Any S4 gurus here?

Yes, I know. it's an old phone.

ANYWAY, It stopped playing video on FB, Yahoo. Google etc. (youtube still plays)

After dicking around with cache, antivirus, players, and other crap, I did a factory reset.

It STILL wont play vids. Just a black screen. When you tap it. it shows the pause symbol like its playing, but it is not.

Time to trash it?

You may need to update your Adobe Flash Player and possibly even your Android version. Be careful to follow ALL instructions updating Android versions though, not doing so could cause an even bigger headache.
Is your phoned rooted?
