Youtube App 1080p 60 FPS dropping frames? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
Recently I bought the Note 5, couldn't be happier about it, but there's one thing that seems off. When trying to watch a 1080p 60 fps video in the YouTube App, even tough it says 1080p 60 fps, I fell like it's dropping frames like crazy, not really playing the media at 60 fps. When playing the video in the small windows while searching for other videos, or even if I download the video and then play it, then I get the smooth reproduction.
Same thing happens to me on my PC when watching 1080p 60 FPS videos on Chrome in full screen, on my 1440 Asus RoG Swift. In the stats window I can see it's loseing frames, but if I watch it in window mode it plays fine.
Maybe it has to do with 1440p displays and 1080p 60 fps compatibility or something like that?
Anyone has noted the same thing?

Anyone?

Galaxy note 4 here, same problem, still occuring as of August 2016. There is a google products forum which started on August 8th, and according to everyone who's posted there, this is a problem isolated to samsung devices.

Was stuck with a HD video, could not found any player to play it correctly
I only use the stock player from LG optimus 2x come with. but this still can't play 1080p but 720p is fine for me after I got mine LG P990 v10b update last night,
so I have to test my FHD recording later and see how is the fps and quality

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The two Tegra videos (1080p) that came with the phone run just fine, even on HDMI out.
You are probably encoding your videos with the wrong AVC profile. O2X supports nothing other than baseline profile, so all else will be laggy.

no I have try the same video in 720p mp4 is laggy before the update, and now everything work fine, and this 2 FHD come with the phone is difference
p.s. I didnt encoding I just download a 720p MTV video from youtube without converting or re-encoding.
Reviews have said that 720p is better then the lower 1080p 24 fps - so you might want to just stay with 720p.
You should never really notice a difference on the phone, and on a TV monitor, even at 30 fps, it is hard to notice the difference until you get up to a 46-50 inch or larger screen.
Encoding, downloading, doesn't matter. If it is anything other than baseline profile it will lag no matter how many updates we get. That being said, I don't know what youtube uses, so it might be something else completely.

Tab S 8.4 Video Playback Lower FPS Out of the Box and Fix

I received my new Tab S 8.4 LTE just this morning at work, I plugged in the power and fired up the bad boy.
After some quick setups and downloaded some apps, I went to test how the video looks. Took out my 128GB MicroSDXC from the Tab PRO 8.4 (yes, it works in my PRO), it has some high variable bit-rate short music videos I encoded with H264 + AAC (Variable 8Mbps - 40Mbps, 23.97 fps).
First, I used the built in player... and to my surprise.. the video is noticeably playing at a lower frame rate and audio is sliiightly out of sync. Not sure the right word for a video playing a lower frame rate, it is not jittery, not stuttery. I tried all the other videos, the same.... including the Samsung video in the internal storage, which showing ~14Mbps data rate.
I then tried MX Player with all H/W+ deoder switched on, same thing. Then I tried BSPlayer, also with Hardware acceleration, no good. I was disappointed. I searched this forum and googled but I only keep seeing people with micro stutters, but not the issue I'm looking for. Restarted the Tab S, same thing.
I don't understand... the videos are working fine in the PRO. I was thinking maybe QS800 is superior ?
Eventually I decided to just Factory Reset and redo the whole thing again, to see if that fixes it. And it did fix it. Videos are running as smooth as it should again, yay :laugh:
So in case anyone else having video frame rate issue, Factory Reset. Case Closed.
How do you test your video framerates?
That's what I was looking for earlier, but since I was at work, I couldn't look for long enough. Was hoping something like Fraps is available, but I just went ahead and Factory Reset it while I only had a few apps installed.
But the video frame rate issue was noticeable as long as you have watched the video with different means (Computer or another working tablet) to compare.
To check the video's original frame rate itself, and since I use MX Player, I just tap and hold the video file, then tap Properties. It shows frame rate, bit rate, video resolution, codec, etc.

Camera video problems when on 1080 resolution

Hi,
I just got my brand new op3 2 days ago ... updated to OxygenOS 3.2.6 as soon as I configured. Restored my apps from google play, all normal.
So far is an awesome device, but at least mine has one annoying issue when recordin video in 1080 resolution not being smooth.
When recording in 1080 resolution , the result is a jittery video .. seems it has some kind of lag.
When recording on 4k or 720 .. then is fantastic, and this drives me crazy because I allways use to record in 1080 mode. Tried with stock camera and Open Camera with same results .... done this test a lot of times.
Does anyone have the same issue ?
Here a 2 sample videos where you can see it clearly:
1080 ... see especially on sec 0:20
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4AVYireYLw
4K .. same scene on sec 0:12
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPqE9IgepZk
Have done this test lots of times with many different videos ... allways 1080 is not smooth at all.
Could someone make a little test to see if also happen to you? record a video at 1080 and similar at 4K
I found these videos in youtube of someone testing 1080 recording with OxygenOS 3.2.6 ... and also seems not smooth:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVS_P1Inn8U
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9n2YvhyJtw
Regardless what some people might say (because they don't see it), everybody has this issue with 1080p running OxygenOS 3.2.x.
This issue persists since the OP3 got released and there is nothing we can do to manually fix it.
In my opinion the OIS simply does not work at all when using 1080p
Some say that this got fixed with the recent community build 3.5.2 which also introduced 1080p 60 fps recording.
I can't comment on that because I never tested this build.
Same thing here, 720 and 4K are OK, but 1080 is jumpy.

Fixed, installed OxygenOS 3.5.2 Community Rom and problem is fixed !! ...

Note 8 Video Judder/Stutter

I have new Snapdragon unlocked Note 8 and videos from youtube/netflix/local have stuttering/judder. It seems to effect 24fps content most. 60fps videos generally look smooth. It also does not seem to make a difference if I play them locally vs streaming.
These videos displays the issue well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW1IUiVknwI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vigX3H7WX5Q
Watch them in 360p/480p so it forces a lower framerate. On my phone the RTINGS logo has stutter/skips.
If you change the quality to 720p(60) the judder goes away on my phone.
Does any one else have this issue? I am comparing the results with my Axon 7 and PC and neither have this issue.

Pixelated video streaming

Hi there,
I have recently claimed my galaxy note 9 in insurance and they sent me a replacement device. However, when i am streaming videos on YouTube or netflix or even recorded videos from camera appears distorted and pixels are visible in dark videos. I sent this device back to samsung twice but they are unable to replicate the fault. I have tried all the resolution in display settings but the problem persists. 1080p video seems SD.
Apart from that the overall display has this unusual fadeness like an instagram fillter.
Anyone having this
