Samsung Video Player - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

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?

New Google Play Movie Force Close

Just got pushed the new Market Movie app. Took one of the $.05 offers, launched the new Google Movie player and get a Force Close error immediately. Uninstalled the player, re-installed. No joy.
Works fine on my Bionic !
Thoughts?
Thanks
Same here, bought a movie to watch on the plane but every time I try to mark it for offline viewing I get force close. Seems ok on mt gnex though

I haven't tried renting yet but when I try to play a video from my personal collection it says video cannot be played after about 3seconds of the video, I think that is an issue with the sony video player as that is what is used to launch it. Have u guys tried installing the stock Android video app, maybe that will work?
Google movies can only be played in the 'PLAY MOVIE' google app.

So when you click play it doesn't try and launch the video in the Sony Video player? It is strange that when you go to play a video from that app that is on the internal storage that it tries to launch a different app then if it has the video playing capabilities built in.
I haven't rented a Google movie yet to test that aspect myself, I was just commenting on the app not being able to launch internally stored video properly.
Correct. Google movies play within the Play Movie player only.
good to know
Good info to have. I have yet to rent a movie, but good to know ahead of time how to play it.
Its the google player that keeps force closing

[Q] How to load youtube videos from temp files?

Hello all,
I would like play videos using the Youtube app and to save the video (automaticity)in my phone (Galaxy s 9000),so in the next time I will play the video the file will load from temp (It's will save me bandwidth and time).
Thanks.
Search "Youtube Downloader" on Google Play.
I don't think you'll be able to play the downloaded videos through the youtube app though. Is there any specific reason why you want to view the video only within the youtube app?

YouTube VEVO in germany

I'm experiencing some strange but welcomed behavior of my nexus 10's YouTube app. I'm living in Germany so theoretically I shouldn't be able to watch official music videos on YouTube. at first I tried to search the videos via Google now and open the playing request via YouTube and it worked for some songs. but now I'm able to watch ANY music videos by vevo in the YouTube app. I can just search them via the app and it starts playing. now I want to flash the latest cm10 but I really want to preserve this YouTube/ music state...any advice what I could do to transfer this to the new ROM. I tried to backup the youtube app via titanium and transfer it to my galaxys and play the videos there but I'm not able to watch them on the galaxy s due to the copyrights. so the "mess up" has to be placed elsewhere. any ideas? if we can figure this out I can share these files/or whatever is needed to you guys
best regards dadebue
EDIT: no proxy app or something like that installed...the videos load as quick as my internet provider allows it

dude well i am living in germany too at the moment. And well this is kind of a gap hole from vevo haha well if you search for the vevo app directly in the play store, you will not find it. But i did this with several jelly bean roms, and it always worked for me on any device. Just go to google search and search for "vevo android app" and it will show you the app with a little button next to it saying "free". Tap on that button and it will ask you to open the play store and guide you to the app. And i also says download there and it all works fine :highfive:
I think it has more to do with restrictions people put on your videos as opposed to your tablet.

[Q] I don't see the video app?

If I navigate to a folder with videos and click the video I get the pop up to use video but I don't have an icon for it in my app drawer. Am I just missing somehting?

I believe unless you install a 3td party video player videos are played through the Gallery.
Is that what you mean? You're looking for your Video Player among your apps?

Correct, there is a video app because I see it in Titanium and when I click a video it gives me the option to pick the video app.
It's just more cluttered to pick the galary to try and find videos. When I would click the video app on my S3 it would just show videos and not all the photos with them.
I see it now. I can go into galary and select the video filter. I didn't notice that before. Thanks

How can you change the default in browser streaming video player?

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.

Hmm.. Maybe gallery as my phone has a separate app for the video player so you can open like gallery and only see videos... Try clearing gallery defaults

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:
