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] youtube refuse to play some videos (android)

hi,
I got a Galaxy Tab p1000, instead of an ipad. One of the reasons, is that I was expecting "full flash support". Unfortunately on few youtube videos I see the message "video cannot be played on mobile". Switching the user agent doesn't help. I don't understand this stupid limitation , I've been able to do lot of cpu/gpu intensive stuff on my Galaxy Tab.
Any way to force YouTube to show all videos ?
You can test this by searching "warp 1.9" and looking at the first video on youtube.

[Q] youtube and android system data using

Hi! My issue is simple: i'm using htc one xl. 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.

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.

[Q] How do I download Youtube videos ?

I used to have the initial MX player and was able to use it alongside the Youtube downloader to download and then later watch Youtube videos when I had no signal (which happens alot)
Then they redid the MX player and suddenly I can't download anything to it, I can play the stuff I had previously downloaded fine; I can even delete stuff from that past list. But I can't add new stuff to it.
What am I doing wrong here? I find it hard to believe that they'd update the MX player and make it worse/uunusable. I've sent request after request to the app developers but have heard nothing back. If anyone has anyanswers ir suggestions I'd be really greatful
Thanks

I think downloading youtube videos is not enterily legal, many app got removed from google play because of that.

m.tubemate.net

Out of scope of this app IMHO, for download YT videos use this app: YouTube Downloader.

MX Player itself has nothing to do with downloading anything. MX merely just plays whatever is given to it. Downloading YouTube videos is of questionnable legality, so we'll not discuss it further here. If you have problems with whatever app is doing that, you should talk to them.

I use two workarounds. You may try one if you like.
1. Change youtube to youtubepaw.com, for example, https://www.youtubepaw.com/the-link-of-video.
2. Try using this free YouTube downloader. It's workable on both desktop and mobile.

Video Player?

I'm brand new to the Gear/Tizen scene. Is there a video player app that allows you to play local video files stored on the Gear S2?

Cant say I've seen one - if you do find one, do let us know

I've had video play when video search the through text. But no video app launcher

I believe Filesmaster does but have not tried it yet.

Yeah it sure looks like it based on the screen shots for the companion Android app. Thanks!

Definitely you must download Filesmaster. It plays video, music, show pictures and open some text files. Great stuff to play media and manage files and folders.
I use Filesmaster to transfer movies from phone to S2 and watch then in train on way to office. It even plays subtitles too, only SRT format so far.
Wrote to author to add TXT subs too.

Thank you! This was the one thing that still had me on the edge of whether or not to buy. (I'm genuinely surprised that this doesn't seem to be as big a deal for anyone else; could find no other discussion on it). Just placed my Gear S2 3G order now.

You are welcome
One can find a few good apps for S2 but still miserable with apps on Samsung Apps store.
However, it is begin, S2 is sold for 2 months yet, so should be better with apps soon. Probably in few months will be
thousands of apps for s2. Cheers!
