Hi,
So got my i9505 today, previously had the i9100.
I've got an issue, whereby when I am in a browser and I want to play a video, MX player doesn't play despite being set as the default player, instead it's video player that plays the video.
I've reset defaults for MX and set it as default again, to no avail... I can't seem to disable the Video Player app in App Management as I'm sure that would probably work... I'm guessing I'd have to be rooted... Which I don't really want to do just yet.
Anyone got any suggestions or advice?
Thanks in advance!

So stock player plays the video? You should be able to deselect it as default

Say a video from Facebook will play on MX player. But a video I've found on say pornmd or pornhub in the browser(yeah I watch porn lol) it plays on stock video app, any ideas?

Whenever I go to settings > more > Application Manager > all
I choose video player, and everything is greyed out, can force stop only...which results it starting up again when video is played.
I can't disable it, can't even untick show notifications.
This is the International S4.
See screenshot.

It's not a default setting thing. . is more about the built in video player in the browser...used to happen on my note 2 in Chrome but not in stock browser..here apparently something changed

Yeah, just played around with Firefox and Dolphin and they seem to have it as it should be.
So to disable the stock video player, i'd have to root, then I can freeze it?
(rather not really root a phone i've hard barely a day, was waiting for root and customization when I get bored of TouchWiz).

any video from the net should play in stock player, it has gesture the same as MX... i had my s4 on release day in Aus for about an hour before it was rooted... i don't see what you have to lose in doing it now

The default browser on the S4 is based on Chrome, not the AOSP browser. That's why flash doesn't work, why clicking two close links shows a magnifier like Chrome, and why scrolling sucks in it.

Hi,
Is there anyway to fix or improve de Web video player? Because the stock one really suck, once I get in full screen, all the button (Play/Pause/Go Forward or Backward) stops to work so yeah it is pretty much annoying.
Edit: I'm talking about video player in Chrome Browser
If you want some website to test out, http://youtube.com (Please don't tell me use youtube app as there is no app for other websites)
Thanks
Am I the only one having issue 0o :S ?

The standard Nexus 7 is not supplied with Flash. Yeah, I know Google decided not to include it because it is yesterday's technology! However it can easily be sideloaded. Just google it. Make sure you install. Version 11.1.115.11. There are problems with some of the other versions floating around.
Have you tried another player like "dice player" or "mx player"?

You'll have your choice between the player you install (mx is a good one too) and stock.They won't "replace" stock though, it'll still be an option.

Is there anyway to do this? I don't usually want to watch the video in the embedded browser. I want too use YouTube app. Makes sharing video to tv ect a lot easier.

Clear defaults for the YouTube app. Then next time you launch a YouTube video from the browser choose open with YouTube then, always.

This doesn't work anymore. Clear defaults is grayed out and it appears that the video plays within the browser now. Aosp browser included. Maybe html5?

Mines doesn't. It plays it in the browser, nothing comes up asking if I want to continue in Chrome or Browser or YouTube. Clear Defaults is grayed out. Hmm let me try clearing browser
edit: nope.
Clear defaults isn't grayed out for me. All stock, never been rooted 4.2.1
Mine doesn't give the option to set what to use it always jumps to youtube app, which is annoying, since I would prefer to read comments sometimes while watching the tinny portrait version in the browser..
Clearing chrome or youtube doesnt make a difference for me. 4.2 stock.
Very awkward that we all have different results lol

When I am in mobile chrome site and go to watch a youtube it shows in the browser and when I am in the desktop mode and go to watch a youtube it goes to the youtube app.
If you click the play button it will play within the browser, if you click the title of the video on top it will launch the youtube app at least this is the behavior on mine.
ok so you guys are getting conflicting results opening vids from the browser because your telling the video to play a different way, and also it depends on how the video is coded into the sight. if the website your on has the video embedded and you just click the play symbol on it, it will most likely play in the browser. if you click the youtube link in the bottom that actually takes you from watching the embedded youtube vid to watching it on the youtube website, then it will give you the option to either play in the browser or in the youtube app. also, some websites automatically see that your using an android so they will link you to the youtube website automatically.
I can tell you that regardless of where I touch my original unit. It would load via youtube app and never in the browser. Stock 4.2. My replacement unit plays in the browser.

I have the same behavior, but would prefer that the big play button would open it in the YouTube app.

Loaded Slimbean on my S4 yesterday. I love it by they way, real clean look.
I can't watch videos though, specifically avi files, both locally and streaming from my NAS. Youtube works, recorded video works (minus sound), but not the rest of the content that I could play on my stock rom.
Did some googling, and I found some references to the DPI settings, so I tried setting that to stock (480), but that didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Could be some bloat that was removed, is that a tw rom or aokp?

Loaded slimbean build 6. Still have the issue playing videos with the native video player and es file manager. I really like this rim but no video is a deal breaker.
Gonna try some other video apps but its a shame I even have to

Hello all. I'm looking for your opinions on which music player is the best out there.
While I like the interface of the stock TW music player, there's one thing that bugs the crap out of me. If a band name starts with the word "The", the band falls in the T's. For example, The White Stripes are in the T's not the W's.
So what are your thoughts? I've tries Poweramp and it's decent. But I'm looking to try others.

I use poweramp more than anything, lots of options and good UI , heres the link in play srore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Also the full base mod is awesome, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301190 a great app to use also is faux audio sound

The last two days I've been looking for good music player too.
I had been using n7player because I like the user interface of it. However since I added my external 64gb SD card I have not been able to add music to it from the card. I can play music off of the card using that player but it can't locate it automatically. It can locate music off the internal storage fine.
I tried Power amp and had the same problem. Winamp was able to identify the music fine.
Im assuming its a format issue as I'm using exFAT instead of fat32.
At this point I'll say Winamp but I like n7 player the best

I use tunewiki. Its easier to use and feels more stream lined imo plus it has lyrics which is nice
Of all the players I've tried I still prefer Neutron. Just seems to sound better. Subjectively, of course.
El Mono
MPlayer
I like the stock player on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but Winamp sounds just as good and the pro version comes with EQ. I would suggest just putting the first letter of the song before the word "the". So, instead of "The Black Crows" it would be "BThe Black Crows". This will fix the order of songs, but it does look awkward.
Player pro here. It also plays videos

Thanks for all the replies folks. So far, nothing has topped Poweramp, though PlayerPro is intriguing.
Have you tried Music Player for Pad/Phone?

In KitKat if I click an mp4 link it starts up the video player in the pic.
But in JellyBean, without flash installed, it would ask me which video player I wanted to play the video in.
Is there any way to get that choice of video players for mp4 links in KitKat?

Hey, you can reset your default apps, or use ES file Explorer to change just that one. I'm sure there are other ways and file explorers, but that's the way I do it, so I know that does the trick.
