In Playstore, some apps have introduction videos. For example, Jump Desktop. When I pressed the play button, multi-window was activated and the video was played on the right window. In this case, I would rather had the video being played full-screen. Can we do that without manually adjusting the size of the window?

Go to: Settings - Device - Multi window, and disable "Open in multiwindow view"
After that you can still use multi window, but those windows are not open automatically.
Also while in there you may want go to notification panel settings and make sure that the multi window toggle is in the quick settings panel rather than the available buttons section. That way you can toggle easily by bringing the notification shade down and panning left or right to find the toggle for times when you want to disable it altogether.
I usually keep the open in window on and use the toggle. I'm less annoyed by the feature i guess. I like it in play store when opening video samples of applications where while playing the developer's video I can read reviews or other info.

Sometimes I like to use the device in portrait mode. When I clicked on an introduction video from Play Store, a 2nd window was opened but the orientation of the video was in landscape mode. I had to rotate the device to watch the video. How come the video's orientation was not adjusted accordingly based on the orientation of the device?
Yeah there is no way to control that. I think the way samsung coded the launch action it doesn't check for orientation and adjust accordingly.
Is there a way to make suggestions to Samsung App developers?

You should provide detailed information of your problem. It depend on hardware of your device. To check - go to brightness setting of your main android setting and change it to maximum. Also, you may have forget to use brightness gesture in mx player. slide it up and you will get maximum brightness.

The mx player ignores my phones brightness settung. ... whether it's dim or max. ..
It uses its own.
Even when slide up to maximum on mxplayer. ... It's way way dimmer than my phones maximum brightness.

First of all I request you to report in the proper way in future.
By default, MX Player uses it's own brightness control only on playback. It follows your system brightness on all other screens like video list, settings, etc.
On playback screen it uses per window brightness control system provided by standard android api. If it's not working either there might be a bug in your system or some invise application like brightness control / power saver / any other overlaying widgets / call recorders / dialers may always run on the top of all other apps.
So, even if you change the brightness on mx, it won't reflect since the android will follow the brightess settings of the top most window
If you wish mx to use the system brightness, Goto Settings 》Player 》Screen & Disable Brightness settings. After disabling system brightness will be used all over the mx player.
Apologies. ...
I think that has worked. ...
Thank you.

I thought this had resolved the issue but I have resigned myself to the fact that it was a placebo effect. ..
In hindsight there is a tiny (If any) difference. ....
My system brightness at max is really bright but doesn't seem to get reflected on mx player (not that max brightness is any good)....
Please help.

As I have already told earlier, any invisible app can cause issue.
Go to application manager & force stop all applications installed by you. Goto running tab & ensure there is no user app is running.
Now Open MX Player & try again.
Hello,
Trying to do some research on how the Joying Intel Sofia units display the reverse camera, to see if there is a way to implement viewing at any time ( not just during reversing )
Reverse Camera works before Android has finished booting, most likely a basic Linux kernel with camera support, present in one of the SoFIA Virtual Machine partitions.
Once the Android has booted, SYU-1-C9-UIServer-V1.0 takes over, and does the rest. I believe it handles displaying the Reverse Camera video feed, as well as blocking the rest of the android UI from being accessible, and displaying the Video Adjustments overlay UI. Originally I believed that the MCU was taking over the display, but this was contracted when I enabled triple-tap zoom in accessibility settings ( using the AOSP Settings.apk ). I was able to zoom and move the screen around, definitely not the MCU locking us out and doing things on it's own. See video demo here:

