Guys,
Couple of Questions.
1. The stock video player is fine, except it doesn't remember the location in the video. Everytime you start the player, it starts from the begining. Any way to make it remember the location, or other alternatives?
2. How to stop the Media Scanner from running when you disconnect from PC or restart the phone. It takes a good 5-6mins, and stops you from using the Gallery during that time?
Thanks for your input.
1) can't really help you there with the defaults, try DoubleTwist ?
2) Media scanner will run as long as TouchWiz is running, AFAIK
The newer ROMs seem to have fixed the Media Scanner issue - but since they have other issues, I am going to wait for an official release - I rarely reboot my phone or mount my SD card.
There are other Video players in the market - try some of them. If I pause a video and exit the video player, but come back later - the video i was watching starts at the spot i paused it. I guess this probably doesn't stay across a power cycle. I am not sure if any video player will.
I've been using Meridian for both video and music and have been pretty happy. For video it will remember where you stopped (per video, and across power cycles). It even has an option to always rewind 3 seconds when coming back from another app.

Thanks for the replies. Will try Meridian.
As for the Media Scanner, it's not just after power cycle that it comes up, but also after I disconnect from PC.
I remember seeing a video that showed how to disable TW on Epic and Fascinate, but that didn't work for Captivate. Anyone else know how to disable TW, and what other things does that change? (contacts, messaging???)
Does anyone had any problem with their motorola xoom music player? Mine had been acting up recently, regardless if I am using stock apps or downloaded apps, or youtube, the music player will automatically pops up and played the tracks like I opened it. Even when I force close it, it will later pop back up again.
Anyone had similar problems?
I personally haven't.
Just noticed my One X video capture crashes everytime I use it, the camera still takes photos but the second I hit the video button it just quits.
I've only tried to record video once before and it was fine, but this was before the update was pushed out.
It's running stock 1.28.401.9. Please Help.
Have you tried rebooting your phone?
Everytime I try to make a flash video full screen for some reason it just goes to a black screen. The video keeps playing and so does sound but its all black until I hit the back button to go back to small video then its fine again. This occurs with any and all flash videos played in the browser on desktop view from embedded YouTube videos to videos on ESPN, etc.
Any ideas?
I use opera mobile. It works pretty well for imbedded full screen YouTube videos. I sometimes have problems with the stock browser playing YouTube if the internet connection is not that good.
I just recorded some video yesterday morning. Right after I took the video, I was able to play it back and watch it with no problems.
Today I'm trying to show the video to someone and it won't play at all. None of my videos work. They are saved to the device so I'm not trying to stream from the cloud. If I sit there and tap the play button repeatedly it'll move along without sound.
I've also tried using VLC to play it and had the same results
