Folks, what is your impression, how well Netflix app is working on the S 10.5 ?

Runs great for me. Movies look awesome deep black even with brightness turned all the way up.

As I said in a previous thread . Youtube and Netflix have been optimized for this device. So the picture is going to be amazing. It's other streaming and video services that may suffer. Such as my Xfinity Go App and Crackle and other streaming services. . Anything dark or black gets extreme Pixelation and ghosting. It's horrible
Did you download the app from the app store or from the Netflix web site?

I noticed today that when I watched an HD clip on youtube using wifi that is is 720p but not when on a mobile network. Yes it's full screen and says HQ but it's not 720p.
How do I fix this or is this a limitation put on by Samsung?
I'm having difficult time believing that the stream is 720p even on wifi, how did you verify it?

Just watch a clip (1080p HD trailer or something) on wifi that is insanely sharp and you'll know it's 720p. There should be no pixelation at all.
Watch the same video on the mobile network and you'll notice the difference.
You have to activate it in Settings, its off by default to save people!

Even if you activate High Quality for mobile in the settings, it's still not as sharp as wifi.
It's true, it looks upscaled. High quality on mobile data is lower quality then on wifi.

It's normal, the speed is not the same..

ZOMG I didn't even know it was possibible to do 720p from the YT app! This phone is just getting cooler and COOLER!!
... back to thread.
There is a HD icon on the bottom left of the screen when the video is playing. Just hit that....but watch out if you're on AT&T!
Ok I don't think people are understanding so let me clarify:
- When on wifi, HQ youtube videos are sharp like they should be
- When on mobile internet, the SAME video with HQ on Mobile turned on is not as sharp
- Even while on mobile and having HQ turned on in the settings menu and the HQ button is lit up on the bottom left; pressing it makes the video go to a non-full screen blob
Why doesn't it load the real video if on mobile internet? I can wait a little bit longer for it load if it means sharp videos how they're meant to be viewed on my screen.
Wasn't there someone talking about how the Netflix on the new razr has actual non-wifi HD youtube? I noticed this problem the day I got the phone as well.
.
Yeah, I hope they fix this.
Do you have the latest version of YouTube? As was said before it should say HD not HQ. I just watched a video on mobile and it was definitely HD! Go to the market and see if there is an update for your YouTube app.

Mine only says HD when on WiFi. When I'm on mobile it says HQ.

Not only that, but because this is a buttonless device, watching videos just looks stunning. Specifically with the youtube app over wifi, 720p only. It just blows me away how good it looks.
I know its not quite as convenient but 720p flash video plays flawlessly in the browser. I even sent it to my 19" with a mhl/dvi cable and it blew me away. For a mobile to be able to play that kind of quality video that smoothly is really impressive imo.

The youtube app will open and I can play a video, but it will not stream. I get 30 mbs down and 5 up. Netflix and TWC TV app stream fine in hd but not youtube. And also my downloads from the market r awfully slow but if i download the same app from amazon app store the app downloads in seconds. Not sure if that is related to youtube issue but those 2 r the slowest data wise on wifi.

Link for example of this issue?
Noticed that the YouTube app only plays in HD mode if you are on either WIFI or LTE. (Note 2) Anyway to make that app think that I'm on LTE on the S3?
You could always just go to general settings in the YouTube app and click high quality on mobile

Yup. But it ain't HD. It's a bit painful to watch when your used to HD. I know T-Mobile non LTE speeds are fast enough.
Since Youtube auto-adjusts to the available speed, I doubt there's any way to switch to HD. You can use the Browser based Youtube or tweak your Data Speeds based on Doc Holiday's Tweaks in the S3 Modem Thread.
You can try using this app, you can stream HD videos even if you are on edge. and it has other functions too

I use adfree for Android and I don't get ads on the YouTube app. And there should be a setting inside the app to play only sd.

I´m quite mad at Google because of still not having activated the option of using a 1080p resolution in Youtube. I mean, come on, I bought both recent flagship devices which can handle 1080p video playback without any problems ( Nexus 5 & Nexus 7 2013 ).
I wanted to buy the latest Viral Pro App but for whatever reasons, the developer also decided to stick to max. 720p. What is wrong with this world ? Is there a better app available in order to watch Full HD material on these devices ?

I could understand it not being there if your screen isn't 1920x1080. But if you have a FHD screen than it should show up. Assuming the video allows it.

It doesn't show up on all of them.
(And yes I have the latest version of YouTube.)

This will block youtube ads and other ads (app, website) but will not provide any additional youtube options.
OK no matter how I go to watch a 2 or 4k video trailer it lags very bad. I am on charters 60mbs service. Getting 59.9mbs with a speed test on my tablet. I tried loading it through my player, the stock video player, chrome, and the stock browser. It all lags and shutters badly making it impossible to watch.
Why would this play? YouTube app will not play higher than 720 and if I load it in the browser it also won't give me the option to watch it in full hd or higher

First of all, the Tab Pro/S screens aren't even 4k resolution so you wouldn't gain anything from watching it at that high of a resolution. Secondly, I'll leave it to the next person!
I know that this is only a 2k screen but it should be able to play a 2k or a 4k video right? 1080 plays fine with no lag or anything.

only the 4k video lagged for me. The 1080p ones played fine. Must be the exynos chip in your 325
Mine has the snapdragon 800. The 1080s play fine but the 4ks don't. There are some 2k videos on that site and they lag too.

Wanted to chime in here... I have the U.S. Galaxy tab pro 8.4, I did not update to the newest version of software it keeps telling me that is ready to install. Its the black model...
I have on my networked server the timescapes 4k 2560p video clip. I copied it over to the 16gb built in sdcard storage on the tab and played the file using the stock video player.
It plays fine and is 99% smooth, here and there it may hitch once or twice. What I did notice is there may be a ghosting problem on this tab because the stars from the video clip smear when they move and are sharp when they don't in the background.
So 4k videos do play smooth its just there is ghosting.. This file was a .mp4
Maybe streaming them is the problem compared to playing them from storage with the video player built in

1440p and above lag for me using the chrome browser on YouTube (desktop version). Will try a downloaded clip to see if I get the same results.
