WM6 WMP11 Video Fullscreen Problem
Whenever I choose to go into fullscreen while watching a video on windows media player... it turns the video sideways... so it's the correct viewing if you turn the phone to the right if you're holding it in front of you. any fix? this wasn't happening in the beta... i remember there being a fix for the mda... but u could always change the orientation of the mda...
help? thanks!
i've had the same problem wondering if anyone knows the tips to fix it! appreciated!
I started 2 other treads about this issue at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305020
and also in HF:

I'll let you know if I find a solution for it.
yeah man, please let me know if you find a fix to this. no one else is having this problem? I'm using orb too btw... thanks!
I'm having the same issue. WM6 downloaded off T-Mobile's site for the Dash. Win Media player orients fullscreen video vertically.

It only happens with streaming video. If you play a local video (storage card) in full screen it works fine.
question about Video!!
is it possible to view videos on websites such as youtube on wm6? I don't see why it isn't possible just was wondering if im not seeing the correct method to it???
Regular videos can be viewed no problem, are you having issues with them? YouTube uses flash to display the movies, so it's a little different. You can try downloading the Flash Player Lite :

I haven't tried it on the Dash, but you'll need something like that to watch YouTube videos. Backup your Dash before installing as always. Good luck!!

I don't think anyone's been able to get youtube to work on the Dash yet. The FlashLite adobe product only works for sites that are explicitely written to take advantage of it...and the number of sites any of us has ever found that do that: zero.
You can stream in and/or download videos from tinytube.net. That site seems to be some sort of proxy that reads/converts video from youtube into a format that can be viewed on the Dash. Works well.

getwsted at HF found a solution for the screen rotation issue:
Add the following Key "Rotation" under HKLM\System\GDI\
e.g. [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Then Add this dword.

Glad you found it -- if you'd attempted a quick search here, you'd find that info had been posted weeks ago, and, you're just a quick search away from a wealth of info on how to edit the registry.

i searched, and still cant find out how to do registry edits. i'm really not interested in doing registry edits, just that one to fix the landscape thing, so if somebody could please put a step by step directions on how to do it, i'd appreciate it. btw, i just downloaded total commander, thanks
omar
ok, i'm playing around with total commander, and i found HKLM\System\GDI\. so wat do i do now? do i scroll down in that folder to the add value selection? or do i go to file and then edit? and where do i add the landscape=0 thing? under that new folder that i just made, rotation? and do i put it as:
"landscapemode"=0 or landscapemode=0? thanks guys
omar
this cab will install the registry entry
you tha man, thanks a lot
problem with playing videos on dash
hey guys, for some reason my dash cant play videos that i add through media player. any videos on there right now play fine, but when i try to open a video i just put on the storage card (through active sync), it says: cant find "name of file" make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libaries are available.
anybody know how to fix this? thanks...
btw, when looking at the file on file explorer, the symbol for it it is a white paper with a flapping window inside...
Hi all,
One of the best things of the SGS for me is not having to convert anything. I watch a lot of tv shows with my phone.
There is no way, at least none that I'm aware of, to display the name of the file under the thumbnail, so I'm forced to open a video just to know its name.
Is there a way or an app that would let me display the name of the file before opening it?
That silly feature would make worth paying for a gallery app from where I stand.

Only way to do it is to select the file them click on more and then details. Been looking for a good gallery replacement but havent found one yet.....
I didn't think of that. But it's still faster to open the vids one by one.
You can also create a video shortcut in the homescreen and you'll get to the videos by name. But you won't get them by folders, so it mixes up shows with camera videos.
Or open it with myfiles and go to the folder and open from there. I wonder if you can create a shortcut to a folder on the home screen.
All workarounds.
Why not use the Video Player app that came with the phone?.... show name and thumbnails

With the release of the S!!! im finally hoping to see my dream come true of having google navigation in a floating window so i can see the nav and pandora/other apps at the same time, anyone have any idea if this will be a possiblity (since it seems that it will initially only support playing videos from the media player :? ) Any ideas?
theres apps available already i believe that allow you to do this
ill do a quick search and link them on here.
EDIT: heres one
STICK IT (Pop up Player
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5teWJveWZyaWVuZGlzYWdlZWsuc3RpY2tpdCJd
THis one helps as well

Sounds like this app is for people with ADD. Or is it the Stick It video.

Im aware of the ability to watch video on the s3 and the apps that attempt to replicate that currently available, but my question was if the s3 software would be able to be modified to open other types of content (ie google nav) in a window, and not just video from the media player. any idea?
bump, got to activate a couple s3's at work (sprint rep/tech) and the windowing feature is really smooth but is only available to video opened from the media player any idea of theres/ will be a way to open other apps to that feature?
Tried searching but didn't find this question.
I have made picture video with music of my little girl to leave with her for one day.
I have used DVD Catalyst 4 to convert them. It says the specs are converted to 1280x720. When I watch them on the phone the pictures are cropped at the top and bottom so I can't see all the picture.
The video looks perfect while playing on the computer.
So does anyone know of a different, ????x???, screen size so the pictures match my compter?
Thanks so much if you can help.

Hi Antonio,
Thank you for using DVD Catalyst,
Check the player you are using on your Samsung Galaxy S3. It could be that it is set to some Zoom setting that cuts off the video.
The files that DVD Catalyst 4 creates should play in all the video players, so you might want to try the Gallery app and/or the Google Videos app as well, and see if that makes a difference.
If that doesn't help, it is probably easier to just send me an email directly. Just tap on the "email us" button in DVD Catalyst, or use dvdcatalyst at gmail dot com.

Thanks,
No matter what video player I tried, BS Player, Stock video player, Rock Player, the zoom button did nothing at all on all 3.
Could not get it so I tried the drag and drop and let the phone convert it and it turned out perfect.
I just read some people are having issues with this method about the video not playing so I never tried it.
Hope you’re doing well. So I bought Samsung active 2 around a month back, and I am trying to install an YouTube app which will play videos. Surprisingly, I didn’t find any app in Samsung store. I tried to browse the videos through Samsung internet but only half of the videos will play and remaining videos will not play. I am just wondering how you are guys playing YouTube on your watch.

Not sure if I’m only facing this issue. On Samsung internet I can only play videos from home page. And I can’t play videos from the search. May I know if it’s working for you?

My observation was that videos over 30mins tend to either load slow or not start at all, regardless of video quality but the ones under 30mins start instantly. Quality for the density and the size given of the Super AMOLED (360 x 360) display is crisp clear and the amoled colors shine really nice with the *seriously deep pitch black color*
Perfect for short videos while *on the go* :good:
Edit: i will check and update regarding playing videos from search, can' t remember atm.
