[Q] video player help

hi i have a 3pg video on my phone which i tried to play and there didn't seem to be an associated player
i downloaded Arc Media Player and i got no video and only static sound
MoboPlayer seems to work, but in searching around i saw mention of a native application - what native application?
also, what is the 'Watch'? i assumed that would be a player but all it does is give me a handful of old movie trailers

You should be able to watch your recorded 3gp files through the gallery

Unable to stream video from Dropbox.

I am using Leedroid on my US One S. Using EU base. Try to stream an .mp4 video and it says unable to play. I installed VPlayer and still same result. On my HPtouchpad when I select video from drop box it asks which video player to use and then does play video. On my One S after selecting video from drop box it does not ask which video player to use. I tried setting defaults on every video player I have in apps association settings and still no go.
Any ideas?
Edit: found that is I use an AOSP from ,such as AOKPCB, drop box streaming works and prompts which player to use.
I guess issue has to do with Sense syncing.

Fullscreen video in Browser

Hi
I'm trying to view HTML 5 video in fullscreen. So far I have browser support vary for HTML 5 video- for example, at own3d.tv, Chrome displays video controls but upon entering fullscreen mode, a message is displayed that the video type is not supported. In the stock browser, the video plays but no controls are displayed. The video can be paused by touching the video.
Is there any way to force the display of video controls in the browser, or a gesture which allows entering full screen?
I am on a Galaxy S3 running a Cyanogen mod nightly from a couple of days a go.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Playing gallery videos - non default player

Is there anyway for playing the videos in the gallery in another media player by default other than the build in one, I have mx player installed and would like for the videos ive played in the gallery to play in that but if you click on the video in the gallery it just opens right up with no option as to what plays it. Searched the forum and have a found a few people asking but no one able to answer, also posted on the OPO forum but no one able to help.
Checked in the app info for gallery and mx player and cleared 'launch as default' but still just plays in the default app. Doesn't seem to be any app info por options for the default video player.
Reason i ask is that I have auto rotate disabled so if viewing videos that are shot in landscape they are not full screen, but if viewed in mx player there is a setting within the app to force them to full screen.

anyone?

mx player for video playing is not set as default.

while opening videos from gallery, the videos open in native video player instead of opening in mx player. i have mx player installed in my phone.
there is no option to configure the default setting.
please help.
if any body has any solution.

yup, same problem here, so i've just learned to live with the stock player lol

I think it's not possible to change this! Why I have no idea. There are volume problems with the default video player, as in it frequently starts loudest when the media volume is all the way down. Many times I've been in a quiet environment and boom it's loud and I have to scramble to turn it down manually. Also like the video to start fullscreen, which seems to me to be a sensible default behavior.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
why don't you open the videos from dcim folder using es explorer or any other file browser?

Same issue with VLC.

any update ??

yeah i also facing the issue ,have you found the solution?

It's something Samsung have done, even if you use a package disabler to freeze the stock video player, it just complains that there are no apps installed able to play videos from the gallery even if MX Player is installed
Sucky move

I even denied permission for the stock video player it still plays the videos in gallery regardless. And you are forced to allow permission to the player to access the file.
If there was anyway we could disable the default video player we could replace it with mxplayer.
The default stock video player is stupid. When you change the brightness it also changes the brightness of the whole phone.
