Facebook Video Playback

[ScottS]

I cant watch a whole video on Facebook on my Z2, for some reason it throws out an error. 

Plus within 10min of using the phone it gets really hot. 

I havent tested out the waterproof factor yet as i think i have a dud phone.. 

Any help on the video issue would be great..

this: Some videos on facebook will end with an unknown error immediately, while others will be played for about 15 seconds before the error occurs and an error message with an unknown error is displayed

just updating the firmware, hopefully its fixed?

Ditto to facebook videos, also NBA GAMTIME

I have the exact same problem.

Firmware is fully updated, aswell as everything else.
Absolutely everything is updated, but the problem is still there.
Clearing data in the Facebook app, kinda solves the problem. But not for long.. Shortly after, the same problem occurs again.
Why??? I have had many smartphones, but this is the first one that can't play videos on Facebook.
And that kinda **bleep**..

Same issue here, the video runs for a few seconds and stops.

I cleared everything and tried again but im getting the same issue.

[MrNutt]

are they videos that are directly embedded in to a facebook post or ones that open in a new window?

[ASKAD]

Embedded in the facebook wall posts

I have not been able to replicate that issue here yet. However just for testing purposes can you please install MX Player from the Playstore and when you tap on the video choose to open it with that and let me know if it works.

I have installed the MX Player, but I can't choose to open an integrated video on Facebook with that player. Facebook automatically plays it with it's built in player. Is there any way to change that?

[Sam]

That is odd as all videos I have tested do one of two things, they either take me to the site the video is hosted on such as www.youtube.com or ask me which application I wish to open the video with. If you go into Settings > Apps > Facebook, which version are you running?
