Note 8 Netflix HDR issues

[NeoGrandizer]

Latest YouTube app REMOVED 2K/4K HDR playback on the Note 8. The only reason I can think of is it was incompatible as it was dropping frames at specific sections of the video. It played smoothly but would clip and drop frames during specific points of the video.

Didn't affect me much as I've always used Chrome on my Note 8:

Not sure if that means it's playing HDR...

And the hilarious thing is that the 1440p option is now available on the iPhone YouTube app on the iPhone X.
