Facebook video stops for no reason - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I play Facebook videos using the official Facebook app. It will always stop upon the first start.
Meaning when I tap play it will play for 0.5 seconds and then stop. I have to tap it again so it would play. Its not a huge thing but its kinda irritating. Anyone knows why?

Random music playing

I've got the application gPOD installed which is a music downloader app.
I don't know if it's this app or the stock app but sometimes I will get random music play (if im on the home page for example). But nothing shows up in notification as playing so I can't even stop the music.

try going into settings>applications and force closing each one at a time to see which stops the music. then you will know

Google Play downloading music to device automatically

I just got the nexus 4 and I realize that anytime I upload a music track to Google Play I see it downloading on my phone. It says keeping requested music but I didn't request it to be kept. Anyone know why this is happening? I thought Google Play streamed the music.
Go to settings on the Google Play music app and uncheck all the boxes so it won't sync.

Facebook Sync & Music player question

Anyone know of a good sync app which can sync my Facebook contact photos with my contacts in the people app?
Also are there any music apps which can display current playing track in the notification bar but that also offers buttons to skip tracks? I am using winamp currently which is good but doesn't offer skip buttons.
Thanks

HaxSync for Facebook, and what's wrong with the default Play Music app? That has play controls in the notification menu.

So it does. Never noticed that before.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Video Player

I like the stock Video Player on the S4. It has a feature where you can play a movie, and press power and it puts the screen into a LOCK mode where it must be unlocked by clicking on a lock icon for any part of the screen or buttons to function.
I would like to have a player like this on my Nexus to prevent my kids from closing movies, launching other apps etc.
Anyone know if this can be ported or if there is another app that works like this?
Don't think you can use it since its from Samsung and won't work on AOSP. I may be wrong though.

MX Player on Google Play may be a suitable alternative for you. You can download a plugin called Kid Lock or something like that (also on Google Play) which will lock the screen. Install both and see if they work.

Moto x quick capture problems

ok, so i recently just got my new moto x and its perfect besides these 2 problems im having with the quick capture feature and playing music from touchless control.
The first is playing music i would tell google now to play a song e.x" ok google now. play tunnel vision" it would pull the command up and tell me" playing tunnel vision by JT" then it loads it to google play music app but instead of playing the song it just does a search in the app and not play it. its really a hit or miss with this feature as i got it to work for about 10mins but then the problem reemerged. Through some searching i found that the touchless control problem is a bug apparently. any verifcation on this would help alot.
the other problem is with the quick capture feature in the phone. ive practiced the motion many times with flicking your wrist and have gotten it to do it multiple consecutive times but i can only do this if ive previously manually opened the camera app. e.x the gesture wont work at all if i havent previously opened the app no matter how many times i twist the device but when i either open the camera unlocked or from the lock screen the quick capture starts to work perfectly everytime time i twist. is anyone else having these problems or does anyone have solutions?
I can't get the music to start right either. The first time I tried it asked which app to use. I selected PowerAmp. Now it starts PowerAmp but doesn't start the song.
As for the camera, I hold the phone in my hand and then make a quick movement like I'm trying to flick a booger off my finger and it works everytime. : )
I've heard others mention that with playing the music, you have to select whether you want to use Google Play. I've never used the feature because I do all my music through Pandora, but you may need to select Google Play Store or Google Play Music app to play stuff on your device.
As for the camera motion, I was confused about it at first for quite a while. I was "twisting" the device by holding it vertically in portriat mode and rotating my wrist left or right (turing the phone clockwise or counterclockwise while still keeping it vertical).
Once I figured out that you flick it side to side (turn the device to face left/right quickly) instead of rotating, it works every time.
About the TC problem I've already selected Google play music to play the songs but it doesn't play the songs just uses the search in the music player. Its weird cuz it worked for a while but then just stopped
And I'll try motion u suggested hope it works and thanks

Could also try going to the Google Search or Google Play Music app settings and click the "clear defaults" button.
The motion you told me does seem to work better now thanks!
Clearing defaults isn't available for me to press saying I don't have any set
