hello .. i know it sounds very easy but i tried to clear defaults but nothing .. installed 3 different video players but still it never asks form which player i want to open as default ...
means that it just opens videos with default video player and i dont know now what to do to make mx player as default video player
You must clear as defaults on stock video first if you want to change any video player as default player
Go to setting => application => application manager => more => show system
And then find and tap Video player => set as default => clear as default
i tried that already even took permission to access data on memory but still when i open gallery n touch a video then it opens with video player and video player asks permission to access data on memory
Try to open video file from file manager & don't open from gallery because It will automatically open the default video player

Ok, Im kinda stuck here. I installed a video player that finally ran wmv files, but does not open correctly sometimes. By mistake I set it as default player and have not been able to reset the option.
I have gone through the logical basic process of going to manage applications and clearing defaults but in all video audio programs this option is grayed out. I even downloaded DefaultApp Manager but even there options are empty for viedo and audio. I did clear all caches through CWM and still the same problem.
I was wondering what can I do to at least recover the option to choose a default program for certain types of files?
Do you have any other options installed to choose from? Maybe try uninstalling the video player, then install a different player and try to watch a video. It should ask which player to use. Then you can re-install the other video player and just don't set a default so you can choose which to use for different video types. Which player is it? Try Mobo Player v5 it has ARM 7 optimizations and can play many different types of video, supposedly including .wmv files. Or if you are streaming from PC, try Qloud Media Server, which converts your videos on the fly to an android friendly format. Both work great for me, but I don't have any .wmv videos.
Ok found a solution. The default settings go back to ES explorer which is the file explorer I use. Messing with its settings found one saying reset app defaults! Ta da!!! I could choose my player again.
Tested Mobo player as u mentioned. Very nice!
Experts,
I am using the Alcatel OT-918d (stock rom, root access enabled) and while playing videos in the browser, I do not get an action prompt to choose from the available video players and browser plays the video using "default video player".
The so called "default video player" has been uninstalled though. Have cleared cache, clear defaults, clear data for the browser but still do not get a prompt to choose a video player while playing videos from the browser.
Also installed the "Default App Manager" to check for the default video player. However, it indicates no defaults to play any videos (either from file or streaming videos).
(If I play a stored video from phone or SD card, I do get the prompt to choose a video player. But do not get a prompt if playing any video in the browser.)
Pleas help me to solve this.
Any suggestions to solve this problem...?
That must be the flash content playing. The browser itself plays flash content if enabled.

Thank you so much for your reply. It was the flash player indeed... This is what I tried:
Dolphin browser > Disable the Flash Player > Make 'Desktop' as the User Agent and then access m.youtube.com and now any video will be played using the video player that I have installed... (but the video quality was pathetic even for HD videos probably coz of wrong combination of user agent and the URL used..?)
Next did the following - Dolphin browser > Disable the Flash Player > Make 'Android' as the User Agent and then access m.youtube.com and now any video that is played is using the default media player of the android (or I would say "flash player" of the browser...But the quality of the same video is quite good and played in HD too...Just failing to understand even though the Flash Player is disabled, the video was still played...?).
Any suggestions as to how we can play those "flash based" HD quality videos of m.youtube.com (and other sites) in custom media player like doubleTwist or something else..?
I believe u cant play YouTube videos on custom player. And y not try YouTube official app?

Thank you so much for your confirmation. Yes, the YouTube official app is fantastic and works very good. I was trying to play the online videos (even if they are flash based) with a custom media player like doubleTwist so that the functionality of AirSync offered by doubleTwist can be utilized efficiently.
I watch a lot of anime from Nwanime or TV series from Couchtuner
When I open these video webpages on Android I have to nagivate like on a desktop browser (tiny play button and maximise button and seek bar)
On the iphone the video would open in the default video player.
How can I enable my Android device to open these videos with a default video player like mxplayer for example?
*note. Mxplayer is already my dafault player, so if I open an actual video file it plays in mxplayer. My problem is with web video
Thanks

Hey guys,
my question is How to change default video player. I really need to change it beacuse that video player cant open all of the formats, so I can't open snapchat videos. Basically i just want to make snapchat videos work on my phone. Every time when i want to open snapchat videos i get : 'Can't play this video'. So i thought it's video player problem, but even if i got MX Player installed (or other vid players, i tried many of them) i can't open videos on snapchat. Maybe if I could change default video player or disable that LG video player snapchat would use MX Player instead.
Try Default App Manager Lite application. It should help you setting the default app used per file type.
