I have a problem with facebook app for android since I recently updated it to the latest version which is version 6.0.0.28.28
My problem was whenever I play a video a video, the video will be played by facebook built in video player. Supposedly before update, I was able to choose a 3rd party video player to play it. I always choose MX Player to play facebook videos because there's a lot of options to choose like H/W or S/W and video scaling.
Is there a work around to disable facebook built in video player.? I have tried to clear defaults but still doesn't work.
If anyone here has a copy of the facebook apk version 4.0.0.26.3 I would like to ask a copy of it. I think this is not a violation for warez because facebook is free to download in play store. I just needed that specific version because that works perfectly on my phone.
Is there a way or an app that can automatically backup an app in android before updating.? Hope you'll share your ideas here.
Thanks for taking time to read this.
Use facebook 8.0.0.0.23 dev version. It is not only the latest version but also supports the feature you said.
Use ES File Explorer to back up apps manually before upgrading.
I have uploaded app called System Optimizer apk that can backup apps before updating but it comes with its own market.
Good Luck!

Use klyph pro it is best, or simply use facebook in firefox browser(download from playstore) I ue only in firefox browser and it has some extra features than facebook apps
i recently uploaded my personal videos on NQ Vault mobile app, which stores such data safely. But when I later
tried playing the video from the app, I couldn't . I believe the video has been or is deleted but not by me. The size of the video just showed 0 MB.
Does this mean I have been hacked and if so do they have my video?

You should get in touch with the developers of the app to see if it has just been lost in their servers! Also, if you backed up your videos to the cloud (Which is a feature of the app), they may be accessible from another device. Try logging in to your account on another device (if you have one). If you dont, your best option is to contact the makers of the app! :good:
@[email protected] I hope you get your files back!

I don't know how this new offline youtube feature works. But you can always sideload TubeMate.
Actually the download icon lets us to save *allowed* videos for offline viewing from official YouTube app.
Update: This is the path and format of several such chunks of files.

Can anyone create app to convert these files as avi or mp4 please? Or suggest methods.

Yes tubemate and utubedownloader apps all works but my question is especially for official app. How to crack it?
Can anyone decompile YouTube apk and write the output stream to h263 mp3/avi/mp4? Please see OP for link.

As for as a source -
"1-- Google is using EXO file format to save videos. This is apparently a file format used for system files and while we managed to copy these EXO files onto a computer, it can be apparently played only through the YouTube Android app.
2-- When you request a download for an offline video in the YouTube app, the video is downloaded in chunks. For example, a 3-minute file we downloaded was saved in five parts. It is possible that only the YouTube app for Android can make sense of these chunks and join them together.
3-- We also feel there is real-time encryption going on here. When the video is downloaded, not only it is broken into parts but is also converted to EXO format, compressed and encrypted in real time. This has several benefits, the one obvious benefit is that people can't copy-paste the video and share it indiscriminately. The compression, meanwhile, saves space on the disk. For example, the 3-minute long video that we downloaded actually consumed around 40MB data. But when stored on the phone, the video took only around 25mb space.
4-- When a user plays the video, it is decrypted in real time. It is possible that only YouTube's app can do this decryption.
5- If you share the offline video using Bluetooth, instead of the actual file, a web link to the video is sent to the recipient."
My idea is not to break head in YouTube encryption and decryption.
Will it be possible to use YouTube app itself to decrypt and write the output stream as mp4/avi video using ffmpeg codec?
We would require to decompile YouTube apk. The reason for this question is, YouTube is default app in almost all Android phones. There is good market out there.

Great news friend. Now it was not mentioned in the app itself. Cheaters google. Should we read terms and conditions for each change log?
I got disappointed after the video disappear.

The YouTube app can play those files. so if you could rebuild the YouTube app itself to play and convert we can do it. Pardon me if I'm being dump.

It's an android only thing it seems, not a YouTube only thing.
There are other android apps (subscription services) that save the files in exo format & they are all real paranoid about piracy, hence the use of encrypted exo.
If many apps use the file format, then someone might be able to come up with a media player capable of playing those.
bro we can create an decrypting app
That World be very great !
Couse i searched much of Tracks in Beatport and Traxsource to pay for them.
But the Most Tracks i only find in YouTube. Couse im doing sometimes Dj Set's for Radio the GEMA and Licens will be payed Form Fm4 so i dont need to pay for the Tracks since i didnt Play them in a Club or something.
Please write if their is an converter for exo Files to mp3 ....

Good morning, So i recently converted a bunch of my DVD's to version that plays on my SG4 phone. I moved them to my SDK card and put them in a file labeled movies. So I can watch them no problem, but when I go into my gallery and under the movies folder, it just shows a bunch of videos I can play without showing movie titles.
Is there a way to have them show up in the google movies app or somewhere else that will label them? Should I move them somewhere else?
You can imagine I have to play each movie to figure out what it is
Hope my question makes sense
thank you
This is the Way Gallery has been designed on Stock Firmware to provide a showcase. You may wish to use other applications that would provide a Listing. ES File Explorer [APP][2.0+][20130531]Top 1 File Manager on Google Play, ES File Explorer 3.0 Released Does come to mind.

Thank you for the response. I checked out that program and it looks good, except I was hoping not to change everything to a third party app. Is there something that I could use that would just contain my movies?
I am trying to download a video that can only be streamed through a specific app.
I believe the video must be downloaded in any form like cache or something, so I am trying to locate it and copy to somewhere else before it gets deleted.
However I cannot find the file I am looking for.
I have searched following folders while playing the video:
/data/data/[app] - could not find anything useful, only few MBs total (the video is 20 minutes long)
/data/media/0/android/data/[app]/cache - only few files, few KBs
/data/app/[app] - nothing but base.apk and lib folder
/sdcard - all folders here are irrelevant to the app
So where else could it be?
Am I wrong from the first place? Can it stream without saving on local device at all?
Thank you in advance.
Yes it will always atreme without saving any data on local device. If video were to be played like that there would never be a saperate option to download them.
i can do any thing except damaging your device. GOD DOES NOT DO THAT

Ah.. right that is kind of disappointing thanks for your reply I guess I would need to record
You can use uc brouser to grab video while playing it. Just tap on the grab option to do so while playing any video

THanks for your reply. However the video I am trying to download can only be accessed by a certain app and it can only be streamed. Downloading through web browser won't work.
Use youtube downloader on pc. Or any video downloader for android. They can fetch those videos not grabbed by uc and other brousers
