Hi there as the title says I have searched the forum and have also googled but cant seem to find anything relevant I installed Es File Explorer which has a built in video downloader and whenever I clicked on a video in facebook it used to give me an option with a list of softwares as what to do and I used to use Es Downloader to download the video (I was 100% satisfied with it) now this is not the case anymore. Today when i clicked on any video it simply starts playing the video without showing the extra menu opening before the video i havent changed any settings even re-installed the Es File Explorer still the same issue I have also tried other video downloaders on google play the only one seem to be working is VideoDownloader from giannz but that also needs to login to facebook and only shows the list of videos which I donot want I want to be able to download the videos as I browse the walls rather then seeing a random list of videos. Only downloading the videos while browsing my/friends wall and clicking on videos that I would like to download via the Es Downloader.
Can someone please help me out here preferably how to get the Es Downloader to work with my facebook videos pleaseeeee or any other better option PLEASEEEEEEe
Yeah Facebook changed the way the software runs. You cant download videos directly from the app anymore.

u mean to say the facebook app or the Es File Explorer app ??
Well both the app were updated yesterday at my end
isnt there anything that can be done i would really like to download videos I think Es File Explorer people will come up with an update to get around this
Es has nothing to do with Facebook. Facebook changed their code and implemented a built in video player.
You can try and find a older version of the Facebook app and install it.

Has anyone been able to download a mp3 file from the web
Not me. I am afraid that is by design...
Need Opera 9.5 on this thang- or a download app
Maybe their browser guys borrowed "features" from pocket internet explorer.
I don't have a problem downloading mp3's, i have tunewiki installed. The browser needs a program registered that is able to play mp3's... Try installing it. The music player may not have registered by design.
EDIT: OH! Make sure you are doing long press>save link, if you just press the browser ****s all over itself.

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'm having a horrible time trying to figure out how to do this on my tablet.
On my computer, I simply use a video downloader extension with Firefox.
I have the Flash Video Downloader app for Firefox Beta.
When I click for it to download something, a new window pops up of the file and the size of it.
When I click on that, it brings up my Antek File Explorer app but it won't allow me to save the file as is.
I've tried almost every app at the Google Play Store, websites and Web extension add ons.
What is the easiest way to do this?

Easiest way is to download on your CPU and move to your tablet or use a video downloader app though they don't work all the time and it looks as if you had trouble with them already by your post

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...
Hello all,
I just bought an Essential yesterday (640 on swappa with the 360 camera). I noticed that there are some "stock" apps missing like music player, file manager and gallery, maybe I´ll found more later. I was wondering what you guys are using to replace this missing apps. For music I use Poweramp (bough it a few years ago, great music player), for file manager I downloaded File Explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mauriciotogneri.fileexplorer) and Gallery (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atomicadd.fotos)
I'm using simple file manager and simple gallery

For music I'm using shuttle music player

I really like the HTC music player. You can find it if you search xda but here's a temporary link.

They are intentionally left out, this phone is designed to offer software that only has the essential apps to function as a phone (except the Google apps google makes developers put on their devices). Which is the main reason I bought it. I'm lazy and stream music, I just go though storage if I need to access a file I downloaded.

Oh yeah I totally get this. My question was made because I hace not used any Gallery app or file manager other than the ones preinstalled on the stock or custom rom. So I just wanted to see more options
I use Google Play Music and Google Photos as my gallery. I also use FX File Explorer

Thanks for taking my post! Lol I use these exact apps as well. Asus offers a good file manager as well on the play store
Pulsar is what I use for music and QuickPic as gallery.
File manager in settings.
