Why is stock video player not reading sd card after marshmallow 6.0 upgrade

Updated to marshmallow 6.0 and the stock video player which once showed all content on my external card, now only shows it for the device storage. What the hell android?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Try going to Settings>Apps​, select the video player app, then Permissions, and make sure it has permission to access your SD card.
