Please describe the problem in detail.
Back button during video playback used to cause video to play in the background when background playback is turned on. Now it stops the playback. Home button still allows background playback.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play a video with background playback turned on.
2. Press the back button in the video playing screen.
3. In 1.8.4, video would play in the background.
4. In 1.8.7 beta 1, video stops playing.
5. Pressing home button in both versions causes video to continue playing in the background.

If I watch a video thru the gallery, video player, play store, or YouTube the video freezes but audio keeps playing. If I tap the screen to bring the menu up the video works but when the menu fades the video stops again. My rom is in my sig.
Found its related to checking gpu overlays under settings /dev options. I usually check it after I reboot because it makes my menu button more responsive using Apex. Very weird. Guess I have to live with the menu button lag.
Running Viper 3.1, with the H/K audio mod...AM a GPAA and now a YTMK subscriber. Despite having the settings checked to enable background audio playback for music videos in YTMK, the audio shuts off when I navigate away from the video.
Anyone have this issue or any ideas? Obviously not the end of the world....just curious.
EDIT: It does work (background playback) when starting out in the YouTube app and playing a video.
It does NOT work when you are in GPAA and you click on the video button and then YouTube Music Key initializes.
One annoying behaviour with XBMC/KODI (RC3) is that upon returning to home with a video still playing, if you open another app it continues playing in the background. This is undesirable and I would like the home button to also Pause/Stop video is this possible?
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.
