I don't see an option to watch 4k videos on YouTube, I can only see 720P and nothing higher than that. Does anyone know if there is trick to it? Any help will be much appreciated.
Yes, I'm on the same boat as you. Apparently it's only the Android version of YouTube. The iOS version displays 1080p. Hoping Google fixed the issue as the Nexus 6 and 9 release is close.
The screen can only handle 1440p so 4k YouTube streaming won't make much a difference really. But since I have not done so myself.. Could be wrong. But you are right 720p is our max atm.. Bummer

I've been trying to figure out how to play 1440p videos ..YouTube had a apk for it but removed it..Can anyone confirm 1440p is working?
Edit: And I can also just see 720p and below

To make it stick at 1440 you start playing the video then go to settings, quality, click 1440, start the video over.. might have to do it 6 times until you get the hang of it. Thanks

Hi
I was wondering is there a way or an app to watch youtube videos in 720p, not just HQ? Thanks.

I think it also has something to do with the quality of the video. If the quality is low, the video wont have a HD option.
Hope this helps.

It's not the video, I think. I have ogYoutube and official Youtube apps. Same thing with both of them. I have H+ connection btw.
I saw a tweak in custom rom to make youtube videos play in hd. Is there a way to do this with mobile data connection too?
Good day,
I just noticed that the youtube videos in app only go up to 360p. This is horrible. Is anyone else have the same problem? Is it just version related?
Thanks

That how the default YouTube app for Android. If you want higher, you need to root the phone and use a modded version of youtube.

In that case I would say that a Google problem? In any case, there are modded youtube app on XDA that allows 720/1080p.
It sx, I might take a look to modded apps or mod this one myself, if I find how.

If you're rooted change your android version in build.prop to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4. Then reboot and 480p will appear. 720p or higher are useless on a qHD screen.
If you want to have 720p, install app settings and then edit screen option for youtube to 600x1024, it will appear 720p option
(for better result use dpi 220 and font scale 90 too)
On xda you can find a modded Youtube version that supports 720p & 1080p. It also supports "play while screen off" = the best feature ever! Works great on my S4 Mini!
It almost seems to me it would be shared as full speed, and you can simply slow it down in the LG gallery. Is this true? I uploaded a video to YouTube and it was full speed.

It captures 120 frames per second, meaning you have 4 times more frames than regular 30fps. You should upload it to your computer and then edit it. YouTube will play the video in regular 30fps because that is the normal. btw the 120fps leaves the picture quality pretty useless :/

Bummer. So slow motion is pretty much useless on this phone?

Well, no not at all. I think that you need to read about FPS and video recording in general. It takes the slow motion pictures, but if you uploaded it to youtube it will NOT play in 120fps because YT does not support that and it would be amazingly slow (also big filesize).
Use a editing software to select the parts you want to be in slow motion, and if you want the whole video to be in slow motion you need to convert the 120fps to 30fps but stretch it. If you know what i mean.

Yeah I do, I think it's just more or less a bummer that I'd have to edit it on a computer to get the full effect.
Unless you can do the same thing with a mobile video editing app.

I would think that you can use a mobile app to do that, let me check if i can find anything for you.
Edit: sorry i cant find any solution in Google play either. I guess you have to use a pc.

So I've heard, but i guess you have to manually activate that setting while uploading, and wont surprise me if you cant do so from a mobile device.
It's the image quality that renders the slow motion useless.. it looks as bad as if they used quarter of the pixels for each frame, and blew it up, then do that 4 times each 30th of a second. I don't think even my Treo 650 videos were that pixelated.

The video has to be uploaded to a higher quality, most videos on YouTube are not higher than 1080p.
I have no issue seeing the 2K resolution when on a video that was uploaded in 2K. See attached photo.
Try the same video I did.

Have you updated your YouTube app?
If so, then the blame falls on Google. I know they have some lists for specific devices and being able to do such capabilities like VP9 playback.
If you are rooted, check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-patched-youtube-vp9-60fps-playback-t3418216
It's the one I am using, I had no idea it had an effect on 2K resolution too.
I am not rooted stock and waiting for nougar update....okay i will try contacting google fkr a possible sollution
Solveddddd.......i just uninstalled the installed updates to the youtube app
In other words uninstalling youtube from playstore and then trying playing a 2k video give me 2k resolution.. Updated to latest version again....and working
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?
