Question: Hi there
the stock video app on my tab plays videos partially then stops and goes back to the video list. Is this a known bug and if it is does anyone know how to fix it? If i access videos via the file explorer it plays fine!
Also is there any way to play all videos continuously and randomly or a player that does this?
Thanks

Hmm. Playing the video partially is weird. What if you keep tapping the screen? will it finish playing?
If you click on the menu button, there is a option that says "Auto Play Next".
Hi there
the video stops suddenly so i am unable to tap the screen. It then returns to video app screen. The same video will play fully if accessed via the file explorer, that's the weird thing. This means i can not use the auto play next feature within the video app although the video app is what plays the video when opened via explorer.

Does this happen on all video's?
Hi there yes it does?

Have you tried any other video players just to see if it also happens outside of the stock player?
Yes, i jave tried numerous apps such as qq, zimly and mixzing and they all work fine. They just do not have what i need, which is the ability to arrange videos in various orders such as date or size as well as auto play next or random play. The stock player is perfect for this need. As above, if i open.the videos via the my files folder it uses the stock app to play the videos and the problem is gone. This would be fine but this way you lose the ability to auto play video. Its extremely frustrating! The video app seems to play about 2 mins of videos then audio goes slightly jerky and it stops and returns to app. Is there a way to re install the video app? Thanks

Reinstalling the video app would require Root. Have you done that or considered it?
By advised rooting does invalidate your warranty. Samsung issued a newsletter to all service centres advising them if they received any phones that had been rooted they were not to carry out repairs under warranty.
Anyway, has it happened all the time since owning the Tab or has it only started playing up recently?
If it has been playing up all the time it may be something to do with the codecs of the video where when you select direct from the player it picks up the problem but misses when you select the video using a third-party selector (My Files you mentioned).
If that is the case there is nothing you can do about it other than ensure your movie files don't have the same codecs.
If it has been playing up only recently it will be some form of corruption that has crept in.
The only way you are going to get around this is either root your Tab and reinstall the Player.app (providing you can get hold of one that is).... or carry out a Factory Reset that should clear the problem.
Hi thanks the advice. I will try a factory reset abd hopefully that will work as i do not want to root the device.

Hey all, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I much enjoy watching movies on the DC's beautiful amoled display...
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Upon booting my phone, all videos run fine (mp4, flv, youtube, facebook, etc.). However, after several hours and upon going to play a video, it either doesn't load on site or, when opened in video player, moboplayer, mplayer, vplayer, etc, i get the "sorry this video cannot be played" message. Upon rebooting, my videos work again... for a time
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have any possible idea what's causing it/how to fix it? thanks in advance

I have had the music player and pandora not function untill after reboot. The music player would say that MP3 is not supported, lol. Also on imnuts voodoo kernel.
I'm having the same problem...after a while nothing is recognized on the media player and you tube videos play with no video, just a black screen...reboot fixes it...

Anyone tried updating Flash to see if it makes a difference?
I'm stock ed2 and have the same issue. Only a reboot fixes it for me.
I wonder if it's some kind of memory leak. Be interesting to look at when you start having the issue.

how do you do that? I mean, I've looked up flash updates, but I think it's built into the operating system? i can't find any. *I apologize if these are noob statements but I really am at a loss. And would flash alone account for ALL my videos not working, even ones that aren't flv files?

Stock ED2....same issue...reboot is only fix...gonna post to verizon support so maybe an update will fix.
It seems my audio issues only surface when I plug the headphone jack in b4 playing music, I get a "does not support this format message". When I start the music and then plug in, no problems.
Bumping this thread to see if anyone found a solution or knows what causes this.

