Playing videos from news apps CBS MSNBC - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have CBS and MSNBC news apps installed. I get a message saying "cannot play this video" when trying to open any video from either app. I don't know what the formats are for these videos or what internal player is trying to open these videos. I have numerous video players installed on my phone and everything works fine except for these links. Anyone have any ideas where to look? Thanks

I fixed it by making the built in player the default video player and now they work!

Hi every one,
I wanted to know how i can disable/uninstall Atrix CM7.2 Stable Built in Video Player. The built in video player sucks big time and every time i click on youtube video its launches automatically and wont even play the video and close it self down. i have tried freezing gallery app to check but its not it so let me know if any one know which apk or app to uninstall/freeze will stop that little bugger to messing with me
Try cleaning up the video app settings. This could help you by enabling the choose app screen next time you open a video file.

There is no video app in my app drawer. and i have checked all apps using titanium and other app freezing applications.
Doesn't youtube videos use flash or the built in youtube app? Could it be that the current version of flash you have installed is what's causing the problem? Try downgrading or upgrading perhaps?
If you're having problems playing video files (.avi, .mkv, etc.) try using MX Player from playstore.
i have all those apps but thing is built in app wont let them play the content, it comes first auto and wont even play a dam thing
Google flash player APK 10.3. I don't have any YouTube problems (yet).

No issues at all with stock vid player other than it still cant play .MOV forcing me to use other players for those.
I download tons of HD vids to my phone.
most of this issue with mine is with mp4s. weird.
