Then default quality at these utube videos is 1440p.

Bring up the menu to set to 2160p to get it right.

No, it is a UHD 4K.

HDR ones will be labeled UHD 4K PREMIUM.

During playback of the utube video...

Remote control, just press the center round button which is Enter.

The menu will pop up, u see one of them is quality setting. Enter again to see list, select.

The main remote control of this tv is quite complete, can handle almost everything in any app.

Only when it requires the mouse will u need to use the other remote control.

thanks to u, i watched several 4k vidos on youtube!

i never thought youtube has that many 4k videos.

anyone interested, search for pantagonia, biosphere, around the world - in 4k.

that will give u a glimpse at what 4k, 8k, 10k will do.

around the world 4k is nostalgic - london, dubai, australia, los angeles, new york...

satellites probably are equipped with at least 8k cameras... so, the spies can tell what color yr underwear is if they catch u in the open!

there is a menu to do fast forward, pause, settings, etc on any youtube version be it tv or pc or ipad.

a matter of how to bring it up.

on the tv, when u click on to play it, it shows the title, pause, length of video, quality, etc. it goes away in 2 secs.

if u press the enter button, the same menu will pop up again.

that's when u navigate with the remote to select the "quality".



version 1.0.5.4? it should be 1.3.8.

have up updated the system firmware since purchase?

please explore the options under settings - u find the update option there.

ue630x users...

u can get more from the tv!

get a good kodi build in the android, u will get a lot more from it.

KODI is a rather complex app but once u get it to work, it has quite a bit to offer.

i had below in my android box and copied wholesale onto the tv, it works just as good.


update...

i spent time to explore and clean up superboxbuild. happy with it now, but it's just my taste...

superbox build has a lot of stuff, incl cypher, adrian, bbts, phoenix, exodus +++.

see, i don't really care about sd streams, so i spent time checking the HD ones (720, 1080, 4k).

failed to get 4k stuff (mucky ducks and dna4k did not work).

but... good news... several addons give stable HD videos on demand.

in superbox, check out the following addons, they have HD contents that work:

.. world HD
.. watch 1080p
.. 123movies
.. titan
.. xmovies8

ya, 1channel, dailyflix, yify are "obsolete".

i now have those addons + adrian super tv (for skysports HD) + phoenix, + exodus + BBTS... more than enough HD streams for VOD and IPTV.

only thing i need to check is why superbox restricts audio to AAC since there is nothing i can get in DD or DTS in this build.

think so.

next bigger size will be an 80" LC-80XU930X - an 8k tv!
https://sharp.com.sg/web/products/prodDetail.asp?prodId=644

U can copy the files onto a HDD, then plug into the tv USB, it'll play.

Fat is no good for large files, gotta be ntfs, which the tv can take.

The tv can take even 35gb bdmv/m2ts via USB with ext HDD.

I have done a lot work and trials on this tv, incl the USB function, the arc audio and the android.

Read my previous posts, incl #323, 387.

That, I don't know... maybe this model is a poor version.

But there was an 8k tv launch few months ago.

been playing with the 5.1 lollipop android in the ue630x.

can get quite a bit more from the tv.

net of op sys and firmware, there is >9gb available for your use.


available from playstore:

.. NETFLIX in UHD4K, pay for subscription, of course.

.. youtube - can get UK's skynews live in 1080p, many uhd 4k short videos plus all the usuals.

.. KODI - if u hv a good build, can get lots of wonderful stuff - movies, TV shows, concerts, live TV (e.g. food network, CNBC, skysports) - 540/576/720/1080 upscaled quality. will need KODI handling experience:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3139601/+4000

.. es file explorer - need this for file management and to install your own apps.


install on your own:

.. any android app that u want - install apk's with es file explorer and usb drive.
.. there are no restrictions, can do anything with it like a normal android box:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3126605/+1620#top
.. IFLIX works, but only in SD.

it's nice to switch on just the tv, a few clicks with the remote to get channelnewsasia or some other channel - no fee, no other device required.

enjoy!

what built in app u used?


there are many factors - particularly router, broadband speed/stability, file size.

try smaller and bigger files, u may see the difference.

u mean using the remote play function in the media center?

that is using chromecast... poor.


plex... u mean plex installed from playstore?

plex, es file explorer, kodi, vlc... all can be used to stream from pc or some box to tv with wifi.

but... they are all good only for small files, all fail with bigger files. maybe paid versions can do the job.


the tv is a tv with a great android.... but does not have the best features for networking.

for that, u need to get at least a box.

(or some costly NAS system... there was a recent thread on this.)

a good android box's native player/networking features will be able to handle such streaming from say a pc via wifi to display on the tv.

it is actually quite simple to set up SMB or samba or sometimes called windows networking or file sharing.

i have tested my own box many times - can do 1080p, dts, even 4k videos.

es file explorer, kodi can't do at this time - whether android inside tv or android box.

ah, this one... works not with samba but dlna, i think.

tried it:

.. does not read many types pf files/formats.
.. ok for small files, no good for bigger ones.

i think the networking feature of this tv is low level.

add on top of the read issues of the usb drives, we can expect the rest.



can't escape... a tv is a tv is a tv. it is meant to display, not to playback or network heavily.

but i do find the android good, all apps incl kodi work very well, even with wifi.

the day will come when all are integrated into one big tv.

then can forget all the boxes and antennae!

good to know.

you mean change from 2.4ghz to 5ghz?

what router r u using?

This post has been edited by AVFAN: May 3 2016, 02:46 AM

nice!

take time to read the manual, explore the features.

you will find great value in the tv, incl the android inside.

no, it's not faulty.

it just hasn't been paired with the tv.

read the e-manual, there is a procedure.

can you try videos of a few sizes?

say 4, 8, 12gb?

if it works well with 12gb, then confirmed it is excellent with 5ghz.



i tried it again with kodi - works good up to 8gb or so.

larger files, fast action, it can't cope.

i'm using a single band 2.4ghz.

so, i should plan on a dual band router.

good, thanks.

i am not so much into streaming from pc, etc. as i prefer to do local playback for larger files which i tend to collect and keep.

smaller files, fabulous quasar can do direct on the tv itself, don't even need a box!

but it's a useful feature.

perhaps dual band gigabit will also boost overall wifi strength and coverage over say 50 ft?
