If I'm listening to audio in MX Player Pro on my Galaxy S7, it will interrupt for a second whenever I perform another operation, even though I have set the audio to play in the background. The settings for background audio are a little unclear (screenshot attached), but I've tried every configuration with no improvement.
This interruption happens when I minimize the screen with the home button or click the side button for the display to go blank, or basically any task. The audio does resume after that short interruption.
Is there a setting for it to play uninterrupted while performing other functions? Any info is greatly appreciated.

HI,
It's introduced in recent versions as there are some issues in certain devices.
We have also received the similar report from others.
In the next version, it will be optional. Users with issue can enable the new option to avoid the issue while others can get the old behaviour.
Thank you. Can you tell me the name of the option and where to find it in the settings once the new version is released?

There won't be any extra effort required on your end.
There will be a option called "Smooth Switch" just below background play. By default it will be disabled.
When it's enabled audio will fade out when you switch to background. It's for those who has issues.

Hello,
While watching video on MX player and when i try to increase/decrease volume, brightness and seeking forward backward with one finger slide, it is not happening directly. In version 1.7.19 it happens directly. Post that version, i need 2 taps of finger to do the above actions. With the 1st tap, you will get that seekbar and then you need to tap 2nd and slide for those actions. This is very annoying and I REPEAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT THERE IN VERSION 1.17.19.
I tried the below troubleshooting steps on the latest version and no luck in still using version 1.7.19 because it's free of that problem:
1. Restarted phone
2. Checked all MX player settings
3. Installed MX player codec (ARMV7)
4. Force stopped and cleared cache and data
5. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
6. Tried few older versions as well.
Disable System audio panel from Settings 》Audio. It won't appear again.
Hi, is there also a way to disable the message, when you increase the volume above 10, when headset is plugged in? Every morning and evening I have to increase volume to 13, and have to deal with this message. Message would make more sense once you exceed the default max of 15.

It's android's internal alert. I think it can't be disabled in the current version. But, I am not sure that whether it's possible to disable it permanently or not.

No, there is no workaround because this message is not from application process but from Android audio system service. And Google did not make any way to remove it because this is violation to EU regulation.

Question: "My volume is stuck at 50% and won't go higher, why?"
Answer: Blame Google. See this: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mx-videoplayer/-g9Mq6lIGAo/discussion
Quote of answer from original Google Groups thread:
This is an Android system "feature". Google added it to comply with EU laws. The EU requires companies to warn of "excessive volume on headphones" to protect your hearing.
If you go into MX Player Settings -> Audio -> Enable System Volume Panel, this will bring up the Android system volume panel whenever you change volume. This will bring up that volume warning at 50% that you see in other apps, so that you can clear it.
The reason this doesn't show in MX Player normally is because MX Player doesn't use the Android system volume panel by default. MX uses its own volume panel, the much cleaner, smaller one that we are used to seeing.
The warning shows up on Google Play Music because that app uses the system volume. If you are on headphones with any other app that uses the Android system volume panel, you would see the same warning.
Note that you'll have to manually acknowledge that warning every time you restart the device, as the phone system does not "remember" that you cleared it when the device restarts.

I should have posted my app in here a long time ago. But I guess it is never too late to post it and hope for some good feedback on how to improve the app even further.
What does SleepTimer do:
It simply gives you a way of stopping your music after x minutes. Set it, and listen to music (or a video) in the evening without having to worry about the music running at 3am and waking you up from your sleep. SleepTimer lets you even do more like turning off wifi and/or mobile data after it turned off the music so you do not get interrupted by those annoying WhatsApp messages .
Scenarios
1. Turning off music after falling asleep
2. Turning off remote music like iTunes Remote, YouTube over ChromeCast, ... (needs some configuration)
3. Like fall asleep while talking with your love but hate high phone bills? Let SleepTimer stop the phone call (needs some configuration)
For most use cases SleepTimer just works. Open it up, set time, start. Done. And it even looks nice (at least I think so).
Only like 6% of the apps need some additional configuration to make them work.
More details (only for those who want to know/read more)
The app uses many different techniques to turn off the music. Audio controls, audio foreground, and even notifications since the newest version. Sadly there are some really bad music players out there that do not support any way of stopping their music except for opening the app and using the stop button in there. In such cases there is only the way of lowering the volume (which I hate ). I hope those developers get to work and implement a proper Music Player. Luckily most apps work though.
About notifications (new since October 2014)
This I am actually pretty proud about and took me a while to implement. And it gives us two new features.
1. Stop music using the notification
So if they have a pause/stop/close control in the notifcation, one can add a custom action in settings, select the app and click on the button in the notification that stops the music. SleepTimer will then use that button in the notification to stop the music. That allows more ways to stop an app and allows to stop apps like iTunes Remote, YouTube with ChromeCast, ...
2. Wait until the end of a track
If enabled, SleepTimer will not turn off the music immediately but wait until the track ends. This is done using the text content of the notification. As soon as the text in a notification changes SleepTimer knows that the track is changing and it will send a stop request immediately. (As well it ignores numbers like 3:12 which is obviously not track information but time information)
Shake extend
If enabled, you can extend the timer by shaking your phone. So you can set some quiet chime to run one minute before the timer runs out. If you can still hear it then just shake to phone to extend the timer.
Root
One can enable root in advanced settings to have even more options when the timer ends. For example turning off the phone or turning on airplane mode.
I hope you do like the app. If not, let me know why. If you have any recommendations or questions, please just ask. As well any ideas how to improve the app further are welcome.
Cheers,
Patrick

