I have player pro and it works dine with player pro, but I've grown to like the ICS music app. What would I have to name the files? And is there a specific extension? Cause I have a folder with artwork with an unreadable file extension

I had the same issue with the native Music app.
I couldn't see the covers after using Album Art Grabber etc.
But after I cleared the data of the music app, it fetched all the artwork.
So after using the art grabber, you should go to settings => apps => All => Music. There you push the button 'Clear data'. So you DON't have to do it all manually...
Good luck!

Why? There is a widget in the status bar whenever you listen to music ... I don't see a point for it . You can also look into headset controller and set the controls with double press of the button etc

What's the source of the stream? Have you tried doing the following in the settings of MXPlayer?
Code:
Open app > Settings > Player > Keep screen on (third option from bottom)
I've just watched a movie on my OPO through Google's Play Film app, and the phone didn't timeout for the whole lenght of it.

Using stock music player (don't particularly like Poweramp), is it possible to get full album art on the lock screen? When the S6 first came out, I used my friend's and it didn't appear to be an option - I wondered if it's now possible?
I think if you use the Google music app it displays full screen art.

It's possible, but not with the stock player. Use Playerpro, it has an option to display album art on the lockscreen..

I have tried using PlayerPRO but it still locks like the stock player and every other one. And before you ask yes I did have the full version.

It's in the settings. I don't know why it doesn't work for you. It works for me. Ohh well...
I would love to find out how to enable this feature on mine too, I miss it from my note 4. I'm using the galaxy s6 edge+ on the latest update.
Coming from an iPhone 7 Plus, I used the feature of YouTube playing in the background on a daily basis.
On Android I start playing a news clip or song then tab out to my web browser or stop watch, or any other app, and the media goes off.
How do I keep YouTube playing the background ?
The only way on YouTube app is by having YouTube Red subscription. It's a feature for red on Android. Others could point something out but from what I've checked and seen when using YouTube is by YouTube Red.

Not sure that its possible without root and xposed. Xposed hasn't been updated to work with Nougat yet though and that could still be some time away unfortunately. Might just have to live with it as is for the time being.
Thanks for the replies. I recall on previous Android phones that are rooted I used that Xposed module. But Xposed isn't compatible with Android N and the S8+ is locked down no root anyways for me.
Dang, that's unfortunate. YouTube Red might be your best bet then. Depends on how much you want it and whether you're willing to pay a monthly subscription to get it I suppose.
Sometimes I use the multi window feature to watch YouTube videos while using another app. It is a bit of a pain though if you just want audio as the minimum window size is still 1/3 of the screen.
I've tried a few apps that claim to play YouTube videos in the background but none of them worked very well.
There a app call OG YouTube somewhere in xda that have playback.
Try swapping top corning down to make the screen smaller. You can still hear and see the video and also move the smaller screen anywhere you want.
Use Firefox browser. It let's you play YouTube in background or screen off

Can you explain how it works on iOS? It seems crazy to me that YouTube requires you to pay a monthly subscription fee for background play on Android, but offers it for free on iOS.
If you mean playing within a web browser, and then going to another tab of the browser, I think Firefox for Android allows you to do that. If, instead, you mean the YouTube app itself, then you need YouTube red or some other (probably unsanctioned) method.

On my iPhone 7 Plus, I was using some program called 'ProTube' on stock iOS, not jailbreak or anything;
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/protube-for-youtube/id931201696?mt=8
I could start a video, and then move to do something else, and it would remain playing in the background until I manually closed it down. I get so used to it, and really liked it, now it's a shock not to have something like it on Android.

Yep you have to download the APK. They stopped support so the latest APK would be the last one you can use.
So you have to search XDA as the website took down the download links for OGYoutube.
The app still works without problems and should be a while until YouTube updates something to make it obsolete.
The lat update is OGYoutube 3.5.
Only thing is that you won't have the crop to fit. If in case you used it.

I couldn't get it to work at first either. Try going to options in Firefox and check "Request desktop site". After doing that I was able to return to the home screen with the audio still playing in the background. It seems to work with the screen off as well! :good:
Go to Youtube app, play video then turn off screen with the power button (just a click). Video will pause. Click on power button again and youll see time on top. Swipe the time left or right and youll see the youtube play button . Click play and it should work. It will not work any other way if you want to text or call or be on your phone but it will if you want to hear music and conserve battery. This is on my S8+ .....PS make sure your Pandora or any other music app is off.

You can't do this on snapdragon versions, which is what op has.
You have to choose desktop mode in the Firefox browser. I know how you feel I switched from iPhone as well
og youtube works like a charm
Hello ,The trick works on the galaxy s8 and s8 +, with any official youtube version.
To be able to do the youtube trick in the background without root, do the following:
● Open the application in the normal way.
● Select the video of your choice.
● leave the video playback.
● Go to the beginning, without closing the multitasking.
□ Here are two options to activate youtube in the background:
1-Through the play button of the headphones that we have connected to the phone.
● Close the default music player on your phone, since it is activated; When you press the play button on the headphones, the music player will be activated and youtube will not be activated.
2-Lock the screen and move the clock widget to the left, the youtube widget appears on the play button and ready; This option works without headphones or headphones.
◇Important never close youtube in multitasking.
□Luck ^-^.

Not really, app is very lightweight and is way mkre convenient to use without relying on any bugs in the system. It also lets you download the videos in multiple qualities.

If it wasn't a bug, why would Google make it a paid option included in youtube red subscription? Windows phone doesnt even have an official app for youtube so developers have implented it into their apps long before it was a thing on Android. I havent had an iOS device but a friend of mine confirms that the official youtube app doesnt support background play either so he has to use either Safari or some third party app.

why not youtube red. i havent paid for youtube red since it started. they always offer 4 month of googlemusic which include youtube red. just switch to different email. i have 3 gmail and i have been rotating everytime one expires. it says is for new user but if uhavent use the same email for over 6 month it will let u reuse it
YouTube red is not available in most countries.
It doesn't work on latest update S8 stock ROM...EU
