Hi guys, I'm sorry if there is any solution for this problem into the forum, but I didn't find it.
What can I do to solve the problem with watching videos on Youtube. I mean, they are seeing too bad, pixelated with a very low quality and that's annoying
BTW, I'm using 4.2.2 stock rom.
Hope you can help me.

Maybe your internet connection? Is it unstable or slow?
Low screen resolution (only 480x800) means you're limited to 480p or lower, because more than that you can't tell the difference... of course resolution is not everything, there is also codec and video bitrate. A 1080p with low bitrate may look more pixelated than a 480p with a slightly higher bitrate.
I am facing this problem in CM 11(4.4.2) too. You are on stock 4.2.2 then it is possible that bug is in Youtube App.
I am using Tubemate to watch videos from youtube.
Attaching Samples from both Apps. See the diffrence for same video.Same quality (720P).

They're not the same quality. HQ is not the same as HD. HQ in this device is the highest resolution the screen and GPU can render (480p). When you turn off the HQ button then it will scale automatically to your internet speed (144p, 240p, or 360p). 720p is considered HD, just like 1080p.

Thanks for clarification buddy.You are right because I tried to play that video in 480P mode in tubemate and it came up with "not supported".
That means it is pixelating due to downscale/upscaling to 800 X 480 . NOT A BUG.:good:
The YouTube app is displaying videos on 4.2.2 GPU libs in crap quality
Thats why even CM11 and all KitKat ROMs have the same prob

Ok.
Thank u all about the information, now I'm very clear about the problem.
BTW, I'm using Instatube and works fine.
Try see vídeos in Browser its more clear and good the app its really really BAD
Just install the old youtube apk ver 4.5.17 ... it will solve your problem
Just keep in mind ( dont allow play store to update the youtube app to new ver or else u will again see pixelated video).

I love,that g4 can take videos at such high resolution.
I dont want to record in a lower resolution, (i know just use another recorder app for that).
I want to record in high resolution, make a copy of video, and then drop the copy resolution so i can have a high ando low resolution.
Reason is because if i try to play videos i recorded on my g4 on my TV, itsays video resolution not supported. Nd its a smart TV ? also when sharing videos to other phones it has came up as "video unsupprted" or "resolution unsuportted"
Any reccomendation for resolution changer?
I tried screenshots in Album; Video; & MX Player Pro using different codecs & 4K videos and all, but all came out in 1080p.
Not sure if it was supposed to be in 4K though.
So, how can we be sure that 4K content is being correctly?
Thanks.
The screen is 1080p by default, so if you take a screenshot, it will be a 1080p image displayed.
If there are sufficent pixels to push either in image or video format however, the device will push them up to 4K.
For example, if you find an image or video with at least 3840 × 2160 pixels, it will be shown in that resolution. View them via the Album, or Video apps (I'm not sure about third party apps).
If you do a Google image search for 4K wallpapers, you can try...
Thanks @nobnut,
But I have tried a lot of 4K content yet, even photos viewed in the album should be displayed in 4K if I'm not mistaken.
It's just I'm not sure whether the 4K kicked in or not, and would like to be sure somehow; can't rely on eyes alone.
I tested screenshots in Album, Video displaying 4K content, they all end up in 1080p.

Android 5.1 Lollipop DOES NOT support 4K natively. The system can't therefore produce 4K screenshots, and thus 1080p. The reason why it's not 2k res on the screenshots like Galaxy Note 5 is because Sony chose that the system should run on 1080p and not 2K.

Doh!
That's the problem. You are taking a screenshot in 4K mode... the screenshot is not taken in 4K resolution however, it is a 1080 screenshot, so it will obviously show as 1080.
You just have to take it on trust that 4K content is screened in 4K. You convert it back to 1080 when you take a screenshot of it though
@KbaB.BroS Thanks, I was reading about that limitation yesterday. Guess I'll need to wait for Android M! @nobnut I'm specially concerned about custom roms breaking the 4K functionality! Can't really trust 'em!
P.S.
I'm running RomAur btw, it's superb, except for some random reboots.
There's a kernel which restores DRM-tied functions as well, for unlocked bootloaders.
Your eyes may not be able to tell the difference. Basically, in album app, when you open an image, it'll be 1080p and after about 1-3 seconds, it'll crossfade into 4K. It's easier to spot with small text and on eyes.

@CLShortFuse There is no 'crossfade' with Image Enhancements off, at least on my end. Can't be sure if it's because of the switch.

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. With or without X-Reality, you should see a change. Take a look at the sample photos by Yu Takae. The text on the bottom right should look clearer after a few seconds when 4K kicks in. When you swipe to change picture, it renders are 1080p. After a few seconds you should see things clearer.

I don't think the difference is FHD -> 4K transition, because you can clearly see the text even on a standard 1080p screen. I think the phone loads a light preview (the one used in the gallery?) and after that it loads the full image. It can be for being fast when you scroll pics. I made some tests with my old Z3 and default pictures of the Z5p.
And, btw, if you swipe between pictures it always reload like that. But if I'm in gallery it should be 4K always, no need to change the res.
Not as clear as when it switches to 4K. You don't need a second phone to test, just use another image app like Google Photos.
Take a look at this:

The way you know if 4k videos are working is to press play on the 4k video then 'pinch zoom' once and you'll see the quality (you can do this with any videos anyways)
Also the 4k logo in album in the bottom corner means the video is 4k. And the battery will drain more playing a 4k video then a normal 360p 540p 720p and 1080p video (because 4k bit rate is higher - hence more processing)

But even in Lollipop is possible to watch videos in 4K?
I've noticed that any 60fps 1080p video or 4K video that I take on my Pixel XL and upload to Google Photos always shows up as plain old 1080p. Has anyone else noticed this?
I've noticed that if I download the same video in Google Drive to my machine, 60fps or 4K remains intact- but not when playing back in the browser (either in Drive or Photos).

When playing back in photos, do you adjust the quality in the bottom right? (Similar to YouTube)
Update: I see now. Even though it's got the quality options in the lower right, the options are limited to Auto are various resolutions from 1080P on down. No 4k or 60fps. Weird.

Yep very weird. I haven't seen anyone else talk about this issue either.
I am guessing that like YouTube that because the screen of the Pixel XL is 2k it doesn't give the option for 4k play back on the phone itself
That's a shame.... It should at least do the 60fps
hello guys I don't know what I've done but I only have 720p now when I go on you tube it only shows 720 p it used to show 1080 and 1080 hdr is there any other settings to get it back I don't know what I've done I have it set to fhd+ , I must of touched something I don't want to restore lol I deleted a few Chinese apps that's all I've done . heres pics of settings
so I changed screen resolution to hd+720p and took a screenshot it shows 720p
I then changed it to fhd+1080p took another screenshot and it shows 1080 as in pics , so my device screen is set properly to 1080p but somehow YouTube only posts in 720? I've uninstalled YouTube and it's still the same any ideas anyone ,,I loved to show off my screen on YouTube hd videos? it used to work
it must be YouTube has they been any updates I checked with a resolution checker and it's 1080p FHD+ when set and 720p when set to hd+
is there any other video settings I can check I didn't think I was a noob I usually sort stuff out
so back again lol when I watch my own videos on YouTube they are 1080p when I watch other people's videos it only goes to Max 720? very strange... I've always used same 4k content to show off my screen at 1080 so it's not the vids
Not sure what's the issue but mine can view in 1080p. Maybe it's really the video?
