How to play YouTube videos in HD (1080p) through the Chromium application

1. Launch the Chromium application on your IFP50 series display and navigate to: www.youtube.com.

 

2. Select a video to play. Once the video starts, tap on the video to show additional options.


 

 

3. Tap the cogwheel icon on the top right corner to open Playback Settings.


 

4. Set the Quality to 1080p

 

NOTE: YouTube will automatically detect the best resolution based on your connection speed.

 

 

Alternatively, if you are unable to obtain the 1080p resolution on your YouTube videos through the Chromium browser, you may use a different browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. To sideload a different browser, please make sure to obtain the APK file and follow the guide below to install the application.