If you disable SYU-1-C9-UIServer-V1.0, you will find that placing your vehicle in Reverse no longer automatically displays the Reverse Video UI, or block the Android UI. For those of you with hard buttons, some of them may be disabled while in Reverse gear ( unknown what detects this at this time ). AUX and RightCamera, as well as Sofia-1-C9-ExDvr-V1.0 will display a black video image, or have the current video input image freeze while in Reverse gear. Correct video will be restored once you are out of Reverse Gear.
I also discovered another APK, Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0. But this just seems to mirror the AUX input, without Audio. The only way I can launch the RightCamera app is using Nova Launcher's Activities Widget, selecting Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0's Main Activity. The upside to this, is unlike the AUX Sofia-1-C9-Aux-V1.0 App, Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0 doesn't pick up the audio input, so it doesn't mute all other apps while viewing the video feed. Now I can view my dash camera's live view, which I have hooked up to the AUX input at anytime, really cool! ( need this for reverse!!!! )
Also, Sofia-1-C9-ExDvr-V1.0, when run, always displays a "No video signal detected" message with the cloud background.
Perhaps we can modify Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0 to access the Reverse Camera? @gustden, @surfer63, @@AssassinsLament, or anyone else who is knowledgeable with these units and smali, could you guys take a look at UIServer and RightCamera to see if maybe this is possible? I've been looking around, but haven't found anything useful so far.
I have run apktool d on all the Allapp.pkg files, vfor the latest 03_28 firmware, available at pending link if you want to save some time and don't want to run apktool d on them yourself.
I'm also interested in this. Our previous MTCD with RK3188 was able to access the reverse camera with the Fcam app.
Nice find with the Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0 :good: Will link to this on home screen to preserve music. Thanks!
OK. Backup camera seems to show up as a rear camera to android.
Try this:
Code:
Reboot Unit.
Install Open Camera ([url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en[/url])
Once install is complete reboot unit
Launch the Open Camera app as soon as the unit is back up
stare at the live video of your rear view camera feed displayed.
Photo's don't seem to work in Open Camera. In other camera apps they turn out green. Tiny Camera shows the same green image. Camera MX takes green photos. See attached photos.
If you open the AUX or RightCamera applications, then you can not use any app to view the live feed until you reboot. For some reason they seem to lock the stream preventing other applications from accessing.
I ran across this while calling my friend on the head unit using hangouts. Normally, i do voice only call, i clicked the wrong button (video call) and there i saw my rear camera feed as I was driving. lol. Now if we could only get the aux video input as a front android camera...
I tried using open camera on my joying intel and it works but only if you haven't reversed yet. Once you go into reverse, you will not be able to access the reverse camera again until reboot

Any progress with this?
Also, has anyone found a way to show an image layout (guide lines) on top of front camera? I was trying to find an app that shows an image overlay on top of Android and I found one:
DesignOverlay but the problem is that once enabled it will show on top of all apps. I would like to find out a way to just show an image overlay on top of Sofia-1-C9-RightCamera-V1.0. This way I could use my own .png file to show guide lines that match perfectly my car (.png created with real life measurements around the car).
Any ideas? Practically I would need an app that launches two apps at the same time and exits both once the app is exited.
Is there a mod or way to get other apps playing video content to 'fill the screen' ... i.e. crop to fit.
Not make app full screen from multitasking or allow apps full screen settings ... I mean like YouTube has a floating crop button to fill the display with the content? ?

On both Amazon prime video and Netflix there's an option to fill the screen. Not exactly the same and sometimes you have to press it a few times but it does work.
Also in display settings you can choose which apps to make full screen. I toggled them all.
Please don't show interface when double tap to pause! I double tap pause play frequently to watch the subtitle clear , but the interface always blocks my view , it bothers me !!
I used many video player,when I double tap they just pause the screen,and don't show anything. hope to adopt my advice thanks ! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for your feedback. we will forward your concerns to our developers.
meanwhile you may use the following as a workaround
Goto Settings » Player » Controls
Set touch action to Pause/Resume.
Now, if you touch the screen it will just pause the video without any UI (except a pause icon on top left). If you touch the screen again it will resume video. If you want to access UI controls, tap on the pause icon on the top left.

Please support "smart view " for samsung devices..!
Hello,
Is it possible to add a feature like YouTube's double tap to fast forward/rewind the video. It doesn't necessarily have to a double tap, maybe it can be assigned to these buttons (www dot imgur dot com/a/WxqkR). Also as mentioned in the title it would be great to set the exact amount of time you want fast forward and rewind with 1 click. It would be useful to skip openings of various shows by simply double tapping or pressing a button.
But rewind and fast forward is already implemented. Swipe left/right and you will see.

I know, but usually the rewind/fast forward with swiping skips few seconds and doesn't start to play on the time you selected.

You can choose how many seconds you want to skip by swiping more or less.

I mean that it's not very precise, because the swiping is almost the same as moving the video player's slider, only that you can swipe anywhere on the screen. The idea I have in mind in my opinion is more convenient and stable than the swiping. It would be like in Youtube where you can move the video player slider (almost equivalent to swiping in MX player) or double tap to skip a set amount of time (equivalent to my idea).
Any plans on implementing the native android oreo picture in picture mode for mx player in the near feature? Considering its only a few lines of code and native to android now
