It seemed advertised as watch vid in small window and read something, normally it's not possible to have 2 vids with the built in player but it can be done via a Live Event and Sling Player

I had a curious incident with youtube today. I was out and about in town and had this desire to watch a White Stripes video. When I looked for it on the youtube app, the only videos that came up were live versions of the song or people doing covers. When I came home and looked it up online with my computer, the video I wanted to see was the first video in the search result. IN fact, the first four videos on the search result were the same video. Is there a reason why the app wouldn't return the same results as the browser from a computer?

hi,
well... i'm the strange one, but while everyone is complaining about not able to get real full screen in some cases when you play a video, i'm on the other side, i'm looking for a video player where i could watch videos like how youtube looks like in tablet mode, when you can see other thumbnails next to your video.
before call me crazy, let me explain :cyclops: i love my nexus, i've bought it mainly for its screen, and it is great - but sadly... only when you have hd feed, (oh i love it in hd, and real full screen is great)
unfortunately i do have a lot of music video from the web, and some are really low res. i did change the audio tracks from lossless sources, but couldn't find the videos in better quality, so when i playback my favorite mv's, most of them look awful on the big screen over larged 200% or sometimes 300% :crying: i can of course playback in real size on full screen so the quality is not too bad, but it looks really weird - the big black screen with a tiny video at the center. on the other hand when i watch them on youtube (without playing in full screen) they look ok more or less, the other thumbnails next to the now playing one fill up the empty space.
i'm not sure if such a player exist, but again, i often think something is impossible, then later i find it.
does anyone know something?
Okay this might not be what exactly you are looking for but I think what you really want is a video player where you can resize the playing window so that if the video you are watching happens to be low quality, you can resize it to a smaller frame. In that case try the app Super Video by GPC on the market. It's basically a floating window video player and when you are playing a video, you can resize the window to any size you want. Hope that's useful.

thanks for the tip, it is not bad at all, it would be close enough.
sadly it won't play smoothly. i did install the sw decoder pack or whatever was the name and now plays my files, but the audio is a bit async, and the video freezes or get blocks all over the screen, look like when a slow pc tries to play full hd files... also it takes 10 mins to load 23 thumbnails, then when i close the app, and reopen it starts again, navigating amongst the videos also freezes the app, have no idea what it is. i have mx player, it plays 720p movies smoothly, but these low quality mv's should not be a problem for any player
any idea?
Hmm I haven't really tested this app a lot so I'm afraid I can't help you. I used it to play some videos which I took with the phone's camera and it played fine. If I have to guess then it probably has problems with certain codices and you might be able to fix the problem by reencoding the videos with a different format, but that might be more trouble than it's worth.

i reinstalled it with the codecs as well, and now plays well
but something is still not perfect, because when i played one video, and wanted to start the next one, it froze - totally, i had to remove the battery...
anyway, i keep trying, but now i know at least that it's possible, just seen on youtube that galaxy s3 have this feature by default
thanks again
Ok, I was watching Netflix on my Xbox360 and playing around on my Note. Moving some pics around in my gallery when I noticed a strange icon in the top right corner "change player". Tapped the icon and next thing you now my Netflix stopped and my pic was being displayed on my TV! I didn't even set up anything... they're just sharing the same Wifi!
So I had to test it with a movie and sure enough the video player had the same icon... streamed a movie to my TV through my Xbox360 without a hiccup. Pretty sweet...
I was aware of Allshare but this was crazy easy!
Was allshare even open when u realized this?
Samsung Galaxy Note II
I could do this on my galaxy s3 also.... Though it works better with my Note

Noticed it only plays streaming videos, or mp4. Mkv (hd, blu-ray) files will not play.

Allshare was not open at the time. Its built into the video player and gallery. Works much better than on the gs2.

Haha! Awesome!

After I read this post I tried it as well. Thanks for the heads up.

I just finished watching the Samsung demo for the Note II to try to get some pointers. I noticed that the gallery shows animated thumbnails for videos. How do I enable this feature?
Solved it. It wasn't the gallery that had animated thumbnails. It is the video player.
That is one of my demos when I show people my Note 2. I fire up the stock video player app and they can see a screen full of movie thumbnails all playing at once. Bow down to the quad core!
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.
