Video player app is a media-related app that is available in the Samsung Galaxy SIV. You can use this app for watching all saved videos in your phone, either those you took with the phone camera or those you got/downloaded from other sources.


While you're watching a video in the video player app, you'll be given with some useful options, one of which is the picture in picture (pip) view icon that you can use to reduce the screen size and display the player in the small window so that you can use your phone for other purposes without closing the video.

Image result for Samsung Galaxy S4: How to Use Pop Up Play in Android 4.4 Kitkat

How to use pop-up play?
Below are the steps to do so:
  1. Open the Video Player app.
  2. Tap the required video to play it.
  3. Tap the PIP (Picture in picture) view icon to view the video in a small window. If you can't see this icon, tap the screen to view the playback controls. The player will remain on top while you're using the phone for other purposes.
  4. While the video player is displayed in the small window, you can do the following actions:
    • Move: you can move the video window to any part of the screen by dragging it to another location.
    • Zoom in or zoom out: spread two fingers apart on the video window to enlarge it or pinch the video window to reduce it.
    • Pause and resume: single tap the video window to pause or resume the playback.
    • Multitask: you can watch the video while using your phone for other purposes(e.g: browsing the webpages, sending text messages, etc). You can use and navigate your phone normally and the player will remain on top.
    • Exit from PIP view: double tap the video window to return to the video player app.
    • Close: when the playback is paused, you can close the player by tapping the close button
      at the top right corner of the video window. If you didn't activate the auto next video option, the video window will be closed automatically once the playback is over.

By default, if you play a video in the normal view, the video will be stopped if you use your phone for other activities. But, by using the popup video player or the pip view now you can do other activities(multitask) while you're watching the video.

While you're playing a video in the video player app, you'll be presented with some options that you can use to control the playback, such as rewind or forward the playback, adjust the volume, etc. Even you'll be given with a take-a-screenshot button or capture icon to make you easier to take a screenshot while playing a video.

A few days ago, an insider told me that she can't find the capture icon while she was playing a video in the video player app. As a note, the option to display the capture icon is enabled by default therefore if you can't find the capture icon make sure that the capture option in the settings menu while playing a video is not disabled.

Basically, you can take a screenshot of the playback by using the palm motion or using combination of the Power button and the Home button, but using the capture button to take a screenshot while playing a video is much easier to do. Other advantage when you use the capture icon is this option will give you a full screen screenshot no matter how you hold (horizontally or vertically) the phone while playing a video.

Hiding  of video from the Video player app or Showing  Video from the Video Player App in Galaxy 4


The "Show hidden items"and "Hide items"  the are new features available in the Gallery app that have been brought by Android 4.4 If you using this feature you're allowed to hide or show hidden photos or videos directly from the Gallery app. This feature only works for those that are saved in the internal storage, while if you want to hide those that are saved in the SD card you can use the old method by adding a full stop . in front of the photo or video name via My Files app or another third-party File manager app.
 
Unfortunately, both these methods, either using the hide items feature or adding a full stop only work in the Gallery app and they don't work in the Video player app because the hidden videos will still be displayed there. However, if you wish to hide a video from the Video player app, you can do so with ease by adding .nomedia extension behind the video file name via another third-party File manager app.

Image result for Show to hide a video from the Video player app?Image result for Show to hide a video from the Video player app?

Hiding  of video from the Video player app
These steps are tested by using ES File Explorer app:
  1. Download install ES File Explorer from the Play Store and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation.
  2. Once the installation is completed, open the app.
  3. Navigate to a folder where you save the video file you wish to hide.
  4. Long tap the required video file to select it.
  5. Click the Rename button at the bottom of the screen to rename the video file.
  6. Add .no media behind the video name, for example: video_name.mp4 become video_name.mp4.no media
  7. Click OK button to save the change.
  8. The selected video won't be displayed in the Video player app as well as in the Gallery app.
Image result for Show to hide a video from the Video player app?Image result for Show to hide a video from the Video player app?

Show unseen video in the Video player app?
You can show the unseen video with .no media extension by removing .no media from the video file name via ES File Explorer app.


For the record, aside from hiding videos from the Gallery app and Video player app, these steps also can be applied to hide pictures from the Gallery app and hide music from the Music player app. It's because .no media extension will mark a file as having no multimedia data so that the file shouldn't be scanned and indexed by multimedia apps(Gallery app, Music player app and Video player app).
