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 have the Verizon version of the Galaxy tab and I have noticed something very frustrating... I have family videos on my picasa account and I can acccess and play the videos in the gallery app on my Samsung Fascinate but I cannot play them on the Tab. I just get an error that says video cannot be played. Anyone know if that can be fixed by installing a new gallery app? One from a phone like the Fascinate or Droid?
Anyone else having this same trouble?
I figured it out. Found this thread.

I basically just used Root Explorer to uninstall the stock gallery app and install the one from the thread. Now I can stream my videos from my picasa account.
Hey
Little problem with too many pics in my gallery. A lot of them are album art
Is there any advice to stop these from showing in my gallery?
Thanks

They must be in your download directory, when you save an image while browsing it goes there. Guess you could go into the directory and move the images elsewhere that the gallery app won't include. You could also uncheck images on device from showing in the gallery but I doubt you want to do that, I mean if your sending them all to say Dropbox, Facebook, Google or whatever and displaying those then you actually could go into content to display and click off device.

Use QuickPic from Play Store, and you can choose which folders to show i your gallery.
Just a suggestion if you want to use 3rd party apps to solve your problem.
How many years and this is still a problem???????
I still have not found the answer.
Do not want to install a 3rd party app.
.nomedia does not work.
embedding will take forever with the amount of albums one has.
tried renaming music folder to media but art still showed up in gallery.
Is there a quick and/or simple way of getting this done?
Hello everyone,
When I try to play a video i get a pop up asking me which app to use. So i select Samsung video player then click always. But at some point the pop up will come back again asking me the same thing. Any idea how to fix it?
Sometime i get this
I think only way to fix it is make it become default app

Does the pop up come up after you install another app that has the same function? If so, that is the reason. If not..??? Try deleting the cache???

Thanks for your reply.
I managed to find the problem but I don't know how to fix it. If i chose video player as default it works fine even when I restart the phone, but once I open a video from whatsapp i get the same massage. This massage will erase my default player setting as will outside of whatsapp.

Each app has to be told which Default app to use. After you choose a default app in whatsapp you don't have to select it again when you use whatsapp again, right? But if you go into another app that needs to play a video, you also need to train that app to which video player you want as default.
I think that's what's happening in your case, hopefully. . Good luck.
I think I found the problem but I don't know how to fix it. I have two video players from Samsung with same icon. One is named "Video" and the other "Video Player". These two players use the same version which is version 1.0.
When I open a video from the gallery i get the complete action and It gives me the icon for the Video player and when I open a video from whatsapp it gives me the same icon but for the Video app. I'm not sure which one to delete. This is strange problem
Which one do you have video player or video? I think video player. I will try to freeze one since i'm rooted and see the result.
Okay I found the problem. Its an app called ES explorer which has some type of player called ES player that's pop when i want to play video from whats app and it erase the default player for some reason.
I have the same problem with whatsapp and my S6 edge... But I haven't es explorer...? please help me...
So, for whatever reason whenever I go into my gallery it just seems as though my phone refuses to load GIF images or just refuse to load the pictures Into their full resolution. Any fix for this?

I use quickpic for gallery and photos for cloud backup. Can't speak on gif functionality, but its worth a shot imo.
I was just about to make a thread of a similar problem I'm having... My gallery sometimes completely fails to load any album thumbnails and names, but you can enter the albums (everything is still lacking thumbnails). It's very aggravating and it causes Documents to crash often.
Hi all
Have a rooted S8, everything is running fine apart from one little glitch... The Google Play Movies app won't allow me to view purchased films offline. I am able to stream, no problems, I can download the item but once downloaded, said film won't play. I receive an error message saying I need to restart device... Which doesn't work BTW!
So far I have cleared app cache, uninstalled app and reinstalled, updated app, tried the download on internal and external memory, no luck. I have tried all different movies. The app works fine on my tablet. So it's device specific. I have spoken to Google who have confirmed my account is clear and phone is connecting on OK.
Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions... It's very frustrating.. I can only think the rooted handset is causing a glitch?
Thank you in advance, Jackie
Have you tried using a different player? Or download it and move it in your google drive and use the drive's default video player?
Hi, thanks for your reply
I believe you can't use any other player... the format of the video, which is broken up into separate segmented files for this specific reason, is only playable via their (Google) own app.. And I'm not sure how you would download it to Google Drive...
Would love to know if anyone else has experienced this issue...
