Netflix HD? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

As the title suggests. I don't seem to be seeing HD playback and no app updates atm.

Works for me perfectly fine. Not 1080, but 720. The shows I watch don't even have 1080 so I don't care

Unlocked/rooted?

I can't get 1080p Netflix either. I don't think Netflix is even 720p on my Nexus 7.
When I watch youtube videos at 720p on the Nexus 7, it is very sharp. Netflix looks like upscaled 480p in comparison.
I'm hoping that maybe we will receive a Netflix update today or tomorrow since July 30 is the official release date of the Nexus 7. I can't remember if my Nexus 7 updated Netflix last Friday when I purchased it.

Slingbox

Anyone have the slingbox and having trouble with slingplayer on JB 4.2.1? I get good audio but no video, the video is a frozen frame and never updates. I have 4.2.1 running on my Nexus 7 and my Vz Galaxy Nexus. Slingplayer works fine on my Nexus 7. I have tried several roms and kernels and on my Vz GN the slingplayer will not play video, only audio.
It works fine on my nexus 7 but its not rooted its stock and the sling player app works fine

Compatible media player with 4.3?

As the title suggests and asks: Is there a 4.3 compatible media player?
MX, DicePlayer, VLC, etc. have left 4.3 users in the cold until they update their apps for Android 4.3 compability.
Others have reported BS Player, Mobo, etc to work, but they either result choppy or or audio/sound only but no picture.
I've tried ES File Manger's built-in player, Gallery. There's .mkv playback, but ES/Gallery are pretty slow/choppy and can't keep up and such.
MX has been quite fast with such an update in the past. Let's hope it's the same this time round.

You mean that one:

For me that does not work. There is no "This version is unsupported" message but cannot get video and sound to work. Some modes (SW) even close MX player without an error or anything.
I was reading about that bug, I just got done watch in a bluray rip so I dunno? Tried attaching but I'm getting a token error...I'll look at the site and see which one I have.
UPDATE yep thats what im runnin. K I'm running stock settings and mp4 plays perfect. I wonder if its codec related. Do you have any mp4 video you could test?
Vplayer has had the 4.3 update and works brilliantly

Hardware acceleration on vplayer don't work. Only in BSPlayer work proper
K after messing around trying to play a 720p video on vplayer(choppy as hell), bs(not much better) and MX player had no audio on mkv I got VLC. The latest nightly runs almost as good as MX, few weird pops and clicks, but totally watchable.

works on 4.3, no issues including custom codec.
Thanks everyone.
Tried VPlayer for a while. It was a nice run with VPlayer, but it's a battery clog/drainer, the holo ui is a nice thing about it, though.
That said, DicePlayer (my personal favorite and preferred choice) got 2 or 3 updates a few days ago and has been playing everything smoothly.
I got an update for MX Player earlier today, everything appears to be working again. Just thought I'd throw it out there for MX Player users/fans.

Netflix in HD with root?

Anyone here rooted and or with a custom ROM able to get Netflix to play at 1080p? Mine won't. Don't know of its because of root, deodex, not stock, slow internet, etc. Anyone able to chime in?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The most I've gotten is 720p, but I've read in the CleanRom thread that Hulu will play 1080p. The problem is either Netflix or your internet speed.

How can you tell if its playing in 720 or 1080 p? I just played the expendables 2 and it looks very good but I don't see where it said what quality.
So here is what I can tell you, you have video quality settings in your account on Netflix. Set that to best, then you have to have a high speed internet, even at that apparently to get HD your ISP has to have signed with Netflix for Netflix to stream it.
I noticed that my Google play movies will not play in HD on anything but the stock ROM. I can be rooted and get HD but not on a custom rom. Cleanrom won't even work. This is weird to me.

Netflix will range from low quality to HD to 1080p(if supported). 1080p on a 7" tab is overkill and much more bandwidth intensive. It would be skipping all over unless you have an almost flawless connection.

Netflix has been updated to work flawlessly on JB 4.3 !
Just update it
Does anyone know what shows/movie support 1080p right now?

Blurry YouTube?

Anyone having issues getting YouTube go be full resolution after the latest update? Check out how the lines of the M are all wavy! What gives?!
Touch the video. In the lower right corner of the video screen is an expansion icon. Press it to expand to the full Nexus 7 screen.

I believe the new YouTube app is only using 720 rather than 1080.

That's probably it. I'm using the old YouTube app with a mod that allows you to choose the quality settings. And it's much better than the new YouTube in terms of playback quality. I hope Google addresses this. Or hopefully someone will mod the new YouTube app to allow us to set the quality.

I hope so too, this is unacceptable. Especially right after the release of their flagship tablet with the highest pixel density.... I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this...
I didn't back up the old version and I can't restore... Any chance you would post the apk for an older version?
Or link to that mod?
Edit: found it

2 and 4k video playback

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.

Can you provide a link to a video that is laggy?

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.
