Hi guys, after updating Youtube to version 5.3.32, every single video played in youtube is pixelated, as if there is no video acceleration or post processing - please check the attached image
I have the Note 10.1 2014 P601, the Exynos version with 3G.
I tried to uninstall the youtube update and rollback to the factory installed youtube, and it works ok!
Anyone has this issue? and any ideas to fix it?
I have 5.3.32 and its fine however it does sometimes have a hissy fit, sometimes HD videos seem lower quality even though wifi bandwith is excellent.
And I also had an issue where it didnt even want to load videos but havent encountered that problem for weeks now. Tbh I just dont think the Youtube app has been properly intigrated with our tablet.

Anyone else noticing this? I caught a few threads in the Xperia forums stating the same thing. I had no problems viewing HD content on my Legend, yet the screen resolution was smaller. Perhaps it's something to do with the new 720x1280 displays?
Confirm. It looks choppy for a sec, then it skips frames and jumps ahead to compensate, then it starts choppy again, repeat. Regardless full screen or not - looks like not because of 1280x720
Stream is fast and buffer is full, not network issue.
Not seeing it... have a link of a video that doesn't work for you all?
I don't have a link, but lookup FPSRussia and watch his SA-80 video. That should give you an idea.
Edit: Gave it a go in Dolphin HD and the video plays without any form of stutter. Must be a crappy version of YouTube for these phones.
Happening for me sometimes. I can use the desktop version of YouTube and everything runs fine. Even if I watch a movie I recorded at 1080p and play it back in the video player, it's sometimes choppy.

I can't get YouTube to play HD, it seems to only play 480p.
not trying to revive a dead topic , but i have the same issue on Bell lg optimus LTE , i have tried deleting youtube and resinstall from the market. everything works fine 1080p etc on mx video player . maybe the youtube player has not been optimized for P930 ? if anyone has a solution to this, please reply !
Most likely it's just Youtube being broken or not optimized for the HD screen on this phone. I also have the same issue, and I even tried Screen Optimization. I feel that works a bit, but very little bit hehe.
I went ahead and uninstalled the update from the Android Market in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Downloaded > Youtube. It went back to version 2.1.6 from 2.3.4 so I restarted the phone and gave it a go. It seems to perform a hell of a lot better, still not perfect but at least it doesn't drive me crazy.
Give it a go and see for yourself, you could always update it again on the market.

I'll stick with Dolphin HD for viewing the YouTube content, seeing that i use Dolphin for viewing websites other than YouTube.
I know this device can play 1080p videos as I have tested this across my internal network. But it seems this device does not play videos (in 1080p) using the youtube app.
For example, if I play big buck bunny on my tablet it looks to only play it in 720p. I confirmed this by trying to load it up in the 3rd party app tubemate and it only shows options for 720p. Obviously this is not the best quality available because if you go to the video from your computer there is a 1080p option.
At any rate, has anyone else noticed this and is there a workaround or is youtube somehow blocking my device from the 1080p stream?
Thanks in advance.
I think you need a modified YouTube app that can be found somewhere else on xda, not sure if it will work on tablets though. You can also try Viral floating YouTube app

I have been using JetVD for ages, and it supports 1080p. Usually download clips through that app though, not watch.
Thanks for the replies guys but I think I found my answer. Apparently google/youtube is doing something on their side to make it difficult to get 1080p streams from mobile devices. I checked the thread below from one of the developers and he stated google has changed something to where you can't access the 1080p streams. At least not at the moment

@Ettepetje I tried the jetvd app you mentioned using the latest version on their website and it too suffers from the same problem. Only 720p videos are available for download or watching.
@ChrisNee1988 Thanks for mentioning Viral. The link I posted above is from the developer's thread. That is where I found out 1080p streams are somehow being blocked by google.
I guess the next question is why would google do this? I have a device capable of resolutions beyond 1080p but yet I'm limited to a 720p stream.

