I just had the same problem. I got my new p9 lite today and wanted to transfer my sd card. That went good, but I wanted to see if it all want well, I opened the galery, clicked on a video and pressed play, the screen went black for about 0.2 seconds and displayed the same screen from before I pressed play. After some testing I found a different app called "videos". I opened it and accepted some terms and conditions, after that it all worked good. 


Maybe it helps for you.

I have the same problem that my videos won't display on gallery you tube Instagram Netflix anything I go on and I was wondering if you had the answer to fix it by now


The possible reason is the network connection is too slow to load videos.

If your phone is running out of storage space, you need to clear the cache or unwanted files to free up storage space. .

If this video formats can't be supported by Huawei. So converting them to compatible format like MP4 is a good way. 

Btw, you can even watch DVD on Huawei with some converter

I had exactly the same problem and using the separate 'videos' app works well. 


Hi Moayd. In which file format are the videos in? Maybe the phone just doesn't support. I suggest that you install other video player apps like MX Player.
