Video player and default application - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

Default video player not working

I don't know exactly why but the default video player will not work now. When I try ti watch a movie (transformers) App opens, I get the black screen that says loading with the circle, then static out the speaker and movie never loads. I laoded a different movie on the SD card that I know worked beofre and the same. Any ideas?
are other video players working ok? try TCPMP if you have not used it yet:

No vids are working. Does that app replace the default video player? If so how do I remove the default one and set the new one to default?
It doesnt remove the default one it just installs to your phone as another video player.
when you say default video player do you means windows media player or another media player?
removing software that is built into the phones os can only really be done by the cooks of the custom roms. so unless you are willing to install a custom rom you would have to put up with using a secondary media player.
However I do beleive their is a way to change file associations so that you can permenantly associate video files with new applications.
file associations should be accessible from tools/settings of the player, I'm not sure about tcpmp, as I dont use it.
You could always long press then "open with" and associate that way.....
Some of the UK tmo HD2's had an issue with the htc player being screwed with by certain apps, not sure if the same problem might exist in the US versions.
Have you installed anything recently that might have affected it.......
only thimg I can think of is SRS WOW. Im gonna try an SD flash of a custom rom now anyway. Thanks everyone.

I just tried this on my N7. I started Google Play Music playing local mp3's stored on the N7. I was able to then switch to the open tasks and choose one and the music kept playing. I was also able to touch the Home button and went to the home screen with the music still playing. I could start any other apps and the music still played. Not sure what is happening with yours. Are you sure you weren't streaming over wi-fi? I'm stock rom, rooted.
use this player

when you go out of the main app, it will make a player in the notification, making it able to play even on other apps...

Galaxy video player doesn't remember setting?

Does anyone have problems with the Galaxy video player not remembering its setting?
For example:
When this window pops up, I select ALWAYS but the app never remembers its setting, it's really annoying! And it pops up this window again everytime I play a video.
My friend has this same problem on her Note 3 as well. She has a Verizon version. Mine is T-Mobile. I think it's a Galaxy problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does anyone else have this problem?
I don't know if I'm really right on this but that window pop ups for specific actions. For example if you open a video file from File Manager opening an mp4 file then select always with Video Player then it will open it always with Video Player. However, if you do the same with an for example an mkv file then it will pop-up the window again since it is not the same action. So basically you have to do the always thing for every possible action. Different scenario = different pop-up action/history.
Again not sure of this but this works for me.
It's a KitKat bug.
I have the same problem with Tapatalk, AndroZip and Youtube.
It started with the 4.4.2 update. I factory reset immediatelly after. Didn't help. It just changed the apps with the problem from Tapatalk & Quickpic to Tapatalk, AndroZip and Youtube. Reinstalling, clearing data, clearing cache, factory reset, reflash, none of it makes any difference.

Sadly, this bug occurs even when you repeat the same file over and over again, telling it 'Always' every time.

[i9505 CM12 Nightly] Podcast stops when writting in Whatsapp

Hello all,
I have been trying to search for similar problems but can't seem to find a similar post.
I use BeyondPod Pro, but also tried different players.
I disabled pause on notification in settings, but everytime I write (not receiving) a message in WhatsApp the player STOPS and I need to restart BeyondPod app and press play again. This makes it unusable to listen if chatting with friends.
is there any solution for this? any other app you recommend? I tried another Podcast app but didnt solve the issue.
Thank you
