Troubles with netflix on lineageOS 14.1 - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
My galaxy tab S 8.4 Wifi (T700) running on LineageOS 14.1 OFFICIAL (from LineageOS website) and nano opengapps won't show hd on netflix. Do you know why ? Was working fine on stock 6.0.1 and i didn't notice troubles on AOSP 6.0.1
Here's the things i've got using Netflix's example : BITRATE : 750kbps RES : 512x384 PAR : 4:3
I have also selected highest quality i netlfix's settings and i can watch in 1080p on youtube and on netflix on my laptop.
Thanks !

That's because Netflix decided that it will stream HD content only to a narrow list of Android devices, and only when they run a stock ROM. Solution? Dump this stupid and very arrogant streaming service. There are alternatives.

APPS Streaming videos Don't Work after update Marshmallow 6.0!!!

APPS Streaming video on Nexus 7 2013 -Clan & Disney Channeli- don't work after flash Stock Marshamallow 6.0 !!!
Don't steraming the videos ....maybe is a permissions issue or is needed upgrade code of application by developer to work with Marshmallow?
Already got a thread about Nexus 7 2013 marshmallow streaming issues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...-qa/video-freezes-marshmallow-update-t3224681
I would suggest going to: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list and make a bug report. Seems to only effect nexus 7's though.
Thanks
Thank you, seems is a marshmallow issue with streaming...

Slow tablet/ video issue

Hello, I have a slight issue with my Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi (flo). Currently running on Slim 6.0.1 alpha but to be honest it was the same on CM13 Nightly and Paranoid OS.
Whats the nature of the issue:
While playing 1080p youtube videos after every 10 seconds there is a half second frame stop - mildly annoying
If I watch my series on my tablet with VLC/BS Player/MX Player this POS does the same even with 720p - very annoying
There is nothing more just the occasional lag but as it is a 2 years old tablet with a 3 years old hardware I guess that's okay.
I tried a bunch of things (factory reset, wipe, reinstall, another OS) however, no progress yet. Since I am out of ideas would you be so kind and advise a possible solution?
Thank you in advance! (And pardon my English)
Please try the following:
download SPMC (alt) (Kodi)
install and run it
in SPMC install YouTube addon
Test it out and let us know.
My intuition tells me that the problem is WIFI/network related rather than hardware/rom related. One easy way to confirm this is to download the entire video to your tablet (maintaining the 1080 or 720 quality respectively), playing it locally, and seeing if you still get the frame drops.
I suspect that you won't.
If you don't, then it's time for communications diagnostics and optimizations. There's a slew of things that might help, from the simple (like turning off bluetooth), to the complex (hacks to increase communication buffer size), and so on.
Well, SPMC works with offline 720p mkv, now it is barely slowing however, I cannot set to watch youtube videos in 1080p. The default is 1080p and asks the resolution but the max is 720p.
Yup, definitely sounds like a bandwidth issue to me.
My fiancee has the exact same tablet, she bought it 2 months later at the same place. The only difference between the 2 devices is the OS. Her's runs on stock and mine runs on Slim 6, the stock plays videos online/offline flawlessly. Since mine is struggling with both I believe this is not a bandwidth issue but I am not an expert. Probably worth mentioning that my Meizu M1 Note and her Huawei P8 Lite runs videos smoothly.
Would it be a possible solution to reinstall the stock OS? Yes, I am that desperate.
BTW: Thank you!

Sure, please get factory image or use NRT to flash stock OS.

Note 3 Marshmallow that works with youtube DRM?

So I've recently tried upgrading from CM12 to a couple of different ROMS based on CM13 (Tamasek and Purity). With either rom I find that when I try to watch purchased Youtube videos I get an error of "This video is not playable on this device". I posted a message here as well as contacted google support and got some interesting feedback. In short Google stated that cyanogenmod stopped supporting DRM with CM13 and as such CM13 and CM14 will not play purchased videos from youtube or any other service.
My question is this. As being able to play back my purchased videos is somewhat a core feature that I need is there a Marshmallow rom out there that supports this type of playback, or am I SOL? From here on out when I want a new version of android I'll need to buy a new device?

Youtube videos not available at 1080p60

Hi i just bought the Mediapad M2 10.0 Premium edition. (with 64gb and 3g ram)
i did install all updates and apps as usual. But whatever i do i cannot get the youtube app to show me the option for 1080p60 .
I can play it in the browser in 1080p60 and it doesnt even break a sweat. So the device is capable of doing it.
I also followed this https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/SnUZLroxZOM
instructions to no avail.
Any ideas? do you have issues with this?
anyone? guys? can someone check and report please i really have to know so i can return the device if necessary

Force 1080p on Prime video?

So Amazon prime video only allows 1080p hd playback on certain android devices, galaxy s8 being one of them. I have a Oneplus 3 rooted with magisk, is there any way I can make the Amazon prime app think I have a s8 and therefore allow me to stream in full hd?
Thanks in advance.
Do you have xposed installed? Maybe try a "device spoof" faker/changer app in google play and simulate to be an official supported device for prime video. Then it should work.
The only question is, what specific app is best for that and what device spoof information are needed.
