Im having issues with the video player app that comes on the Note 4. The videos on the app plays like normal. The problem is that the controls don't appear when you touch the screen to pause or skip video, change screen sizes, forward or rewind video or anything like that. All it does is play videos and that's it. Please help

You mean after you start playing a video...when you touch the screen to bring up the controls...it doesn't do anything? Have you tried clearing the Data/Cache in Application Manager?

Hi there,
I want t o be able to play a youtube video and browse the internet at the same time. But every time I leave youtube either through the application or through the browser it stops working.
I tried through FireFox mobile but no dice even using an extension called phony.
and help?
Also I managed to use an MP3 as my incoming call ring-tone.
Is it possible to do the same for the incoming messages?
I guess that's a "problem" of the youtube app which stops playing as it is minimized.
either that or android just needs the Ram for surfing
you could use ringdroid
Could it be im using it wrong?
Because it works with the music player which comes with the phone..
I press the home botten long it brings the multi tasker up and i choose something else like the internet and just stops playing.. It dos not close the app it just stops the video.
Thx for the app by the way.

Video uses a LOT more resource then audio does so it makes sense that the music player would continue while the video player would not. Also I know that app developers went out of their way to enable music to remain playing in the background of other apps. Video? Not so much.
I tested it on my own phone. When I switch to a different app, the YouTube app pauses and loses signal. When I return to it, it has to search for the video again.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070. Off late if I try playing videos one after the other the screen starts to flicker. The first video plays fine, flickering starts when i play the second video, then I have to bring up Task Manager and clear the memory. This happens only while playing videos, I tried the VLC player also but result is the same. 90% of system resources are free so it can’t be a lack of system resources that’s causing this. Is it a hardware issue, I re installed the stock ROM but even then same result.
I have this problem too but it seldom happens.

In my case ti happens every time I play a video, no exceptions.
Which player are you using to view the videos?
People say I'm crazy, but the voices in my head say I'm just fine.

i get this problem upon "ROTATION" (ie, orientation change) while playing videos in the youtube app, or playing html5 videos in the default browser app
Hello xda, I found a way to play YouTube videos while screen is off (Only sound) and also to play them in the background (e.g. browsing on chrome while play a song on the Youtube app).
This can be made by using HALO (From Paranoid), and NOVA launcher (Not tested wih others, sorry)
I TESTED WITH:
Rom- Paranoid Android 3.98, 3.99
HALO Version- 2.0
Launcher- Nova Launcher Prime v2.0.2
Youtube - v5
here´s how to:
-First, you need to "stick" your launcher to HALO by using the app "HALO)))",
-Now, whenever you want to play the video on background or screen off, you need to launch your launcher using HALO while the video is playing
-That's it, now you are able to launch any app and the video will still playing, or you can simply lock the phone and it'll keep on.
This method can be used with other video apps and may work (Such as MX player) or may not (Netflix quit the video), you'll have to test this with your favourite one.
BUGS:
There are some bugs by using this method, I could find these 2:
-If you're playing a video on the background and try to make a phonecall, you'll hear the audio of the video over the call speaker, and sometimes after you hang up the phone, the whole system and apps sounds will be played by this speaker until you reboot the phone.
-a friend of mine tried this method using dodol launcher and, besides it didn't work, the launcher got bugged and had to Force stop to fix it.
P.S- Please tell me if you got this working with other Launchers and video players, so I can add them on the 1st post
P.S.2-
Thank you for your time and have fun!
Or you can just install showtime YouTube player.

How can I prevent the camera application from interrupting music playback? I can't record videos while continuing to stream audio over AUX or BT.
Using camera while streaming music will work for taking photos, BUT to record videos, they assume you want to record sound with your video, so that's why the streaming stops. You can always play music from an external source when making your music videos.

I know I can play from an external source but that would defeat the point of keeping everything on my phone- Lets say I'm having a small party and I'm streaming music from my phone over BT and then decided I want record a video, obviously I'm not going to want the music turning off for the whole party because I decided to record a video. Or another example, my little nieces & nephews were over this past weekend and were dancing to music I was playing from my phone over BT and since I have a Note 4 & always is the best camera in the room for recording videos, I'm asked to record with my phone. If they are dancing to music playing over my phone and then I record a video of them & its turns off the music, which I also want in the video, then it makes the video pointless.
I would find it extremely strange if there isn't a 3rd party app to allow this, a setting to adjust, a work-around or a Wanam xposed option to allow this.
I can't be the ONLY one with this issue lol

i guess no one else has tried to record a video while using their phone as a music player. we must be the crazy ones -_- ...seeing as that no one else was going to be of any help, had to resolve this one myself. i remember i used poweramp exclusively back in the day on my cyanogenmod g2 because compared to the stock music player it had a better interface, a ton more feautures & settings, better eq, better file mgmt, better interface & music actually played better through this app (with eq mods). I stopped using it when i got the first galaxy s as it had a bug like many things had a bug on that phone.
i just download the latest Version of Poweramp & I am blown away- it has come a long way and in my few minutes using it, I already love it again and will be using it as my primary music player. And it fixed my problem, I'm able to taking pictures & videos now without interrupting music playback. (setting for it)
any updates on this?
I to have the same issue where my kids are dancing to music I'm streaming and would love to video them doing they're crazy moves to the music.
Best bet is have the dev who rom you are using mod the camera ? apk and you are good. Every rom is different. Also someone did this already you just gotta look.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Usually when I click on a video, it opens up and plays and if I tap on it again, I get the option to pause or move the progress slider to rewind or fast forward.. but on my new AT&T S6 on stock 5.1.1, nothing happens when I tap on a playing video... I can't even pause or replay anything.. anyone know what gives and/or how to fix? Surely I can't be the only one experiencing this...
