[Q] Nexus 5 browser video playing issue and media volume bug - General Topics

hey guys i'm new to the forum so please excuse if there are any mistakes.
So few days back bought a google nexus 5 and i'm loving it But i am having two issues with the phone:
(1) when i try to play a video in the browser the option "complete action using : mx player, etc..." does not appear. Instead the video is played by a default browser player (not default video player ) which sucks big time and takes a loooong time to buffer. i have tried different browsers (dolphin, chrome..) but no luck . I have been using android for a looooooong time and never had this problem.
(2) this is not a serious issue but is bugging (no pun intended ) me a little. while listening to a song or playing games when i change the volume the small window showing the media volume level appears as usual. But when i change the volume using the volume rocker though the volume changes the volume level on the screen remains stuck. Also if i try to change the volume using the screen i'm unable to do that. But in case of Call volume, etc everything works fine. Is this a bug or something else?
Hope someone is able to help and thanks in advance

W100 and WM6 Official (ANZ Release)

Hi All, Just a general interest post..
The W100 headphones appear to function very nicely in the official WM6.
Now when you tap the power button to turn off screen / lock keys my music keeps playing under windows media.
As for earbuds I am using a set from a SE w800i headset. Would not satisfy any audiophiles but they are ok for me and the length is perfect for the W100.
Have had some problems with Media Player Music Library
I just delete:
-Delete the folder \CF Card\MSMETADATA
-Delete the folder \CF Card\WMDRM
and it is all ok again..
I found the workaround from xda-developers - always pays to search..

Not quite as good for me...
When I turn off the screen the music keeps playing, but only till the end of the song I'm listening to. Will not play any other songs until after I turn on screen.
Not a biggie really.

Have not had this problem.. If i select a library / album it plays till all songs are done..
Just as a side note today i had an album playing with TomTom running at the same time (sceen on) and voice prompts were playing over the music with any issues.
Other the TT i have not played with any settings all is default load.
You're Right
If you select album it will play the whole album through while screen is off.
I was having a problem because I was trying to play all the music on my mini SD in shuffle mode.
Seems that the screen needs to be on in order to shuffle the music.
I'll keep testing.
Hmmm that's weird. The problem seems to have fixed itself.
Don't know what I did exactly...have hard resetted several times since flashing. Different software combinations seemed to have adverse effects.
But I've noticed things more stable since I upgraded from SPB Shell Mobile v1 to v1.5.
Could just be coincidence though. Either way I'm happy it's working like it should
I seem to have this problem. I;ve not got shuffle mode on.
Also notice if I select album to play and then pause then play again the problem occurs.
Need to do some more testing but would be interested to know what others have found.
Also I have the W100 which people are complaining about. It does what its meant to with WMP and if I can overcome this play problem then I don't see a problem it is doing its job.
Capeli - i noted in some other thread you got a W100 too. what's your view on it now you've used it a while?
Problem with keepting screen off...
Hello~
I wonder whether anyone else has similar issues but...
For me... when ever I press any button to adjust "volume", "Fw/Rw", "Pause/Play" etc...
Screen just turns itself on~.
I just hope that there is way to keep screen off whilest making any adjustments on wmp...
Hope HTC will provide updated cab file to resolve this if this is common
issue with everyone.

People are complaining because the w100 only works with wmp and most people don't use it. It's library sucks, the screen turns on, there's no "exit player", etc... How hard would it be to allow the W100 to work with other software? :\

System/Music volume is stuffed in ICS stock ROM

Hi all,
Recently updated to official ICS. I like to listen to music on my HTC, and I found a major glitch. Whenever you are playing music (with the stock player), and there is another system sound (ie SMS notification), the entire media volume of the phone dies.
For example, I am listening to music and I receive a SMS. I hear the SMS and the music stops playing. I check the music app and the slider is still moving but there is no sound. After that point there is NO media volume at all! I start a game. No sound. I start a video. No sound. Youtube. No sound. Only way to fix this is restart the phone.
If I'm listening to music and I wanna play a game. I start the game and the game has its own sound. The music stops playing and the game sounds are also now gone. Only way to get any sound back is to restart.
Basically whats happening is if there ANY other non-music sound, it ends up killing the phone's Media volume. Only way to fix is restart.
Anyone else have this problem?
Running stock ICS 4.0.3 Vodafone Australia ROM.
Sounds like a fluke - cause this doesn't really happen to anyone else. Since you're stock, the way to fix most issues is to wipe your data and start from scratch. Most people who have random issues like this do that and it clears up.
Not its not a fluke. I can reproduce it even after a factory reset. It only happens with stock player not another player I downloaded from Play.
Maybe its a problem with the Vodafone ROM.

