Full screen video - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to make the bottom bar with the soft buttons disappear during full screen video?
That is to have the video fill the WHOLE screen?
The stock player and MX player I have tried don't do this. Is there a solution?

After updating to the newest stock firmware, the default "video player" does it automatically. Other apps such as mx player, youtube, etc. still won't.

Are you talking about 4.0.4? Because I have the P3110 with 4.0.3 witch IS the latest official one and it does not do that

that's how the tablet interface works.
the best any app can do is turn the buttons into faint dots
the video player is a system app that uses a workaround normal apps can't use.
to get around this you either need to root your tablet and use a statusbar toggle app like gmd gesture controls, or install cyanogenmod and enable the setting that makes the system hide the bar instead of camouflaging it.

That gmd app was exactly what I was looking for. Thanx for the tip.
I don't particularly like its gesture control though. You mentioned there are other apps that can do the same (hide the status bar)? Can you list them?

Nope, for the 3110 and the 5110 the latest oficial is 4.0.3. Only for the x100 and the x113 is the 4.0.4.

same here disable automatic updates for flash player so it will not update again and again if you already downgraded to previous version.
Could anyone kindly put up links to the version of adobe air they used or which player, as itv player is not working like above (green screen).
First i had green screen change back to air 2.7 now i see pics but lines across like bad interference lol.
Worked ok on stock rom but not since custom rom.

what is the settings plugin ?? I just get adobe flashplayer which loads the internet settings but i cant alter plug in settings. Any help appreciated.
Could someone upload the compatable apks.for this to work.
Thanks
It's the flash player 11
try downloading flash player 10.2...it works fine for me, and i don't get green screen anymore
from where I can download v. 10.2?
xD did you try typing "flash player 10.2 apk" on google search bar?
I dont remember, some rapidshare link, filecrop, megaupload...who remembers
I think this is more down to adobe AIR rather than flashplayer itself especially itv player but I have tried most versions of air & flaysplayer, so I am now thinking this i more to do with the gpu rather than adobe. There are little to no settings on adobe to change hardware acceleration. So which versions are working on the lg are any working on custom roms?

Use ESfile manager and press the menu button. Then manager/app manager. Select the app then detail/remove updates!

Anyone know of a APP that will put Now Playing controls in my status bar

I saw it in a screenshot for the music player was wondering if there was something for grooveshark, pandora, or spotify that does the same?

I know Android Music Player has controls in the status bar pull-down menu and depending on the Android version (like CM7) sometimes is on the lockscreen as well. You really don't need one with Pandora or anything like that because the icon appears in the status bar pull-down menu and if you click it it takes you right to the song playing.
Maybe it could be built into a rom but I don't think there is an app for that!
Power amp does.

My pandora also shows up in my pull down... So I guess I'm at a loss for what you are looking for.

I have attached a screenshot of the controls for PowerAmp.
They are not persistent. If you stop music playback the controls disappear from the notification area. You can advance to the next song.

What rom are you on? Those screenshots are from ICS leak (stock). The controls do not show up with gingerbread.
I'd love to know about Spotify, I'd love to have easier to access controls for it.

That's awesome I'm going to try that right now.
The thing I miss most about my Captivate with CM7/9 is that they were getting much better with the lock screen controls working with Grooveshark. The first time I saw it, it would work 50/50 with Grooveshark or starting the stock music player. I think that GS did a fair bit of updates to their mobile app in order to make it work better with media controls now though...
I have spent a fair bit of time corresponding with the kids at GS and all I can say is they are freaking AWESOME!!! Grooveshark is my favorite program on the internet EVER!
They also gave me this lil gem, so I kinda love them. Really impressive devs at GS though, that's for sure.

[Q] media player that uses WHOLE screen?

Hey guys
I want to use the whole screen when I watch video on my xoom. Is anyone aware of a player that hides and expands video to the WHOLE screen while watching?
thanks
I usually use mx player.

I just tried mxplayer and it doesn't go full full screen. (ie: the bar is still at the bottom even though its reduced to the 3 dots)

The bottom bar is going to be there forever no matter what app you are in, especially if your xoom hasn't been rooted yet. If you have root, there are a few apps that let you toggle the bottom bar manually. And if you are running a custom rom, there are options too. In the EOS and AOKP roms, you can toggle the bottom bar through the power menu and in Cyanogenmod9, you can have the bottom bar auto-hide every time an app goes full screen.

Youtube BUG on official 4.2.2. for p3113

Hi, I've found a bug on official 4.2.2 p3113 firmware, when I'm watching videos on fullscreen mode in youtube the navigation bar does not hide and I can't control the video at the bottom!
This problem does not occur in Netflix for example. Anyone can confirm the same? Is there a way to fix this without rooting or going back to CM?

Happens to me on 4.1.1 and 4.2.2 . Probably is a bug with the youtube app itself. We just have to wait till they release a fix.
I wrote a review on the play store about this bug, if they ever read reviews.

I've checked a .mov video recorded on iPhone 6 but can't reproduce this issue.
Are you using latest version? One of old version has audio track selection issue.
I have updated to the latest version on Google play. You may wish to check it with a video taken by Iphone 4 then. If you cannot find one please tell me where I could upload for you a sample,

What's your device? I've tried some of my devices but can't reproduce this issue.
Also try HW+ decoder, it can detect audio track better than HW decoder.

Selected hw+ and now it's ok. My tablet is HP 10 android 4.1.2.
Tell me please, is there anyway to get truly full screen viewing experience? I mean whereby black bar with three white dots at the bottom will completely disappear?

I think HP 10 has software navigation buttons.
Check if following options is checked: settings > Player > Software navigation buttons.

It has and its checked. The buttons are not visible during the playback. However the issue is that I get a "black bar" of about 1 centimeter at the bottom of my screen, at the place where those buttons are.

It is issue of old Android tablet UI, typically happens on Honeycomb and ICS but your device looks like following ICS UI layout even though it is JellyBean actually. There is no workaround for it, unfortunately.

You can use an app to hide the notification bar, they require root though
I have the HP tablet that seems was developed for Indian market (and they sell it in Thailand too.) I tried a good number of rooting ways, all of them weren't successful.
