[Q] How to change video player for HTML5 videos? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, all
I watch a lot of HTML5 videos with captions in Chrome. The problem is, if I try to go full-screen, the captions are not displayed. Chrome itself supports them, though.
So, how do I change the video player that is used for full screen mode?
I tried clearing defaults for both Chrome and Gallery apps, didn't work. The best I could do is sing Dolphin browser with full screen mode on - but the screen buttons won't go away, and there are a lot of bugs.

[Q] Best video player to use with cm10

I'm curious as to what the best performing video players people are using with cm10. I'm currently running the SGT7 cm10 rom. I've found that mx player has the best compatibility but unfortunately it doesn't run full screen (the area where the status bar resides remains black with grey dots where the soft buttons are located.) Dice player runs full screen but is pretty buggy with this rom, it refuses to play many videos or force closes after a few minutes. The VLC beta runs full screen but crashes like Dice player too often. Suggestions?

there should be a setting to hide the status bar when an app tries to go full screen.

I dug around in my settings and realized I had the "force tablet ui" button checked, which was causing the status bar ghosts. MX player works as usual now.

[Q] Android web-video player?

Whenever I click on a video and then enter full-screen mode with it, the video just plays in portrait mode, leaving the entire top and bottom dark. So I have to unlock the screen orientation, go in to landscape mode before I can watch the video in true full-screen. This happens in Chrome and many other browsers I have tried in the play store, the only browser that have a different web-video player is UC browser. It does all that I need when I watch a video (gestures, automatic landscape fullscreen...) but I don't like the browser itself. I prefer Chrome for browsing but not when it comes to watching embedded videos.
So is there anyway to "change" the default web-video player in Chrome? Or is it just impossible? I am using a Nexus 5 btw.
Shameless bump...
No one... ok...

I've tried other forums, hopefully you can help.. Screen Rotation

Hello, I have a Minix Neo X8H Plus. Basically a TV box running Android.
Everything is running brilliantly apart from some apps require portrait orientation to access settings, for example CCTV viewer apps, and TuneIn Radio...
There are no settings for display rotation, and I have tried all the top apps for forcing screen rotation with no luck.
Does anybody have a solution? So happy with this new device, I just want to be able to view my CCTV cameras and playback on my TV but unable to as the settings are hidden in portrait menus. I also don't want to lose my current settings and Nova launcher home screen setup, and hours of playing around, trying out different widgets, icon sizes, etc,etc it's finally perfect.
Thank you :good:

How to play videos fullscreen?

One of the things I really like about the iphone is how when I play a video from twitter or Facebook is plays back fullscreen? On Android it tends to just play back in the webpage it's on and if you are lucky there is a button to zoom to full screen. Sometimes there isn't a button even.
Is there a hack or setting that will cause the video player on Android to default to full screen?
Thanks!