Have you tried more than one clip? Not all is available, but many you can find in 1080p, at least on my phone I can.

Yep, I tried 5 different versions of big buck bunny as well multiple 1080p nature videos which I know for certain have 1080p counterparts and still the same result. I tried this on my galaxy note II and note 10.1 2014 and both have the same problem. The weird part is that applications like tubemate will even give me the option of downloading the 720p 3D version but not the 1080p version. Very odd indeed. if you know of any other apps to try let me know.

I tried just now, and I managed to find one, but it took me longer than I'm used to. Maybe they did change something.
Can you watch 1080P Youtube video's from the stock browser in desktop mode?

sorry, I should've mentioned that earlier. I can get 1080p videos to play if I open the stock android browser and request the desktop site. After that, if I select the gear icon at the bottom to choose the resolution it gives the 1080p option.
Unfortunately, that solution is a little tedious. Not to mention it makes navigation a little more difficult when you're trying to watch a lot of videos.
Hello all,
I've noticed that using the Chrome browser on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, when I try to play an embedded YouTube video, it will play just fine, both audio and video. However, when I click the button to maximize it and go full screen, the playback stutters and does not display an image/video playback; it just goes black (occasionally, even plays the audio, but no accompanying video). When I click the back button, wanting to give it another try, the embedded video says "video playback is not available at this time" or something like that. I refresh the page, and play the game again/try again...same results.
I tested if it was screen orientation. Interestingly enough, the videos that would not play in landscape (which is the "default" orientation) would play in portrait, but would have some crazy, intermittent vertical lines reminiscent of a scrambled/jumbled picture. It's awful.
I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this issue and may have any helpful advice?
Thanks in advance,
senate

Having the same problem, anyone else experiencing this and knows how to make the problem go away? On youtube there is also a vid showing the problem, can't post it but you can find it under this title: Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 sm-t520 video problem
I keep getting that kind of issue when I have Xposed installed. Try uninstalling xposed to see if that clears up the issue.

Dont have xposed installed, don't know what kind of program that is? The problem doesn't occur all the time. Btw the pro 10.1 has more bugs and random crashes, wish sammy would release a firmware update...
Samsung galaxy Tab pro 8", 10.1" or 12.2" video flickering problem [SOLVED]
To fix flickering in video:
Enable developer options in settings (go to about device and tap Build Number 7+ times).
In developer options, under hardware-accelerated rendering, check "turn off hardware overlays". You can also check "force GPU rendering", but I've found the former is all that's necessary.
I've had this phone now for a couple of days after upgrading from a Note 2. Love it so far, apart from one issue I cannot figure out. How do I get Youtube videos on this phone to play back in 60fps (in videos that are supported).
I have all software up to date, youtube app is the latest according to Googleplay but it just won't do it. It will play in 1080, but it seems it just wont play at 60fps. I just checked my Note 2, this does it fine.
Am I missing anything really obvious?
Hi all,
I'm having some strange green screen issues with Galaxy Tab S 10.5, but I can't find any helpful answers.
When running stock Lollipop ROM, Youtube and MXPlayer videos display perfectly, but Twitch and Netflix have issues. For all video players, audio works perfectly.
Netflix shows a green screen for all movies/TV shows, and Twitch shows green screens for all quality levels except for Source.
I flashed CM12.1, 6.0.1, and CM13 for T800, but these problems persist.
Any and all advice is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: I've tried Twitch alternatives: Vortex, Lakitu, and Ace for Twitch. Vortex gives me "This video cannot be played" for all qualities while Lakitu/Ace give me the same green screen issues. One solution I've found is to use the Twitch add-on from Kodi, but this doesn't let me see chat. Ideally, I'd like to get a standalone Twitch app working, but if all else fails, Kodi works.
You haven't said if this occurs with stock firmware?
Oops, sorry, I thought I mentioned this in OP. Twitch doesn't work in stock 5.02 either. Actually, that was what prompted me to try CM12/13 and 6.0.1.
