[Q] Chrome full screen video - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, just got my Nexus 5 and am really happy with it, but there is something I would like some help with. Coming from an iphone one thing I got used to was when using the chrome browser and clicking on an embedded video link, the video would automatically open in full screen. Right now when I click on an embedded video link, the video starts playing in the browser, but it just stays the same size as embedded link. I was wondering if there was a way to make the video automatically open in full screen mode.
Thanks

[Q] Watch ESPN app (officially WatchESPN)

Has anyone been able to use the new WatchESPN app successfully? It worked great at first when I was on their 4 hour trial period. Then I successfully added my cable company (FIOS) and when I click on any video, it does nothing. It doesn't even try to load the video.
Working here.
Did you complete your registration via the email sent to you.
do i need subscription or access via cable/satellite to espn3.com to be able to use this app to watch vbideo?
Video quality is still crappy. Unless they come up with an honeycomb version or someone could hack it to work with larger screens it is not that great
I tried, but the viewing size was too small. When I expand it, the picture was half off the screen. I switched to watching on Dolphin browser to watch my football game.
Revisiting this...trying to watch with VeganTab Ginger Edition.
Any video I try to watch that's not on ESPN3 (as listed on the schedule page) just gives me a generic ESPN logo with "error".
Going back to the schedule page gives me a "cannot load user data" message.
When I view the videos marked a ESPN3, I get audio, but the video is a still frame of the first frame loaded.
Anyone have any work arounds?

Youtube.com full screen don't work.

When I try to watch videos on the desktop version of Youtube my screen goes black and theres no audio. After that the browser stops loading pages but internet works on other apps. So to make the browser work again I need to reboot the tablet.
Anyone know how I can make desktop Youtube work in full screen? I am using stock browser and I have flash installed on my device.
Thanks

I have that problem whenever I try to go full screen on any flash video. You could try using the youtube app. Instead of rebooting your tablet, you could just go to settings->apps->running (or something like that) and force stop the browser. Doesn't fix your issue, but makes it faster to get the browser working again.

From what I'm reading in the reviews for Chrome Beta, it doesn't have flash support. That is why it goes straight to mobile youtube, even though you have it on desktop mode.

Okay. Hope they fix the stock browser so people can watch flash videos.
Where exactly are the links to the other videos? In the description? Because I can see links on video descriptions on youtube mobile, and I'm able to click on them.

The liks are in the video, not the description. The links only shows on desktop version.
The best thing you could do, until they fix full screen, is use dolphin or Opera browsers and use the large player option in youtube also make sure the video is in the highest quality possible and just zoom in until you are comfortable with the screen.
Ok people I got it to work on Opera Mobile app. Someone posted in the transformerforums, that they unnistalled Flash Player and installed it again and it worked. So I tried this, and I got it working on Opera Mobile full screen. At first when I went into full screen the video image didn't show, so I just changed the video quality and booom the image showed

Any one else having problems playing video directly from a website. I encountered this yesterday and it just wouldn't play the video. Every time i would hit play it would act like its loading but then put the cursor at the end of the video. Plus a few banners on the webpage wouldn't load and It would show that blank page with the error message saying to reload it or refresh it. Anyone know how to fix this, and yes I did reinstall the latest adobe flash player back on.

Can you give any more info? What's the website? Are you using a stock browser or another one? I spent some time streaming some html5 video through the stock browser (and the video player app that I get prompted for) without any problems but have not tried any flash content on Bean's Rom.

Why do photos and videos......

....open in editor mode? The wife’s is the same and the only way open videos so that you have the usual controls is to click the three dots on the bottom right and chose open in video player.
I’m sure it only happened since the last update. If i need to use the editor I will switch to it but that is rear. Can it be forced to open in player at the start?
Best regards,
Considering there are no replies at all, I may not have explained the problem properly.
When I click to open a video, it opens as the first picture. I then have to click the 3 dots on the bottom right to open it in video player (picture 2), that takes me to picture 3. I never before had to go through these steps before, it always used to open in the video player first. Am I the only one with this problem?
Hope someone can help.

I'm trying to understand, why you opening videos via Gallery app.
(i presume it's via Gallery app)
Have you got the Samsung Video Library app also installed.
You have to, to view videos directly.!
Link...
Samsung Video Library - Apps on Google Play
You can browse and play video content.
play.google.com
All you do is, open video directly from this app. Even hover S pen over video to get preview video.
See screenshots
Good luck.

The reason for that is because I always opened it from galley and it had, till recently, opened in video player, which is Samsung Video Library. Also, if you have any videos in the secure folder, you have no choice of opening it in video player unless you go through the extra clicks. That is the reason for looking somehow to force videos to open in Samsung Video Library from gallery as it used to do. Hope that makes sense.
Thank you to taking time to answer.

Thanks for explaining. I understand.
For me the Samsung Gallery app (video)
is now intended (actually been, quite some time now) if you either want to edit a video or set a video as Lockscreen wall.
Bottom line,
as i see it Samsung does not actually see Gallery app, as video player, as such....anymore.!
Only linking it (hiding) access in Gallery app settings.
So your choice is,
either use the Samsung Video library or bear the extra taps.!
Good luck.
