Video app only partially plays vids

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.

[Q] Inception "File Not Found"

Hi. I tried to play the movie Inception and i get the message "File Not Found". I played several times before that. I browse the sdcard and not found it. Believe me, I do not delete it. I need any suggestion or anyone post the file. Thanks

Hi. I tried it and the Media Hub does not show me the movie. Before that, the Media Hub show me the Inception option below the TV Store option but not now.

Did u switch the external SD card?

For me it did not work right away but it started to work about an hour from when I tried it. I think it had something to do with my 4g not up and running at the time. I just got this sweet device last night and we know how tmo is hit or miss with new network connect. could be 30min or 24 hours.

Just FYI the actual movie is one the external SD card so if u switched it its not gonna be recognized by the app.

[Q] TV out?

I've tried searching for anything on this topic and found nothing. I came from the Dinc and have noticed that the TB doesn't have a "TV out" option. Or at least I haven't been able to find it. What's the scoop on this?
Thanks

i believe either with a dock station or a DLNA ready device

Does that give you full remote display, or just let you play video/music files? As I understand it, DLNA only gives you access to your video/music files and not full remote display (so no Netflix, for example).

they actually are hosted through youtube and i dont believe they have subtitles, sorry, also due to drm and licencing the video player doesnt install on rooted phones, if you have root you will need to unroot or use the web market to view the movies. on a computer you can log into gmail and enter http://market.android.com/movies. on the phone they can be played in the web browser by first changing the useragent string to desktop mode by going into the adress bar and typing about:useragent and go to that adress. make sure it doesnt try to run a search. a popup will come up with a list of useragent options, tick the one labeled desktop and then go to http://market.android.com/movies you may need to log into gmail for this as well.

Has anyone watched a movie on here? I'm wondering if we can use our hdmi-out.

[Q] Videos won't play from apps or browser?

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?

Oh yeah I'm running CM_Merged (the last release) sorry for leaving that out.
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)
