I've had a problem almost since the beginning where video shoot on the N6 plays back very jerky using the default video player in Photos. Never been able to figure out why, but changing the default player to MX or VLC fixes the playback issue... for a time. The problem is that at some point videos I click in Photos stop opening with MX player and go back to the default player. And the video gets jerky again. I have not been able to figure out how to force Photos to actually use the default video app. Any ideas? BTW, Photos doesn't let you "clear defaults" like other apps I don't think. At least that doesn't work for me.
Thanks.

Do we have a video player for android? Its disappointing that there is not ONE decent video player for the Android.
theres a default video player with the phone framework. if you have astro file explorer or similar, you find your video on your sdcard and it will play great in a default player. theres also meridian player. if you update to JacHeroski the HTC video player in that ROM is awesome!
with LukLuk you can stream movies online, i think it will play videos off your sdcard too. I havent tried playing anything off the sdcard yet though...
Cinema has a great interface, Meridian works well also (though one of the last updates it messed with my stock music player when I set it not to be the default for the headset buttons, and it's idea of random music playback is a joke - it makes a single shot randomly sorted playlist - instead of randomly selecting upon skipping tracks).. So, I am sticking with Cinema now.
Every time I play a video file that I didn't record with the camera, the audio is always behind the video and it's really bothersome.

I have a solution
SOLUTION
The best solution I found was to use the VLC Media Player app.
It's still in alpha, but it's the best video player out there. (direct download)
Now there may be times where the video still loses sync with the audio (most of the time when you tap the screen during playback). All you need to do then is to skip to a random point in the video and skip back, or reload the video.
It's a pain, yes. But it's the best we can do for now. Maybe it will get better when the Beta/full version of VLC player is released.
when video is playing it is only 2 or 3 pictures per secund.
It 's to laggy to watch.
Video decoder is not working (properly). That's why all videos lag.
It's said in the first or second post-I don't remember exactly- that video decoder doesn't work.This also means that you can't play videos you import in your phone (in the sd card for example) as well.I think.
Same happens to me

I was actually answering Vicky26 on importing video to sd card...mobo works fine there....for streaming if you somehow get the streaming link, there is an option in menu of the player for streaming. I somehow made it work using default manager, setting streaming default as mobo....copying link url by long pressing video in browser and re-pasting it in the browser.....so when you zoom in...you see two play video icons(arrow), one of them opens the video in mobo
Thanx!I actually switched back to my GingerDX because of some other problems I also had, but I will try this as soon as I install Paul's rom 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
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.
