Galaxy S5 :: Buttons / Mini Controller Not Showing Up In Video Player?
Apr 29, 2015
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and the default (stock) video player app is giving me some problems. A few days ago the video player stopped displaying the mini controller (play/pause, rewind, forward) at the bottom of the screen and I can no longer swipe to control volume or brightness like I used to. It does this for all types of videos, whether they are my own or ones streaming from the internet. How can I get this feature back? I'm not sure what I did to make it go away!
I'm looking for a free player of video stream file but seems dont exist.Someone told me that Real Player is already installed in N97 mini but my N97 mini don't have this software, ca you explain?
I just uploaded a movie (*.m4v) to my phone in a directory I made called movies on my SD and the video player can't find it. It only says 'No Videos' How come? I even tried to move the movie to the / but that didn't help.When I use a file explorer there is no problem finding the movies and playing them, but the phones movie player can't find them. how I can get the movie player to list my movies so I can play them without using a file explorer to find the movies first?
I've been downloading music with uTorrent for a while now with no issues. I download the music and it defaults to my download folder on the device. I then manually move it to the SD card and everything is great. Now suddenly when I move it to the SD card, it won't show up in the music app. If I leave it on the device it is fine but once I move it to my music folder on the SD card, it won't show up.
I am using the stock music app but I checked the Google play music app and it doesn't show up there either. The only way I can get it to show up is to plug into my computer, copy the folder to it and then put it in my iTunes. Then I have to copy it from iTunes folder back to the SD card and it shows up. I've also tried unmounting, removing and remounting the SD card and that worked as well. Both of those solutions are super irritating, especially since it has been working great for ages and now is just not working all of a sudden.
Starting last week I noticed when I watch a video that my controls are gone when I have playback. I found out that the phone locks the controls away so I have to press the power button to unlock but my question is how do I turn off the lock all together. It's really starting to annoy me. And save the why don't you install a 3rd party comments.
So my co-worker has a Galaxy S5. When he goes to play a video from the stock gallery app the actual video plays in a split window and the other half is just the gallery. There is a white dot in the middle but when I press it there is no Maximize icon like on my Note 4. There are three icons and one of them puts the video into a smaller floating window. No matter what we have tried he cannot play the video full screen. I tried to replicate this on my Note 4 using the stock gallery app and the stock video player. I can't get it to do the same thing or how to fix his S5 so he can view videos using the full display. It appears that one side is the video selector and the other side actually plays the video. I had him download MX Player and when he goes to the gallery, selects a video, then chooses MX as the player, the video still plays in a separate window.
Having trouble playing video from browsers with an external player, or even changing the internal player? I've tried Dolphin, Chrome, and stock browsers, and MX and stock players. But I can't even get an option to play outside the browsers as I did on my trusty old CM driven S4! Is it a Lollipop issue?
Is there anyway to change the settings on the video player?
Here is my proplem. when i select the video icon (the one that looks like a film strip) and start playing the video plays but then after it is done it plays the next one right after the one i played.
Is there a way to change the settings so it plays only the video i select?
After updating my S5 to lollipop, the music player controls on my lock screen are no longer visible. I have to unlock my phone every time in order to skip songs and pause/play.
Doing a quick little review on what I personally believe is the best video player for the Atrix 2.
After messing around with several video players, the list includes the following
[code]...
I had some avi files that were choppy in every video player and the only media player that played them smoothly using software compression was MX Player. Also I noticed that MX player would allow you to software decode video and audio seperatly, meaning you can use hardware decode for video and software decode for audio.
I stupidly thought that the ICS upgrade would get this bluetooth controller to work with the Onlive app on my SGSII. Whilst it pairs and does control the phone, it seems to be random movements as all sorts of random mayhem begins as soon as you press any of the buttons. I'm going to investigate this a little more but has anyone else tried this? I have an HDMI output and the idea of my little phone being a portable games console capable of playing games ike Arkham City is too much for the technophile in me, especially as I travel a lot.
