[Q] Timeshift video and 4K video recording

Hi guys, I know that some have port the functionality from the Z2, but my question is, will there be any official release for such function in the future for the Z1C? I know it is capable, but the question is, will we get it or not officially? thanx in advance.

erm, is there any particular reason why not? or can we have another app that can do the same?

Snapdragon postet the difference between 800 and 801:
QTI’s 3rd Generation LTE modem, with support for RF360 and popular requirements such as LTE-Broadcast and LTE/3G Multi-SIM
HEVC 1080p support
Support for larger, faster camera sensors and improved image post processing
Maybe you don't get a liquid 4k experience and you don`t get the full 120fps in timeshift.
So it is possible, that Sony don't want difference in their App Specification.
But i would be happy, using Timeshift video, even if it has only 116 FPS or less.

First you have to look at the Android API for the camera:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html#intent-video
and
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html#camera-features
For example Timelaps would be no problem to realize with an APP. Because its an API Feature.
For SlowMotion you need a workaround, because Android (in this case the API) do not allow this kind of command on the camera.
A Possible solution is to manipulate the System, for example with root to push our own library into the System.
Slow Motion Apps in the appstore are nothing more than recording with normal speed and slow it down afterwards. (Maybe there are Apps with root, for real slow motion)

I only know the Sony app, as real slow motion.
Because you need root for slow motion, i would try the Sony App. There is a thread in XDA with all Sony camera apps.

Does redmi Note 8 Pro support widevine l1 and Netflix hd?

Since the ap for the Redmi Note 8 Pro is MediaTek, I wonder if it supports Netflix hd and widevine l1.

Not chinese version...
We have to wait for global version and see...
As Note 7 global has it, Note 8 Pro should....

@Plumplum88
And this is implemented in Hardware or in software?
A Global Rom flashed in to a Chinese RN8pro
would enabled it?

I think software as my older Oppo A3 was released without and get it with update
I can confirm Note 8 Pro sold in France has L1...

I have Netflix on my EU rom, but I don't know if it support HD.
Netflix come with ROM default app..like bloatware

Hi, for the owners of the Xiaomi redmi note 8 pro, French and European version, it would be interesting to know what DRM Info says about Widevine? At least there would be certainty of the L1. Thank you in advance to those who will do the test.

I got global version, bought in Poland, and I am sad to say that it shows widevine L3. It has a limit of 580p video from netflix, doesn't matter if you stream or download. Youtube though works nice with 60fps and HDR.

Hello everyone, I am a user and owner of a redmi note 8 pro 128gb/ 6gb GLOBAL. and I am sorry to say that according to the drm info apk the terminal has L1, however when opening netflix, the maximum resolution supported is 540p, and without having the HD logo enabled when viewing series or movie info, ... on the other hand Youtube Apk works great at 1080p60fps.

Netflix and Amazon prime video won't play HD content on RN8P
I am facing some issues with using Streaming services with RN8P. The DRM Info says the global variant of Redmi note 8 pro has widewine L1 certifications but the Netflix app says the L3 certifications and same case with Prime video,

hi,
i have the global version from the redmi note 8 pro.
DRM Info App Shows Widevine L1 and in Netflix it shows HD content!

UK purchased global version. DRM info app says L1 Netflix says L3

Hey, have you tried this apk of Netflix? It may work on other devices other than POCO phone f1 which is what I have, after installing I did notice it was in HD.

Thanks for this info. Have tried it but not sure quality was any better.

So if you go in your netflix app and click on:
-more
-app settings
scroll down, and tap on:
-playback specification
what do you see in the second line? widewine: L1 or L3?
also, underneath: what does it say for your maximum playback resolution?

I saw L3 there on the latest version of Netflix

Sadly L3 for me. Was hoping latest update would change this, but sadly not. SD is maximum resolution for me.

There's a specific apk of netflix which shows L1 on netflix.

HDR on Amazon Prime video app?

Hi there!
Some of you can play hdr content on Amazon prime video? The 7T is supposed to be certified but the maximum quality I can get is fullHD.
Back on November the option was there (settings-quality-streaming) which was 5.8GB/h but it disappeared three weeks ago. Now, the maximum is 1.8GB/h (fullHD).
Thanks.

Nobody with Amazon prime video? Really?

I am happy to check, but I honestly don't know how?

Not present
Just checked it's stuck at 1.8GB/Hr ! Any way to bring it back to 5GB / Hr ?

It's quite simple. Play a video with hdr option (the boys, the man in the hight castle, Jack Ryan, carnival row...).
While you are playing it (over WiFi if you can) touch the screen and under the duration bar you will see the resolution (hd, hd 1080 or hdr).
Or you can go to settings-qualitity-streaming (or download) and you should see something above 5GB/h.

I think is related to Amazon. This happens since they updated the app back on November (blue icon instead of white).
I cannot find the APK corresponding to the October version.

I just tried installing last 3 builds from Apkmirror and can confirm all 3 had same 1.8GB / Hr.
Sep build was worse as it has 460mb/hr.
Everytime I tried installing a new build, deleted all the cache and trace files of previous installation and proceeded. No luck

Update on 27th January 2020
I recently purchase the OnePlus 7T - HDR works on Netflix & YouTube. However, doesn't work on PrimeVideo app.
I had a chat with someone from the Amazon Support, here's an excerpt from that conversation (AgentName redacted) -
AgentName: Right now, Phones which has the Widevine L1 certification are able to access the videos in HD format only.
AgentName: Currently, HDR is not introduced in Prime Video app.
Me: Is that a region specific thing?
AgentName: We're adding the support for the phone one by one.
Me: Okay. Is there a list of phones that have already received the support? Something that will keep getting updated so that we can figure out which devices are now compatible
AgentName: We are working on this to adding the support for the phone one by one.
AgentName: To help you out, I've forwarded your expectations to our Prime videos Development Team so that they will look into this and may come up with HDR support for your phone in future updates.
Me: Okay. Thank you for your time AgentName. That's all I needed.
I think OnePlus should've done some work with these companies to ensure that their devices get HDR on these platforms before they mass produce and sell them. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon. :fingers-crossed:

No negative effect that I have noticed in YouTube

Videos look good for me

MEMC doesn't work
As far as it goes, my mi 10T pro doesn't do frame interpolation. MEMC may be region restricted or smthn, but since xiaomi support is ignoring my mails, i'm left in the dark. If anyone finds any settings associated with motion enhancement, pls let it be known here. TY

I was watching a football stream the other evening using the Firefox browser and the ROM smoothed out the footage to add additional frames
It looked great.
