thanks, that's good enough...could be better but screen off is fine for now

What is the point in playing a music video.. If you're not watching it?
Then you might as well just play the mp3 file instead.
Playing a movie uses more battery than playing a song.

a couple of years ago i downloaded about 6gb of music videos from youtube which contain some legendary stuff, i converted them to mp4 and would always want to keep them on my SD card
sometimes i watch the videos but most of the time i listen to music, and i can confirm what Mobzter said, when the screen is off, the power drain is just the same as when you listen to audio

Im glad its helped ya out a little..
Btw i used meridian again for an hr today, music full volume using earphones! didnt realise 3g was running an all (screen off, playlist on) and i only lost 1%!!! ridiculous o wat!!

Running video in background ?
I to have historical videos, which I would sometimes would just like to listen and not watch,meridian does that, but it can't run in background,i mean android does support some level of multi tasking, doesn't it? It would also help in terms of battery use.is there any such video player?thnks in advance

Play only audio from your favorite video:
I have just found in market an app called: no video, which can play only audio from any video in your device,but it still can't play it in background,for time being it will help me

MediaScape really slow for anyone else?

Is there an better alternative? I use my x10 as my primary music player, and I have a little over 1,000 songs on it. When moving through the menus for artists/albums/tracks its VERY slow. Then scrolling through artists/albums/tracks lags very badly.
Do you guys find this as well? Is there a better music player out there? I really like the UI of it, but the performance is really slow
I use mixzing for music, meridian for movies and just pictures for, erm, pictures.
I do like rockplayer but it has to have the worst and most unresponsive controls ever.

Mine is acting better. I'm gettin lag only when i browse by artist, but thats because of the many artists and album covers that are loading. But it's only there, so it's ok for now. I hope they fix this. I also want them to fix thi fast search bar (the one with letters) on the right. Because my phone is in a cyrillic language, Mediascape suggests that I'm listening only cyrillic artists too. It's funny, 'cause its the opposite. So the problem is that I can't jump from A to M, sipmly because there are no enlish letters.
Interesting is that this problem doesn't exist in the Phonebook.
Please SE, you're now working on low in-call volume, but this thing must be fixed too. I'm waiting since 014.
Yeah I use mixzing player, mostly for its built in equalizer as I found the volume even through headphones is rather low. If they improve mediascape to have an EQ and smoother navigation then it will be an excellent media player.

yep the controls are really pathetic....
I use Mixzing for music, I convert all my videos to mp4 and watch them in mediascape or rockplayer and Mediascape for images... My Mediascape isnt laggy, I use the dark modded one...
with MS the slowness is caused by the animation files, i find once i have gone through the list once and the animations have loaded it speeds up. There is no way we can speed it up though will just have to wait for SE to speed it up.
Do you have the rockplayer version 15/08/10?

Had the newest from the market, don't think it is that new though.
The buttons are just so damn pedantic about where they are pressed.

[Q] Need help sound disappeared when playing video

When I play a movie or video that I downloaded to the phone (avi), the sound disappeared every 2.5 minutes (approx) of playing. If I touch the status bar and drag it to earlier time or later time, the sound came back.
It's very annoying because I have to slide it every 2.5 min.
I'm using the stock player, vital player, mvideo player and they all have the same problem. I tried 3 different avi movie files on all 3 players.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
UPDATE 8/4/11:
I found out the solution with Vital Player (free app),
setting > decode mode > (choose) software codec
actually it's mentioned on their startup screen but i wasn't paying attention.
I tried Dice Player Trial and it doesn't have this sound problem..but...it's not free
I have the same issue with avi file. I searched for info or fixes but no luck. Anyone else with this issue?

I have tried them all well not exactly but most the ones people recommend, none the less I had problems with the stock one doing the same thing. Sometimes it would play a song then sometimes it would just be silent, any way I tried the playerpro trial version same as full version just only last 5 days. any way it and dsp pack for it has proved to be the best so far plays anything, and had allot of sound adjustment. No I don't work for them lol just my 2 cents

PowerAmp continues to be my favorite. Though it seems like there's a bug related to scanning each time the app is launched that was causing me some issue. Disabled that option and everythings good.
I use playerpro, like the features, get missing album covers, no issues. The widget is awesome, try it, it is free. The app is well supported.

I have this exact problem. It isn't quite clipping but whenever there is a crescendo it only ramps up partway and then gets mushy as though there is a normalizer running. The consistency with which it does this has me thinking as though each frame in the MP3 is being decoded at a different level!

[SEARCH] app for playing only sound from movie-file

hello,
like in the topic of my post said do i search an app, that can play the sound of a movie file, without
playing the movie.
all movie players work only with display on. i often listen to podcasts. and also often to discussions
or explanations brought in movie files, but the pucture is not important. only the voices.
and when i want to listen to such files, i want to have my smartphone in my pocket. listen over headset.
but with unlocked display, often buttons are unwillingly pressed and display needs toooooo much energy.
is there an app that can play movie sound with display of ???
thanks for answering
Try poweramp.

You can also try Vplayer or asti media player. Both of them will play the video with the screen off. However, my vote goes to PowerAmp...
Qqplayer also can play video (sound-only) with screen off...
thanx for the answers...
ive tried poweramp...is not worth the money, for me! i understand others, who like the app,
but i realy dont like the interface. ill try the other, named above...

YouTube off screen

Does anybody have a YouTube app or client that allows video playback while screen is off?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Try Play Tube free. It plays videos in background and screen off. Even let's you create playlists.
Its in the play store.
EDIT-
Ahhh here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213945
I've used a few modded youtube apps and I love this one by far the best. The developer, OsamaGhareeb is amazing. Constant updates and is usually very active in his threads. It's calld OG Youtube Downloader. It allows you to download youtube videos to your sd card, also has the option to download it in MP3 format if there's a song on there you wanna keep. However, for your purposes the screen off playback option works great! I use to use it all the time listening to youtube videos and falling asleep lol.
