ok i give up. How can I change the default player to the mx player app??? I have tried for an hour looking for some way.......
You mean so when you open videos it will open mx? It sounds like the stock video player is set as default. Go to settings, find the stock video player in app management (I forget the exact settings) and clear defaults.
ya thats the problem... you cant find the stock player in app management.
Use Titanium backup maybe? Wipe data. Dunno if theres a clear default option.

Or just uninstall the stock player via titanium backup.

Make sure you're looking at all apps, not just downloaded. I think there are separate tabs.
Yep. Looked everywhere...
someone must know the answer to this
?????
I can use Root Explorer, nagivate to a video file, long press it and then selet the Apps tab, check the "Always perform ths elected action for this type of file" and then select MX PLayer. This should set the default for the specific file type.

This is somewhat of a basic question regarding ICS.
I set the default video player to the stock one on ICS accidentally, and I cannot change the default video player to BSPlayer now (which is also installed on my system).
I went to Settings>Apps and tried to look for the stock ICS Video Player but I cannot find it to change the "Launch By Default" selection.
Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.
Never mind. I figured it out. "Gallery" is what the stock ICS video app is called.
I used Default App Manager to figure this out.
Gallery

a year later... i have a similar problem.
I receive *.mov files on my mail - and i also accidentally chose the default Video player for my HTC - ICS.
so now its unable to play the file directly and says "Cannot play video - Sorry this video cannot be played" when i click on the attachment
I have already reset MX player reset to default - and also reset the "Gallery" to default but still the same thing - i still cannot play the video directly after downloading the mov attachment.
appreciate your inputs.
i have a problem with my mp3-player app.
it is not possible for me to show the songs by genre. i also can not add genre information in the built in song editor.
can anyone help me? please!
Did you mean stock mp3 player ? The best way to edit your mp3s is by using windows pc.. But in play store there is an app call Itag.. You can edit whatever info for your mp3s including album art.. But, as i said, the best way to edit your mp3s is by using windows pc. You may get the genre, album art etc corrently, but once you transfer your mp3s to any devices, (aka bluetooth) the mp3 player on that device wont recognize whatever info inside that mp3. So, to get the info stay on your mp3 player, use windows pc.
If you download your mp3 direct form your cell, and you plan to let em stay on your cell, use itag to add info for your mp3
If you transfer your mp3 from your pc to your cell, better edit em before transfer to your cell to avoid your mp3 player wont recognize the info inside your mp3
thank you for your response!
the problem is that i have added all genre information into the id3-tags on windows. when i transfer the songs by mtp to my cell, the tags stay, but the stock mp3 player wont show all of them (he shows only title, artist, cover and year). and so there is no genre view of the songs ...

Did you try to add info using windows media player, winamp or maybe real player.
And did you try itag from play store ?

I just take a look at stock mp3 player.. Didnt mention any about genreoOr do i missing something here. But on stock mp3 player(my music), tab right menu in your cell and tab download music info maybe that would help.

yes, i've tried all of it! and the genre information is written in the with the id-3 tag! but the *** player does not show anything.
Guess the stock mp3 player are design no to show genre seem i cant fine any. 3rd party app should do the job.
i think you are right but the stock one is beautiful! i wanted to keep it.
Yup.. Stock kinda beautiful, but in play store there in a tons of beautiful mp3 player. My 2nd option after stock isuber music, out dated mp3player but still among the best looking player.. Just give it a try

You'll have to make a backup of the .apk in order to see it.
Try using "android assistant" from the play store and make a backup of mx player pro.
Now,using a root file manager,go to "android assistant app backup" folder,copy the .apk of mx player,and move it to system->app
and correct the permissions.
The right permissions are RW-R-R.
AND YOU ARE DONE!
Reboot.
i tried moving the mx player pro to system/app and set permission and rebooted. and still not work

go to settings > applications and find the video player that is defualt, clear the data and select any video then choose your default video player when it popps up.
....from the built in lollipop media player
i'd guess it should be the same as any version of android. just go to app manager select the app and clear defaults. i don't let any of my video players be a default since some are better at certain tasks than others. archos is my go to player though.

ya, you would think. but there is no video player in the app list or anywhere.
Just install another media player and it should clear the default.

You can try to un-check the option in
Settings -> Developer options -> Use NuPlayer
default media player is likely the photos app. Try clearing defaults on that. I am assuming you have another video player installed.
I had the same problem and this was happening on multiple apps. I had no defaults selected for any of these. It kept opening video player from gallery app. Just need to disable this app in settings/apps and it will work as it should with the app picker
Hi Folks,
This is really got me
I've come from a HTC M7 to a Oneplus 3. The in-browser video on the HTC M7 was great - you were able to control brightness, control the sound and search through the video all via screen gestures. Since moving to the OP3 it has a standard video player that has none of those features. You have to use the old school controls of the video menu bar - there's no gesture control.
I've downloaded MX and VLC but they're only good as standalone players - to play stored content.
It loads the same player on both browsers, Chrome and Dolphin... and it loads the same video player on the HTC :good: and the same player on the OP3
I've tried resetting default apps. I've looked in the App settings but I can't work what app it is that's streams within the browser? Is it part of the OS?
Thank you in advance!
The only thing I've found on this... If you're watching in Firefox, you can tap on the video and it gives you the option to watch it on MX Player... but there's no way to set this as a default?

There's no stock video player listed under apps, well there is, but that's for stand alone saved videos. I got in touch with Oneplus today and they said there's no option to choose within the browser... The guy said that I should suggest it for an update, which I did.
Firefox does let you press on the video and choose to open it in MX, but there's no way to set that as a default... Has to be done each time - bit of a pain.

Tried that too and it didn't work. Thanks for your replies :good:
I'm going to try another ROM (Resurrection) for now anyway, hopefully there won't be an issue :good:
