Long story short. I transferred a video (3gp) from BFs Evo to my galaxy. I put it in my downloads folder so it would show up in my gallery. When I go to my gallery, I can see the preview for the video, I click it and it says its unable to play. I think the video is like 40mb. Could this be the issue? Let me know if I've left anything out! Thanks!
Try using rock player from the market

I am on CM9 Beta 1 and when I try on any browser to download a music or video file (no matter what site) it only gives me the option to play the video or music clip in the stock video player or music player. I ran into this problem once before and just found and deleted the video player and music player but when I tried to do that this time I could not find the video or music player anywhere in the root explorer. I can't even be sure that deleting them will sove my problem. I've asked before but no one seems to understand what I mean. I hope i've made it completely clear what the problem is. My question is, can anyone help me figure out how to either disable the players or find a way around them to be able to download music and videos on my phone again? Thank you in advance
Sounds like you went to download some music or video in the past, and selected the "do this by default" option set on your browser, you may want to clear data on the browser, and whatever app it opens when you try to download. That should help.

I've tried that too. No matter what browser I use the same thing happens. and as for the video and music player. They're not even in the app list. it's like they're ghost apps! lol but seriously thank you for the suggestion though
I reinstalled everything and i'm able to download music and files again. Video is still only giving me the option to watch and not download. it wouldn't be an issue but i used to like downloading and then watching videos instead of having it buffering every 3 seconds.
Does anyone know how to force inline YouTube videos in the stock browser to open in the YouTube app instead of flash?
I hate the full screen flash view of YouTube. Everything is tiny and a little laggy.
If the YouTube video has a YouTube icon on the lower right of the video (some don't), then you can click on that and it will take you to the YouTube app.

thanks but I tried a bunch of webpages and none have that youtube icon. I've seen it before so I now what you are talking about.

It's surprising to me that using the stock browser to watch a google-owned youtube video in full screen results in such a disaster: it's virtually impossible to tap the button you want.
Try going to apps>browser>clear defaults then navigate to a video
in the browser. Does it let you choose a default for videos then? Only guess I have...

I still get that menu when I click on a youtube link. The problem is with the inline players that show up with flash.
No solution to this?
Hi guys,
im also a proud owner of a note 2 since yesterday, stepping up from a s3.
But i have a little problem witch i cant solve or understand by my self.
The problem:
When downloading, lets say an episode from a tv show threw aTorrent and it had completed download i cant find it in the video player app, it is like it is hasnt updated it yet.
When i go manualy threw my file folders i CAN find.
So it is in there.
The only way now to update the video player is to, or reboot the Note2 or wait for 30 some minutes before it shows in the video player library.
I didnt had this problem with the S3 as it updated the library almost instantly.
Is this a known bug? Or am i doing something wrong?
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks allot guys!

Never had this problem, i throw my episodes (arround 1gig each, HD) just on my External and Internal SD and its instantly in the video player, try force closing the video player and reopen it, maybe it does refresh then.
When I download picture messages, sometimes it takes a minute or so to show up in the gallery, so I know what the OP is speaking about. Not sure how to fix it though. I just clear RAM and check the gallery until it shows in there.
I have the exact same issue .

I have the same issue since s3 and I feel it's a bug from jelly bean. Bug is that media is not updated in the gallery. The only solution I found is to run the media scanner again. The easiest way is the "scan media" app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5kY2Quc2Nhbm1lZGlhIl0.
Just run it once after you download anything, after a couple of minutes, media will appear in gallery.
Thank you so much guys!
Glad to here it is a bug of some kind.
Now with the scan media app as sohebq has mentioned i can directly update the library with succes.
Lets hope this bug will be fixed in the next update.
Thnx again fellow geeks

Follow-up Question: Download Resolution
As a follow-up question on Tubemate:
I've been using Tubemate for about 5 months now and absolutely love it. One thing I've noticed, though, is that sometimes when I download a video at full resolution, it doesn't play very well in any video player I have tried (stock TW Video Player, MXPlayer, VLC). The video will play for a certain length (sometimes 1/2 the video, sometimes 3/4 of it) and the video will freeze (sound continues) and then the video will restart from the beginning. If I skip ahead of the "freeze point" the video continues fine.
I know that Tubemate downloads the files in sections and stitches it together (think of old-school r.00 and r.01 files), so it sounds like the problem is that the particular section the "freeze point" is in was corrupt. If I download the video in a different format (or redownload it at the original resolution) it sometimes works better.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with Tubemate downloads.

I've had this issue before.. It happens. Sometimes I go to the download folder and make sure its really at a 100%. But I figure its the video codecs on the phone.. sometimes they just hitch a part and its all downhill from there. But tubemate is by far the best. not only do you not have to deal with ads, it gives you options to select which video size you want which is always a plus

I believe its because our phones are 1280x720 and if you download at 1920x1080 then your phone can't play it cause it can't handle it. Its the same for me. As for everyone else.

Is this app even pushing 720p?? It looks more like the HQ you get on 3G instead of the HD on WiFi.
I have the WiFi only N7.

To be honest I don't think the youtube app has ever pushed proper 720p let alone 1080p when the HD option was checked.
If you want, you can use a modded version of the old youtube app that allows you to select 720p/1080p and has other tweaks such as screen off playback and the ability to download the videos.
Search google for "youtube modded apk" and it should be the first link from XDA. (I can't post links yet)
As far as I know the only functionality you lose is the floating window thing but personally I don't really see the use in that myself.
Check this video out! I thought it looked great!

Not just the playback but the whole app are so blown up, you can only see 2 huge thumbnails at a time
The new Youtube app messes up the video quality. You can fix it by downgrading (uninstall updates in app info).