I did hear someone say that installing CWM, PBJ lagfix kernel, and Gummy CHARGED ROM helped with freezing videos they would get, but I don't know what aspect of that helped.
Same issue here, on both ED2 and EE4. All apps that require the media player service, like YouTube, HBOgo, DoggCatcher, etc will NOT play until you reboot. Other apps that do not use the internal playback player like Poweramp continue to work. Only remedy is a reboot. VERY annoying.
I have submitted this issue to Samsung and I am waiting to see what they have to say. If EVERYONE else who has this issue and is reading this can do the same, it would be greatly appreciated.
I made this quick video summarizing the issues we are seeing here. If you can, please distribute it to people and maybe we can gain some attention. This is driving me nuts!

Similar Problem
Mine doesn't play videos from other sources no matter what. Lame because when I went over to GummyCharged, the same videos work fine.
Hey I'm having a problem and wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing or knows anything about it.
Whenever I try to watch a video I get some kind of playback error. I can play videos I already downloaded but if I try to watch from youtube or any other app or from a website in my browser, I get an error.
This started a few weeks ago and Its getting extremely annoying.
If anyone can help that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
Are you using a custom ROM?

Thanks for the reply!
Youtubes broken, and video player is missing on rage, try using rock player for streaming and use youtube 2.1.6 apk, might work better than the current youtube app.
thank you so much! any ideas on other apps too? (like adult swim, onion, etc)

Guys,
Have a mk808 with 4.2.2 firmware running on a 1080p connection. Pretty much everything works fine. I can watch mpg videos from my micro sd, can watch youtube sd and hd movies, can even watch trailers inside google play movie store. The problem is with my purchased hd movies. Even when I downloaded them and have them locally when I click play that little spinning circle (waiting signal) starts spinning in the center of the screen and I can wait there for an hour that the video doesnt start playing. This is weird and I could not think of a reason for that, since every other type of video I've tried works fine. Any ideas ??

I had nothing but video problems with stock 4.2.2. The only thing that made Google videos, Netflix and hulu plus work on my mk808b was flashing finless 1.7 rom. Even his 2.0+ roms didn't play the above right on mine and I don't have a clone.

Try the mx player from the play store and download the custom codex
Tanx man. That was also my solution. I found the new 2.1 ROM by Finless and it worked perfectly. Now all video services are working, and the system seems to be performing nicely too.

Anytime I try to watch a video on youtube,android system takes a huge part of the data and makes the videos keep buffering every 2 seconds.but i don't notice an excessive android data use when just browsing. It's fast and smooth. On other devices like galaxy s2 s3 or s4 and other brands,youtube is very smooth.how can i stop android system messing up my youtube streaming.help me please.thanks.

Hi! Thank you.I tried greenify root and hybernated maximum google apps but there is still no improvement.Android system seems out of control,grabbing all the internet data when i launch youtube app or viewing videos with the browser...maybe you can show me how to really make it. Thank you for your help.
Hi! I found a solution for youtube streaming. I don't use any youtube app. I just use the default browser. I enable desktop view and enable flash player too. And when I click on a video I set the quality on 144p or more.depending on my network strength. And that is all!! Now I watch easily and smoothly videos on youtube! Android system takes almost nothing from internet data while streaming videos. I can even vew them fullscreen mode. My brother's X peria Z had the same youtube issue.When I enabled desktop view and installed flash player on his device,everything goes smooth!!
I guess it could help others in the same situation. Thanks.
Has anyone else had freezing videos after the 4.4.2 update? The sound is fine on the videos but the video part is freezing skipping lagging very badly.
Have you tried a 3rd party app?
From my Wicked S3 on SOKP
Yeah I tried VLC and a couple others. I can record fine but not play. Even YouTube videos are doing it. Weird
The battery also dies extremely fast. When I plug phone into computer it freezes my phone right away

Are you talking about the issue where YouTube is all grayscale, and has about 4 different horizontal strips, only the top of which is the correct(ish) video?
If so, I heard that's the gapps package issue. Uninstall and reinstall from the market.
A temp fix is to change the video quality, and then restart video from the beginning. It fixes it for that single video. I'm a tad lazy and haven't tried the above fix, but I will right now!
As for the others, not sure!
