Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me solve the problem that I have. My phone can't play videos anymore. :/ I press "play" button and the screen turns black, and that's it. It doesn't play anything, and the videos work when I play them on laptop.

Hi. I have some serious issue with my vibrant which is just 3~4 months old
Recently, my vibrant had problem playing video files. When I play a certain
video, it stops playing within 1 minute, pause, and I have to manually press "play"
again in order to start a video again. The problem is, same thing happens
after I press the play button, within 1 minute, video stops, pause, and I have to
do the same thing over and over. This happens when I play a video with stock
video player. Let's say If I play a movie with "soul movie," then the different problem
persists, where this time the video turns into black screen and then continue on
playing for about another less than a minute again. Although I do not have to press the play
button in the "soul movie", the video doesn't last 1 min before it turns into black
screen and resume again.
I haven't had this problem at all until recent days, I tried everything I could,
rebooting, re-inserting micro sd. It can't be codec problem cuz I used to play
this video flawlessly before. Now, I hope I don't have to "factory reset" the
phone. I'm very reluctant to do it. (Also, I don't know how to...)
Can anyone please help me with these issues. I'll really appreciate it
Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
try an alternate video player like doubletwist and see if the problem still persists.I know I don't use the stock music our video players for anything, they're kinda bad.

thanks for reply. I tried doubletwist and same thing happens as when i play movie with soul movie.
So, it's like
STOCK MOVIE PLAYER-----> PLAY, STOP PLAYING, AND NEED TO RESUME MANUALLY
SOUL MOVIE, DOUBLE TWIST-----> PLAY, BLACK SCREEN, AND AUTO PLAY AGAIN
THIS ALL OCCURS WITHIN 1 MIN OF PLAYING ANY MOVIE
I have been trying to watch recorded Web casts. On my s3 I could like on the video and it would just play it. With the s4 it will sometimes open the video player and I can hear the sound, but the screen is black. Then sometimes it will only download the video, which works, but I don't want to download them. I have tried a bunch of other video players but nothing has worked.
Aby ideas?

I use Archos Video for my movies and it works well.
I have a Cubot One mobile phone. The phone plays videos from every company but Netflix. I don't know how to make netflix video play. The audio will play but the screen is black while the video plays, unless you advance the the video by hand then you can see the video play while it is buffering, but of course you can not hear anything when you advance the video by hand. How can you help?. Is it netflix programming or is it the Android 4.2.1 or what? Is there are work around. Please help me resolve this matter.
Hi. I have the same problem, same phone. Might be worth trying a different ROM.
sometimes, I want my son to listen movies . but when I zoom out the player, the movie is stopped. I want to find a solution to black screen after I click a button/icon, meanwhile the movie player can continue without pausing.
so
1. I need an app to screen off
2. meanwhile the player can't be stop
3. even if I find a such app, How to click it with mouse when the movie player is running.
I think multi-windows is a solution, but It will release on Android 7. Now, I just have Andriod 5.1 （teclast x16 plus. cherrytrail z8300）
Hey,
I bought the 10" model of the Mediapad M5, mostly to let the kids watch videos during car rides or play games.
However, I'm experiencing some problems with video playback in both VLC and Google Play Movies. The video starts in both applications, but when tapping the screen to bring up the media controls, nothing happens. I can't even bring up the navigation bar to go back.
In Play Movies, after starting a movie, the screen dims down efter about 2 sec, as if the screen is about to turn off (but it never does). From Play Movies I can press the physical home button to exit the app.
In VLC, I can't even press the physical home button to exit the app; if I press it, the screen goes black and I need to restart the device.
I tested playing local files with the built in "Video" and MX Player, and both of those applications work as expected.
Edit: Testing some alternative video streaming applications: YouTube works fine, DS video as well (video app for my Synology Nas), Netflix is stuck at "Loading..." no matter which movie I try to play, not sure if this is related or a separate problem...
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks
I can confirm the issue with Google Movies. Netflix works for me as expected.
I guess it's a side effect of L3 only widevine level.

Thanks. I returned my device and will fall back on my Nexus 7 until I find something I like, where you can actually play videos.

If hou havent returned the tablet yet., it s fixed with update 8.0.0.123.
Widevine L1 and vlc working as it should.
Google Play Film does not work, but other videos work
I have (partly) the same problem. Netflix works fine, but Google Play Film dims the screen completely for all films. All programs are up to date, but still doesn't work.
I got a new Huawei tablet but the problem remains.

As @esbeone has stated, OTA update fixes the issue. I can confirm that also.

As suggested, I found the udgrave to the OS.
