I have it changed for when I'm browsing in files app but it doesn't change when using the Gallery app. I was hoping Good Locks would be able to make the change but can't that option.

Will it play automatically from the Gallery app?
Doesn't look like it's possible. The Gallery app is so bonded to the camera app it's probably like that for a reason.
Personally I don't use Samsung Gallery as a standalone app, there are far better and more powerful apps out there. I use F-Stop for all my media content.
When you click video in the gallery app it then should ask you to use the Samsung player you dont select that and just then select mx

it doesn't give you that option in the stock GALLERY app. it always uses the samsung built in video player.
i have since switched to Fstop it works great however whenever i select a photo from the CAMERA app it always uses GALLERY not Fstop. minor inconvenience.
Ye will do that im not sure if there is a way to change it unless modding lol

yea but is to slow and when you push the full screen botton you only cant see a white screen with the sound and nothin alse not another player ?
Mplayer is nice
Act 1 video player is pretty good. Pause and play with a tap of the screen and ff or rw by sliding your finger forward or backwards. full screen works great on the nexus.
Personally I just use the built in media player, works in fullscreen and gets the job done just fine.

Ok I give, where is this video media player? what is the app name on the N1?
if your movie isnt playing in full screen, then you didnt encode the movie to the correct resolution. encode your movies whether they be rips or mkv's, make sure you encode at 800x480 mp4, 24fps, AAC 96, good to go. if you have no idea what i'm talking about, then do more reading

It's called "Gallery." Your videos are listed alongside your pictures. Or choose a video with any file browser.

Yeah, I should've mentioned where it was, not exactly intuitive in my opinion. As carnegie0107 says it's the gallery app. I had actually installed Act 1 Trial because I couldn't find the built-in one and when I launched a video file from a file browser it asked if I wanted to open it in Gallery so I gave it a go and it worked like a charm. So no need to spend money on a video player unless it adds support for more codecs
Act1 is great. I had a 640*480 video that needed to be stretched to the full 800 pixels for proper viewing and Act1's full screen mode did the trick. It also shows battery level and time without being obtrusive and has quick access to brightness controls.

No. It doesn't work. I hope it has a video player like apple's. After click a key, the picture will be stretched at top and bottom. The left and right side will be cut a little. Note screen is 1280*800, but the 720p is 1280*720. if have this, it will be full screen.
Try MX Video Player it has extra codecs and such. Runs fullscreen, easier fast forward and rewind.

Tried all five codecs, I think the 'crop' mode should work, but it's same as full screen, there has a problem.
Any one know how to view your library from within the stock video players widget? I can't find any button or menu that will allow you to see the contents of your video library. Alternately whats a good video player for a tablet to replace the stock one? I've tried Mixzing but its not made for tablets so it doesn't have a widescreen setting.

I have a couple file explorers but I want to see the library from within the player itself. There are forward and back buttons on either side of teh play button to move between videos but you can't see titles doing it this way. I have about 40 video files in my library and its impossible to tell which one I'm picking to play within the player.
edit: found moboplayer to use, it at least opens up to a decent library at start but doesn't have a widget. Going to switch to MX Player its a lot better but still no widget.
I'm not sure what you are looking for. In the stock video player I can choose any video that I want.
If I misunderstood, please let me know.

I have the stock music players widget on my desktop, when playing a movie I cannot select another one by name as their is no menu to access the library. So I guess the topic should have included the widget part. I update the op to reflect this thanks for your help.
Oh, and I think that I understand that now.
Maybe this app could hep you:

I tried it but still no way to access the library from the widget. Just going to stick to stock and will just have to close the widget and open the player app to get at the library.
Every time an iPhone user sends me an iPhone video through text, it opens, and plays, but it is real tiny, and poor quality. Is there any way to watch an iPhone video in full screen, with good quality?

Try to download MX player or BS player and use it as your default player, see if you can watch with good quality and full screen.

Go into settings->app then select all apps, find the default video player and hit clear data, stop the service then exit, and it should prompt you to pick a video player.

Let try this first, how about save the qcp file to your local storage then use MX player to open it and see if you could see it with full screen and good qualtiy?
Edit: qcp is a compact video format for ringtone and such so don't expect too much about quality..

That's one of the first things I tried. MX Player doesn't even recognize the file. If I open MX Player, and choose the folder where I saved the video file, the file doesn't even show up. If I use ES File Explorer, I can see the video file where I saved it.

I installed ARM v7-Neon. I then manually added qcp to the files list, and now I can see the video file. It plays the audio, but there is no video, just a black screen. Am I the only person who gets iPhone videos, and can't play them?
Could it possible be the video file itself?
I kinda have the same problem, it drives me up the wall! The whole slideshow thing when someone sends a MMS with a text is annoying.

while opening videos from gallery, the videos open in native video player instead of opening in mx player. i have mx player installed in my phone.
there is no option to configure the default setting.
please help.
if any body has any solution.
yup, same problem here, so i've just learned to live with the stock player lol
I think it's not possible to change this! Why I have no idea. There are volume problems with the default video player, as in it frequently starts loudest when the media volume is all the way down. Many times I've been in a quiet environment and boom it's loud and I have to scramble to turn it down manually. Also like the video to start fullscreen, which seems to me to be a sensible default behavior.

why don't you open the videos from dcim folder using es explorer or any other file browser?
Same issue with VLC.
any update ??
yeah i also facing the issue ,have you found the solution?
It's something Samsung have done, even if you use a package disabler to freeze the stock video player, it just complains that there are no apps installed able to play videos from the gallery even if MX Player is installed
Sucky move
I even denied permission for the stock video player it still plays the videos in gallery regardless. And you are forced to allow permission to the player to access the file.
If there was anyway we could disable the default video player we could replace it with mxplayer.
The default stock video player is stupid. When you change the brightness it also changes the brightness of the whole phone.
Hi
I've installed a video player on the phone. I'd like to be able to play videos from the gallery directly with that player and set as default. It does not ask me how I want to play videos, just plays through gallery, how can I change it? No default settings neither in gallery, nor in the player app. Throuhg settings-apps the default option is obviously inactive, can't set even there.

Use a different gallery, this should solve your problem.
When selecting a video it will ask you which player to use, just once or always.

Yeah, that did the job, thanks.
I'm a bit sorry though, I'd preffer the one that the rom comes with, hopefully they'll add this option.
