For some reason, everytime I try to view a video in Whatsapp, my MyTouch 4G tries loading Twobile Screen Share. This didn't used to happen. Can someone give me ANY ideas as to why this might be happening?? It's so frustrating. I used to be able to view videos fine in whatsapp and now it's like it wants to use Twobile as it's default viewer?? So strange. I can't seem to reassign the default video viewer either.
PLEASE help, if you have any thoughts.
You've gone into settings>apps>whatever app its opening in and clearing defaults?

There aren't any defaults set in whatsapp or the stupid Screen Share program. Whatsapp used to use the stock gallery media player to play videos. Should I uninstall and reinstall whatsapp?
I just got my 10.1 two days ago. Transferred a few movie files (.mkv & .mp4) into it through MTP (cable connection). I am 100% sure those video files were already inside the tab storage, they even appear in my moboplayer list, none of them appear in my stock video app. It just shows empty. I had no trouble opening those video files via my files and then open through video app.
What should I do?
nobody cares to help?
The stock gallery sometimes needs a reboot before it picks up new video and pictures.
Try using another gallery app like QuickPic, it's faster and has much more functionality than the stock app anyways.
I've found when trying to download apk's off xda on chrome it opens a video player.
Anyone else had his issue?
At first I thought it was VPlayer opening but it appears to be chrome ( but this is from looking at the opened apps)
So I went into application manager in settings and cleared chrome's defaults and it worked at first as it asked permission to download the file but it just opens the video player again...please help.

I don't know if it's at all related, but I have a similar issue when I try to follow links in Google currents, especially play store links, sometimes it just opens another random current article instead of opening play store.

I have a similar problem - sometimes when i click on a link in flipboard it opens OI-Filemanager instead of a webpage.
It´s Android not iOS! It´s not perfect...!

When trying to download an APK in Chrome it ALWAYS tries opening it with BS Player, rather than just downloading it. If I uninstall BS Player, Chrome works properly and just downloads the APK. If I user any other browser, everything works. It's driving me nuts! Any thoughts?
Using Chrome on Nexus 7 16GB Android 4.1.2, btw.
Any fix for this yet? It is very annoying.
Same problem here with chrome and Bs player. Any idea's?
Same on galaxy note II N7100.
Chrome opens vplayer.
I tried to removed the "Launch by default" settings in vplayer and chrome for the applications manager but still remains....
Having same problem on HTC One X... apk links in Google Chrome opens in Vplayer...
So, nobody can help us with this? I have a SGS3 with stock (yet unpublished) 4.1.2 and it works ok, but on my gtab with CM10 it is on permanent failure. Only solution to date is uninstalling vplayer,but I need it for other tasks so, no joy. Some help would be extremely welcome. Come on! It's Christmas
Sorry guys, this is just a "me too" response. This thread has been dead for 2 months.
I've just been coping the URL into the stock browser "Internet" to avoid, in my case, VPlayer opening....
I have the Verizon variant of the LG G2. Whenever I download an image from Chrome, the image does not immediately appear in my Downloads album. I tried the Rescan Media app and it seemed to work once but then didnt seem to help after a few images. I've downloaded pictures from whatsapp and the reddit is fun app and they appear instantly in my gallery. My friend who also got this phone is seeing the same issue.
Are you guys seeing this too? Is there a fix?
Thanks
Edit: Okay after restarting the phone, Rescan Media works everytime to get my gallery updated. But I'm pretty sure this needs to be fixed by LG.
I'm on AT&T and I have had this problem too. After downloading, the picture takes a couple of minutes to appear on the gallery. I have downloaded a third party Gallery app from Play store and it works fine.
This should be fixed in the next update.
One thing that I find sorely missing from Android TV are better Daydream apps. When I'm playing Pandora or Google Play Music or whatever, I would love to have a photo slideshow going on with the photos that are linked to my Google account (ideally, all of my Auto Backup photos in random order).
I'm currently using Cloud PhotoFrame EX.net, but it's... well... unpolished (?). Now, I don't mind using a mouse if I have to, but I really REALLY want a good looking slideshow up as a screensaver. Maybe there's a way to plug this into Dashclock somehow? (Though I can't seem to find ANY photo extensions for Dashclock..?)

Thanx - I'm pretty sure his app only uses 500px as the source, but I'll check it out. And I'm not sure how anExplorer applies to this thread? Is there a Daydream feature that I'm missing?
Idk either lol wasn't thinking on the last part, it has tons of categories though, and options for update interval controls for it to, the quality looks really good though, and I haven't seen any one else mention it sorry /:

No worries at all! I appreciate the recommendation! I was just confused... lol
You know, it's funny... the Chromecast has this feature mostly baked in to the new "Backdrop" functionality. Maybe it's still coming.
Would be cool, backdrop? What is that? Is it the showing Google photos on your account?

It's basically just the ability to customize the photos and some of the content on the Chromecast when you don't have anything connected to it at the time. Read: screensaver.
Ah I see that is cool, maybe it's just for the chromecast stick right now? Seems like it since the chromecast app doesn't find my nexus player, Hopefully they do it for the nexus player though it'd be cool
Hey guys, I noticed with the latest version of Google photos, it is compatible with the nexus player, and now adds the option to daydream settings. But when I set it, it doesnt work, tells me there are no photos selected. I'm wondering if there is a way to sync an album or collection down to the nexus player. Any one get this working?

It seems like the Photo app is not designed for Android TV. The remote does not work, I had to navigate with mouse.
If you use the daydream on smartphone, there is a settings button for google photos where you can select pictures. That button is absent on Android TV daydream settings.

I have noticed this too and cannot figure out how to get photos to come up on Daydream, I get "no photos selected" as well when it kicks in.
coming from a chromecast, it really makes me sad I can't just go pick a bunch of my family google+ photo albums to display in daydream mode Hope they add this soon.
Me Frame - Digital photo frame
I use "Me Frame - Digital photo frame" to daydream my google+ Photos. I had to sideload it.
Sorry cant link yet. Hope That Helps.
Personalised Photos Daydream on Android TV Daydream
We've written an app for Android TV that is designed to look and feel like the default Google Daydream/Backdrop. It can show photos from 500px, as well as your own photos from Google, Facebook and Flickr. Sorry I'm not allowed to post links on this forum yet, but if you search "furnaghan photo screensaver" you'll find it!
