Youtube quality on Pipo M9Pro

[madsega]

Hey guys,

I own a Pipo M9 Pro, resolution 1920x1200.
From day 1, I noticed that Youtube video quality is less than ok, all the videos look bad (pixelated) not matter if full screen or small window.

I made a screenshot from the tablet and one from the PC, at the same frame and the difference is visible:

Are you guys experiencing the same issue on M9Pro, and is there any fix for this?

Thanks.

I didn't notice that,maybe you should wipe it to make sure if it is a application conflict.

Thank you for your reply. Is it looking good on your tablet (you also have M9Pro?) from beginning?

When I received it, I had September or October firmware. It was looking pixelated with that firmware.
Then I updated to 21 Nov firmware, same quality. Now, I flashed with both Finless 1.4 & 1.5 ROM and it still looks like this. Can't really tell where the problem lies, maybe a hardware acceleration or codecs?

Problem is I can't find any related issue on google, so I don't know where to begin.

Cheers.

I had the same problem with youtube, but it was just because the internet connection was 2mbit/s on this tablet even though I'm having DSL 15.000 .
Try a app like speedtest to determine whether it's just a speed problem.

For me the following solved the problem completely:

-Use a simple SSID with no more than 8 letters
-Password also only 8 letters
-Wifi channel must be between 3 and 8

With this settings the speed went up from 2mbit/s to 12mbit/s, and youtube works juist perfect in hd mode

Hey mate,

Thanks for your advice. My connection speed (based on Network Signal Info https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...android.telnet) is ranging from 36Mb to 54Mb (max router speed).

Also, speedtest is showing me 12-14Mb download / 16-18 Mb upload.

On youtube, the HD mode is selected and looks ok on SG S2 & SG S4 via WIFI (or notebook Win7).

I don't think it's a connection problem . Could you possibly make a screenshot of a youtube HD video while in fullscreen to see how it looks on your end?

Thanks a bunch

Your connection is even better than mine, so this really shouldn't be causing the problem
I think the graphic chip in this tablet isn't really good, even games like subway surfers don't work smoothly for me..

Here's the screenshot, but it looks a bit better in reality:

As you've already tried different roms I also dont know what else to do, sry..

Maybe many problems will be solved when PiPo releases KitKat for this tablet, at least I hope so :-)

I actually got it fixed. It turned out to be from Youtube poor scaling technique.
I had to uninstall Youtube app and install a moded one (an older version I believe 4.4.11 - I have v5 MOD)

Here is a link for users that have the same issue (Youtube 4.4.11 v6 (MOD) - haven't tried this one yet):

As you can see in the screenshots, the quality is much better now because of settings.

Hope this helps guys

P.S: Thanks for the screenshot. Looks a bit pixelated to you as well?
Try installing the app and see if there's any quality changes.

Great to hear you solved the problem :-) I installed the app you recomended and think that theres at least a small difference, and the integrated downloader is really cool. Thanks for that.Next thing on my to do list is the wifi antenna ;D

[madsega]

My pleasure, great to hear you see improvements as well From what I read, you have to disable auto-update for Youtube in Apps area so it doesn't update and have to re-do the whole process.

As far as the wifi, check this link http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...n-instructions where I described how I fixed the wifi issue. That method worked for me, I hope it will work for you as well. All I can say is that I never experience disconnects anymore and my signal is still strong in all the rooms

Cheers
