[Q] Video playlist shortcut or widget - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey
I've recently bought my self a transformer prime and my daughter loves watching movies on it. But I have to start the videos for her since she can't figure it out on her own (she's only 3)
But if there is someway to make a shortcut, widget or app to a specific video playlist I've already made that would be great. I've searched but i can't seem to find anything that will allow me to do so. Single files i know i can do with astro file manager.
Thanks in advance

question about youtube

hi everyone! I'm a new samsung tab owner, still getting around the tablet. For now, only one thing is annoying me and I cannot or do not know how to solve this.
The thing is, when I open a video on youtube, it plays just fine. But when I open or switch to another tab in browser, the video auto-pauses. Is there a way to solve this, so I can play youtube vids "in background" while I browse other sites?
Btw, I'm using the stock rom (haven't rooted/flashed etc.) and default browser
Thanks for help in advance!
bump, anyone?
I don't really think this is possible, due to the nature of how Android's web browsers work. I assume you're trying to listen to music or something off of Youtube while browsing. I'd honestly just stick with Pandora or even spring for Spotify Premium so you can run it on your phone/tablet.
thank you, pandora is a fun app and spotify works perfectly! You are a life-saver

[Q] Video playlist or video autoplay next file for G Tablet?

hey everyone. Love this website I appreciate what you guys do.
Just bought a Viewsonic G Tablet and I put a bunch of little video clips that I want to autoplay.
I need a video player with some sort of PLAYLIST or Auto-Play next video.
I tried downloading Act 1 Video Player and installing it on my G Tablet but it freezes at "Installing"
Any help would be gladly appreciated.

please include the APK file or let me know the name of the program so I can find it
thanks a lot everyone!

MoboPlayer from Market has a "Play next automatic" feature.

ICS music player with file browser oddity

hello everyone!
I recently got the transformer prime (upgraded to ICS) and I have noticed that when trying to play an audio file with the stock music player from a file browser (ive tried both the stock Asus one and file manager HD) an oddity occurs: rather than playing the song in the background as It normally would, It plays the selected audio file as a sort of preview and will stop playing as soon as there is any input anywhere else on the screen. This includes files that are both inside and outside of the music folder.
This is annoying for me because I like to keep lecture files (im a student) in a separate file with all my notes. Poweramp (my primary music player) works very well with the file manager but it lacks one feature I find very useful: the ability to pause the music via the notification bar, thereby allowing me to have lecture slides open and full control over the audio lecture file without switching windows away from my lecture slides.
Does anyone know any workarounds that disables this "preview" feature in the stock ics music player and simply just plays it, or any other music players/plug ins that would allow the in-notification-music-control feature with another player?
I have not rooted my device. Stock Asus version of ICS.
thanks!
Have you tried playing them through the app? They would probably show up under unknown artist if they're recognized as music files. But unless someone edits the .apk to remove that feature, you'll need to find another way around it. I remember vanilla Gingerbread did this too, so it isn't new to ICS. (Might have been a feature before, but I never noticed on Froyo and ran Sense before that) As far as other players, I believe that's the only app to have the notification controls so far. I do know that ES File Explorer has a built-in music player, but I don't know much about it.

[Q] Anyone have problems playing video playlists in ICS 4.0.3?

I use meridian player revolute and paid for the pro version verifier. I'm having problems with the videos freezing when I play a playQ or try to play videos in a folder. I haven't had this problem since i upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and I was curious if anyone else has this problem or could test it. I have all videos in mp4 format, they play fine, but at the end of one, sometimes it just hangs till I hit Next on the screen.
I emailed the developer and he had no help for me, told me to make a music playlist and try playing that, which is nowhere near what I wanted to do. I want it to be video and it want to be able to randomize it. If anyone knows of a replacement app that could do this with ease, and load my video file list fast, let me know please!

Yes,you can do that. Actually i do that everytime. I can say i use zu1 mainly for wtching movies.
You must have a good movie player installed. The default movieplayer is good but i prefer mxplayer. If you have transfered succesfully the movie in your phone,mxplayer can easily catch it whenever you put it.
can i ask what zu1 is please?
Get a microsd card and create a folder "movies", copy your movie files into there, then install a decent movie player like dice or bsplayer and open the file. The stock movie app only support a few filetypes.

I feel like OP (Original Poster. That's you Sut1576) is fairly fresh towards stuff like this, so something tells me he'll need an even simpler explanation.
- Yes, you can download movies from the internet, but that's also illigal and not allowed to discuss on XDA, so you'll have to find another place to ask about this.
- You can also rip (copy) your own movies to your computer and transfer them to your Ultra (legal as long as it's for personal use).
- The Ultra will natively play back the most common formats (.mp4, .mkv, .avi), and the stock player is very good, but if a movie won't play, then do as Zaxharu and SpyderTracks have said and install a third party video player from the Play Store (I personally prefer MX Player)
So just plug your Ultra to your computer, make a new folder called "Movies" or something and drag-and-drop the files into the folder, and that's it.
