Ok so this recently happened, I used to be able to go and look at a video on a website by clicking on It then using movies preference, but now everytime I click on the video it just downloads it and it cant be played. Please help!!!
 
Did you recently get a software update to your phone? I've ran some phones that went through that same pattern and it was a limiting factor caused by an update. You might let us know what you have for a phone and software but just straight up...I've been able to resolve this issue on 2 different phones by loading MX Video Player from the market. If it asks you to choose a default program the first time you press on a video, select it as the primary app to run.

Also, certain vid types (file types) don't seem to load well with any player I can find. I've had to just download them and then go to downloads and open them that way.
