Bad YouTube quality playback

[tindodger]

Is anyone experiencing this?
I have seen videos from chrome that look much better then YouTube, on YouTube they look pixled while on chrome they look clear

That depends on the phone or the connection (although it would take a very strange set of circumstances for the connection to cause it). I've never noticed pixellation on the Youtube app. (I just watched a couple of videos to be sure.)

These 2 videos are the exact same one youtube and the other from chrome

YouTube

Chrome

For me there is a huge difference

The two videos themselves are different quality. If you watch the first one in Chrome you'll see that it's grainier than the second one. (Yes, that's what I did - using both Dolphin, my normal browser, and Chrome. They both showed more grain in the first video. Probably because what they pput on the site is a higher qualityversion than what Youtube normally uses.)

If you want to compare PLAYERS, go to a Youtube URL with one player, then go to EXACTLY THE SAME URL with the other player. What you're cpomparing is 2 videos of different quality, not the display quality differences of 2 players.

I have no problem with YouTube videos, I'm going on 4G full bars. Everything works fine no buffering, not pixelated and that's with always HQ set on.

I have uninstalled the updates for YouTube which brought me down to 4.x+
And the playback is better

If its a Quality issue just use this app called "Viral player" it let's you adjust the quality of any YouTube Video. This phone can only play up to 720p.the default YouTube app does not show 720p videos on this device that why I'm using the Viral app. It works fine for now until I find a suitable YouTube apk that shows the true full Video playback of this phone.
