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.

Just noticed today that when I play back videos I recorded on the HD that the "expand" button to make the video fullscreen has no effect. Then immediately went into the youtube app to test it there and same thing. Again cannot change the orientation. Seems to stuck the way it is.
Can anyone suggest anything?! Thank you for any help!
I uploaded several short videos to youtube to check the quality of the of them. And their not showing up in HD...at least I don't they are.
First when I'm recording the video on the Atrix, in the upper left hand corner of the screen, the red circle is lit so it is recording in HD. However, after I upload the video to Youtube, it shows in 360p. I click the drop down menu and 720p is no where on the list. The previous videos that I've taken with my other phones such as the Evo, Evo Shift and Epic 4G always had the HD emblem on my list of videos.
I don't actually think it's the phone but maybe it's a setting that I'm overlooking. I checked other Atrix 4G videos on youtube and they all have the 720p selection in the setting. The video plays back EXCELLENT on the phone itself.
Is there a setting somewhere that I may be missing?
**Nevermind I figured it out...This phone is the Shiznit!*
Whenever I try to share upload to youtube I keep getting the same error regardless of vid size; "Failed to retrieve account information". All other services are working properly (gmail, voice, etc) with the same log in info. Any any why it is failing?

Thanks. I was finding that annoying. Now if I can only get youtube to believe I'm over 18. Yes, it's blocking me and telling my I have to be over 18 to watch some videos. Works fine in browser and on pc but the app refuses.
Hi,
I am not able to play the videos in official facebook app in main screen. I never had this issue in my htc desire. Youtube videos are being played in browser and for other videos it opens the video player but i get unsupported format error. If i open videos from main screen after clicking the thumbnail at bottom then everything is fine. i get YouTube app option for YouTube videos as well and other videos are also played in player.
Am I missing any settings in S2?
Any Help guys...
I am having some trouble with videos after the recent BlackBerry camera update. Everything time I take a video, it records and saves fine but when I try to play the video back, using any different video player it just looks like a green jumbled mess. It does this on the regular gallery, QuickPic and even Instagram. See the screenshot below.

Are you using MX Player to play videos by any chance?
I am not. And I discovered that it also does it on other people's instragram videos and snapchat stories so it must be a playback or codec issues

I have some music videos and I use MX Player to play them. In decoder settings of that app, there was HW+ option which I would enable on every phone that I had, but on Priv I had to select HW instead because videos came out green and distorted.

I'll see what happens when I use it. I hope this stuff will be fixed in an update.
Edit: I'm an idiot and I had AwesomePlayer enabled in developer settings. Using NuPlayer fixed it.
For owners of the SM-G9750 (S10+ CN / HK model), I'm trying to get some verification here on a possible software issue. I'm trying to play a 4K video file locally (specifically a 4K HDR H.265 / HEVC MKV @ 24fps video, but I believe this bug may apply to all UHD video playback - I'm not sure as I haven't done enough testing) and it seems to be dropping frames and stuttering throughout. I cannot get it to play smoothly despite trying all of the following:
Setting the phone to Performance mode.
Trying different players - in this case, the default video player, MX Player Pro and VLC.
Moving the video player app to Game Launcher and optimizing them for performance.
Forced 2D GPU Rendering in Developer Options.
Changing display resolution from WQHD to FHD.
Moving the video file from SD card to internal storage.
Disabling / uninstalling all apps which use Accessibility Services.
Clearing cache.
Factory reset.
None of these worked. ---UNTIL--- I tried using the screen recorder, from the Game Launcher settings, whilst watching the video. Playback was then perfect! No dropped frames, completely smooth, like it should be. The other alternative was to use software decoding but then colours would appear muted and battery life takes a huge hit.
So what's the deal here? Is the CPU or GPU not kicking in / being throttled whenever I launch a video player app? I'm assuming this is the case as the screen recorder seems to boost playback performance once I activate it. I'm on the June update and I'm not sure if this bug was introduced recently (I never tested 4K playback until now).
Owners of this particular model, could you please confirm if you are having this issue? Try watching a 4K video with lots of action and camera panning movements - that's where you can detect dropped frames or stuttering easily. I could provide the file I'm using for reference but it's a clip from a movie and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share it here.
Okay since no one has replied and moderators on the Samsung forums are busy removing my posts - try this clip for example, it's 4K HDR encoded in H.265 / HEVC, I don't know if that makes a difference:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/m83ftn7n8d8le2s/Plane_Crash_Scene.mp4/file
Stutters in the default video player app for me. One thing to note is that it's smooth in portrait mode, but the moment you rotate into landscape fullscreen, it starts dropping frames. Now, turn on the screen recorder from within game tools and the stutters are mostly eliminated. What gives?
Another way to compare would be with a video player that lets you switch between hardware and software decoding, like MX Player. Watch the clip in HW mode and then switch to SW - it's choppier in HW mode for whatever reason. Using SW is not an option as the colours are not displayed properly and battery drain is much higher.
Regarding the clip - if it's against the rules to post such content, let me know and I'll remove it. There's a whole YouTube channel full of this stuff, I don't want to link to those as the problem I'm encountering is related to local video playback.
One last try before I sign off Here's another example if anyone has YouTube Vanced (google vanced.app for those unaware). I'm suggesting Vanced because the original YouTube app doesn't let you view at 4K resolution.
Firstly, open Vanced and tap the account icon in the upper right. Go to settings, Vanced settings, Video settings and then toggle Resolution Checks to ON. Refresh and restart the app.
Now open Game Launcher, tap the three dots in the upper right > Add apps and add YouTube Vanced to the list. We're doing this for the screen recording function which I'll mention later.
Once that's done, here's a 4K 60fps clip for you to try. It should be easier to perceive any hiccups with the higher frame rate. And of course, please set the resolution to 2160p (tap the three dots in the upper right) and watch in landscape orientation, since this is what the test is all about:

Panning shots work best. For reference, see the one of the step trail at 2:42 in the video. Does it look like it's stuttering or dropping frames intermittently?
Now, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to show the navigation bar (you need the navigation bar enabled to use the recording function) and tap on Game Tools, which is the leftmost button. Tap Record.
While the screen is recording, are the stutters now gone? To my eyes, the video is definitely smoother while the recorder is active. Appreciate any feedback from those willing to try (and confirm if I'm insane or not!) - cheers!
