Received my Pro 7 just over a week ago. However some video content won't display in landscape mode. I first noticed the issue when playing youtube videos from the links in the Google news feed screen. If i turn the embedded video to landscape, it just throws a wobbler and goes black. Then I noticed it on 2 of my CCTV apps. Reolink and Camhi. Again if i switch the live feed, or the recorded clips into landscape, they go crazy. Reolink disconnects the camera feed and reverts back to portrait, and the Camhi just switches back to portrait. Very strange. Ive not found anything online that seems to cover this issues, so was wondering how others get on.
Cheers

Before i switched to the s6 I was using an iphone 5s.
I usually watch videos on chrome while laying on the bed so on my iphone i rotate the video to landscape and watch while the phone is portrait.
Using the s6 was a bit different i had to use the phone 180 degrees so that the auto rotation wont disturb the video while watching it landcape on portrait.
Any fixes for this?
Info
What is exactly ur problem?
you wanna rotate everything + video player?
Or just video player?
you can switch off auto-rotate
Or you install 3rd Party Launcher like Apex/Nova that support rotation
it means whole home pages will rotate
:good:
Hi,
I am using several apps where video's are posted like news videos. For instance NOS is a populair newsfeed app with videos in it. When viewing those videos they are played normal with the Samsung s6 Edge portraid stand. This is only a small part of the screen while the videos can be played on a pc for instalnce full screen.
So i turn the phone landscape and assume the the video will go landscape and full screen to but that isn;t the case it has never done that. The video keeps playing a small part of the screen.
The setting in Android is to turn the screen when the phone is turned so when holding the phone landscape the screen is also landscape. When i choose the camera and set it oin video that videoscreen is landscape so that is working good, but not within apps.
Does anyone now how to solve this..?

Videos that play in apps will only play the way the app wants them too. Some apps simply don't allow video rotation.
Ok thx. I had to know that myself....
I have the G955U version of the S8 Plus. Most apps that I use will occasionally refresh while I am using them clearing any progress that I may have had. These refreshes will normally happen in pairs as well, happening about 30sec to a minute apart. The most noticeable refreshes happen on Snapchat, Youtube, and Twitch apps.
So for example, in Snapchat if I take a picture and put a caption, etc. it will refresh and I will be taken back to the picture taking screen forcing me to retake a picture. On youtube, I will be watching a video and the video will reload and start where it left off and then it will do it again about 30 seconds later however this time, the video will be black and I can still hear audio. I normally fix this issue by going to the next video and then going back to the original video. Twitch will just reload the stream and chat. It seems as though this will happen on most apps, including games and messenger apps. But I haven't had it happen on browsers yet.
Any ideas?

In this thread they suggest it's a network issue. So far, with airplane mode on, i've had no screen refresh issues.
Hi
I have been spending all day trying to troubleshoot this problem. On my BLu G9 (rooted), I have battled the occasional glitch where videos would stop playing. A simple restart would take care of it. Now, suddenly it has become a green screen. I hear the audio. But no video.
In VLC, I disabled Hardware Acceleration and videos work fine. I tried that in Chrome, and Youtube works. But nothing else. Twitter videos and GIFs show green. I also use Youtube Vanced and its green as well. So this is a global problem. And I see no way to disable HA across the entire phone like you can on a PC.
Anyone have any ideas?

I'm looking at a strange problem that arose suddenly -- I'm not sure when since I had not run any of the affected apps on the tablet recently. When I run HBO Max -- which of course switches to landscape mode before actually running a video -- I end up only with a black screen overlaid with the stop/start/forward/back controls, etc. The horizontal (selection) part of the app is fine. I have tried obvious things like changing settings, wiping data, uninstalling and reinstalling. At some point this was all working such fine.
However, this is not the only app behaving in a similar manner. Both Sling and Criterion are doing much the same on this Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite. In their cases, I do get the video on portrait mode, and lose it in landscape mode. On Sling, I DO see the video in landscape mode momentarily when I select forward or back, or while seeking.
A lot of other apps like YouTube, Pluto, and a whole bunch of others are displaying fine in landscape mode. My guess is that this has something to do with DRM for the premium apps, yet Sling and Criterion *are* displaying video OK in portrait mode. Only HBO Max is totally useless since it has no portrait mode display that I'm aware of.
Any ideas? A factory reset of the tablet is really out of the question. Thanks.
