I noticed that Pluto TV now integrates with the Live Channels app but I don't know the controls for the app.
Is there a way to pause the video while in the app since scrolling through the program guide is very laggy while a video is playing. I also don't know how to stop the video from playing since clicking the back arrow and the home button seem to not do anything.
Unfortunately Google hasn't given us any way to stop playback when using live channels. You can hit the home button on your remote, then it will play in the background; then just go into settings or another app, and it will stop the video.

Hey all,
I've noted that the recent iteration of Chrome behaves oddly when hitting on a video link.
For example, if I go to ESPN and hit on the play button, I'd hear the audio part in the video, but no video. The only way to get it to work is to get the link to launch in a new tab in order to select the video player that I want. This never happened before. My defaults are properly set.
Any thoughts on what this could be due to?
Thanks~
in chrome, mines show a pop up of what I want to use play the video. whether I want to use a browser, MXplayer, Stickit mediaplayer, or overscreen browser. it doesn't do it on all videos but I think its the ones not optimized for html5. or if its a flash type.
This issue is related to the application "Feedly".
I watched a video with the browser of Feedly. I stopped watching it in the middle by pressing the system "back" key, but the video was still playing in the background (I could hear the sound), even if I exited/restarted Feedly. Amazingly, even if I turned off the screen, the video kept playing. It seemed that there is no way to stop the sound of that video, so finally I restarted the phone.
Anyone encountered the same issue?
The webpage/feed I was browsing:
http://www.universetoday.com/103719/how-can-we-stop-an-asteroid/
You can reproduce the problem by add the rss feed to your Feedly reader and play the video of that webpage with the internal browser of Feedly.
With the Chrome browser, after exiting the browser the video won't play in the background.
Android version: 4.2.2

What amazes me is that, in the past I had been looking for a way to play some video on Youtube in the background and didn't found a good solution. Someone said that that is not possible. But now I find that this is indeed possible.
Feedly is most likely the issue, try contacting the developer via email in the Play Store about this.
You can force stop the app in the settings or by pressing the recent key, press and hold Feedly, press "App info" and then press "Force Stop".

Is there any way to make the browser or phone change how it handles videos.Like in its own standalone player. For example an embedded video on a website will play natively on the website on the note 3 but in iphone it will open an app to play it.
Is there any way to make the browser on android open an app when playing embedded video instead of having to struggle with the tiny little buttons from the video player. Its just a hassle having to re-size or hit the full screen button every time and having the video restart playing all over again.
What I'm thinking in my head is when opening a video link or embedded video have android open a video player app every time instead of playing natively in the browser. Youtube uses the app sometimes but many times it just plays in the mobile website of youtube which sucks too.
I pushed the youtube music APK to my shield, but opens up in portrait mode and cant select Sign In button. Really like this app for playing music videos, and its ok to cast, but you cant control it from a remote once its case which is why im trying to get it to play natively
I'm having trouble with Facebook video. Usually tapping on videos it will play the videos but now when I tap on the video there's nothing happening as if I didn't touch the screen. On images it works when I tap the images. Only videos I can't tap on it. Anyone else have this kind of problem?
Any help please? I've tried uninstall and install back it's still the same... I'm on stock unrooted
I sit with the same issue. There is a setting in fb that allow video to play directly, depending if you are on wifi or not. Mine is set to play video on wifi driect, but sometimes the videos don't play when scrolling down through the feeds. . When clicking on the video it still doesn't play sometimes. What I did and it works every time, when clicking on the video it opens the video and nothing happens. On the right hand top of the video there is 2 arrows pointing up and down or at an angle away from each other. That is to maximize the video. Maximize the video and it will begin to play.
