Random audio mute in player

Many third-party players for Android (for example, MX Player) use gesture settings. This is very convenient, because the device continues to play the media file, and you make fine adjustments without pop-ups or exiting to the menu.

In the same MX Player, if you accidentally touch the right side of the screen, you can reset the sound to zero without even noticing it. In such cases, music, calls and videos on the Internet will be played back without problems, but the audio track in the player will not be played. The solution is to check the volume level in the movie program.

It’s good that users have the opportunity to share their opinions - in this way they make each other’s lives easier.

Why can’t I upload or add videos to VK from my phone?

All described processes are implemented simply and conveniently. But sometimes the following problems may arise:

• the video does not load or takes a very long time to load due to the low speed of the 3G Internet (on the street, in many places only it is available);
• The video cannot be posted or added from a third-party site due to copyright reasons. This often happens with new TV series, videos of different stars and other content from major studios. There is nothing you can do here, just look for another copy, often with a changed name;
• application error or temporary malfunction of the VK website. They may arise during work, but are quickly corrected by administrators, and the source code is edited and updates are downloaded.

Make sure right away that the material you choose does not violate copyright. Sometimes channel owners on third-party hosting sites block the ability to share materials on other networks. Use a high-speed connection (4G, Wi-Fi) to quickly upload videos to the site. And if you find an error in the application, wait a while or reset its data in the settings if it does not disappear.

Export

• You can also share the video with your friends. To do this, you can send it to a friend or export the video.

Editing a video

When watching online, there is sound, but no picture

If the file playback was normal, but the image suddenly disappeared, while there was sound, the causes of the breakdown could be:

1. Standard color correction (modification) of the device. This may be the case if you:
2. installed an application that helps change color temperature (Twilight, F.lux);
3. could activate a standard function on Andro >

You need to disable the color inversion function and check whether the video shows.

1. Overlays . Just like with the modification. Android 6, 7, and 8 versions that use overlays may experience similar problems with playing video files. These often include the following programs :
2. CM Locker;
3. special offers for registration;
4. parental control programs.

In this case, you just need to disable all applications, restart the device and check if online viewing works.

Frequent problems and solutions

Now you know how to watch movies on VK and where you can do it. Let us immediately note that new movies will not be available. All of them come in the form of trailers and are closed upon request by the copyright holder. Therefore, to the question of whether it is possible to watch films on VK, the answer is twofold. On the one hand, this is not prohibited, but on the other hand, there is a restriction on new content. You won't be able to look at it.

But even with access to files, watching videos online on VK com is not always possible. The reason is often errors encountered by users. Below we briefly summarize the main problems and ways to solve them:

1. The picture freezes or stops from time to time. In this case, check your Internet speed. For high-quality viewing, this parameter must be 512 kbit/s and higher. At low speeds, it is recommended to stop playback and wait a while.
2. The file cannot be viewed to the end. The problem is often caused by the browser limiting itself to occupying a certain amount of space (usually up to 500 MB). Changes must be made to solve the problem. In your browser settings, look for the Disk cache setting and increase it.
3. The connection was lost and you were unable to finish watching the movie. In this case, clear the cache in the web explorer, and then start downloading again.
4. The video freezes, there are problems with sound, the film ends and it is impossible to watch it on VK. Set up a proxy server in your browser.
5. The video does not play. Many people ask how to watch movies for free on VK without Flash Player. Unfortunately this is not possible. In addition, codecs, NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0, are required to view. The reason may also be a high load on the server, for example, during peak hours.

We must not forget the situation when the movie you were planning to watch is completely deleted from the server.

Now you know how to enjoy content on VK, whether you can watch it, and how to search for your favorite paintings. Changes in legislation have made this more difficult, but older films are still available. As for new ones, they are added and almost immediately removed at the request of copyright holders.
