Facebook problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this is a problem of the app but just wanted to know that can anyone can solve it :what:
When i play any video on the fb app it plays the video in some ****ty video player i guess that's Facebook's video player and it doesn't shows me option to play from different players (some days ago it used to) like mx player or stock android player etc....
This problem started when i ticked auto play videos in the app settings but now i unticked it and it doesn't make any difference
Can someone help???

Hi,
Maybe try Settings/Apps then Menu/Reset app preferences?
Or maybe at least Settings/Apps choose Facebook and "Clear defaults".
Not sure since I don't use Facebook, just an idea...

Yep, it's the app. Once you've buffered the video it'll play automatically regardless of whether it's on WiFi or 3G. Blame them (Facebook)

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.

they actually are hosted through youtube and i dont believe they have subtitles, sorry, also due to drm and licencing the video player doesnt install on rooted phones, if you have root you will need to unroot or use the web market to view the movies. on a computer you can log into gmail and enter http://market.android.com/movies. on the phone they can be played in the web browser by first changing the useragent string to desktop mode by going into the adress bar and typing about:useragent and go to that adress. make sure it doesnt try to run a search. a popup will come up with a list of useragent options, tick the one labeled desktop and then go to http://market.android.com/movies you may need to log into gmail for this as well.
Has anyone watched a movie on here? I'm wondering if we can use our hdmi-out.

Music (through browser) while sleeping?

Are there any mods or apps that allow you to select which programs you would like to run in the background?
I like using dolphin hd browser to listen to music through different websites but when my phone goes to sleep it cuts them off from playing.
any ideas?
thanks
chris
are you sure the website doesn't have an app?
sorry about the not so good reply.

Use Miren Browser
Doesn't juice defender have some settings like that? May give it a try.

First. This thread needs to be in general.
2nd. It makes more sense to use the android app associated with the website for streaming media. There are multiple apps that support shoutcast. There is the digitally imported app for streaming techno and trance. There is also slacker and Pandora. All of these Apps will stream audio while phone is in sleep mode.

poweramp with gear2(solved)

Poweramp Track Title Doesn't Display on my Galaxy Gear2
When I use the Poweramp app to play music from my phone, the track title does not display in the Music App on my Galaxy Gear2. It works fine with Google Music and Samsung Music apps.
Anyone else have this issue using Poweramp? or how to make it work~
are you saying with the stock music player and google music you play a song on the phone and it automatically shows up on the watch ? , I been trying to get this to work with no luck yet , all I can do it pop music on the watch itself and play music from it.
is there a way to play and control music that's on your phone from the watch ?
or do files have to be stored on the watch, thinking the media controls on the watch would act as a remote for the phone.

Use the "Media Controller" found under Apps on the watch. Not the music player. But I think you can only skip or go back a track. You can't select what to listen to with Google music. You need to start it on your phone first.

Media controler works with every media player wich was started first on the phone. But it does not show the track with poweramp . Gear one is doing that

[Q] Video playback issues

When I watch a video through YouTube or chrome/Facebook it distorts with white and color lines. If I watch a video through the play app or watch a video already on my phone it's fine. Has anyone had this issue it kind of sucks trying to show off your new phone and you can't even play a YouTube video clearly
Also b4 anyone suggests it I unchecked the nuplayer option in developer settings and it still does the same thing
I guess no one else has had this issue?
