I can have Youtube and N7player playing at the same time without issue, so long as I keep the Youtube app as the top active app. Leaving it pauzes it. The Youtube app is apparently not capable of playing in the background. (Or I just haven't enabled that. I never use Youtube. Or Spotify. Or Deezer. Or any other streaming service.)
And second how I can make split screen with 2 different apps don't see option for this only when using Gmail and click link.

Drag the notification bar down with two fingers. Turn Multwindow on (if it's already on, leave it on.). Close the notification bar.
Hold the Back key (right softkey) or swipe from the right edge. This'll open the sidebar. From there, drag the icons onto the screen.
You can open up to 4 windows simultaneously.

Swiftkey has never supported MultiWindow. They mention it in their FAQ.

[Bug Report][Solved] Permanent overlay after video plays in background

Hi,
For the last couple of mxplayer updates, I've had an issue when I play video in the background. After I bring the app back to the foreground, the video 'title' in the overlay stays on the screen. If I bring the overlay up again by tapping, I get two titles on top of each other. To reproduce:
Play a video
With the video still playing, go back to the launcher (or another app)
Video keeps playing (correctly)
Re-open mx player
Video keeps playing, but the extra overlay is there
My nexus 4 has soft-buttons, that are set to autohide. I think that this is related - when I tap to remove the overlay there is a small (<1 second) window where the overlay is gone and the buttons still appear; I can avoid this problem by going back to the launcher in that window.
I'm running a nexus4, with stock lollipop (5.0.1). This only started happening in the last couple of mxplayer versions; it worked originally after I updated to lollipop when it came out.
I've attached the bug report .zip and two screenshots, both taken after reopening the app, while the video was playing. The second is after I tap to bring up the overlay; the duplication is clear there. This happens with any video; its not video specific.

I also have a same issue in z3. Sometime video title sticks in overlay.

This still happens with the latest update from the play store (v1.7.38)

This almost always fixes it - it still showed up a couple of times on my commute. I can't seem to work out how to reproduce it reliably though.

@Bradley2468 Please try new beta version, it might work better.

Thanks, looks good.

@bleu8888 Enable auto rotation mode in mx and place the phone in portrait orientation. Now play any video then click on pause and again long press on pause button. Background play service will be enabled. Press home button, mx will be minimised. Now place the phone in landscape orientation and open mx player from notification bar (mx currently playing as background service). There you will see a bug. Its only on rare case.
note: I am on latest beta build.

did u reported the error on google play , i dont find any error reported ?? please report it so that i can take a look into it why it is force closing

Would you please share an apk? I don't have the Google Play Market, but I wish to test your app. TIA

Just installed this player, it has a lot of potential! It would be good if you could add the following:
1. Repair the option to keep aspect ratio of album art, it doesn't work now, always stretches it!
2. Add option for separate artist images in Artist view, now it uses only album art
3. Add option for list view in the artist tab.
4. When you browse album tracks, the album art on the top is a low quality thumbnail, can this be fixed to use the same resolution as the now playing tab?
In the end, a question - What's the difference between marine and liquid players?
Cheers!

i will try to answer your query one by one
1)yup it is suppose to be stretching it, but it will be working as u said in next version.
2)will be added in future release.
3)it is already there in artist view
4)sure will be done in next release.
as per the difference marine is beta and 2.3+ supported and liquid is 4.0+ and perfertly stable release and will also gain many future feature updates.

I have been using your music player all day and I like it so far. I was using myplayer as my default but he changed the now playing ui and I don't like it. So here are my thoughts on your app so far:
UI: Very nice, looks very good and follows material much better than Google music does haha. I am looking forward to you fixing the album art cropping so the now playing screen isn't stretched.
2. Navigation nice and smooth moving around the app except for the now playing screen. When sliding to a different track it's not a smooth transition, you swipe and then a second later the art slides but it seems like there is a hesitation. Perhaps make it buffer the next couple of tracks album art so it doesn't have to load the new art each time as it seems it slows down the transition.
Also when you're in the navigation drawer and select a track to play it shows up on the bottom bar. I would like to be able to drag this up to show the now playing screen instead of having to tap it to open. Navigation should be about sliding and swiping and flowing smoothly. Once these issues are ironed out then you will have the best music player out there and I will happily purchase the pro version.

hi regarding your issue,
1. will be fixed in next version
2. yes there is a hesitation becoz it was never meant to be animated but i will see what i can do about the issue and if possible completely eradicate the hesitation.
3.there is a option in setting to open the slider when u play a song

I managed to install your player. The overall impression is very good. But there are few issues for me. First, I don't have lockscreen controls, even though it's enabled in options. Secondly, the player picked up my notification sounds from SD although I enabled the corresponding option. Now, I moved them to system partition and it solved my problem. And finaly: a song starts from the beginning, if the player was closed with that song paused. I wish it could remember the position. Thank you for your work

there is no option to disable notification sound showing in my app although there is a option to skip songs which are less than 45 seconds.
well it is supposed to be starting from where it was paused maybe a bug or device specific issue it works perfectly on all my 3 devices and emulator also

Let's make it clear: pause a song e.g. by pulling the earphone cord, then close the notification. After some hours I press play on the widget and the song starts from the beginning. Even if I tap the widget so it takes me to the "now playing" screen, where I see the progress bar telling me that a half of the song is been played, and press the play button the song jumps to the beginning.
I hope it's clear enough =)

Next/Prev buttons and seek not working since phone upgrade

I love this app, it's been my standard media player since my first Android phone.
I upgraded from the Galaxy S5 to the S7, and the player isn't working quite the same now.
The next/previous buttons used to load the next/previous file in the current folder, now next does nothing and previous only returns to the start of the current file.
The seek gesture, as I used it to seek ack and forth the video image would update while seeking so I knew where I was. Now it only updates after I lift my finger off the screen and stop seeking.
I assume there are settings I've missed for this, but I can't find them. Any advice is appreciated.

Isn't that the same setting that means when a video ends the next video starts automatically?
On my previous phone, the next/prev buttons loaded the bext/prev file, but when I finished a video it would return to the list and not automatically play the next vid.

Actually when back to list enabled, previous /next button won't change the track. I have already asked the developer to enable previous / next even if back to list is enabled.
Hopefully next update will fix the issue.

Hi
I use MX Player on my Galaxy S4 (i9505) with LineageOS 14.1
For me, the previous/next button does not work anymore.
Settings > Player & "disable back to list" has NOT solved the problem.
Whether enabled or disabled.
I use MX Player synonymous on my other phone and have importet these settings to my Galaxy S4.
This also has not solved my problem.

First one is not a bug at all. In recent version of Samsung file manger & Gallery it uses content scheme instead of file scheme. For example it sends some odd path to MX Player (like Content://[email protected]/external/video/12345)
You can confirm it by opening the properties while playing the video. In this case MX Player won't aware the actual location of the file. So, it's almost impossible to use next/previous as the content folder is unknown to the app.
For the second one, Goto Settings >> Player and enable Preview while Seeking. That's all.

"You can confirm it by opening the properties while playing the video. "
Thanks for this note.
The previous/next track button works again. :good:

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!

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).

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.

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.
