[Q] Video thumbnails - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

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!

[Q] Problem with playing recorded videos

Hi all, this is my first post ever on XDA.
I'm using the[ROM][Cool3D Sense 3.0][14 June]Cool Kingdom v6a|Stable|CM7/r2
with the newest radio patch and RILs.
However, after the new ROM, I can't watch my videos that I recorded on my very machine.
I have no problem watching videos on youtube but when I attempt to watch
my videos after recording, it only shows a white screen and the player seems big.
Weird thing is that I can see the thumbnail in the gallery and when I transfer
the files from my computer, I can watch them but very choppy.
I can also hear sound from the videos on the machine but not the images.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thx

"youtube like" video player for offline viewing

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

Galaxy S3 - Picture n Picture with 2 Vids

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

Note 8 trouble with embedded YouTube videos in Flipboard App

Hi there - I'm having trouble playing embedded YouTube videos in the Flipboard App on my Note 8. When I click on a video in a Flipboard article, the video box goes black and only the audio will play. This happens with every YouTube video I try to play in Flipboard articles, but non-YouTube videos play fine. I've tried restarting and closing all other apps, but nothing helps. I was wondering if anyone knew of a setting that might help fix this. Thank you.

Video player of Samsung is best?

While trying out the display resolutions, I noticed that playing the same video on mx player and Samsung's default player has a difference in quality.
You can access Samsung's player if you play the video from the gallery app. It just looks better. Unfortunately, gallery will show an thumbnail of the video so it's hard to tell which video it is if you have a lot.
Anton he will have notice this?
There is app called Video, it works like gallery, but only displays videos/movies and lists them with a name underneath. I would be completely lost without it. I also use Samsung player for mostly everything, but there are some specific audio or video codecs that Samsung player doesn't work with, so I also installed VLC as back up. I have not come across video VLC wasn't able to play yet.
