[Q] Quick Video Record Widget Request - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys!
Does anyone know of a quick video record widget? That is, once I click on the widget on the homescreen it AUTOMATICALLY starts recording video without me having to press any other button other than stop or pause whenever I want.
Basically a quick, one button record function for those impromptu moments.
Thanks for the suggestions!

There is a thread somewhere for app request no sure where so check the android app sub forum or it in the about xda. You get a better response there.

Youtube volume slider?

hi guys and gals,
Does anyone know of a mod or app that can add a volume slider when viewing a youtube video.
I know I can press the volume keys on the side of my phone, but it would make the youtube experience a lot more natural.
Thanks.
I've been wishing for that for a long time! I can't believe they didn't put one on the screen. Please post if you do find an app for that!

[Q] Dictaphone / Dictation app

Ahoy!
I just started a job that requires me to dictate reports to be typed up.
I have searched the market, but can't really find anything suitable.
There are 2 essential features I am looking for;
1) the ability to rewind your recording
2) the ability to edit, (for example if i make a mistake dictating, rewind, then continue recording from the middle again.
I can't believ there is no app I can find that does this? Any help guys?
(Or is this a problem with digital recording in general??)
Thanks in advance.....
Hello.
Do you looking for just audio recording app or speech-to-text translator/editor?
Na, I don't need any voice to text functions. Just a straight audio recorder with the abilty to rewind a mistake and continue recording over it, you know like a 'tape' dictaphone?
............
I'm amazed there is no such thing as a Dictaphone app.

[Feature request] Some suggest

Hi, i bought your app and it's fantastic but i have some suggest.
1) We display the last watched movie and finished movies in*different color.
Would be nice to enable or disable it or set the colors.
2) When i close the app and it keep going play audio if i go on the notification panel i can pause and play, go to next video or close the app.
Would be nice go to previous video too.
3) I open the app, i choose a video and i play it. I go back to the list and i have 3 button on top: refresh, play and search.
If i want to stop the video i have to press the play button (it take you to the video) and stop from there.
Would be nice if the play button would pause and play the video and create a new button than take you back to the video.
4) I use your player to play video music in car.
Would be nice slide next or previous video by air gesture (just moving my hand left or right above sensor of my Samsung S4 in landscape and portrait mode).
Thank you
Regarding #4, since that's a feature of the Samsung TouchWiz launcher, I don't think it can be included in external non-Samsung apps.

Yes it can:

And others 3 points?
I definitely don't think the developer would develop Air gestures directly into the app; that's just asking too much of him. In terms of making it somehow compatible with that Hovering Controls app, I don't know if that's possible and will let the developer answer.
The other 3 points, up to the developer. I'm just commenting on point #4 as it's the least straight-forward. @bleu8888
Hi,
1. It will be improved on MX 2.0
2. It is already possible if you switch screen to portait mode. Let me think about changing UI to show "previous button" even on landscape screen.
3. Let me think about this option.
4. Let me try it. If it works, it will be supported on MX 2.0
Thanks

is there a way to keep music app open?

is there a way to keep music app open?
Closest is swipe down and click the music icon or add a widget
But after few minutes i have to do again because app closes
Bump.
I'm also wondering this.
Yeah is a repeat Task only possible is find a music player watch face
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
i am alive can help.
the screen timeout is what kills the music app, kill the timeout and the app stays active.

you can also combine watchmaker and tasker to create a custom watchface with built in media controls.

How can I use Tasker to make a watchface with music controls?
watchmaker lets you make your own watchfaces with buttons that can trigger tasker tasks.
in tasker you can create tasks that simulate media buttons.
and then you can send the %MTRACK variable from tasker to watchmaker if you want to be able to show the currently playing track.
What do I put in the right hand side of the variable?
Maybe I should start another thread asking my Tasker questions since I'm Clueless when it comes to Tasker.
Hi all . . . I'm reviving this to see if anyone has any other ideas. I don't want to keep my watch face lit up non-stop to control audio because that'd drain battery like crazy, so the "I am alive" trick is out. I don't really want to go for a media controller watchface, as the ones I like are already pretty information-dense, and I don't want to lose the features I like in favor of audio controls.
This is probably the feature I miss most since switching from my Pebble. It seems bonkers to me that there's no way to do this. Maybe with a 3rd party audio controls app? To be clear, I want to control audio playing from my phone, not from my watch . . .
You can link music app to double press on home button.
It is not ideal but if you are not using double press for something else maybe it can help you.
..... or made a Music Shortcut on a face
Boy, this is also annoying me. You have to scroll back or take an extra step which is frustrating as hell when you want to just change tracks. Will see if there's a workaround and get back.

Option to hide video zoom button, API for sending title+year for opensubtitles search

Can you please give us an option to hide the video zoom button in the lower right corner, as I never use it, since you should watch the video at the resolution it's supposed to be in.
Also can you create an API for when you press search subtitles it will take that title/year and search for it in opensubtitles.org to give you the best results. Instead of just going off filename. Give us the api option for our app to send you the title/year info to then send to open subtitles.
On another note, give us an option for subtitle preferred "Forced"
Thanks alot! The player would be perfect after these options are added.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. MXPlayer already provides an option to enter your own keywords while searching for subtitles. Have you tried the same?
With regards to your request on forced subtitles, would you mind elaborating more so that we can share your concerns with our relevant team for further review?

I know you can enter your own, but it would be nice if you had an API for developers to send the movie/year to that field so it automatically search for that instead of depending on the filename.
Forced subtitles are mainly for English films or tv that contain a few forced subtitles that can be like some small Spanish parts or elvish from Lord of the rings for example. They are mainly called Forced or English Forced. Right now you give us the option to choose our subtitles that automatically are picked, but there is no option for Forced, just English. I don't want to have subtitles for the whole movie I just want them for the portion where the language they are speaking isn't English.
But can you please give us an option in settings to hide the zoom button on the bottom right of the player. It would make the player perfect for me and others..
Also can you give us an option to disable the up and down function on the player. Like the volume or brightness. I don't use either of those as I use the app on my TV, I accidently turn down the volume all the time.
Thanks!
+1 to "please let us hide the video zoom button on the OSD". My 70 year old mom constantly hits it by accident

Thanks for the support.
I feel they just need to make a few tweaks here and there and the player will be perfect.
Simplicity is key.

Yeah! For me it is only two small things before it’s perfect:
1. The video scaling button should be removable to prevent accidents (we always want it on”scale to fit” and won’t ever use that button).

Yeah those are both good suggestions.
I'd like the ability to turn off the up and down function, since I don't even need to change brightness and I change the volume from my remote volume buttons . So having the option to disable that would be great.
Oh yes I agree. I constantly change mx volume by accident. Disabling the up/down action would give me peace of mind.

Thanks for sharing your concerns.
You will be pleased to know that MX Player already has the options for you.
Request you to open MX Player Settings > Player > Controls and you will find the options to disable the gestures you do not use often.

That's for touch devices only. We are strictly talking about remote navigation. Theirs no setting to disable volume/brightness up and down with remote.
