Samsung S5 Google Chrome Issue

[Caleb44]

I usually watch all my tv shows on google chrome, through certain websites. They always had the same video player. and I loved that video player, but recently, I went on a site to watch a show and the video player had changed. Now I can't even watch my shows on that specific site anymore because the fullscreen button is doesn't appear, but it's not the site. It's the video player. On other sites I can watch videos but on this site, the fullscreen button doesn't work with this new video player. Can anyone PLEASE help me, I want to factory chrome video player.

(and no I don't want to uninstall chrome updates because chrome looks horrible in it's factory version)


Please help!!!

Welcome to Android Central! Trying installing Chrome Samsung Support Library.

I already have that installed though..

Go to Settings>Developer Options, and see if you have an option to switch between AwesomePlayer and NuPlayer. If so, select the one that isn't currently selected, and see if that makes a difference.

I can't find developer options on chrome OR on my phone settings

Nvm I found developer options but I don't see anything about google chrome and the video player

I vaguely recall this issue in the past, but can't remember what the solution was (if there was one). Try going to the App Manager and select Chrome, then Clear Cache/Clear Data. Now try again.

I did that, still the same thing :/

See #1.8 of S5 Lollipop Update Problems - Dummies Guide for details of how to enable Developer Options.

It sounds like Caleb44 did figure out how to enable Developer Options, but it didn't help.

Caleb44, how about uninstalling Chrome updates, then re-updating it?

 

[Caleb44]

I did that as well, All that happened I lost my history and that's it.

Sorry, I'm not sure what to do next. It may be that Samsung needs to update something, or perhaps it's on the Chrome side and you'll have to wait for the next Chrome update.

Damnit dude, thanks for your help anyways.

OK... a long shot but have you tried Google Chrome Beta or Google Chrome Dev, (both free from the Play Store), to see if the same thing happens?
