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.

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] HTC Sensation XE ViperS 5.1.0 Video Highlights

I'm not sure if it's just me or is everyone else who is using the 5.1.0 rom also getting the message "unable to create video because there is a problem with the original media files" when trying to play the video highlights.
My videos are 1080p mp4 and the video highlights work on my HTC One (m7).

I've tried methods suggested in other threads but it does not fix the problem. I think they only apply to android verison 4.2.2 (ViperS rom is android 4.1.2).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308665
I've also tried modifying the ZeroEditing.apk file so that only the available musics in video highlights would recreate if I changed the music folder to another name i.e. "musicold".
Therefore the new music folder would only generate:
music_avalon.mp3
music_burbia.mp3
music_eifel.mp3
music_islandia.mp3
music_polaris.mp3
music_vega.mp3
This method did not solve the problem and I'm running out of ideas....HELP!

ViperS 5.1.0 rom

It works for me for videos only shot in low def, like videos shot in or below QHD (960x540) and bout 8Mbs bitrate.
It starts with 1080p of highest bitrate for me but freezes once it gets to bout 1 - 2 seconds into it if I'm lucky.
I think our CPU or GPU can't handel this part of the software as it probably relys on the hardware and it fails.

Oh, I forgot to mention that lower quality videos from downloaded sources are a hit or miss. Photo highlights works perfectly.
I get the same symptoms as you, 1 or 2 sec then it freezes. Ocassionally I get the error message but it's not consistant.
If we can get a couple more user to testify that they can't run it as well then I'm sold that the hardware is not powerful enough. In the mean time I'm continuing to do tests to see if I can find a solution.

[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

Screen is dim and dark when watching HDR content on Netflix or Prime

Hi guys!
Is it me or watching Netflix and Prime HDR content on Find x2 pro is disappointing? I've watched Bird Box on Netflix and The Boys Season 2 on Prime video, and it's really dark and dim. Am I missing something?

Hi,
Amazon Prime does not even play in HDR on mobile devices that I am aware of, it plays in HD only. Tested it with oppo and Samsung galaxy tab s6. Tested on boys season 2
Netflix plays back HDR fine and adjust the brightness automatically. Tested on bird box.
I was about or add screen shot but all Netflix screenshots seem to come back with black screen.
Thanks

Check your widevine level is L1, some devices are reporting L3 so you won't get any HDR. Use an app like DRM info from the play store.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have L1. If I increase brightness it looks better but the whole UI becomes to bright when I check the notifications.

Yeah for some reason HDR videos loses colors/details on lower brightness. I googled it when the phone came out and people suggested having max brightness when watching any HDR enabled content. OnePlus 8 Pro has the same issue.

Thanks! At least I know it's normal then.

Here is a 4K HDR clip playing back on local network from my emby server.

Wanbo T6R Max can't get HDR

I just got T6R Max today and the built-in apps (Netflix, Prime, etc.) are showing way too bad image quality. I connected it to my pc and made some comparisons and pc was way better. However, still I don't think I am getting HDR image and it actually looks horrible.
It says SDR at the top left. There is an option called HDMI 2.0 and there are ''On'' ''Off'' ''Auto'' options. Can somebody explain what this option is for? My HDMI cable is KabelDirekt HDMI 2.0 18Gbit/s.
I don't know if it's supposed to show it but I can see ''No HDR'' in windows as well.
Here, I tried to show the difference. The first one is my PC monitor. The second one is T6R Max. You can see there is no detail whatsoever in the second photo. Darks are so dark. The colors are idk what to say... I tried to tweak the image a bit with the projection's options but it won't help.

I just downloaded an HDR film and put it in a usb. Tried to open it that way directly in the projector's OS. The difference is big. It is way better than what I am getting from my pc. However, I am still not sure If I am getting HDR10 content. I am a bit lost here.
1- How can I see If it is really showing HDR10?
2- Why can't I get HDR from my PC?
Edit - Day 2:
I bought Amazon Fire Sticks 4k Max today. There are good display options in that. Finally, I can see HDR text when I open it at the top left corner. However, the problem with blacks and colors is still there. So this is my conclusion: I think even though the projector supports HDR, its brightness (550 ANSI lumen) is not enough for HDR content. That is why there are no details in blacks and colors are not there. I chose adaptive HDR in the display setting and with a little bit of tweak I can see more now. There is an image quality loss, however.
But I think this is what you get with this price range I guess. If there is a way that I can improve the quality please let me know.
