You really think this could work on gear 2 ? I don't see myself playing videos on this device, it such a small battery in it...
I've requested the same thing about 2month ago and been checking to see if one was added religiously. I hate that when i show off the pictures and videos on my watch I have to swipe through the several watch faces. :0(
Also the stock media player constantly shows the elapsed time at the bottom when playing videos. ;0(
Like this video for my instagram page. I hate the elapse time is always shown and can't be turned off or won't fade away after 5 or so seconds...

Watch movies
Best player by my experience is Core of cause
I did this with my gear 1 . Uploaded a video to it via USB . is there a way to do the same thing with the gear 2/neo ? I want to be able to upload a movie or show for a bus ride or long car ride . I dont see a video player app or a way to transfer anything but mp3s.
I don't like it!
This goes back to the Tizen SDK/apps thing.
We would need to get a Video player install package, and need to install it to the Gear 2 via USB and a computer. Unfortunately I don't know of any place to get a Tizen video player.
You can do this. I ran a few videos through Handbrake and transfered to the watch via USB. They then show up in the gallery and you can play them.
Not sure I'd want to watch any full length feature on this when I usually have a bigger screened phone with me, but it's been useful for putting instructional videos I've grabbed from Youtube and then playing from my wrist while I'm fixing something.

Never mind .I figured it out. Next time I wont try and do this in the middle of the night .
for ref : /opt/usr/media and in there is folders for video , music , and more.
You will need to make sure your mp4 is formatted correctly . ( In my case the standard android phone preset in my trans coder ) Once uploaded it will not always show up in gallery . You many need to restart the gear for it to refresh the contents. But it seems to play fine Volume and seek options on the screen .
I always watch youtube videos with the youtube app. Lets say i click on a channel and i click on the "all videos" tab to see all videos from the channel and scroll down, and then click on a video and make FULLSCREEN, no matter when i turn the s6 or click on the fullscreen button, then i am always at the beginning of the list!! also not there where i scrolled, im at the start of the list again BUT ONLY WHEN I VIEW A VIDEO IN FULLSCREEN, even when its only for 1 second. But when i view the video "normal" also not in fullscreen im there where i scrolled before!!! Is there anyway to stay where i scrolled before after i watched a video fullscreen???

Question for you guys...
I stream music from my phone while I work out, using Amazon Music. On my AW watch, once music is playing, it is always on the active watch face (change track, volume, etc). On the Gear, if I open the music app, I get the same features (even the cover art), but when the face times out, the app closes. Is there a way to get it stay on until I close it? It's handy to have running while I am working out.
Thanks!
I'm not sure if this helps, but my BeyondPod podcast app stays on my S3 music player widget after I initiate it on the paired S6 phone. Have you tried using the music player widget?

I have not, I'm more familiar with Android Wear. I will see if I can figure that out. You mean set it as one of the programs you can quickly access from the bezel?

Yes there's a music widget app. I have mines set up to be the first widget from my watch face for easy access. Any time you play music from your phone from mostly any app it will show up controls for it. Weather its the stock music app, YouTube, Spotify, play music, or SoundCloud to name the few I use it will show up. Just go all the way to the right of your watch fave with the bezel scroll and it will have the option to place a new widget and just hold the widget when place to move it around

This!! Music controls are essential. I also went from AW and this has been my biggest issue. I would have loved the watch to keep the app open, any app for that matter, until I chose otherwise.
My "fix" has been to add the music player app to open with the double click action, but it's still a pain.
Also, rotating the bezel to skip songs instead of volume, seems kind of redundant in my eyes, as there are already buttons for that on the screen.
so if I am tracking, you have to rotate to the widget each time you want to manipulate the music? am I getting it right? there is no "stay active" portion of the music player?
thanks all

It would seem that way. I really hope someone finds a fix for this.

It really shouldn't be that difficult either. I'm new to Tizen, but as far as I can understand, it was a feature they removed.
This doesn't really help solve the issue, but another way to get to the music player quickly is to swipe down from the top (12 o'clock position) of the watch face to get to the "quick settings." There you will see a music note - touch it and it brings up the music player.

Thanks While it's nice to have a shortcut there, you still have to navigate to that button every time, which is a hazzle. It seems we just have to wait till Samsung hopefully brings an update to fix this.
request it as a feature through samsung's help system, this can be found in the Samsung gear app in the help options.
i requested it there before I found this thread.

Thank you! :good: Didn't know they had that. Do you think they will actually listen?
big companies only listen to big noise, so it's unlikely they'll do anything unless more people suggest this.
thephonus directed my attention to this little tool in another thread: http://apps.samsung.com/gear/appDetail.as?appId=suQANKUenM
it's a decent temporary solution, while active it disables the standby/AOD timer.
you should be careful though, as it also prevents burn-in protection from activating (shifting pixels, low light)
....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.
