I'm a happy owner of the new Z5 premium, but stupidly lost the preloaded photos & videos. Could anyone send them in a archive file or so?
I played a little with the phone, saw quickly the beautiful preloaded photos, but then, before to start the serious things and transfer data from my previous & brave xperia z, did a factory reset.
I was a little sad that the images and videos (not mine, the samples from Sony) disappeared too with this operation.
So, this is not a real problem, but I'd be glad to check again the beauty of the (presumably 4K) photos along with the quality of the screen.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Thanks a lot for your help and time.
For your information, no specific settings are needed, neither plug-in, login or so.
Just had a warning with Safari on Mac, but with Chrome, everything was OK.

No, I don't. You may ask in Z5 forum directly. I'm sure people there are willing to share.
Thank you for sharing, my version is without.
Just looked at one of the videos the scenery one, how come its only at 1920x1080 ? When I look at details of the file that's the resolution.
Only wanted to look on my 4k tv to see how they looked for when I get my phone, but that can't be right.

That's a joke from Sony bundled with Z5 Premium. Another joke is that playingback 4K 60FPS is very laggy.

Try Vlc player.
It's kinda stupid how they only have a 1080p preview video on a 4k screen. You see every reviewer on YouTube who will probably think it's a 4k preview...
Maybe it's to show off their upscale tricks though..

Just done an initial test of video playback on the Desire. Used an MP4 which was encoded at 640x480 fro my iPhone, and I know the file is good. This plays back jerkily, and is not wide enough on screen.
I have tried yxflash and playback is poor.
Can the Desire play back this format smoothly, and can it adjust the aspect ratio in the player?
What are the recommended file types/sizes/encoding for the Desire?
well i think the reason it's not wide streched is because the width of the video is 480px and the width of desire too so it cannot expand to the whole wide height since the video's height is 640 and desire's is 800!! my opinionas i see it
800x480. Perhaps use the HD Encoder tool found on the Blackstone forumns here. Encodes videos perfectly for this resoultion.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
Tell us how it goes. Remember to use this from the source video, and not your already converted videos which are lower res and not widescreen
Thanks. I'll give that a go.
have you tried this yet? Any luck?
There is also DoubleTwist, which acts as an iTunes replacement. I tried this, but it is extremely slow at encoding video, although it does work, and the quality is OK.

Fantastic program. Have converted avi's and even 720p mkv files.
Results are excellent on the Desire's screen.
Highly recommended

It's a bit of a shame that video playback is pretty poor, Hero was the same. Don't know why HTC choose to do this everytime, make a fantastic device and spoil it by sticking in a inferior software.

I would use defaults. By default it's set to the correct resolution. Depends if you are converting a SD or HD, then choose from the two checkboxes to the left of the resolution. That's it. Just add the files you want to convert, choose a destination folder and go for it.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi All,
Just to update, I have converted a HD video at 750 kb/s and it plays perfectly on the Desire! The colours are vibrant, and warm, and motion is super fluid! I recommend people give it a go, it's great!

Best media is animated media such as Pixar movies etc. I have an mkv 720p of Gnomeo and Juliet and it's jaw dropping - really makes the 'true' back of the display realize its potential.

Ah yes, the clip I have was from somewhere else on xda and must have been converted first. I noticed that everything from that site seems to be in m2ts format, which needs converting first. But if you've got the right program to do it, then it seems to be the best collection of clips.

Just use a TV HD MKV download. I used Battlestar Galacticas final episode and a Stargate Universe to show off the SGS2. It certainly impressed.
Its Ironic that samsungs LED TV demos actually look better on my Plasma than they do on a Samsung LED TV!
Those demos are 'ok' on the phone, but real video footage impresses more i think.

HD 1080p video Sony blu-ray lasers
loads of good stuff on 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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413078&page=23
@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.

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.

You can't. It's a Youtube / Android thing. It will most probably be solved when Marshmellow comes out.
Android does not support 4K resolution for the display... so Sony only implemented 4K in specific apps ( mainly Gallery & Video )...
all other apps will see the phone as 1080p only, including YouTube, so it will only show you 1080p option... there's two options
1- Google : update the Yt App to support this feature which might not be logical for them because... No. 2
2- Android 6 ( Marshmallow ) is supposed to support 4K, so Sony might be able to enable it on all other apps, or just create a white list of apps that could benefit from 4K display and enable 4K for them only to save power...
I saw something that you can install dolphin browser and then install flashplayer manually ( dont know either if it works on the last android os) and selecting desktop opt.
But thanks also for your comments guys this is some good information to know
There is a custom youtube app which has an option "Enable All qualities" this may allow you to view youtube content at the highest quality supported by android if it isnt avaliable
"OGYoutube"
An alternate solution would be using google chrome to open youtube.com (desktop) and watching a 4K video
(youtube can allow html5 playback which chrome and many other browsers can use)
I know there are several threads and old blog posts from previous years about the same topic but most of the apps are completely outdated and/or no longer working. I used to use Vidmate to download youtube videos but after I switched to Note 10+ for some reason is not working, I just no longer see the download button. I tried uninstalling and installing again, installing older versions, etc. and it's not working. So wanted to see if there is anything better in 2019 but all I can find is very old threads with the same tubemate, instube, snaptube, keepvid, videoder, vidmate, etc. that they all barely work.
What app do you use now to download YouTube videos? Another good alternative is adding ss on the youtube link between the dot and the "y" from youtube, the downloads are fast but very annoying copying each link, typing the ss, moving the cursor, etc.
Is there anything more functional now in 2019? Ideally I would love an app that would let you login and download playlist of several videos like 20 videos at a time. Any suggestions?
In all honesty, Tubemate still works fine... I'm using version 3.2.8...
Never had an issue with it...
A BIG BIG thank you to BrownBoy8872 who suggested Ymusic on reddit, that was EXACTLY what I was looking for:
Can login into my YouTube account
Can download full playlist and select resolution beforehand for all videos
Downloads are extremely fast just downloaded a playlists of 62 videos 720p in no time, everything downloads in seconds while other apps take minutes
Ads, but not adware like vidmate that keeps sending intrusive notifications if you don't force close/greenify it it after use
Excellent clean design, it even has the option to remove ads and support the developer which I just did
This really feels like an Android Pie/Android 10 app while all other apps to download videos feel like 1998 symbian apps lol

yes I am able to download the videos but the app is not a video player you have to selecf the right format while downloading and then I use MX Player Pro to reproduce them
Alright the dev reached out to me. At the top right next to the sleep timer there is a video camera icon. You tap this to enable video. I thought this was for uploading video like it is on the YouTube and vanced apps. I left it grayed out and this is why i didnt see video, even after I downloaded the video only links.
Anyway all sorted out.
