[Bug 1562183] [NEW] No way to associate .mp4 file with video player

 

Public bug reported:

I'm running 9.1 on a Nexus 4.

I downloaded a video using the browser.  This defaults to putting the
file in my Downloads folder.  I tried to play a video in .mp4 format but
the option to use the video player was not offered.  The only
application that came up in the list of programs to open this file was
the Gallery or

I found that I had to move the file into the Video folder for the system
to recognize that this file was a video.

The video player Scope did not allow me to look outside this folder for
content.  The only option presented was to look at an SD card or other
external storage.
