[Q] Cant play videos! - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running: Cm12 (OTA) One Plus One
I cannot play videos with the stock video player. Not a big deal right? Just use VLC or MX player, which is fine for videos --> but this is affecting Snapchat as well. If I record a snap video, it records fine, but when it starts to play back it CANT and I get a "cannot play this video" error.
If I open up my camera and shoot a video, if I want to play it back using stock video player I get 'cannot play this video" but if I use VLC or MX player, it plays fine.
I think the stock video player is broken and its affecting my snapchats, what do I do?

Go to settings > Developer options > turn on USE NUPLAYER (experimental) option. It is located at the bottom of the settings under Media.
I had the same issue with stock gallery, because I had it turned off.

[Q] How to resume video which is opened in File Manager

When I open a video from File Manager, it doesn't resume. Ie, it always start it at the beginning. I tried different video players like MoboPlayer, BSPlayer Lite, RockPlayer, etc, but I always get the same result. Only the build-in video player can resume; however, it supports very limited video type (eg no .avi)
If I open the same video from these players, video always starts from previous point (ie, it does resume).
So, is it possible to set it to resume video when the file is opened in a File Manager (either by Android's settings generally or the specific video player)
Many thanks!!
Have you tried MX video player? I use it on both my transformer, and my inspire 4g, and I've never had an issue with it not resuming a video, that I can recall. Also, it has gesture controls for volume, brightness, and seek.
Go with mxvideoplayer. It's the best one out there right now, until vlc finishes at least.
Thank you
Just tried MX Video Player and it works perfectly to resume video. Thanks a lot!

need help with xbmc youtube mx player error.

Hopefully someone can help me with this error I can't find a solution anywhere. I'm using xbmc on my transformer and it's set to use MX player to play most of the video on it. My only issue is that for all youtube videos mx Player keeps giving me "can't play this video" all other types of videos work fine. Is there a fix that I can apply that will allow mx player to play youtube streams? If not, is there a way I can set in the playercorefactory.xml to use the internal DVDplayer for only youtube streams and mx player for everything else? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with MX player and youtube streams? Any help would be appreciated

I couldn't view any You Tube videos, so I sideloaded flash onto my transformer. This wasn't too successful, so then I downloaded the new YouTube app which is working fine.
As for your xbmc problem - I don't have the app, just know it is a multi media center/player.

Sorry, no. I was able to see video in the YouTube app whereas before I couldn't get any video to play in any browser. I know I had to sideload flash onto my TF101 - so whether it helped may also be a factor.
alright, so i find myself in same boat. Only thing is, I cant play Dailymotion videos which gives me same error using xbmc+mx player combo. have you found any solution?, I tried BS Player, Dice Player and making sure they were the external players by changing playercorefactory.xml file. but still no luck. I also tried switching decoder under mxplayer and all other players to only use hw decoder or sw decoder, but no luck.

When I try to play a specfic video another video plays instead. Help!!

Hi!
I have Moto G(3rd Gen), It's a Marshmallow android version 6.0. I try to play certain video which I want to watch but another video starts playing. Even when I choose some other video, then the same one plays again and again. This happens when I play videos using motorola gallery via Mx player. If a play video using BS player, VLC, etc. then this problem doesn't occurs. But I am addicted to MX player. And I want it to work properly. Please help me!!
Thank you!!(in advance)

Downloaded YouTube subtitles do not always work properly. Closed Captions work well.

I have downloaded YouTube videos to my LG G4 from PC's "4K Video Downloader". It's an amazing YouTube video downloader. I watch on my phone gallery, But just last month, not sure if the MX player update has messed up that transcribed.srt subtitles not showing on MX Player but the Closed Captions (CC) works well on MX Player. Strangely, VLC player auto detects the subtitles, transcribed.srt as well as CC. Please fix this bug. On my laptop, the media player auto detects either both SRTs without having to search them.
The another frustrating thing is when playing video: Subtitle/Open , select as per the video title.
