Automatic quality of videos on YT - Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello, I am a new owner of ZUK Z2 PRO, of course I got rid of chinese, shop rom and replaced it with official ZUI (which is not something I was always wondering about, but is not terrbile). Anyway, I watch a lot of videos on YT and the problem is, that despite really good signal and fast internet from WIFI, a video quality is always set to 480p. Then I can select option "auto quality" and after that YT changes quality to .... 1080p if possible. Have You ever experienced this kind of problem ? Or maybe it can be some kind of hardware issue (I am totally grennhorn in this matter).
Hope You help me, cheers

Slingplayer playback

Hello... just want to ask if anyone here uses slingplayer with your tytn ii? Mine seems to play with a very low frame rate, resulting in jerky video playback. I've confirmed that this is not a problem with my upload speed cos i've tested it with another mobile phone (nokia) and it plays fine. Could this be related to the lack of driver problem raised in the sticky post? anyone else had this problem?
Yes I use Slingplayer Between UK and here in AD.
I dont think it can be related to the drivers as the Sling app is not configured to use d3d (as just about all other WM sw at the mo!)
Of course the data link quality you are using has an effect but the default playback settings for Sling mobile (under 'Player Options' 'Encoding) are...
Enable Sligstream optimisation - checked
Medium action selected.
I find I have a good quality picture if I select High Action once the buffer and Sling Optimisers have settled down.
If you have a very good data connection, try disabling the Slingstream optimiser and increasing the values apart from resolution a little.

I guess I'm lucky - works like a dream on my vario III with default settings.
I'm jealous!!
No, Really, I get a very good picture until it gets to the weekend here when everyone gets on their PC and the bandwidth reduces and causes it to slow between here and the UK. Watching Sling on the Media PC hooked to my TV is just the same on an 8Mb ADSL when this happens.
Have to shoot all those online gamers!!! (Had a strange turn then, sorry!)
I have to admit that it works far better on my Tilt than I ever expected it would (but I only connect via wi-fi hotspots).

With the cost of data connections anywhere outside of the US, we all use WiFi, anyone who doesn't has lots of money or their boss does!!

[Q] Video playback in stock internet browser.

Hi i bought my DS7 a while ago and I upgraded it to HC.
And I've noticed that under HC the video playback in internet browser i really choppy it used to be like that on Froyo as well but on HC it's even worse.
Sometimes video just stop for about 5-7 seconds and just skip forward after a while. The sound is fine.
I'm watching a normal quality 360p/480p straight from the webiste.
While I'm using YouTube app everything is fine even in high res videos.
Everything is smooth.
What may cause it ? Any ideas ?
My internet connection is 14Mb/s.
And I always connect via wi-fi cause I've got the wi-fi only model.
I really like that tablet but the choppy video playback is killing me.
And I don't want to sell it just because of that.
What websites are you watching off of?
Flash on android can accelerate some types of video, but not all.
I dont have any issues streaming 480p / h264(avc)+aac to my s7.
I would assume it could take up to 1080i/p if it wasnt for the fact the screen cant display it at all IF the video is in a format that can be accelerated.
Youtube switched over to h264 a while back as the iphones couldnt render vp6(or whatever it was) at all; so all but the oldest, unupdated videos are h264 which is accelerated.
Other websites can use whatever codec their flash video player allows, which potentially means you're watching a video in a codec that isnt accelerated on android = choppy even at low res.
I'm reading lots of websites.
Mostly www.gamezilla.pl, www.ppe.pl, www.gadżetomania.pl, www.ps3site.pl
These are polish websites about games and gadgets.
Could anyone try them on yours DS7 ?
I hate iPad and other 9/10 inch tablets but when I go to the mall and I try one of them with my favourite websites and it's always so super smooth I think more and more about buying one and selling my precious DS7 ...
If it's Android's fault or tegra's 2 then all I can do really is to buy a new tablet ;/
Can you provide a specific example?
I opened a random video and it works fine, it's also 720p
http://gamezilla.komputerswiat.pl/filmy/2011/39/guild-wars-2
Generally if it doesnt work on android it wont work on ios either as android supports more stuff (mainly via flash, non flash is equal)
Bummer ... Maybe I've got to much trash on my device.
I'll try to reset the whole thing to factory settings and I'll try it on fresh and clean setup. If that won't help then I'll look arround for different device I guess.
Thanks for trying anyway
If you can find a working example odds are it wont work on any tablet.
If that's the case only thing you can really do is yell at the website because they're using codecs that arnt favored by any platform (pcs can get-by by brute forcing their way though)
Let me see.
I watched this news today and it was really choppy all 3 YT videos :
http://www.ppe.pl/news-12500-PlayStation_Vita_wyladowalo_w_Japonii.html
Hmm strange, it's slightly choppy if you watch though the miniplayer.
But if you click the youtube button it loads and is completely smooth, so it's not the video itself. There's a possibility it's the miniplayer not behaving.
The youtube site player is a HTML5 one i believe, so it might either be flash or the player itself that's the issue. In this one example i'd say to just watch it though youtube, but that's not applicable on other sites if they're also giving issue.
From what I know if this happened on ios you simply end up with no video at all if it doesnt have the HTML5 version available. Assuming you dont watch it though the youtube app (which would still be recommeneded for both platforms if possible)
The reason i like to watch straight from the webiste is that its much more easy, less taping etc.
Just one tap and after watching I can carry on reading the news.
Thanks for help.
Have you tried Dolphin Hd browser. I stopped using the stock ds7 browser for the same reason

Video playback

I am going to keep firing away some comments and questions. This board seems a little inactive especially compared to the Galaxy Nexus forum that I came from
Overall I am really digging this phone, great built, great keyboard, great reception.
One thing I noticed though when streaming Netflix last night was that the playback seems choppy at times. Anybody else notice that? Does ICS or a different ROM fix this?

This might be specifically a Netflix compatibility or internet connection issue. I streamed video from the Xfinity TV Player yesterday and the quality was excellent.

poor sound coming out of video

I tried recording myself playing a guitar and the sound coming out of the video is terrible! is there any fix on it? gsmarena even knows the problem http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5-review-1411p7.php http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_5-review-1411p9.php I have a rooted device with an unlocked bootloader btw
this is very interesting for me since i want to use the phone often for audio recordings. i am just wondering why no other review made this conclusion yet.
the sample video at gsmarena sounds like it is impossible to record a clear audio stream with the camera??
did you try a third party camera app for testing? i just want to know if its a hardware limitation or a weak camera app.

Huawei p10 video sound issues, please help!

Hello guys,
I have a strange problem with my new p10. So when I am recording video under 10sec, it is ok. When the video is longer than 10 sec and I send it to someone via messenger, the sound is strange, like from space. (Please don't laugh at me ) I tried to change the quality, nothing worked. What is even more weird is, that if I use some app and add music to it, problem remains no matter quality. please help, I bought it on the internet and don't want to return it. Edit: forgot to say, that sound is bad only if you play the video on a pc or in another phone. In my phone every video is ok.
Kristina
Same problem. No solution?
video is very bad! it is very frustrating. does anybody have any solution for this? i am willing to even root this phone just to improve on the camera and video quality
Seems to be a compression problem. If all is fine on the Phone and you send it via messenger and it's corrupt on the other device, it looks like the messenger has a problem.
Did you try sending it via email?