If you can reproduce the issue with a factory reset then perhaps you could try flashing your RUU and see if the issue persists. I do know that what you're describing is NOT a wide spread problem, and that means it's either isolated to your device or to VODA's build...

I meant fluke as in only happening to you, not only happening once.
Try Grogg's advice. Hell, flash his rom, music player works great in it.
Similar issue here
I'd just like to say I have a similar issue with mine. If i am listening to music and receive an SMS or email notification then the music volume increases to match that of the notification. Pressing either volume up or down then changes it one step from the original volume.
I also have another issue with the default music player. If I am listening to music at work, press pause then remove the headphones (when leaving my desk for a short while) after plugging headphones back in when I press play the sound quality is often seriously distorted. Pressing pause then play again always seems to sort this out...
I've noticed 3 or 4 little bugs with the latest (UK) release on my phone, I keep expecting another update to sort them out but so far nothing...

Volume button changing media volume, not notification volume

For some reason my volume keys are not functioning properly. I have already tried to reset and it does work for a little bit but it eventually goes back to the media volume (like if you were in Youtube)
I haven't run any apps aside from Hangouts an everything in the background is closed. Any ideas?

I can confirm this same issue with my Nexus 5. Volume buttons initially controlled the notification volume, but now are only controlling the media volume. This occurs even on the home screen. The only way I can control the notification volume is to go into Settings->Sound->Volumes and change it manually.
Does anyone know of a potential fix for this?
Same problem here.

Check if there is any kind of media player running (Podcast, Music, Pandora) it doesn't have to be playing anything, but I have noticed that if one is open it will change the media volume 8/10 times. Also tapping on an empty section of the home screen, then immediately changing it seems to trigger the ringer/notification.
Hopefully this helps

Thanks, I tried but actually for me is not working. So when I touch empty space on my home screen, nothing changed. Actually I'm not use any media player. Today I watched couple of video via chrome and YouTube. But anyway thanks for trying to help us.

Bluetooth headphones resume playback not working

Hello,
I use a pair of true wireless Soul X-shock earphones to listen to seminars when out jogging etc using background playback. (Samsung Galaxy S7 and MX Player Pro)
The play/pause function (on the earphones) works as it should if there is less than an approx 5 minute delay between button presses...
However, when the video is pause is longer than 5 minutes I find the resume function on my earphones no longer operate and background playback of the video is completely halted.
Not only that, when resuming playback on my phone screen and then pressing the home button or lock screen the video does not play in the background as it should.
I have found the only way to remedy this is to force quit MX Player Pro directly and start it up again. That way the background playback function behaves like normal again.
The problem also happens immediately if I put my ear phones back into the charging case and take them out to use them again.
I am able to use spotify without issue taking my ear phones on and off but MX Player Pro behaves very differently.
I have also noticed the background playback for MX Player Pro on the notifications bar gets killed after about 5 minutes of no playback, requiring a full restart of the app before it can come back again.
I have already added MX Player Pro to the power saving exceptions list but the issue still happens.
Is there anyway to fix this via settings or via new update?

Thanks for your feedback. When you pause the playback manually, MX Player will no longer use the foreground service. So, the system may kill the app to reclaim the resources if it is required for some other process. Once it's killed by the system, it may not be able to receive the media button controls. So, you can't resume the playback from the headset. However, everything should work as expected when you open the app again. If you found any abnormal behaviour, kindly provide us with more info so that we can investigate it further for you.

Audio Statttering and lagging

Hello
I have a serious problem that's gonna drive me crazy,
When I play a song on any music player app at it statter and lag every 3 sec, same issue with recorded voices or videos from youtube also local video in my device, also video or audio on the browsers, issue is happening with speaker, wired headset or wireless one.
My phone is redmi note 11, rooted with Lsposed.
the problem is not visible right after rebooting the phone but when any song/video is played after almost 10 sec it starts lagging and stattering even the volume control bar to increase or reduce the volume become laggy at same time when the played song lags, I have checked the battery optimisation and those app aren't optimized by it.
I tried everything disabling lsposed and it's modules same issue.
Unrooting the phone no changes
I removed all the app that I installed same issue and kept the default rom apps same issue
When I boot the phone in Safe mode the issue is not there and the music is played with no issue even the volume control bar doesnt lag.
Anyone has any idea or is there an app that monitor what's happenig that will help to discover the source of the probléme
