SD card and/or video playback issues? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had the 8.4 since 6/27 and every day I've had it freeze on playback of videos. I am using MX Player Pro and Gplayer and both will be able to play a file fine one moment then after time the video will freeze and I am no longer able to play any file of the SD card even if I close the player app and restart it. The video files are 720p MKV files with no custom codec for MX Player Pro (hardware + decoding) and software decoding (for the audio) for Gplayer. The only way to get it working again is if I unmount the SD card and re-mount it. After re-mounting the SD card the files are able to play from either player normally.
I've done a factory reset on the tablet and reformatted the micro SD card but the problem keeps happening. I never had a problem with the same SD card and videos on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 so I do not think the mirco SD card is the issue.
Anyone else having issues with playing video of their micro SD cards? I am not sure if I should just return it or try and exchange it if there is a problem with the SD slot? I am guessing there might be some problem with software though since unmounting and remounting or rebooting seems to fix the issue
Might be when the tablet goes to sleep and I have MX Player Pro or Gplayer running. Like it shuts down acces to the SD card or something. I will try copying the same video file locally and try playing it when the SD card becomes unresponsive. Just wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue because I love the screen and the smaller size but it's kind of annoying to have it freeze up.

Mod, please delete thread. I exchanged the tablet and the new one has no issues with the SD card.

Sd card disappears when playing music with screen off

I recently a brought a new 8gb lexar sd card after my 8gb sandisk died on me ealier this week. It died before in my old xv6800 and I was able to reformat it & use it. I think the culprit is the music folder but I am not sure. I can play music with the screen on and not have a problem with CorePlayer (ver 1.3.6) or Windows Media Player. Whenever I play music with the screen off, it plays for a few minutes then shuts off. I have the Touch Diamond screen off app installed too. Running stock rom.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? And possible fixes for it?

Music Issue

Hello,
I tried to play a song in the music tab, by clicking library and the song, after I did that my device just got stuck I needed to take the battery out to restore it.
Now every time I go to the music tab my device freezes
what should I do?
Sincerely
Simtrax
all i got
i would cut down on how many songs u have the more u have the longer it takes for the system to pick up. hints the freezing. thats what i did then i hated only having a few songs so i went and just took the music tab off and i leave windows media player running in the back ground works great screw that tab!
If you have your music library stored on your SD card, you may have either a faulty track (or several), and/or the SD card itself is to blame.
Sometimes using a repair program to scan and fix the SD card (lots of free ones out there) can make a difference, but sometimes you just need to re-format the SD card. Remember too that not all SD cards are created equally. A slower SD card can hang up with constant access, such as streaming music or video.
But if you have your music installed on the phone's internal memory -- I dunno...

Galaxy S3 random shutdown during video playback

So I have a Sandisk 32GB Class 10 Micro SD attached to my phone.
It can play music files, record videos and capture Photos without a hitch.
Problem happens only when I start video playback. 30% of the time, when playing a video the video playback hangs up in the middle and the phone reboots itself.
Does it sound more like a memory card issue (which I hope so)? or more of a phone issue? I did a factory reset on my phone my phone and that doesn't seem to help.
Couple of things I'm planning to try:
re-format the memory card and try again. Should I try formatting the card from my phone or from a PC?
Record video to the internal phone memory and playback see if the hangup comes back again.
Try a 32GB class4 sandisk card which I posses(recommended?)
The reason for this thread is....are there any known issues using sandisk class 10 32GB card on the phone? or any class 10 32GB card in general? Please share your thoughts!
I've not had any issues with mine and I have the same one. Try a different video player and then maybe reformat the card. Seems odd to be only 30% of the time

Weird problem with stock video player when playing video via SD Card! What's up?

Never needed a third party video player tbh, until for last two days I am noticing this very weird problem. See I was watching season 1 of The Big Bang Theory, and say the first episode, which is 22 minutes 38 seconds. Now when I watch it with the stock video player everything is fine till 22 minutes 25 seconds, then it just freezes and a pop up, 'can't play this video'! I don't know what nonsense is this, but I have tried to format my SanDisk 32GB Ultra both in FAT32 and exFAT, but same! When I copy the same file in phone memory then it plays fine, but not from the SD card. And if I play that video on my Desktop via the SD card, it plays fine too. Don't know what's going on. So I installed MX Player, didn't have any hope, but it played it fine. But I would very much like to know what's the problem, is the SD card, or anything else?
Everything else I have tried so far works fine from SD card though, say some movies, and videos, but only that series (all the episodes!).
So has any one of you faced same issue? What did you do then?
Thanks in advance.
PS: This is the file I was trying to play, if that helps,
And this is the error I am getting,
That's really odd, did you find any info on logs?

MicroSD 64GB problem/Issue!

I just bought a kingstone 64GB MicroSD card for my Note II . When I loaded my music (mp3 files) onto the card, but when I whant to play the music suddenly an error message would pop up saying "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file". Then it would start skipping from song to song, looking for a file it could play. I had to force quit the music player to keep it from continually skipping songs. I tried unmounting and reformatting the card (Fat32), but the same problem kept happening. Then I decided to put all my music on the phone's internal memory, and now it works just fine. Did I just get a bad card or did I mount/configure it wrong when I put it in?
sorry if it has been talked about this issue , but as far as I searched have not found anything helpful
I ahve the same issue with my microSD card. It seems a lot of the time that this happens with SanDisk ones, but mine's a Samsung one. Would hope there's some other solution other than an RMA...
