Default Video Player

Hi all,
on my Samsung S4 i can when i play an video (example from facebook app) choose any player i have installed(mx player, default player or video downloader)
so on my Nexus 5 it opens every Video in the Default Video app so i can't download it
i tried settings -> apps and set back all preferences for apps but it wont work.
have you an idea for me?
i do not want to get an other rom at this moment.

maybe it is your rom, it works how it should here. what rom are you using?

stock rom?
maybe the video itself that you are clicking doesnt get those options, maybe its only in a format that the default video player will play?

same facebook app or is it via their website?

samsung:
in app:
on click:
nexus 5
in app:
on click: (directly in video...)
when i go back in facebook -> the video plays in the facebook app ^^

I have the same issue you do, it plays in facebook's own video player not your devices video player. This started happening 2 updates ago, it's Facebook doing this it's not your device. I believe it's Kit Kat there is no video support aside from the Facebook player itself.
Update: Just Google Facebook apk 3.7 and it works just like you want it. You can use MX Player or any other video player and even download the video/s.

[Q]Yuv\rgb16 color format problem on (some) x264 10bit files

yuv works absolutely fine on every hi10 i tried , x265 , everything with 99% stable fps
except some of the x264 10bit , it generates black artifacts on white backgrounds like this one​

}
only fix i know is to switch to rgb32 , 16 doesn't solve this
and on my xperia z3 , no roms , 4 months old it runs slow , with cores up to 4 and it sucks to keep changing the color format depending on what i'm watching​

RGB32 is the superior format in terms of picture quality. Based on how the colourspace is defined in the hi10 profile, it's expected that artefacts may occur on YUV and RGB16; I don't think that anything can be done about this...
It is true that RGB32 is more processor intensive; unfortunately nothing can be done about that.

It looks like artifacts from some HW/HW+ decoder.
Please try SW decoder if HW/HW+ was used.

It was with s/w , cant run it with h/w
I dont mean anything bad really but other video players with yuv ran good -no artifacts- with the same fps
-But they're audio was far inferior quality and loudness also the 200% boost so..-
Is this something to be fixed in future updates or by custom codecs or something?
Thanks for the replies

Hi,
unfortunate it's not working on Lineage OS for kccat6, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S5.
If I turn it on, I've just a black frame after playing the GIF...
And if turned off, it's as already described.
Does someone has an idea?
appreciate!

GIF not working
Same here on g901f.
I also noticed, that .flv files are not recognized as playable video format. Maybe related?
Regards

9gag gifs are playable again
With the release lineage-14.1-20170227-UNOFFICIAL-kccat6xx GIFs are playing again (without experimental player)
Still no luck with .flv Videos.
Regards

HW decoder Ghosting Effect

Hi. I bought a Mini M8S II TV BOX with Amlogic S905X CPU and Mali-450 GPU. Then I installed MX Player Pro from Play Market. I tried different decoding modes .
Sound output is hdmi passthrough or spdif.
In HW+ mode sound output is stereo only. The picture is excellent.
In HW mode sound output is normally 5.1. But the picture has problem. There are ghost images from all moving objects.
Examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

The reason why HW+ can't do 5.1 passthrough is likely due to proprietary drivers than MX can't access. It works on HW as HW calls the system to do the decode, whereas HW+ uses MX's own logic to do so (and therefore no access to the proprietary SPDIF passthrough). As to whether it can be fixed, I'll leave to someone else to answer.

Thanks for the answer!
But what could be reason for ghost images in hw mode?

HW mode is based on the android native media player api. MX Player have very basic controls over it. In General anything on HW is basically from your ROM. It seems to be a bug on your ROM.

Kindly read my reply just above your post.
In General most of the issues with HW decoder will be from the system. Try HW+ or SW. It may work better.
Kindly share some screenshots & bug report from MX Player whenever you report an issue.

Question HDR10+ Pretty wonky?

Can't play any HDR10+ videos on my phone for some reason. It can only play HDR10+ videos recorded by the phone. When I open the "Video" app I can see a small HDR10+ icon.
However, the mediainfo says it's HDR10? And when I load any HDR10+ video it says it's HDR10 only??
The clip I downloaded was from this site.
The media info of the HDR10+ Test Video and the Video recorded from the phone. And of how it looks like in the Video app, Pic
You can see how weird it is, would love some insight

Plays good, no problem here.
S908E One UI 5.0 Soul ROM VIP10

I Downloaded the video from the link your provided and it played ok on S22 ultra Android 13 stock one UI 5.0, snapdragon model. Are you on stock Android? Are you using the stock video player? Did you install other video player that could be interfere with it?

Played fine for me.

I'm using stock android. I used the stock video player, MX Player, Just Video Player/Just Player, MPV and VLC. All of them have the same output. The Increase contrast has no difference with the output and the decrease brightness one decreases the brightness of the whole scene, nothing like what the demo pics showed. Also, I'm using the Vivid screen mode which unlocks DCI-P3 which would be great for HDR content, still getting nothing. I'm posting the photos of what I'm getting and what I expected to get over here.
What I expected :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
what I got in
Decrease Brightness
Ideal Tonemapping
Increase Contrast
