[Q] Defaults settings are broken on NP? - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Seems like "Use always" option do not work on NP...
Just reinstalled the system from a scratch and the bug still there.
F.E. using Mizuu (or any other app) trying to select MX player as the dafault player, but fails - it continue asking all the time.
Is it only me or it is known bug? Any workout to fix it?

[Help] Play streaming video using video player instead of browser

Hi,
I browse DailyMotion from my Galaxy S a lot using the stock Android browser (i'm using the desktop version of the site, rather than the mobile version). Whenever I try to play a video from DM, the browser would prompt me and give a choice between playing the video in the browser itself or playing it using the built in Video Player application. I always choose the latter option since it has less lag and better seek control.
However since yesterday the browser no longer gives this prompt to choose preferred player. It would always load the video within the browser which is sort of annoying. Do you know of a way to force the streaming video to be played using video player app instead of within the browser itself?
So far I have tried the following with no success:
- Rebooted
- Checked and cleared default associations
- Cleared data on Internet app
- Cleared cache, history,etc and even reset internet settings to defaults
The only change I remember doing prior to this issue was upgrading Flash player from 10.3 to 10.3.185.22. I tried rolling back to 10.1 and results were still the same. Any help is appreciated. I'm running stock Froyo 2.2.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. - I still get this prompt when trying to play YouTube videos. I get to choose between browser and YouTube app.
Try this...works on my tab with 2.2...
Go to Settings>Applications>Browser and click on it. Then in the screen which opens up where it says uninstall, move etc....just scroll down to "launch by default" and press clear defaults. Now press back and exit and open up the browser and it should give you a choice of app as before...

Thanks for the reply. However I had earlier tried this to no avail. There were no defaults associated with the Browser and the button was greyed out (in my phone there is no app named 'Browser', instead it's named Internet)
I used to get the same thing Ram. I dont think it has to do with any settings with your phone. It must be something dailymotion did because I dont get the same prompt like I did last time.

Multitask?

Does this thing multitask? If I open any browser and play music from a website, then open another tab, the music stops from the first tab with msg "stopping audio player". If I play music from Sirius App and minimize to start browsing, the music stops with msg "stopping audio player". My SII phone works fine, but the tab won't let me play Sirius app and browse at the same time.
Interesting, sounds like an issue with sirius. Of course the tablet should multi task though.

Any music website stops playing when I open another tab. It doesn't matter which browser I use, I've tried them all.
Then use Pandora. Its an app and it never stops playing.
Have you tried a different browser? I don't think that will work but it is worth a shot. Also, I think that browsers were made to work this way (When browsing another page all tasks on the current tab is paused) to keep memory and CPU usage down when browsing.
It makes sense, not sure if that is 100% correct though.
Siriusxm app android "stopping audio player" when minimizing!?!?
I have the same issue, but it is with the siriusxm android app and not a browser, on my samsung galaxy s3. As soon as I minimize, I get the message "stopping audio player". I have ATK but I have siriusxm as an ignore app, so that it is not forced closed. There is no setting on the siriusxm app that allows for any multitasking option. My default android music player can play in the background as I play a game or browse the internet, but the siriusxm app shuts down as I minimize it..... frustrating!
Anyone else having this issue, and what could be the cause and/or solution? Thanks in advance
UPDATE ----
Found the fix in another forum, under Settings - Developer Options - Do not keep activities, just uncheck and restart ----- BOOM it works, yeah!! Thx for the reply necktru!
In my P3110, the application of music stops just open another audio source, whether for web or aplicaccion youtube, I tried to PowerAMP and the Apollo, and all feel the same, and is only for the issue of multiple audio applications

Video player and default application

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...

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.
