[Feature Request] Voice Controls - MX Player

I use MX Player to play video lectures while driving.
Of course, while driving, I'm only listening to the audio - driving safety first.
During the lectures audio volume fluctuates and road noise fluctuates while travelling too, therefore a feature to control MX Player media volume channel with voice commands, such as Volume Up or Volume Down would be really practical.
Thank you for your considerations.

I second that. I will also suggest integration with Android Auto in a separate post.

Controling MX-Players volume

I have videos on my phone that I like to watch while listening to music on tunein radio. The problem is, I can't control the two volumes independently. Is there a way to lower the volume or mute the audio of the videos on MX-Player while I watch them and listen to my music, so that the audio of the video doesn't interfere with the music of the other player?

Unfortunately, volume cannot be controlled independently.

One thing I don't understand. If it is possible to lower the volume than system, so why don't it possible to make volume louder than of system? It is possible in windows but I don't know on Android.

[Q] Volume normalization?

Is it possible to actively normalize volume when I play music or videos or whatever from my phone? I have a few playlists in Google Music where some of the songs are incredibly quiet for some reason and others are "normal" volume. I have All Access, and these are songs from the service, not songs that I've uploaded.
I also want to know. When i watch tv or listen to radio commercials are extremely loud. Is there an automatic volume normalizer?

[Q] Bluetooth bug, speaker sleeps if silent audio

So, I'm not sure if this bug can be addressed in MX Player, but here's the issue...
I listen to audio books, a lot of them. If the audio is CD quality without any background hiss, then there are brief pauses of silence between sentences.
When there is a pause of silence for maybe 500 ms or less, my bluetooth radio or bluetooth speaker goes into a power saving mode until sound is heard again. When the silence ends and speaking resumes, the first syllable of the first word is usually chopped off.
How to address this?
1) If MX Player can instruct Android to 'Stay Awake' the bluetooth radio, that would be best.
2) If MX Player can send a barely audible signal or background hiss, that would keep my bluetooth radio/speaker from dozing off due to lack of signal being transmitted.
Again, this happens between almost every sentence if there is no background music or tape hiss. It also happens when listening to some talk radio programs I've listed to. To be clear, it's not [just] between tracks. I also turned off the options to fade in and out.
I am unable to enjoy audio books from any wireless headset or speaker.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 AT&T (d2att), running either stock 4.0.4 or 4.4.2 or CM12.1 nightlies.

Audio silence is actually not silence on device's view of point. While playing an audio stream and there is no sound, player actually sends series of silent packets. It means bluetooth speaker is still receiving packets even though it does not produce any sound.
Anyway, would you send more information to reproduce this issue on my side?
1. Sample video clip that can produce this issue.
2. Model name of your bluetooth speaker.

Volume booster for bluetooth speaker?

Hi all, first post here so please be gentle. I have a bluetooth speaker (Braven Ready Elite) that I use in a loud environment to listen to music and sometimes movies. I use the MX player app to watch the movies and am able to get the volume much louder when I use the boost volume option in the MX player app. In order for volume boost to work, I had to change the decoder from HW decoder to either HW+ decoder or SW Decoder in the app settings. It works excellent. I am very happy with the boost in volume for my speaker. For music, I use Spotify. I would like to have some sort of booster to make the music louder on my speaker. The best I can do is disable the EQ in the Spotify app and the speaker will go louder, but not nearly as loud as the movies in the MX player app when I enable the volume booster in the app. I have tried many volume booster apps but I think those are more for the speaker on the phone to go louder. I don't need that. I would like something comparable to the volume booster that is in the MX player that makes my bluetooth speaker go much louder. My phone is a Google Pixel. It is not rooted and would like to avoid doing so. Sorry for the long post but I think I've explained what need help with. Any help would be appreciated.
