Hi everyone, I'm having this issue for a couple days. You know there are sponsored videos in some games and you earn in-game promotion as much as you watch them. For a while none of any game/app in my device let me watch any sponsored video. All other ads still stay but videos don't. It's just saying "We don't have any video for you" when I tap to watch. I never had this issue even once for months.
Only difference I did in my device is changing the local time for a couple minutes. I changed it to a past date but I didn't run any app. Tried to restart the device but didn't work. Now everything is just like before but I'm suspecting is it because of this little date change or not. Please give me some advise to fix this issue, thanks

Sorry for 2nd bump.. but I'm still not able to watch any promotinal video in games/apps. Any idea?

Occasionally I like to watch some very long video podcasts, but I usually only listen until it sounds like something important is happening, then I go back to the video. This is easy enough to do on a pc, but I would like to do the same thing on my droid. Does anyone know if such an app exists or if it would even be possible? From what I have read, older versions of android require a video "surface". Not sure if this holds for 2.2/2.3. Even just being able to shut of the screen would help. Thanks ahead of time to those who provide insight!

Have you tried Act 1 Video Player? I can't post a link because I am new here. I saw a review for this app, and it says it has a "play in background" option. The review said it cost $2.49, but there is a free trial version.
I currently use an iPhone. I had a Motorola Atrix for a few days, but returned it, because I could not get it to play video podcast in the background. That was before I found the review for the above mentioned app.
I can't get this thing to work with my Skyrocket. It installs and even opens just fine, but anytime I open any video it plays about 5 seconds of commercial before freezing. I have to force stop it in settings to try opening it again but again anytime I try and play any video live or replay it starts up for a few seconds then freezes. It would appear that the problem is with the app itself, since it has an overwhelming number of 1 star ratings on google play with a ton of people reporting the same issues over several different phones, but I was just curious if anyone has gotten it working on the skyrocket...
If this thing could actually work it'd be really neat. Live streaming video of almost every match you can think of.

