I'm having a problem playing videos from the gallery app.
I can see them in the gallery, but when I click on them I get a message saying "Unable to play video".
If I try to open it from Astro I get "File type <WHATEVER> not found"
However, if I open Rockplayer it works fine. I'm assuming it's because I used TI to delete the stock video player app (thinking rock would just take over), but I can't say for sure.
Has anyone else seen this? If possible can someone link me to the original video player app so I don't have to flash back to stock to get it?
Did you try clearing the defaults in settings?
Unless I am thinking of the wrong thing (settings > applications > manage) I have the following options that sound like they could be applicable (meaning there might be some I'm overlooking):
com.samsung.mobilevideo
com.sec.android.app.videoplayer
rockplayer
none have any defaults set.
is there a way to just globablly reset the defaults?
problem solved
Go to settings, all programs, gallary setting, clear data, force stop if it is currently running, disable the app, wait for few seconds and again enable the app, on first start it will ask default video player select whatever u want and enjoy.
Problem may be the default vedeo player set earlier is uninstalled by u. Thanx
I am having a very similar issue. I record a video. 30 seconds long. I stop recording tap the image of what I recorded, it opens gallery.- I select to play the video. the video opens. I click play and a grey message comes up (unable to Play Video) the standard played just fine. I made no changes to the phone after rooting and installing custom rom. it worked fine. now all the sudden. it will not play videos. (only videos I recorded on the phone) everything else such as web and youtube work fine. this is not the first time I have run into this the only option was to install a retail rom and everything worked great. this is a Samsung galaxy s5 g900v I have spent over thre hours on google and bind searching for a solution and I can tell you..it would seem this is an issue many people are having. I don't like VLC I like the stock player. though I dont know what it is called but I have this Rom (VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9) it has no file browser and no purple video Icon. (thats the one I dont know the name of) and I am not sure what this rom uses to play video. ..so if anyone has a solution please post it. I tried the above and they did not work. I also tried solutions that were offered on other sites to no avail.

Hello
I recently rooted my phone and tried a few roms but found most had glitches.
So after some messing about i went back too stock again (BASE-XXJVO/KERNAL-BOJV8/BUILD NUM-GB.BOJV8) and ever since doing that i have been unable too play certain video files.
I will record a video using default or edited setting and i get the same result when i play the file "Unsupported file type" pop up.
Even if i record 30seconds or 3minutes of footage i get the same result when i try play it,even though i can see it recording.At most i have got a couple of files that have stayed on the phone as normal but most record then just come up with a black box in the gallery.Sometimes the file does not appear at all.
Any ideas as too how too fix this,i did try downloading mx video player and installed codecs but that didnt make a difference.
Thanks calz
Get mobo player from market that should hopefully work for you

Act 1 video player will solve your problems!
Thanks for the replies.I will give them players a go.
I really think there is a problem with the camera firmware/apk or hardware related and would prefer too find a way of fixing that.
But in the mean time if i can at least get the camera working until that point then its worth a try.
Hello everybody,
I have an issue with a friend's Z1.
When someone sends him a YouTube link in Facebook, it does't open with YouTube.
It used to open with a Z1 embedded video player but it couldn't open the video link.
After he reset the app open assignments, the window to choose which program to use to open the link pops up, but there NO YouTube in the list!
YouTube is in the device of course as a ROM internal application (so I cannot remove it to re-add it).
Any ideas?

I don't know if it's possible, but maybe try uninstalling any updates to the Youtube app? Or clear cache/data if you haven't tried yet.
I take it your friend's Z1 is not rooted?
Yes it is not rooted.
I think there is option to uninstall updates. Then reinstall them?
I don't see how cache/data clearing will help though.
When I click a YouTube link in the fb app it asks to open in a browser window. I use chrome. It then pops up asking to use chrome or YouTube app to play the video.
Try clearing the defaults in the browser that's used
When I select Timeshift-Video from the camera options and record a video (no matter to internal or class 10 SD card), it indeed does record a video and the small thumbnail also shows "120f" after saving. But then playback is just like any other regular video, that is, in real time. Hence, no timeshift/slow-motion anywhere. Further, I don't get this -well, how to describe it- settings circle on the screen for playback adjustments I used to see on the Z2.
Phone is stock (BL locked) with FW .98 DE. Anyone experienced the same issue or is that just me? Any hints appreciated.
I have the same problem. I tried internal memory an sd card, its just not working.
Strange...
Try to open the video and then push the edit button.
Normmaly the video editor opens and you can choose the sequence and the speed of the video...

