Hi all ,
Has anyone tried to play 4k videos?
The videos them self play just fine but , when I check the resolution in both console and mirror mode, my tv says it 1080 .
The spec do list 4k ready.
Hi,
the latest versions of VLC are able to play with no issues 4k contents, you can get the nightly builds directly from here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/
Otherwise the new version MX Player Pro v1.7.31 supports now the K1 natively but it crash often, I tested it.
As far as I see some video are played directly smoothly with the built-in player.

it plays 4k video but does it display in 4k? i have a sieki 65 4k tv and when i connect my shield tablet to the TV it says 1080p 60hz when i press display button on my tv, this is outside of any video player. I know it can play the some samsung 4k sample clips i have but its not true 4k since it crops some of the video.
Hi,
As I've seen on gsmarena's review, this phone ONLY records 4k with h.265 codec.
Right now, this is a problem because many phones can't play h.265, google chrome (desktop and android) can't play it, and youtube, google drive and google photos can't process it. (I've tested it)
Do you know if there is a way of recording 4k with h.264?
I didn't find any problem playing my UHD 4K recordings. I transported a recording to my LG G4 as well and I could play it with all players.
Just my Samsung TV reported wrong codec.
Full HD recordings didn't have problems at all.

Any snapdragon 8xx, greater than 800, supports h265 playback. I currently have a Galaxy Note II which features an SD 800 and it can't decode h265.
And, about not having problems with 1080: Mate 9 only records with h265 on 4k. On 1080 resolution it uses h264.
But the point is... Google is not supporting h265 uploading on any of their services (photos, youtube and drive), even when youtube sometimes outputs h265. (On Drive you can upload it, but it can't make the video "streamable")
So... Is there a way to make Mate 9 record on 4K using h264 instead of h265?
My guess is using another camera. I imagine the 265 is there to keep filesize and perhaps iops down.

Since this device is getting a lot of popularity and some updates where launched, I'll bump this post up.
Any news? Has Huawei updated their camera to disable h265 on 4k?
I hope Huawei can give us an option to switch 4k codecs. I dont mind having larger sized 4k videos as long as its a format that is widely supported. One of the reviews stated that recording at 1080/60 produces larger file size than 4k. 4k shouldnt be compressed too much. Or at least give us the option not to
My 4K TV not have any problem to play this video. But VLC in my PC not play correctly.

Yeah, VLC doesn't support it. You have to use the regular windows media player, and it will work. I'm using Windows 10 home, and the regular media player plays it. I tried all the known ways for VLC to work such as placebo and slowest in the codec info settings, and they don't work. It's a known issue with VLC to this day.
Ok thanks. I'll try.
You can also use "MPC-HC" which old name was "Media Player Classic" (it's not the old microsfot media player), there are bundles with a lot of codecs like https://www.codecguide.com/
I personally use the "Mega" variant. I love it because it suports shaders (it's gorgeous to watch 720p and 1080p reescaled to 4k and with 1 or 2 filters of "sharpen complex") and it also has a TON of options.
I've just realised this is a problem for me. I bought the phone also for video recording possibilities and low and behold my 4K won't play on YouTube, let alone upload.
This is a massive flaw IMO with this phone and I'm gonna have to look at offloading it. Shame.

I wouldn't call it a flaw though, your device is using the most advanced 4K codec. Blame Google for not adopting the greatest and latest. But I see your point, you'll have to conform to whatever YouTube supports.

Hello,
I copied the video files from my mate 9 to my pc. I can't play them even after installing klite codec for x265.
Any solution?
Hi , I bought mx player pro on the Google play store and I've now side loaded to my fire TV but it says unable to validate when I try using it on the fire TV , how can I get it to work please
Hi everyone,
When I watch a video using MX Player Pro, the screen stops before the notch and nothing I do will bring it over it.
Youtube is able to go over so it seems it's a software issue, has anyone been able to solve it?
Thanks!
I commented on a similar question in another thread....
Play full-screen video?
Hello. I just saw that apps like Prime Video or HBO Max, do not play the videos in full screen leaving the area where the camera is with a large black margin. On the contrary, YouTube or Netflix do occupy the entire screen. Do you know if there...

I also bought mxplayer pro but i switched to vlc waiting developers to correct their mistake
if your phone is rooted you can use Aspo Mods and turn off ignore the camera cutout and all videos etc now have full screen
After updating system to android 12 now I can watch movies from my GoPro 9 in 4k 30 FPS without any glitch in VLC player .
Standard Xiaomi player still don't support 4k .
Can someone test it on his phone ?
