Hi,
50 fps videos are basically non-existent and any MediaTek processors support video decoding up to 30 fps only. Please choose 30 fps formats to be replayed.

This update won't be available via OTA. I added that information to the description some weeks ago. Unfortunately I have absolutely no information about this update or I would've added it to the changelog. The 'unknown resources' was reported to the engineers a long time ago but I don't know when an update fixing that will be released. Probably very soon.

HaHaHa Probably only bei UMI Company my old THL5000 and Elephone P2000 support Youtube with 1080p 50 and 60 fps  and  no Problem.
It is not a problem MTK Processor only bad Software or bad Hardware by Umi.

Both of your old phones are built with the much more powerful MT6592 SoC. Anyway all other UMi phones with higher performance processors can playback 60fps videos but the GPU will downgrade them to 30fps in the background. The 30fps limit is stated by MediaTek itself, even in relation with their currently highest performance SoC. Link: https://www.mediatek.com/products/smartphones/mediatek-helio-x30
The London is UMi's cheapest and lowest performance model in the current portfolio, so it simply cannot be compared to a few years old flagship. The UMi Zero, UMi's 2014 flagship also can playback 60fps YouTube videos without any issue. Generally don't expect a phone with MT6580 to be able to play 60fps HD Youtube videos properly. It's just the low-end category.
