Since I updated my iPad[1] to iOS 5, I frequently had the problem that the video app that comes with iOS is simply frozen, when you open it.
Even closing the app does not help.
A reboot of the iPad did not help either.
My idea was to somehow not start the video app, but launch a video directly, but for lack of a file manager on iOS, this is not easy.
Turns out it is... simply do a spotlight search for a known video name, wait for it to appear in the search results and tap on it there. Next best thing to a file manager :)
Voila, the video app should start and not freeze...
Works everytime for me know... a bit cumbersome, but still.
Hope that Apple will fix this.
