Hello
On my tab when searching for videos on google, when i try open them, they open in the browser instead of in the youtube app. Is that the case with everyone? When I use opera or reddita they correctly open in the youtube app.
I've tried clearing defaults for the browser but that didn't help.
Cheers.
So I have MX Video player installed and where I could I set it as the default video app player. However when in the standard browser or even in Chrome browser when clicking a video it still plays using the native video player on the GS4. I downloaded a tool to tell me what all of my defaults are and I cannot find anything else so I'm lost at the moment. Is there a way to override the "built-in" video player when in a browser so I can use MX instead? I am unrooted, stock on the Verizon GS4 16GB and have the ME7 update installed via Kies. TIA for any help.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Just took the DMI1 update and still I cannot get MX to be the default video player for some websites. Anyone know a way to disable the built-in video player that launches by default? What's the app's name and location and can I disable it? Thanks.
Settings, More, Apps, All, find Video Player. In the Video Player App Info page scroll down and tap Clear Defaults.
Now you'll be prompted next time you open a video asking which player to use.

Yeah, I checked that a long time ago. Both Video and Video Player, the purple circle with white triangle are not showing as default - they are both greyed out. That's what is so strange about this. Can't put my finger on it.
I went to apps, show all apps incl. system and searched for 'player' then I'd found some unknown player (can't recall its name); I'd uninstalled it and videos played well back again from Telegram. Weird.
Folks,
Am running 4.4.2 with beanstalk ROM. Question is, when watching videos from reddit links, some of the videos will open directly into the YouTube player, then some will open into the embedded chrome tab, where you have to click on play, then it opens the YouTube player and the video starts.
Is there a way of defaulting it to open just with the player, or is it the link that decides which way it opens?
Have tried clearing the defaults on the chrome and the YouTube player but it didn't seem to make any difference
Many thanks
Paul

I can no longer find the Samsung Video Player yet when I go to the Galaxy App store it shows the app as installed. What must I do to find or reinstall the app?

Wrong forum for your question but........
If you see Video Player as installed in the Galaxy App store then it probably is even though you don't see the app in your app drawer. If you have a video on your phone, open the file & Video Player will play it.
If you want the app in your app drawer it's actually a seperate app. 3 ways of downloading. While playing a file click on the 3 dots & click on download video app, or go to about for Video Player, or go to the Google Play store & download Samsung Video Library.
I don't even bother with it, one less app installed in my phone. I just use the Gallery app to catalogue my videos.

Apologies for posting in the wrong thread. Yet I don't want to post it again and start from scratch. I tried your advice and I think that's where the problem is...
This is so weird. Is it possible to move this entire thread to the correct location?
That's strange, looks like you do have Video Library installed, I'm not sure then. Maybe it got hidden by accident? Go to app drawer, click on 3 dots then settings then hide apps & see if the apps are hidden? Or maybe try to uninstall Samsung Video Library then reinstall?

This might be a bit low brow for XDA but I'm at my wits end
I am trying to get YouTube videos in the reddit app to open in YouTube vanced, however not having much luck
I am trying to get YouTube videos in the reddit app to open in YouTube vanced however not having much luck. If I click on an actual url, it takes me to YouTube vanced, but if I click on a posted video, it takes me to YouTube on the internal browser. There I have the option to click on the 3 dot menu to open in my browser but there is no option to open in YouTube vanced.
I have played around with a number of things;
- Official YouTube app has been disabled
- Toggled with the reddit app setting for opening links in the app
- Reinstalled reddit & YouTube vanced apps
- cleared defaults in app settings
- toggled the open url option in app settings for both reddit and YouTube vanced.
Any idea how to fix this?
