When I first got the GN2, even after I rooted, I had the option to stream video with the standard video player that came with the phone. Now I only have the options to download videos using the browser or ES File Explorer.
Is there a way to get the streaming option back with the video player that comes stock on the phone? Thanks to anyone that can help, I don't want to download every video I watch... especially some *cough*cough* recreational videos .
By the way I am still on LJC, if it matters, and that is all I have ever been on since I have had the phone.
edit:
It seams I can stream video with ES File Explorer; however, I am still sure the standard video player use to be a option.

I've been experiencing some choppy video problems on my myTouch Slide. I know phones are somewhat notorious for this, but the weird thing in my case is that it used to work just fine and now it won't. Same video file (a movie in WMV format), same media player (arcMedia), now it won't work.
So I thought "it's probably a problem with arcMedia." So I tried RockPlayer. Same problem. Then I tried streaming flash video on Dolphin HD (which also used to work provided the video was buffered). Same problem.
So I grabbed an MP4 off of NASA's website and tried it on the native player. I don't get any video, just sound. From what I can tell this video should play just fine: H264 video codec and everything.
I'm new to Android but not new to computers and tech.
Any ideas?
Well what changed? Did you install any new apps that may be running in the background? Did you flash another rom or something since the last time you played this wmv file?
What was the resolution of the MP4 off the NASA site? If it was HD that is probably the reason why you get no video.
Hey guys,
I'm an iPhone covert but there is one thing that the iPhone does that is vastly superior to the gNex, and that's streaming video.
For example, I watch NHL games on m.hockeystreams.com. With the iPhone, it streams as an MP4 video but with the gNex it is Flash.
I have tried changing the user agent in Dolphin browser to have the site see my gNex as an iPhone but the player still shows it as Flash.
The question is, are you able to change the default video player to make it play as MP4?
I can't imagine it's anything other than the video format as the processor on the gNex is superior to the iPhone.
Thoughts?
uninstall or tell it not to run Flash.
You can also use Chrome Beta, which doesn't have Flash.

Hi All,
I did a search and can't find an answer.
First off, I'm running stock build JZ054K with stock kernel and modem. I'm rooted and all, just decided to install stock stuff for now. Of course that's 4.1.2.
When I transfer video files to the phone memory or the SD card, I'm having trouble getting them to play back. I've tried MP4, AVI, Wave and have also let the phone convert them as they transfer. The AVI won't play at all, it just says this file won't play. The wave will but has terrible quality. The MP4 is really finicky. Sometimes they will transfer and play part way through, sometimes all the way and sometimes not at all. Could it be the stock video player? I also have MX player but it doesn't seem to do much better. In fact it general does worse.
Should I let the videos convert or should I just transfer them as is. I've even had videos I took with the phone that didn't want to play.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
When transferring files to your phone make sure to not convert... Download (and there are many more apps but my favorites are) MXplayer or DicePlayer and watch the videos through that... Not only are there options within each players settings that allow you to adjust playback options for optimization but then at least you don't have to convert files (a copy of a copy is quite like the original, etc)

^ hi..my question is simple and yet I've searched everywhere with no luck...can I change the wonders of nature video on my tablet with say a video of my own....?
There are many ways, but one way is:
Connect your tab to a Mac or pc via usb and use file manager / Windows explorer to drag and drop files. You can put them in the Videos folder or create one. I don't know all the formats the built in app will play. You can also get BS player or MX player or vlc player from the play store. Those support a lot of formats
To delete the wonder of nature video, you can open the gallery app, select it by long press, and delete.
I noticed today after trying to do some samba sharing with my desktop that when I would go to watch the video I was unable to use anything other than the default android Video Player. Just so you all know: Yes I have other video players installed, also Yes I have gone into app settings and removed all default apps from being default. After doing all of that I still do not see any other of my video players when I go to watch any of these videos. Thank you all for any help you may have.
