Hi guys, by the time i bought s4 mini, the quality on youtube videos is bad. The phone might not be HD but certainly can play youtube videos with better quality. I read that also others have the same problem but the only solution i found was to download a modified version of youtube app but it needs to be root user. Have anyone from this forum faced this problem?? Is there any solution?
Have you tried the app "Viral Floating Youtube Popup"?
Change the default video resolution to 720p or 1080p and your good to go.
oh man really thanx, you saved me. it works perfect

Guys, I posted a workaround in another thread... > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6902833&postcount=9
hey buddy, does it play MKV downloaded straight from the net?
Like a 720p vid without needing to encode?

yes it does.. but no SUBS..
I've tried Naruto Shippuuden and Bleach both 720p by [Horrible Subs], Audio and Video works, but no Subs...
yeah I wanna know if there was an android video player out there, which can display embedded sub while watching hd content.
Check out this h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6902833&postcount=9 Right now it's the easiest solution.
Isn't that the OP's 'solution' ? haha
yes
he figured it out after
LOL
It still looks like there isn't a standalone player out there.
Using a few players it would either do one of the following:
1. Play the video in really good sharp resolution without dropping any frames, but here's no sound, and no subtitles. Ack!
2. Play the video in really awful quality with artifacts the size of Mount Tiwaluho but you got sound and subtitles, yet it's stuttering.
Can't win eh? Still, it seems that it is possible. The hardware is there. I think it's only a matter of time. Until then, we're better of using this workaround:

Try this

works fine for me
works with embedded srt and ass subs
I use mVideoPlayer, plays 720p mkvs with softsubs perfectly for me
Ah, i see The.Opethian and Volcacius beat me to it. And now I find out they just linked to one of the OPs other posts...
Hello, I am having issues playing all sort of video files on a t-mobile defy with stock 2.2.1 , very low resolution videos play fine, but when the video has a higer resolution than 480X320 i get a ton of lag, video and sound are of sync and pixelation. I tried killing all apps and it somehow help. I tried vplayer (the best so far-but paid), movoplayer, vital player, summer player and nothing seems to work as it should. Does anyone had this same issue and found a solution? Does rooting the phone will help? Any assistance will be appreciated

Hello, I had the same problem, I have a Defy Rooted with Pays ROM, I think is not neccesary to root your phone to get quality videos playing fine.
I solved the playing issues with rockplayer, you can found the Rock Player Lite version and test it, is working great for me, including 720p videos !
Hope can help you
Sorry for my bad English
Try mobo player...............not much lag
Why are the videos on my Galaxy Nexus pixelated when watching HD videos on YouTube? I watch 720p videos and HQ is selected in the YouTube player and they are not crisp, they look bad.
How can I fix this?
Nobody has this issue??
depends on the video ur viewing....for example if u look at a 720-1080p music video it looks pretty good =)
but uhm.....theres no solution that i kno of using the youtube app, best way is always to dl high def and dump into ur phone
Havent noticed this issue. In fact its the opposite, watching 720p cideos look so excellent on this phone i cant stop using youtube.
If you watch a 240/320/480p video OP it is going to look like **** on any device, ESPECIALLY the higher resolution screen you play it on. Play Standard Definition video on an HDTV...and then play that same video on an SDTV and it will look better on the SDTV. When you play something of lower resolution on a high resolution display its going to look like a stretched out mess.
Play a 720p video on the Galaxy Nexus and you will be impressed.
This for example has a good resolution and should look great on the GNex. Try it...

Ok guys this is crazy.
I played the video on my channel on youtube with wifi on and the video looks bad and grainy with HQ selected in the youtube player (my video is a 720p HD video). I looked right now again a few hours later at the same video on wifi and now it looks sharp and nice. I didn't change anything....I don't know what happened but hopefully it stays this way.

Does anyone have this problem I posted on the google forums here: https://productforums.google.com/fo.../report-a-technical-issue/android/Uj4K1IN_jno ?
Or is it only me?
Did someone manage to find a fix?
Yes
Yes, since I updated to KitKat 4.4.2 my videos are like this, but only happens in low resolutions.
If you go to settings and change the video resolution to 480p, sometimes 360p, it should be fine.
same problem
Is anyone solve this problem?
For me only appears when playing in non max resolution.
Although it's checked "always choose best quality" in youtube settings,
player sometimes start streaming in 480p for hd videos,
and this problem occurs.
ls there a way to force youtube to play only the highest quality?

Use the modded youtube version you can find here on XDA. Search. There you can force 720p if you like. I use it on my S4 Mini, and it's a great to take full advantage of the qHD resolution screen.