Exactly, that's how it should normally work, but it doesn't on my phone. Also, there's no edit button anywhere, only on photos.
What FW version/build do you have installed? Maybe that's something that got fixed in .105 (I'm on .98)?
23.0.A.2.93 is my version. Same problem mine does not have a edit button. Only star and trashcan buttons are available.
Finally figured it out...
Check for App "Movie Creator" to actually appear twice under Settings-> Apps -> All.
Movie Creator 1.3.A.0.11
Movie Creator 2.0.A.0.10
Now, since I did not want these great automatic movies to get created thereby filling up (if only a bit) my precious storage, I disabled both of them.
That was one too much
(Re-)Enabling the one with the older version alone (Movie Creator 1.3.A.0.11) brings back full functionality of Timeshift Videos.
However, why Sony has tied these together (Timeshift Videos and Movie Creator) is beyond me...
Excellent!
THANKTHANKTHANK THANK I LOVE !! fix it
for me the Movie Creator wont show the 120 fps video and when i am in the video i cant press "edit". it wont show at all
so is there another way to watch those 120 fps in slowmo? on pc? on the device with another videoplayer perhaps?

how did you get these two apps? i have the app installed from Sony and i can start it, but it doesn't apear in the list settings > apps > all i have none of the above.
i tried removing the app and reinstalling it from the playstore, but still no timeshift editting.
how did you do that?
Are you on Android 5? Not sure whether they got renamed since 4.4.4 (which I'm still using). Check System Apps with say Es File Explorer, too.

go in to your 120f video like your going to play it. but instead of tepping the middle of the screen to play it tap underneath it. youll see what looks like a
press that icon. then you can adjust what speed and trim the video
Hi people, I have a question which I am sure may stump you, looked thru some other threads but unable to find anything except the thread on google music id tags. Anyway the problem: Google music does not play any more since I flashed Liquid Smooth Rom v3.2 LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-29. and GAPPS The music starts for a split second then mutes, then comes on again around 30 secs later.When viewing the volume icons in settings the music,video, games & other media is locked to mute with no way to raise it. Also when I try to unlock the phone, it mutes again when playing. The internet did not offer much help and what it did offer I have tried with turning off voice activation for google now. It plays thru Apollo now but did not this afternoon. Went into v4a settings and enabled what I think should be able to get it working even uninstalling the driver and rebooting also downloading the zip file (android forums told me about) and tried to install but super SU told me that "there was another version running with a different signature". I am running nova launcher but went back to liquid launcher to see if any different, still same problem. Drop a line if you may know how to fix it. I am thinking it is something simple but buggered if I know what it may be. I will start to move my music from google cloud back onto my SD card then move it to Apollo player.
Cheers for any help given.

Hi, I have been trying to turn off video autoplay on my galaxy note 8 with no success. The video in the camera/gallery app keeps playing in the auto repeat mode. I checked "video player setting" and found "auto play next" and "auto repeat" are both off. I have tried various methods that I could find on the internet but none of the methods worked. I am desperate. Could anyone help?

Is there anything specific the default video player does and offers you that you need or is it more a convenience thing that you use it, because it's already there? I might suggest trying a different video player. I have never in my life used the default gallery for anything, not photos or videos (I use Quickpic for photos and MXPlayer for videos), and I've been using Samsung devices since the first Note came out. So, I have no idea even how the default gallery is supposed to work or behave.
I don't think it is possible to disable the auto-preview function of a video in the default Gallery app, which comes bundle with Samsung devices. If the sound bothers you you could just mute the sound in the Auto-Preview anyway.
Thank you Max_Terrible and iceepyon. After spending hours trying to solve this issue, maybe I will just have to use the default setting, even though it is not ideal.
