Hi. I've been using M5 for a few hours and noticed a problem with Vlc for Android. I'm playing video content via IPTV app in Vlc. The problem is, i can't exit full screen or close the Vlc app. If i double tapp the screen, the content goes to pause, but that's it, there're no floating buttons. If i lock it with power button, it just goes black and i have to force reboot it. I noticed same problem with few other players, BSplayer works fine, but Vlc is quicker at opening m3u. Can anyone else confirm this? Best regards.
Yes... Changed to mx player instead.
I can confirm, created another thread here (I also have pretty much the same problem with Play Movies): https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/help/video-playback-t3772149
The only way I found is to turn the tablet in portrait... and you find the control again... Quite bothering me...
The problem was fixed with the update.
I noticed a small stuttering while streaming m3u on VLC through IPTV.. The video just freezes for a milisecond every 8-10 seconds.. Can anyone check?
P. S. : the stuttering is present only, when subtitle track is selected.. When the line changes, it glinches.

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 running gTabComb for a month now and love it...however I have been experiencing difficulties with video playback. Regular websites, using Opera, work fine with playing flash video.
However, with an app called, Crunchroll for Anime videos, along with various flv and mp4 files on qq player, the videos appear "magnified." They play as if on a large screen and only a portion of the top of the video appears. Since flashing gTabComb, Crunchroll worked without problem, then started acting in this manner with no changes to the system.
I have uninstalled/re-installed the software to no avail. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to change any settings with this to get these videos to play correctly--without having to go back to vegantab.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm a Crunchyroll user, there is a work around to get it to demagnify. What you do is start the video you want to look at, while it is playing, press the home button (either the physical button on the side or the one on the screen). Then on the screen press the button that shows you all the programs that are open (They will show as small thumbnails of the running programs). Press the thumbnail of Crunchyroll. It will restart the video but this time it will fit to the screen.
I don't now how I figured this out, but it works. And if you are watching a lot of back to back videos on CR, usually you can watch whatever is next without having to do this. But sometimes that's not always the case.
I haven't tried this on other videos that do this but, if it works on one, I don't see why it couldn't work that way with others.
Greetings from Portugal.
Before I start, yes, I have tried searching for it. Found a couple of old threads that didn't help much...
My question is: Is there a way to watch any video format without it stopping every few minutes?
If I use the stock player everything is fine, but it cannot support several video formats like avi, rmvb... etc. I use the MX player, but on some types of video, it stopps every few minutes. It's sooooo annoying!
From what i've seen in some threads, it happens with other video apps too. AND, when i am watching something directly from the internet, like fastpasstv, the video stops loading also every few minutes. I have to restart the loading from the middle... not hard, but also annoying. (using stock browser, and this doesn't happen on youtube for example)
Is the issue related? Since it seems to be happening to both online and offline video viewing...
I am stock, non-rooted, and non-unlocked... Wifi is fine.
I have the same problem. But it is a MX Player specific one for me. BS Player works fine (but has other issues).
Edit: I tried with the 'Performance Mode' and it works so far. Maybe a workaround?
I never have this problem when streaming one of many video formats from my PC to my Prime using ES File Manager to find the video files on my PC and MX to play them as streams.
Is this something that you tend to experience with streams/videos being played directly on the Prime?
For me it is locally played .ts videos.
Meanwhile I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/mx-videoplayer/browse_thread/thread/533d7296c0305183
It might be a Prime/ICS problem. There seems to be no solution up to now.
I get this same issue trying to stream video from sites other than youtube. It is when I'm streaming that I get most of the lock ups with the prime, reboots, etc. Maybe it is something to do with the allotted cache size of the browser being used up and cleared to make room for more buffered video?
It is rather annoying. You basically have to let it load and watch the whole thing as it goes. If I hit pause or so anything else then it risks stopping the stream where ever its at in the buffering. It's nice to have it start loading up, hitting pause, and walking away for a few minutes to let it buffer up. But then when I come back it would have just stopped about a 1/3 into it or 1/2 way. It would require hitting the reload button at the top or having to close the browser, kill it in the task manager, and then reopen it.
I don't have this issue with Netflix though. They did something right in their app.
I used to have this issue with mx player. It really sucked having to restart a movie every 5-10 minutes.
You want to use Dice Player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. All in Hardware rendering so the screen goes blank when plugged into HDMI.
Haven't had any issues since. I'm using the paid version, I assume they are both alright though.
YouTube App is perfectly working, but Video is not playing in the App.
YouTube in browser is perfectly streaming fast, but not in App.
The Video is not even starting in YouTube App, but MX player is perfectly playing videos.
On playing a Video, it says that "There was a problem while playing, Tap to retry".
On tapping it constantly say the same.
I tried restarting, reinstalling. May I know what may be the reason for this problem...

I am also facing same problem.
And also I would like to include that the key mapping tool works great but in some games whe I press keys (mapped keys with hw key board), the running game crashes...
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.

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.
