There is no download YET. There will be probably SOON, if creator of tubemates will give me an answer. (I've already sent him messages on facebook, mail, google+ but no answer yet)

Wasnt aware the Api was sorted now. There wer major issues recently, Youtube not giving all access and all that.
Good to see it up and running again. :good:
Looks good. Will give it a try when you get the green light for a release.

I own an unlocked HTC One like I assume the author does too. I think that the problem he is trying to solve is, that Tubemate doesn't support 1080p playing/streaming on the HTC One. Downloading works, even though Tubemate has to convert the Video after it is downloaded, for some reason, and it only works with the Armv7 Codec and you have to tick a box in the settings to enable HD download. For this tubemate then uses the free app "Mp3 Video downloader", which is clearly also used to now actually convert Videos into MP3 instead of just renaming the download MP4 video file into a Mp3 file, like it was done in previous versions. This is not a problem of the player used (android player or tubemate player) but more a problem of the app itself not recognizing that the HTC One has a 1080p display. See, if you select "1080x1820 high end devices only" it gives the message "Not Supported". This makes sense, since on this page: http://slideme.org/application/tubemate-2 there is a list of resolutions available and there it says
"
[Available resolutions]
1920x1080(Full-HD): GalaxyTab, Galaxy S2, PC
1280x720(HD): high-end devices
"
So clearly the tubemate developers enabled 1080p playback on Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy S2, but not for the HTC One. Weirdly on my previous phone, a HTC One S, I could always select 1080p playing and it would always work, even though the HTC One S has only a 720p display, so that's kinda strange..
Also, I don't really think that a redesign is necessary, i am kinda happy with the current design.
Also, the app the guy right before me linked also only supports 1080p download but not playing so it offers the same as Tubemate.
And there is also another Youtbe HD playback app but that doesn't get updated anymore, so It actually works with an old and less functional version of the android YouTube player than the current one link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715.
I am really interested in this idea of adding this feature, and possibly add even more devices with 1080p screens, since there are way more auch devices available and I am assuming most of them can't play 1080p videos, since the native YouTube player (at least in my HTC One) only supports resolutions up to 720p and I would really like the developers of Tubemate to find this and work on this issue.
Btw, I don't know if it matters but my devices (HTC One and HTC One S) were both rooted and on the newest available stock Rom which is on my HTC One S currently android 4.3.

VLC is a nice and free replacement while wait for a fix.
BTW: is a bit stupid to limit an application for future Android versions just basing the limitation it in its build number. If you don't limit it and your app works, nobody will notice, if not, you will receive the automatic reports with the info needed to fix it.

Hmmm If i were a dev i would prefer people reporting compatibility issue after I am done with the testing on that platform rather than getting hell a lot of bad rating in Play store (by people who dont understand software /application development basics)

Except MX Player is getting a lot of bad rating in the Playstore right now for not working on KitKat 4.4.1(check the reviews posted on dec.6/7/8 ).

Same problem. BTW in the meantime Google releases 4.4.2 ota (running nexus 5) so I think I'll have to wait more -_-
I think this is a stupid check or maybe I would put an option to force app working/bypass version check giving user an advice regarding possible strange behaviours (like vplayer ones..)

Anyone tried to add DNS record to hosts file to load Amazon Prime Instant Video?
Hi, I use the method provide by unlocator(d0t)com (set DNS server to their one).
Then use WireShark to capture DNS resolve packet, and found that some stream servers of Amazon is point to IP that is not the same as IP when resolved by Google DNS server. Hosts file (replace (d0t)):
---------------------------------------------------------
dl(d0t)dropboxusercontent(d0t)com/u/82869805/hosts
-------------------------------------------------------------
After add these to my /etc/hosts, I set DNS server to Google and reboot my computer. It works.
May be you got problem with flash player and have to reinstall Adobe Flash Player or Silver Light to play video -> this guide (replace (d0t)): www(d0t)howtogeek(d0t)com/204319/how-to-watch-amazon-instant-video-on-linux/
And you need to re-update your IP on Unlocator(d0t)com (you need to register a free account on Unlocator(d0t)com, and login to update your IP to Unlocator(d0t)com) anytime your IP provided by ISP changed, this is MUST.
I'm not sure if it works for others.
