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

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.

I got the camera working too, but I will use stock CM camera for taking images.
I got it working fine on CM7.2. All the social stuff, the camera and anything else.
Hi,
I'm using an official nightlies 20120614.
So, I'd like to upload a video to my YouTube account.
What I tried is to make a long push on my file (in ES Explorer), then choose "Send" , then Youtube... and nothing happen.
I clear YouTube Data in settings, then tried again... no more results.
I also opened directly the YouTube app, connected to my account, and "Send", then choose my video ... but nothing happen.
I also open YouTube in the browser, open my account,, then "add a video", then "select files", ... and the upload in force stay at 0%.
If I do the same with my phone Sony xperia S (android 2.3),it's working well, so it's not a problem with my account.
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong?
am I the only one with this problem?
Hello All,
Since a while, whenever I click a video located on a website or even Facebook app I am redirected to youtube http website, when i click the video it is downloaded to my device and then i can watch it on the device media player.
What I used to was whenever i click on a video the YouTube app runs automatically and plays the video but i am not sure how to restore this, any ideas ?

You need to try clearing the default actions of all your gallery apps or apps you think are related in settings --> apps
You will not lose data if you select 'clear defaults'

Most of the related apps have the "clear defaults" option dimmed :S

Then they don't have default actions set
So it didn't work?

Things used to be fine. Save video to phone. In the notification menu on top of screen after download is done. Tap one to open. It’d open and play. Not anymore. I installed an rar app and archive app. Every time I tap vids to open it would pop up a list of those apps to use. Once or always open. So I uninstalled them. Now it just opens the files app or downloads app. I never had any issue before. How do I fix this? I looked at settings for chrome and it seems ok for how to deal with media. Not sure though.
Thanks.
What file extension is the video?
Which app was launching to play the video when things were working?
In settings>>apps>>default apps is anything shown for video?
Try resetting app preferences in settings>>system>>reset app preferences
Thanks. They’re mp4. I don’t know. The default video app on the pixel 4 xl was used but I don’t know. Reset app prefs is a good first step. Didn’t think of that. Hmm.
