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.

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.

Videos not found in Videos or Gallery apps, but are seen in My Files

Hello all. I bought the S6 for my daughter, and she is having an issue with getting a video uploaded to Instagram. The video in question was taken by my wife and uploaded to her Google Drive. At this point, my daughter downloaded the video from Google Drive, and then, she tried to share it. She keeps getting a message that it can't be imported and that there is a problem processing the video. If I use My Files, I can find and directly play the video using Google Photos to do so (Google Photos is the only option provided to me to play the video). However, it's not found by the Gallery and Video apps. My wife sent her the video via Instagram (private message?) also, and that video works and shows up just fine. I will note that the video she sent via Instagram is an edited .mp4 file and the original from Google Drive is a .mov file. Can Samsung Video and Gallery apps not read .mov files? If they can, does anyone know why they won't show up on the phone or be uploaded via Instagram? Thanks in advance.

MX Player Pro : Loss of Cover Art/Thumbnails

After the most recent version upgrade of MX Player Pro (for my Android Tablet - version 9) thumbnail/cover art creation for each video file has disappeared and I don't seem able to regenerate them. I've stored the thumbnails/cover art as jpg's in the same folder as the relevant mp4 video file and with the same file name (apart from .jpg at the end). Before the most recent upgrade when viewing the video files the releveant jpg's would display correctly in the file thumbnail window - but not now, there's just a blank black space. I've tried selecting individual files and using the the Rebuild Thumbnails option (and even re-installing MX Player Pro) but nothing seems to happen. The strange thing is that when I select a file and look at its properties in the "Cover Art" field the right jpg is listed. So the software is locating the corresponding jpg files (as before) but just seems unable to display them.
Is this a new bug ? Is there an easy fix ? If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
