Youtube in 1080p?

[martixy]

Can you guys recommend some way(the best way) to watch 1080p on the nexus.

No use in wasting the screen on the stupid native app, which nevermind not allowing FHD, simply has HORRIBLE upscaling.
I've tried some apps which mostly fail catastrophically for one reason or another.
Examples:
Not respecting forced orientation(a lot of the time I use the tablet laying down with my head in "landscape" mode so to speak).
Horrible UI navigation.
Or simply not being able to open/paste YT video links.

This player doesn´t allow me to set a higher resolution than 720p, not better than youtube..

@up that's weird. It used to work fine in 1080p.

Download the modded YouTube app in the forums, it works with me.

Youtube blocked downloading 1080p clips, i guess this also has the effect, that 1080p playback no longer works in other players.

Never heard of this before, good tip!

Thanks for this app :good:

The viral floating whatchamacallit actually has potential.
It does say that it supports 1080p so this has to be a bug.

So let's see what the feedback from the dev is.

Looks like the dev removed mention of 1080p from the app description. Shame, because it looks like a good app. Does anyone know of any 1080p solutions for us non-rooted people who can't use the modified YouTube apk?

You can set 1080p in your settings, the videoplayer still allows you to set 720p max

It's a pro version exclusive feature at the moment I guess

The lite version is not capable yet Well, I guess I´ll have to spend some bucks and buy the real thing.

It looks like they took the 1080p out of the paid version. Also, note the more recent reviews of people complaining they can't get 1080p.