This is my first post and I'm new to the Galaxy S2. I took ownership of a new phone early this week (S2) and did the firmware upgrade over Kies - this seemed to make sense given that it was the official latest release firmware.
I tried to use BBC iPlayer last night. The first time I ran it, it said I needed Flash. It took me to the market and I downloaded Adobe Flash 11.0. I tried iPlayer again. All the menus, navigation etc work, but when I select a program it doesn't show any video. I don't even get the little triangle to click on to play it. I went to the iPlayer website and tried viewing from there - I assume that uses Flash as well, and all worked fine, video and sound.
how to make this controller work with the Galaxy S6?When plugged in nothing happens. Tried pairing couple of times. Still nothing.Tested the same setup on my GS5 and it connected right away.
why is the video player differnt beteween xoom and X. on my X i have no problem playing videos from websights. But on the Xoom i need to buy a player to watch my videos. why cant they be same. also why cant i use bt headset to listen to my videos.
When users send me pictures, my S6 edge chooses to play them as videos, so i have to wait for the picture to pop up, and when it does its super tiny. Any settings I can use to fix this?
The capacitive buttons are garbage in my opinion and I constantly accidentally hit them. Not to mention they are backwards. I would like to disable them completely and enable the soft buttons like on the Nexus 5. Is this possible?
I can play the files through the file manager but not the google play or the default music player. I have even downloaded third party music players with no luck. I tried moving the files around to the default music folder, and even the folder with the samsung song that came with the phone. No luck.
My last phone (nexus 4) recognized the files instantly, even found the album art and organized all of them no matter where the files were located. I really don't understand what the problem is, I thought this was supposed to be an upgrade.
Would putting the files on a micro SD card work at all?
I have an issue when using my Musicplayer app. When I either turning up or down the Volume the player pauses the Music. Sometimes it starts by itself again after for example 30 sec. Otherwise I have to go to the musicplayer and push the play button again.
I couldn't get Nokia Stereo Headset WH-205 buttons working in Music player. Anyone know how to enable the buttons on the headset. I want to use the play/stop/FW/BW buttons on the headset
I only have purchased songs on my iPhone. The music player has jammed--won't play anything. I can see the songs but the play/pause button does nothing. I can advance to the next song (still doesn't play) but I can't move back to the previous song. I've tried resetting to no avail.
When Pandora is running, my phone won't show the Pandora Pause/Forward widget/buttons. The background changes to the album art, but no widget functionality. My built in music player still shows it's widget and is fully functional so it's not a global "disable widgets" setting (if there even is one). I have uninstalled/re-installed Pandora multiple times.
ever since the 2.3.4. update i found my button hard buttons stay lit when watching videos. they used to time out after a min or two but now never time out. is this normal now and is there a way to shut them off when watching videos at night. it is annoying that they stay lit especially at night. i do not have the dx2 in a doc when watching the videos. just have it on wifi and watching cnet tv and Internet stuff.
I have X10 mini pro and was wondering if there is any way to take video out of the screen to stream it over projector either by bluetooth or micro USB support. Also any chances of netflix access through the existing browser?
I'm having a problem with the slide-out keyboard on my Xperia Mini Pro. Most of the buttons on the top row have stopped working, so I can no longer type the following letters: Q E R Y U O. This renders the keyboard useless. They all suddenly stopped working at the same time, so my guess is that its probably software related? I'm running Android 2.1 update 1.
I have a Sony Ericsson X10 mini and my problems stared last week. The phone was really slow, and just unlock the phone took 1 minute! Few hours after that the Touchscreen didn't respond and the buttons didn't work, just the lock button, and when I try to power the phone off it just come 3 alternatives Quiet mode, Flight mode and shut down, but I can't get further it just ends there and i waited 1 day to empty the battery and to update it, and i just can't update it because i can't get to the menu and put it in USB mode and the back button don't work so what should I do?
