Internet videos to download only ?

[brettj]

Hey there everyone, I m having an issue where videos that I could normally view on the internet, are now making me save the file to the phone first, then view. Whereas before I could normally just click on the video and it would play automatically without downloading to the phone .

If anyone has any ideas how to remedy this situation it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance. ...

I believe there is usually an option to either stream it or download it. Some browsers will remember the choices you make. Try going to settings>applications> and find the browser you are using to watch videos and clear defaults(this will also clear other settings you may have choosen and return the app to default settings).

I am running dolphin browser and the stock browser and neither is showing an option to modify video settings

From homescreen press the hard button for settings. Then follow my directions

okay I followed your directions and cleared the defaults for dolphin browser, I check the stock browser and no defaults have been set, so I tried again to view the videos online, and the same thing is happening.

When I am using dolphin browser and a box appears asking me to download the video. When using the stock browser it automatically starts to download the video. I cannot find any settings any where to download videos or to stream videos.

Really starting to feel like a dumbass here, this happened 2 days ago I have no idea whats going on.

What site are you using to stream? I recently had the same issue, but the videos downloaded in 20 minutes so it wasn't a huge deal (decent 4G connection).
