This will place the app in the Disabled list here - always available for re-enabling (no such thing as Delete for built-in apps) and should remove the app from consideration by Android entirely. Download (samsung video library) from GALAXY APPS and the video player icon will start to show in your APPS. Looking in the Default Apps menu, there's the standard Home Screen, Browser, and so on but nothing for the Video Player. At no point have I ever been presented an option from within the Gallery to pick a player.

Clear 'Launch by Default', Clear Cache, Clear Data, uncheck Notifications (you're okay with the warning that pops up), Force Stop, Disable (you're okay with it going back to factory install). As a troubleshooting step try going to Settings > Apps > Video > Uninstall, then go to the Galaxy Apps store, search 'Video' and reinstall the app from there. However, in the Gallery itself, it always defaults to the stock video player (which means those above-mentioned files will not play). That said, I've been running my video through MX Player Pro, GoneMAD Music Player for audio and QuickPic for photos on my Nexus 7 since before the KitKat install and never had to reset the preferences.Ī slightly more extreme Plan B: You might want to try disabling the offending app (back to Settings > Apps > All > the app involved. This should, at the very least, force a choice box to display when you open a file to set a preferred app. This will do what B Diddy suggested, but specifically for each app. Look to the bottom of the page for 'Launch By Default'. Find the 'default' player (Google Play and Movies for video, Photos for, well, photos) and click on it to open it's info page. Go to Settings > Apps > scroll over to All.
