[Bug] Lock Mode Issue on Xiaomi Mi3 - MX Player

I have problem in Mx player with it's lock mode when I lock the screen the video continue to play but this is were problem occurs I cannot unlock it from lock mode because there is no toggle to unlock it. And on the contrary all video gestures such as video zoom, Brightness, Volume,Video Seek,etc. Do work. It used to work fine on my samsung s duos but I'm having problem with my new mobile Xiaomi mi3 running on android 4.4.2.

It looks like system's internal problem. Are you using stock ROM?

@1923swapnil
Are you using kids lock?

I had tried out the kids lock , kids lock (touch effects) and lock but none worked for me. And yes I'm running on the stock miui rom

@1923swapnil
If you have installed & enabled the kids lock, then you have to touch all four corners of your screen in the clockwise. It will unlock the player.

Hmm. I've tried it on my Xiaomi Mi Pad running Android 4.4 but lock worked just as expected.
I will try to make a workaround for this issue but all keys will not be blocked.

I think In kids lock there won't be any dots.
Try Kidslock + touch effects
When You can touch the screen MX Player will show some animation. So you can see whether it detects touch input or not.
If it's not detecting then there might be something which prevents mx player from getting the input. We have to check which one is interfering with mx lock screen controls.
If it detects then you haven't touch the screen properly. you have to touch properly in the each edge of the screen in clockwise to unlock.
eg: Top left - Top right - Bottom right - Bottom left
BTW in lock mode (not kidslock or kidslock + touch effects) if you touch the screen there should be a lock botton on the top left side of your screen. Touching it will unlock the device.

I have tried out what you said but then also it's not working. Video players such as uc browser inbulid video player and with vlc beta version this video players lock mode works fine. I think so its a problem with mx player. Probably it's not compatible with my mobile.

Is it a translation error? I cannot figure out what exactly the bug is.

Hmm, that's weired. I checked translation but there is no error as you know.
Maybe resource is not installed or corrupted.
Please tell him/her to completely remove and install MX Player again.

Ok.
And i get one small bug. When I lock the screen and then unlock the top bar very fast disappears. This small bug is reproduced in Mode #3 only.

[Q] Lock mode causes top part of video to be blacked out

When I lock the screen ("Lock mode"), it blacks out the top part of the screen. This happens for all video types that I have tested.
I am using MX Player Pro on Nexus 5 (stock, unrooted).
I have tested with both "MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON)" (from Play Store) and "Arm v7-Neon" (from the sticky on DTS and AC3).
I don't know how to attach screenshots on this forum, so I've put links to them on my Dropbox:
Playing normally, you can see the full video and the time at the top-left corner of the screen.
With locked screen, the top part of the screen (75 pixels) is blacked out; the time is hidden along with the top of the video.
What can I do to fix this, please?

I've tried to reproduce this issue on my Nexus 5 and 6 but can't.
Would you try other locking modes? Lock mode can be selected on Settings > Player > Screen lock.

I hadn't noticed that setting (I was looking only at the settings available while playing the video).
Mode #3 works. Thank you for the advice.

What we really need is chromecast support!
So far the only app playing AVI it is Google Photos!
We need this app to support chromecast as soon as possible!

I believe that proper UI for screen minorring -- including HDMI out, Miracast, Chromecast -- might be supported in early version of 1.8.x

It is just in technical review stage but will be supported whatever.
And If casting is supported only on limited number of container formats, it would be hard to be called "supported".
any news on this?, I love watching on my TV screen mirroring from my phone, please add the option to screen mirror whilst the screen display is off or make it go dark totally, when I screen mirror with VLC android it turns off the screen but MX player is much better and I would prefer to use it for HD videos, there's no point in watching on TV and my phone is showing the video at the same time, please make this happen.
has this been implemented?

what do you mean?
I am looking forward for this feauture as well to be implemented. Right now I am able to turn off my screen using a third party application which turns off my phone's screen with the proximity sensor but keeps the video playing on my TV, the only problem is that for some reason the subtitles "hang" exactly when the phone's screen is turned off..
Example: I turn off the screen while the subtitles say "Hello" and this "Hello" message will stay there until the video finishes or I turn on my phone's screen again. It will be better if MX Player had an option (for example a button) which turns "off" the screen, and turns it "on" on tapping or double tapping the screen again, so we don't need any third party apps to achieve this result.

What 3rd Party Software do you use to turn off your screen?
I am using Proximity Service (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ss.proximityservice), another alternative to it is Black Screen Of Life (http://bsol.derpdeveloper.com) which works too, but I prefer the first one. They are doing the same thing and both have problems with the subtitles ( I think it's a problem from MX Player since the video doesn't have any problems).

I would also like to know if this feature has been implemented yet?
When I play video with MX Player, connected to my TV via HDMI cable, everything play's fine but screen on my tablet stays ON. Even after choosing Background Play from the menu, the screen stays ON.
If I use the UHD Player(stock and suck(because I can't choose what to play next and it has no settings)) then the screen turn OFF. Please add this feature in MX player, people have been asking for this since 2015 and had this problem since 2012!

It could be an issue for the protector too.

bug in MX Player Pro v 1.9.24 (Android)

There is a bug in MX Player Pro for Android, v 1.9.24... at least, when it runs on my Pixel 2 with Android version 9. (I can give full kernel version and build number if needed).
1) When the movie starts, it sets the brightness (backlight) to medium low.
2) Swiping up-down the right side of the screen changes the volume.
3) Swiping up-down the left side of the screen also changes the volume.
Note that in MX Player (free version), swiping up-down the left side of the screen changes the brightness (backlight).
This has been broken for months!!!
I like the GUI.... I can't stand ads, so I paid for the Pro version... but the paid version has a bug that the free version does not!
OK, OK... I finally found where things were going wrong:
Apparently, my the box to optionally show the brightness control was UNCHECKED. I checked it, and now things are working as I'd like.
For others with this problem, you can check the required box either way:
From the video list window: (menu dots) -> Settings -> Player -> Controls -> make sure "Brightness" is checked.
From the video player window: (menu dots) -> Display -> Settings -> Controls -> make sure "Brightness" is checked.
Does anyone notice the auto rotation bug?
Does anyone notice that the auto rotation works sometimes even when it is turned off? It quickly goes to landscape mode and then switches back to portrait.
For those of you who didn't notice this one, Try playing a video in landscape on MX Player with Auto Rotation OFF.
Then press the back button. If I'm right the display will go back and forth between portrait and landscape mode for once.
I'm using this App in Android.

Indeed, it's a bug on the Android itself (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/69168442) which is yet to be fixed by the google. Can you please specify the MX Player version you are using? We have already implemented a workaround for the same in the recent update.

In the newest Android UI 2 ETF5 for Note 9 there is a bug. When you record a movie in a portrait mode, then want to view it clicking from the camera app itself, then video orientation is never correct. It is always landscape.

Issue on Android 10

On Android 10, the navigation bar is not hidden when in full screen mode. Both the 2 buttons one, and the one button (only gestures). Other video app's don't have such an issue. Please fix that, because now the app doesn't use all the available part of the screen in full screen mode.
I use a Nokia 6.2, with a FHD+ display (2340x1080).
