One approach is to search for 4K HEVC HDR in Youtube
Another approach is using Jellyfin Server and trying to play a 4K HEVC HDR video through their web interface.

Should be able to play 4K HEVC videos

Check whether your device (Android 11) supports 4K HEVC videos at operating system level,

Try, Codec Info (apk), package name; com.parseus.codecinfo from Fdroid. And kow what codec's encoder or decoder + resolution your android supports.

Generally, 4K requires lots of RAM and sometimes slow internet it shows please wait, loading or buffering. Hope your device must have sufficient RAM and faster internet connectivity,

Here these are concerns.

Thanks for taking a look

Check whether your device (Android 11) supports 4K HEVC videos at operating system level,

For reference, my NVIDIA Shield Pro works fine with 4K HEVC HDR when playing with:

Jellyfin Android TV app. It says it's using DirectPlay method (which shouldn't be transcoding).
SmartTube (Youtube fork), any video with 4K HEVC HDR keywords works.

The exact same media from Jellyfin isn't working with Cromite and neither are any 4K HEVC HDR videos in youtube.com?

Try, Codec Info (apk), package name; com.parseus.codecinfo from Fdroid. And kow what codec's encoder or decoder + resolution your android supports.

Just tried com.parseus.codecinfo. Is this the right field for determinating if the media can be played correctly?

OMX.Nvidia.h265.decode Hardware acceleration: true
OMX.Nvidia.h265.decode.secure Hardware acceleration: true
OMX.Nvidia.h265.encoder Hardware acceleration: true
OMX.Nvidia.h265.hevc.decoder Hardware acceleration: false

Hope your device must have sufficient RAM and faster internet connectivity,

It has 3 GB RAM and uses a CAT 8.1 Ethernet cable which is connected to my router that has full 1000/1000 up/down WAN fiber connection. There shouldn't be any bottlenecks with this setup :)

you should check whether you have any messages in the log.

Which log are you thinking about?

uazo commented 11 months ago

Which log are you thinking about?

console.log() and logcat, the former you can only extract if you connect the device to a desktop with chrome://inspect/#devices

Thanks! I connected the device with adb and was able to access the logs:

Seems like DirectPlay stream method isn't supported (meaning the problem isn't HEVC)

I do not have an Jellyfin Server at my disposal, so unless you allow me a direct check, I cannot help you.
