[Q] MX Player to Buffer Web Videos - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI,
I shifted to note 2 a month back and noticed this issue. On my atrix 2 whenever i buffered a video (say from IMDB) it used to play in mx player. But in GN2 that is on jelly bean it starts up in some some crappy player imbedded in the website i think. Even the imdb app plays the videos in some absurd player. Videos from the facebook app somehow go to MX player.
So the question is: Is there any way to make the mx player play these videos. The other players lack gesture controls and thats a must for me.
I have already tried clearing the data of the default player but it didn't help at all.

Yeah go to app manager and select video player. Then click clear defaults. Now try to play video.

Utkarsh bhai.. as i already said i have cleared all the data. There are no defaults set right now. Can u give IMDB a try on your phone and see which player it chooses?
Thanks for replying though :good:

BUMP!!!!
Anybody please??

Playing video on CM7

Is there a way to play video on CM7? I have Rock Player installed to play .avi movies. But they don't seem to be working. Does anyone know a solution.

You should try arcMedia on the market....I can play .avi files with it
I downloaded and tried it. The video still won't play. It's like something is blocking it. It looks like it's gonna start but then it kicks me back out of the app.

VPlayer.
How fast is your MicroSDHC card? I know I have problems with high-def video on the card that came with the phone. I hear that faster cards have better results.

Also what type of video are you trying to play? I've had some issues with some formats...
I'm trying to play .avi files. They usually play fine with Rock Player.

Can not play any video in CM7
If you use rockplayer in software decode mode, it will work... I was having the same issue..

What codec? What resolution? What bitrate?
I'm having the same problem, it looks like its going to start then back to the root of my SD. video format is not an issue because the same videos worked with the same version of rock player on MIUI, CM6, and stock.
So what's the best player that plays avi format files with CM7 rom?
VPlayer works fine for me. Been watching DivX DVDRips all the time with it.

The best player is PowerAmp!

Not going to lie, PowerAMP was my first purchase on the Android Market and I am extremely happy with it.
The best feature for me is the ability to view my songs as folders since I already have my music organized by artist/album and I don't need the library. Anyone who's using their phone as an mp3 definitely needs to try it.

[Q] Pop up video only compatible with native video player?

I was just wondering if the pop up video feature on the galaxy note 2 is compatible with only the native video player or is there a mod to allow it to work with even video apps ? Thanks !

If you want something similar for it that works with YouTube try Popcorn Player
There's a few that are pop up. DICE player is what I was using on my GSII, I believe it's the same company that made the one for the Note II. There is also another one that'll do youtube pop up playback but I didn't like the integration so I don't use it anymore.

Any chance pop up can be initiated from a movie watched through the native web browser or any web browser or can it only work with video player apps mentioned? Thanks for all your responses! I appreciate it.

I haven't tried it, but I run Mobo Player as my primary video app. It has a Pop Up player and I believe it can play streaming videos etc. Although I never tried the pop up with streaming videos. I'll try if I get a chance. Is there a specific page/site to try?
Theses an APP call WorldStar HipHop That uses the defualt video Player and can use the Pop up play Option

i used mxplayer but switched to diceplayer as it lets you play in pop-out video while checking e-mail etc
BSplayer can play video in "external mode", so everywhere, while you are surfing, reading email etc... and you can resize, pause or clse the video.
MXplayer doesnt provide this feature.

I found Dice WITH the use of an externel ffmpeg lib (nathan118 to be more specific) to be the best one for me (read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769799)

DicePlayer is my favourite. Smooth and you can activate Plugins if you need to.

I use BS Player because it read everything well and has a LAN Mode. But the UI is horrible.
My combo: BSplayer (soft decode) for WMV + DICE Player for everything else

(Fix) Saving YouTube videos to scrapbook

I don't know if it's been posted here, but some of you may have noticed that updating the YouTube app completely messed up saving a video to scrapbook. It just saved the screenshot and you would have to uninstall the YouTube update to get it to work.
To get the videos to save on your scrapbook all you have to do is click the share button on YouTube and select scrapbook. Now the videos play within scrapbook.
I don't know if I'm just an idiot for not trying that in the first place, but just posting this to maybe help out someone who hasn't figured it out yet.
