[Bug] The videos stuttering if VP9 codec is enabled

[hassan-waris]

The videos I watch all stutter even on 1080p 60fps, and when I turn vp9 codec off the problems still persists

[qnblackcat]

Sorry but it sounds like a problem with your network speed.

[hassan-waris]

Hi, if I watch the video on the original YouTube all its find which happily runs at 1080p 60fps… only this uyou has a problem… my speeds are more than adequate enough for 4k content so 1080 60fps should be fine

[qnblackcat]

Laggy with YTUHD is a known issue. Now I‘m pretty confused because you said VP9 is disabled 🤷‍♂️, which means the stutter on 1080p/60fps is not relevant to YTUHD

Sorry but I don’t have an answer to your question.

What device are you using?

[hassan-waris]

iPhone 13 pro max

[qnblackcat]

@Poomsmart It seems like many people are facing this issue on the sideloaded version of YTUHD :/

[PoomSmart]

@qnblackcat Do they all face the problem even with the VP9 option disabled?

[qnblackcat]

@hassan-waris @SpecialOperations @ErSpieltHD Do you have the stuttering if you disable YTUHD?

[hassan-waris]

once I disabled vp9, ive had not issues what so ever everything is running smooth

@qnblackcat Now I need to know on what devices are we talking about. iPhone SE 1st gen for example won't handle 4K well due to hardware speed.

@qnblackcat Which videos specifically?

@PoomSmart I'm seeing the issues with these videos:

• https://youtube.com/watch?v=CxwJrzEdw1U @ 2160p
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ @ 2160p HDR

Both work fine when played with the latest YouTube (16.46.5) from the App Store. The HDR one on uYou+ stutters more than the other one, as you might expect.

@qnblackcat I saw that the v16.45.4-2.1 tagged commit is using YTUHD dylibs that were committed 2 months ago but 21 days ago @PoomSmart made a change to Common.x in YTUHD to uncomment the code that enables the entitlement spoofing. Was the YTUHD dylib in here built with it still commented out?

My phone info:

• 13 Pro Max on iOS 15.1.1
• uYouPlus_16.45.4_2.1.ipa
• Sideloaded with Sideloadly on a free Developer account

[PoomSmart]

@mihir-io Can you enable stats for nerds so that it displays this box?

[mihir-io]

@PoomSmart Sure thing. I've attached two screenshots of the Norway video while it's stuttering. The "Stats for Nerds" rapidly switches between "Playing" and "Buffering", but it's definitely not buffering because of network speed since I get a download speed of 300Mbps.

Also just a heads up, I'm planning to return my iPhone 13 Pro Max this weekend and swap out for the 13 Pro (non-Max), so while I wait for the 13 Pro to ship I might be unable to do more testing. I can pick up on it once I get the new phone though.

[PoomSmart]

@mihir-io YTUHD.dylib in this repo doesn't include entitlement spoofing. That could be the root cause. cc @qnblackcat

[qnblackcat]

@PoomSmart I use the latest version of YTUHD from your repo. Im not sure what am I missing?

[PoomSmart]

@qnblackcat You need to include entitlement spoofing when you compile YTUHD. The one in your repo doesn't have it.

[qnblackcat]

@mihir-io @hassan-waris Please try this version

uYouPlus 16.42.3 (2.1) & YTUHD_F1

[mihir-io]

@qnblackcat Unfortunately that one still gives me the same stuttering behavior.

[qnblackcat]

@PoomSmart I've just compiled YTUHD from your repo. Doesn't seem to be working according to @mihir-io

[hassan-waris]

@mihir-io @hassan-waris Please try this version

uYouPlus 16.42.3 (2.1) & YTUHD_F1

Hi mate thank you for this solution, I’m currently out of town so I’ll try this once I get back

[j21w91]

This is currently happening on my phone too.

phone: iPhone 13 Pro uYou: v2.1 Vp9: enabled Couple examples of videos: https://youtu.be/O5gpDDnkfFw https://youtu.be/drJviMIvHpA

[PoomSmart]

iPhone 11 iOS 15.3 beta uYou+ IPA above VP9 enabled Sideloaded with AltStore

No stuttering.. weird

[PoomSmart]

@qnblackcat Your IPA has the YTUHD that doesn't have entitlement spoofing. Please try this instead. YTUHD.dylib.zip

I also updated YTUHD repo so that you can compile with make SIDELOADED=1

~To verify that VP9 decoding is working, the Mystery field of stats for nerds must have HV text.~

To verify that VP9 decoding is working, the Mystery field of stats for nerds must have HV text.

Thanks. I will try it asap.

I wonder why my compiled deb doesn‘t work? Do I have to run any specific command? nvm, I see it

[qnblackcat]

@mihir-io @hassan-waris @j21w91 please try this one uYouPlus 16.42.3 (2.1) & YTUHD_F3

[ErSpieltHD]

@hassan-waris @SpecialOperations @qnblackcat

Do you have the stuttering if you disable YTUHD?

No. With it disabled it's fine. Just like @hassan-waris said. Can you please include this fix and dislike ipa into the next uYou+ version? When will the next version come out?

Why did you include YTUHD if YT itself natively supports 4k?

Still not working for iPhone 13 max pro. Stuttering and stats for nerds keep buffering even though my 5g connection is rock solid

The hamster emoji is appearing in the mystery field on stats for nerd too.

[qnblackcat]

@qnblackcat could you add an option to bring back the new quality selector?

Why do you need it?

1. You can configure the default video quality in YouTube's Setting.
2. uYou also allows you to configure the default video quality on Cellular/Wifi

[PoomSmart]

Added an issue to YTUHD

https://github.com/PoomSmart/YTUHD/issues/8

[UprisingPulse]

Why did you include YTUHD if YT itself natively supports 4k?

Sideloaded YouTube ipa on jailed phones doesn't enable 2k,4k. Only 1080p and below.

[zzmadzz36]

@all vp9 seems to be working normally now after the latest IOS update. Tested on iPhone 13 max pro. Will continue to monitor. But 2160p 60hz all runs fine without the stutter for me (as of today’s testing).

fyip

[qnblackcat]

@zzmadzz36 this is interesting. Can we talk on Discord?

[hassan-waris]

There’s a issue I can’t seem to fix. When I get sent YouTube links it opens the link in safari not the UYou+ It’s really annoying how do I fix this??

[qnblackcat]

@hassan-waris duplicate of #37

a Shortcut to open link in the uYou+ can be found in the FAQ page

I use this app, you can also add it as a share sheet option so links automatically open in apps it supports and it oddly works with uYou by default over the standard YouTube app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/opener-open-links-in-apps/id989565871

[Macleykun]

Is this issue still relevant? I tried it on my iPhone 13 and i don't seem to have this issue.

[qnblackcat]

Please refer to https://github.com/PoomSmart/YTUHD/issues/6 and https://github.com/PoomSmart/YTUHD/issues/8 for more info.

[qnblackcat]

Install uYouPlus via TrollStore should fix this issue