I've tried it on a few different devices and didn't have luck with any of them.
(skip to second paragraph if you're not interested in a mild rant)
In one of the recent updates for the YouTube app while streaming to the Chromecast it'll automatically add every video you've watched to the TV queue. That's fine as I don't mind having a list of the recent videos I've watched, but the part that bothers me (enough to create a thread, which I can't remember the last time I started one) is that the video is added to the top of the queue. This makes every video that you just F***ING watched play all over again! Again, I'd be fine with this if there was any type of preferences within the YouTube app to disable such an asinine "feature" that I'm pretty sure was solely created to boost the number of views of their videos (as I see no other purpose). It really feels like Google is going the way of taking away many options within their apps and it's bugging the s**t outta me to no end. The Chrome browser within Android use to have a plethora of options such as choosing user agents and things of that sort but that option is no longer available either. [/rant]
Is there any way to disable the autoplay "feature" of the TV queue while using the Chromecast, or the TV queue altogether if needed? My current version of the YouTube app is 5.7.41 and I'm not sure when this bug was introduced exactly.
Let me know if there's more information needed, I've been out of the modding scene for awhile (I'm actually pleased with stock Android on my Nexus devices).
Thank you for any assistance that can be provided, even if it's the version number that I can roll back to before the TV queue.
Just to say that i also think its fu..in anoying! I was searching for some kind of solution and found this thread. Only thing left is to hope that youtube will change that in the upcoming update...
Well, I appreciate seeing that I'm not the only one being bothered by this. I had forgot about this thread do to the (seemingly) lack of interest and I was reading comments on my tablet while a video played on my Chromecast, when the video ended it changed to the next video on my tablet and gave no ****s as to what I was doing. Android/Google used to be the king in my book as they gave options for everything, but they seem to be following in the same footsteps as Apple nowadays and it is sorely disappointing.
Ok, this has got to be affecting more people now. I thought my newest mishap was just a glitch, but even after reboots the bug (feature) exists now anytime I stream anything from my laptop as well! The goddamn problem is also WORSE than the tablet issue because at least the tablet takes you to the video it is streaming so you can stop it an remove it from the queue. Apparently that wasn't a big enough F*** UP(!) for Google so now if you play a youtube video from a laptop that is part of a playlist, then play a different video that's not within that isn't within a playlist, when the non-playlist video is over the previous playlist will start playing again. ARE YOU ****TING ME!?!?! Now I have a playlist playing on my Chromecast that the ONLY ****ing way I can get it to stop is to start playing another video and then stop it!. Please inform me that the lead developer/designer setting the path for Chromecast has autism or some other disorder they have a legitimate reason for being this ****ing stupid.
I totally agree with you guys, it doesn't make any sense why it behave that way!!
bumping this, as i'm bothered by this as well
wonder why it doesn't affect more people though... it's probably not a widely used feature
I am also very pissed off with this! Every now and then, in the middle of the video, it pops up.
It stays there for hours (at the minimum) and it lowers that brightness and has the annoying symbol for it covering the content of the video!!!
This is extremely disappointing!
Bothered by the same thing. The problem was fixed a while ago, but now it seems it's back. As soon as I want to play/cast a video, the TV queue is populated with all other videos in that playlist. I would like it to play THAT video, then stop. :/ I can removed one and one video, but that sucks when it's maybe 60 videoes in that list.
Yesterday I recorded videos with my phone. Today I wanted to watch them and I could watch two videos but I couldn't watch the third video. When I try to open it with the Albums app it says that "Cannot play video. Invalid URL." when I try to open it with Google photos app it just says that "Can't play video.". The video is in mp4 format and was recorded with my Sony Xperia Z2 running stock rom and not rooted. The three videos were recorded the same way. How can I recover that video? If you need more details just ask them. Please help!
Its probably not recoverable, that error you got suggests the video was from the web, a URL is usually for a web address. See if there is somewhere online that you were viewing videos on or an app that you may have viewed/downloaded a video in, see if you can view it like that.
can someone help?
If you can't view it then its corrupted, a corrupted video can't be fixed unless you're willing to tear the file open and manually edit each bit so that it shows all the video and audio that you want it to, if you've got a few months to play around with it. You'd have to fix every bit and piece from start to finish to make sure it plays right and shows what you originally recorded. That's no easy thing even for those that do it every day, it takes a lot of trial and error and extensive knowledge, you'd basically be computer generating all the missing pieces then you've got to get it to blend in so that it plays correctly. Its only ONE video, I hope it wasn't a really important one because unless you know how to piece it back together like a forensic scientist its gone for good, but I'm guessing that you don't have that kind of knowledge or you would have already done it, its been this long and you haven't fixed it and noone is answering so I'd say you're out of luck, give up on that ONE video and move on. Just saying I really think you're wasting your time.

ok, I couldn't do anything with it so I haven't wasted my time, but it was a good video, but not so important
Even as an 5+ years' MX Player Pro user, I still struggle with the limited options available for the end of video behaviour, which are:
(a) return to the media list, or
(b) run into the next unrelated video(*).
They go well along with media junky habits. However, both options feel awkward if you want a smooth, immersive, zero distraction experience, watching nothing but this one deeply moving masterpeace, today.
There definitely should be an option that
(c) simply halts playback at the end, showing a still image of the last frame
- just as you see a still image of the first frame at the beginning, i. e. before starting playback.
I'm stunned that apparently, this natural preference is neither considered nor discussed (publicly). I would greatly appreciate if it was implented!
Thank you!

It's a trip no one has responded to this. I have exactly this same wish. Every other video player I've used has an option to simply stop the video at the end or repeat it. MX Play has neither option. Don't
know why.

Thanks for your valuable comments. We would like to let you know that MX Player already has the option to loop the current file. Request you to enable the loop one function from the quick shortcuts on the screen or from the play menu.
With regards to stopping it on the last frame, we regret to inform you that it is not prioritised as we found it useless in most of the common use cases and will unnecessarily keep the decoder component active. However, you can enable the "back to list option" to close the player and return to file list on completion of the playback.
Trying to get used to this app and just can't do it. As far as I can tell this app wants you to do everything within the app like start a movie for example. It doesn't work as well when starting a video from outside the app. For example clicking on a movie from say the Gallery app. After playing a video, I want it to return to the app I came from but mxplayer wants to return to it's own videos list. I have tried to get a refund but the option is no longer there in the Google Play Store. I have uninstalled this app. Can I get a refund?
Edit: Never mind, got a refund. I'm good.
