YouTube 1080p

[fracking4oil]

Ever since about the time YouTube forced Google+ on us, I haven't been able to get an option to play videos above 720p, even when stated in the title that a video is in 1080p as well marked as 1080p by YouTube Center. Is this an issue everyone is having or is something up with my settings or something?

Hmm I dunno my PC can only handle 360p or less lol.

Have you tried signing in to Google+? That's how I managed to watch videos in 1080p. But I'm not sure whether it's because of that or because I reset my IE settings and add-ons.

Yeah, but do you get an option to select 1080p when you press the cogwheel on the player? I can play 1080p videos just fine, except now that YouTube won't give me that option.

That's why I use YouTube Center, it auto selects the highest resolution & auto plays, but ever since about the time Google+ was forced on us no video will give me an option above 720p, auto play or not.

A crappy Laptop Don't remember what, but it seemed like he couldn't do anything.

IE

*shudders*

But look at their mascot , IE has to be awesome...

[fracking4oil]

Hmm, YouTube Center seems to be preventing videos from giving me the option of anything above 720p (wasn't the case until recently). By disabling YouTube Center I get all the resolution options back, only problem is that I hate YouTube without YouTube Center.

[Jamdude]

YouTube Centre limits the resolution, that's why I had to get rid of it

1080p works sometimes, but not always. 

Also, I technically pay for 20d/6u

Retested

Better, still frustrating. 

[fracking4oil]

Figured it out, you have to enable dash playback now to get anything above 720p.

That's silly, the whole point of YouTube Center was to disable that Along with changing the layout and scaling videos.
