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.

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 have a persistent problem that I can't figure out how to avoid ...
Problem #1
Whenever my Galaxy Note-3 makes a connection to Gear via bluetooth, it triggers Samsung "Music" to start. However, Music crashes at that instant, with an error message, "Unfortunately, Music has stopped".
Problem #2
Media Controller on Gear works on any music app other than Samsung Music. It works on Google Play Music and PowerAmp. However, that is limited to working properly on following commands: Play/Pause, Skip forward, Skip backward. But - if I attempt to control the volume up/down, then it fails. At this point, I see that Samsung Music has restarted on Note-3 with the same error message.
Note:
I have a stock Note-3. The Gear is also stock, with latest update (MK7).
I don't use Samsung Music. I notice that I can't uninstall it, nor can I disable it. Whenever I force it to stop (Applications setting), then it reactivates at the time of either above two problem events.
HELP PLEASE !
============== UPDATE
-> SOLVED: see page 2 below.
Can anyone confirm (unlike my experience):
1) Does Samsung "Music" work?
2) Does Gear's Media Control allow volume to be controlled up/down?
Honestly. My best advice is just to uninstall (or freeze in titanium) Samsung music player.

I wish I could but I can't.
I have a stock rom and want to continue with it. As such, native apps like Music can't be uninstalled.
The Application Manager doesn't offer "disable" for this one app.
I love stock too I couldn't find the option to stop the stock music player doing anything, so that was my only option :/
Root doesn't mean custom rom. Like I said it's pretty easy to root your phone, and stay stock (like me). Root just means you have more privalidges with the file system (essentially).
It's an option if no one else can offer anything better!

That is good news then. If I could ask you something, before I begin the root process ...
If I root my phone:
- do I have to reinstall all my apps?
- do all loose all my settings (emails accounts, etc)?
How do I root the phone?
Go to the Note 3 section on xda. They'll probably have a sticky explaining the best way

I had a similar issue with my S4. Samsung music stayed persistant in my notifications bar running in the background. It was also on my lockscreen as a widget. I was able to go into settings/app manager and Turn Off the app. I did a reboot of the phone and all is well. I have since gone back in and turned the app back on and it does not repeat the errant behavior.
It's really weird that whenever you connect your phone to the Gear it starts the Music app, mine hasn't done that ... yet. However, as far as controlling music, mine has worked perfectly fine with Google Music (or Play Music or whatever it's called now). Also, volume up and down should work, however, the first time after you connect your Gear, if you try turning up the volume on the phone, an alert will pop up saying something like "Are you sure you want to increase volume? Loud music can be damaging" (forgive my inaccuracy), you have to press OK on the phone first, then it will work fine. It's really irritating, but better than nothing.
I hope that made sense?
Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions.
What I have deduced is:
- Samsung Music consists of two modules, but the user is aware of only one. The front end is what the user interacts with; it is essentially a file manager. The back end is the audio processor. In my case, there is a disconnect between the two. I can enter the front end and see the list of song files, but I can not play any song which is because the back end is not able to be accessed.
- There is evidence of disconnect between front end and back end. In the front end, I can enter [Settings ^ Play speed]; what I should see is a sliding scale from 0.5x to 2.0x. In my case, the labels are missing when moving the slide bar, and the slide bar does not remember my change rather it remains at 10% setting. I suspect the speed setting is stored in the back end, for which the front end (in settings) can not access the variable's parameter, nor can it later update the value.
- The back end program of Music does work for me. This is proven by selecting a song file in "My Files" explorer, then choosing "Sound player" from the context menu. For me, the song file then successfully plays. I suspect the player is the back end of Music because the icon in the context menu is the same (blue triangle with green music note).
- When Gear is making a connection with Note, it asks Note for the name of default media player. This causes Note to open momentarily the Samsung Music player in silent mode. Note then closes Music as experienced by most users, but in my case Music stays open because of a bug on my system/configuration.
Why is this happening?
- Some writers elsewhere wrote about the interconnection between many Samsung apps because of their interdependence on TouchWiz. Perhaps Music is one such program. Maybe something (other app or my configuration) has triggered Music to break for me.
- At this point I am left suspecting another user app has caused Samsung Music to break between the front and back end. Note, this problem has only arisen in the past month, but in that time I have installed a few more apps and the previous apps have auto-updated themselves. So, I am now left to uninstalling them and testing their effect.
Problem SOLVED
Alas - Problem SOLVED.
It is frequently suggested that Music Player can be repaired by flushing the cache in "Music". In my case, this never solved my problem.
However, today I discovered another cache that can also contribute to the problem, and thus offer a solution.
The following worked for me ...
Step 1
- Settings ^ Application Manager
- App = "Media Storage"
- Action = "Clear data"
Step 2
- Samsung Music
- All song files are removed.
Step 3
- Scan Media
Step 4
- Samsung Music
- All song files are relisted.
- All song files now play. YEAH
Hi,
I have a problem. Some kind of videos from internet just dont play. Some play like 1 sec and then stops. Other kind of videos just play well. This happens in facebook browser, chrome and also one cinema app that i have installed. Tried to install firefox and the videos play well.
This happens in an xperia z3c D5803 lollipop 23.1.A.1.28 with xpoded.
Can anyone help me figure out whats the problem and how to fix it. It's a little bit anoying to wait to get in the pc to see some videos.
PS: Already tried to disable all xposed modules and the problem still there.

See if it helps to disable "Use NuPlayer (exp.)" in developer options, I noticed it's enabled by default in Lollipop but since it's experimental, maybe it can cause issues?
i have that option disabled. just enabled and the videos in the cinema app just are working fine. the ones in the FB browser and Chrome still stops. (i just figured that in Chrome if i ask the pc page, the videos work fine).
You could try UC Browser, in my experience it has the widest support for webvideos and the player it uses is quite advanced, too.
I know that I have alternatives. I am just trying to figure out what is the problem to try to solve it. Cause in other phones I don't face this problem

Kind XDA users,
I figured out a way to stream YouTube using a Note 4 on Android version 4.4.4 while the screen is off.
Also tried this on S6 and different phones on v5.0+.
Sadly it does not work on these models / versions.
Please note I use the default browser, I have no clue or it would work using a different browser. Tried to search or it was posted before, could not find it, thought I should share it, so here you go:
1. ) Find a YouTube video and launch fullscreen (from stock browser).
2.) Drag your status bar all the way down while the video plays fullscreen.
3.) Press the power button, screen should turn off but the audio keeps playing.
Edit: It seems that when you create a floating window and launch a fullscreen video in it, then unfocus the window (by for example tapping the homescreen) and powering off the device: results in the same thing.
Perhaps this way it would work on 4.4.4+ not sure, can not test at this moment.
Kind regards, Stefan.
I just tried the second trick with note 4 and it didn't work
Guys, for this feature search for OGYoutube.
Every time I take out my Galaxy Buds Live and put them in, my S21 ultra automatically launches YouTube Music. Then i inadvertently tap the bud while I'm adjusting and it starts playing music. I don't want this and would prefer to disable the auto launch. I've checked in the settings for Galaxy Wearable and YouTube Music and don't see it. Anyone know how to stop this?
Youtube Music > settings > Allow external devices to start playback
disable that, should be good.

For now I've uninstalled and reinstalled YT Music and it seems better so far. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

Go into Wearables and check settings there*.
Maybe app permissions for Utube.
Lol, I keep that app disabled.
I use Poweramp which will do the same but it can be disabled in it's many settings.
Very annoying when you don't want it...
* if nothing else works you can disable the Buds touch controls in Wearables... the full nuke option
