I'm brand new to the Gear/Tizen scene. Is there a video player app that allows you to play local video files stored on the Gear S2?
Cant say I've seen one - if you do find one, do let us know
I've had video play when video search the through text. But no video app launcher
I believe Filesmaster does but have not tried it yet.

Yeah it sure looks like it based on the screen shots for the companion Android app. Thanks!

Definitely you must download Filesmaster. It plays video, music, show pictures and open some text files. Great stuff to play media and manage files and folders.
I use Filesmaster to transfer movies from phone to S2 and watch then in train on way to office. It even plays subtitles too, only SRT format so far.
Wrote to author to add TXT subs too.

Thank you! This was the one thing that still had me on the edge of whether or not to buy. (I'm genuinely surprised that this doesn't seem to be as big a deal for anyone else; could find no other discussion on it). Just placed my Gear S2 3G order now.

You are welcome
One can find a few good apps for S2 but still miserable with apps on Samsung Apps store.
However, it is begin, S2 is sold for 2 months yet, so should be better with apps soon. Probably in few months will be
thousands of apps for s2. Cheers!

Hmmm if you want also to watch youtube you need profeasional version but for me it is enough without youtube. I was amazed that it can show full hd video without laggs even if i surf the net and etc. Tried also stickup but didnt like it, laggy, not free
Agreed, the app is just fine as it is. It works super smooth on Note as well as my Asus transformer tablet. Might buy the app if price is reasonable to support the developer, very professional quality app.
Thanks man, downloading now to give it a try.
its not playing simple .avi file

Yeh lol, biggest thnx goes for amazing developer i was going also to buy s3 but now of all those software features will be ported to note, so then i prefer waiting for note 2
tried big bunny sample 1080p http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/ and no laggs, smooth, amazing app
nice app. thanks for the heads up
question: just tried this with big bunny 1080p and am unable to change audio channel. the default on that file seems to be no audio. had the same issue when playing it with mxplayer, had to select audio channel manually but i cant find out to do that in this app?

hmmm, seems that we need to wait for more available formats, as i can see this app not so long time ago apeared, so we need to wait
but i have tried .avi and for me it works. Maybe try to install mx video player and it will install codecs in your phone or you have custom rom, because im using lpy stock
ive had a good play with the free version and there are a couple of minor issues.
cant select multiple audio tracks 720p/1080p mkv
with subtitle checked still doesnt show subs 1080p mkv
crashes too
but apart from that this app is fecking awesome. i think it has single handedly restored my faith in android. i was browsing imdb while watching hd tv shows with no lag what so ever
I have verizon as an isp. Well, I bought a movie and I can't watch it on my tablet. Verizon wants to install silverlight, but it's not compatible with this tablet. Does anyone have any input on this? THanks
What is the movie saved as? .m4v .mkv?
If you have the actual file on your device then it should open with something like BSPlayer. Bsplayer plays every file type that I know of. Free from the Google play store. If you are trying to stream from online and it is asking for a desktop windows plugin that is not available on android then I am afraid I do not know how you can play it.
Where did you buy the movie from?
You can watch movies from a number of places. The easiest is to purchase the movie from the Play Store then it will show up on your "Play Movies and . . " app. Then you can stream it over wifi or download it and watch it offline later.
Give us a bit more info and I'm sure we can figure it out.
Dice Player ftw. It has gone free, has hardware-decoding ability, nice interface and is good to battery, has gesture control.
(I like vPlayer for its gallery features, but the last time I actually used it, it didn't play as many files as Dice does -- I just browse to them with Total Commander and set Dice as the default app to open the respective file extension with -- tadaah!)
EDIT: I have lots of local files to play, so I didn't get into the streaming part others already pointed out -- I don't have enough experience with it.

Where did you get the movie? Sounds like you're trying to watch it through a web browser. My guess, you got it through some Verizon VOD service.
I bought it from the verizon site.

you have the option to either stream it, or download it. It would not let me download it because of drm problems. I'm running cleanrom 2.2. My wife has a stock tf300 tablet, not rooted, and she can play it on hers
I bought it from the verizon store,(vod).It's a drm problem. Like I said, my wife can play it on her tablet. Thanks for the input
Last weekend i ripped a few movies and TV shows off blu-rays and threw them on an SD card so that i could watch them on my S4. Today i was browsing the web version of google play, when I noticed a selection of my ripped videos had shown up in the "My movies and TV" tab. On any device i can watch these videos as if i had purchased them from the Play store. I can find no reference to this feature anywhere. has anyone else encountered this or am i simply going crazy? If so how did it happen as i can't seem to get this to happen again.

Well it's certainly not a "problem" more like an accidental feature i can find no record of existing.

I suppose but it freaked me out as it appears I could throw any media (for example a pirated TV show) on my SD card and it would be instantly legitimized into google play. This seems like it would be a huge deal yet i find no reference to it and it can't be a bug as it functions like a feature. It leaves me very confused. Especially since nobody seems to be aware of it's existence.

see.thats the problem.though it was a short period.but it ruined ur privacy.
so do report to google.
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 .

A few my best:
1. Filesmaster.
2. My Passwords.
3. Video Player S2.
I do not talk about watch faces, there are millions of them in app store
1. bike counter
2. filesmaster
3. ebook reader
Watching a video on the watch should not be done... your phone is your friend there. Too small in my opinion.
I think id be happier if it had podcast app!
Also a tide widget or watch face

There is a tides app called TideChart. It does not have a widget and requires a companion app on the phone but it is useful and has some nice features.
