Hi all!
I have a problem in Resurrection Remix rom - 4.4.2 (kitkat).
I don't use default browser, because I don't like it and I deleted it before flashing.
Currently I am using Next Browser.
To the point - In every previous rom I used, when I clicked on the video the browser gave me a possibility to open it by MX PLAYER and now when I tap on the video it opens this video in the browser (I think it's some kind of media player build in browser).
But what's the problem? Movies don't work in browser somehow and I want to get back to the option with mx player.
What I tried by now?
-Different browser (Boat Browser) -- the same result
-Searching in options of browser and rom -- found nothing
I don't want to reflash rom because I need everything for now...
I would be very grateful for any answer what to do
Thanks!

Not sure about your custom rom but if you goto "system setting/apps" then select "all" then look for the default media player (not sure what it'll be called) click on it and look for where it says Launch By Default select "clear default" then after play the video again and this time you'll get a pop up to select which media player you want to use, see if that works.

I went to settings -> apps, but I don't know where I am supposed to look for the default media player...
I tried to clean/restore default settings of Next Browser and MX player, but it did nothing...

UP, plz guys...
Use "Bairu browser" free in market, once installed goto options then swipe options panel left and you will see more options then select "settings" and download the "T5 Engine" (it's about 8MB) then in settlings you will see an option to run "HTML5 video first" select it and it will play videos in 3rd party media player. It works because I've used it to stream YouTube videos on custom media player. good luck.

Thanks for taking your personal time to figure it out.
thanks for aur quick reply, i didnt usualy go into detail on my tytnII i try not to touch settings i dont know but thanks for quick reply.
The stock video player is set as my default for the web browser. If I want to change it to Doubletwist for example, where do I make that change?
You can clear defaults for most apps within Manage Applications, but of course the stock video player and browser aren't listed there.
I've looked through all the "Settings" in the browser itself too. (Where it makes the most sense to keep that option!)
Help! thanks
The basic Google Video Player app seems to be hidden on my Bionic (just bought it used, but did a master reset). It's not in the list of "all apps", it's not on any of my home pages. I can see it in "Manage Applications", and if I use the file browser to get to a video file and open it, it gives me the option to open it in the Video Player. But there is no way I see to get it on a homepage or open the app without first using a file browser.
Did Motorola do this to discourage it's use? Is it not missing for other people? I generally use Mobo, but there are times with the simple Video Player app is useful.
Any ideas?
How about this

Stock player kind of sucks anyways, Ive been using MX Video player, seems to work well.
its not an app that you can see in the app drawer. it only shows up when you select a video. i would recomend a different video player any way. arc player is really good.
I find Mobo is a great video app and mostly use that, but I do find the stock player useful at times and I don't like that any app at all is restricted to me. Fine if Motorola doesn't want to put it on a home screen, but why prevent me from doing so??! The app still gets used, why stop me from putting a link to it???!!!!
Just makes little sense. Restriction with no good purpose.
you can usually find your video in gallery and video player will open from there also
Open your browser (stock or chrome) from your android phone / tablet
Open any website that contains a video (live doesn't work)
Long press the video player box on the browser page (normally a black box with play icon)
You will see a pop up menu Open, Open in a new window etc.
Press Open in a new window
It will give you an option to choose your media player (I choose avia media plyer)
then cast to Chromecast
Tried this website einthusan com
Let me know if you find any other website
Some of you may know this trick already but thought of sharing this with everyone.
Hmm, did a good job of crashing my Android tablet.
Hi Folks,
Does anyone know?
In Settings > Apps there's no default video player displayed. In Settings > Apps > Configure Apps there's no "video app"... There's configuration for Home App (Launcher), Browser, Phone, SMS, Camera, Gallery, Music and Mail. No video?
The stock video player is pretty lame so I'd like to use something decent like MX, VLC?
Thanks in advance

Settings - Apps - 3 button menu-- Reset app preferences .
It basically removes all the defaults . And next time you watch a video ,, it will ask you which player to use.

Thanks for the reply, but nope it doesn't work - it still loads up the default video player? I can't believe Oneplus doesn't give you the option of choosing the video player... I should add this is only in browser streaming.

To my knowledge, in Browser streaming, the browser-built-in player is used and not the player that comes with your ROM. I may be wrong, though.

I figured out what the problem is and it was really quite a simple one which I've spent hours on...
On my old HTC M7s I have Dolphin as my main browser... I've also got the Jetpack add-on installed that includes a media player which plays flash. It's this player that is loading up for the majority of videos I view on that phone... What has me a little stumped is that it also loads up in Chrome too. I downloaded Firefox to the M7 today and it didn't load videos in the media player - it played them in Firefox's native media player. It was the same process as the Oneplus 3 so it got me thinking.
I think if the media player hadn't loaded in Chrome as well it would have been a lot quicker to work out that this was a "Dolphin only" add-on perk.
Sadly the Jetpack isn't supported in Nougat.
It's not a big deal but we've no choice (as fair as I know) but to watch any videos in the normal browsers' players... Which don't have the on-screen brightness / sound / video search capabilities like you see on the stand alone players like VLC and MX Player.
If anyone has any other ideas :good:
FYI: I've tried Puffin and Photon.
Just a shame browser vendors don't give you the option to view web videos in an alternative app as default. Firefox is really the only browser that sort of half offers that option.
Not sure if this might work, but you can try an app called better open with. You can set defaults for certain type of file types like video stream, audio stream, PDF, etc. Either way, better open with is a better alternative than the stock defualts dialog.