It supports a lot of music and video players. Basically all of them that support the events of Android that good Audio Player apps should support according to Google Many players I tested (Stock, Google Play Music, TuneIn, Spotify, YouTube, ...) worked. And even if they don't work by default, try out adding a custom action in settings in on sleep actions.
Is is possible to turn off the device after x minutes?

Yes it is. But only if you have a rooted phone. If you do, then enable root in the advanced settings and then go into the On Sleep Actions settings where you will find the turn off phone option .
I think it would be great idea to add some notification with countdown(few seconds), before phone shutting down.
This is a really neat app! All the other sleep timers I tried didn't feature root options like airplane mode etc. Thanks a lot!
Just a little request: Could you add a screen off option as well? I mean sure, the device will turn off the display afterwards by itself, but I thought it might be useful.
Continuous sleep mode
Hi
I would like to know if the app can be configured so that if I fall asleep with earphones on and wake up and press the play/stop button on the earphones, theaudio I was listening to continues, but is automatically in sleep countdown mode without having to start Sleep Timer again.
This is the way the sleep mode in Smart Audiobooks works and it is very nice.
Thanks.
This is a life saver for parents
o to Settings - sound and vibration - Seperate App sound (all the way at the bottom)
turn on and pick the app you want(limited to 1 app at a time)
Then choose the location (I chose Music to bluetooth)
This way I can still listen to music and be able to hand my daughter my phone so she can watch youtube
Impressive, didn't think of that as a use case. Although I don't think I'll be handing anyone my phone just yet
For example (?) : can you watch a video/broadcast mute (sport game), and listen TuneIn ( running commentary ) at the same time ?
Actually android is deeply missing basic audio mix table !
Also can you (lucky owners) tell us if :
-AKG earphone are ip68 waterproof ?
-Google Music can be uninstall/disable ?
-is embedded EQ working with any browser/video app ?
Thx for sharing...

I have a specific question/problem related to this:
Currently I have Google Play Music assigned to Bluetooth.
This is cool because in the car, I can play music - but then play a game or something at the same time.
HOWEVER.....
In order for this to actually work, you have to go to the audio connections hub thing in the notification shade.
And switch your audio output to the phone.
THEN with the audio output set to the phone - itll use the override and send the play music to bluetooth.
You seemingly have to do this every time (I even used Tasker and Autotools custom settings, trying to detect which setting gets changed and make it automatic.... but couldn't see a related changed setting in the settings lists).
A bigger problem though, amidst my messing around to try to make this work better....
I selected "turn off connections manager" option.
Now I don't get that stuff in the notification shade at all.
And I cannot find a single setting that lets me access it again!
So now I can never use separate app audio.
Can someone help me!?!?!?
I have found this feature usefull for SatNav.
I have the phone connected to car bluetooth, so ALL audio on previous phones goes to the car - so as im listening to streaming radio etc, the satnav voice from TomTom kicks in and can be quite annoying - especially as I only want the voice for traffic and speed cameras.
With this feature, I can still stream music to the car but have the audio come through the phone speaker - well done Samsung

Give SoundAbout a look. There isn't much it can't manage.
One of my issues with the Google ChromeCast is that when the phone is used as a source, all audio is sent over that ChromeCast connection.
You cannot divert the audio to Bluetooth for bluetooth speakers/headphones.
Does anyone know if this new Samsung feature will allow you to divert ChromeCast audio to Bluetooth?
That would be pretty darn cool if it did.
EDIT: Btw, I don't have the Samsung phone.
I was linked here from a Google Pixel thread. But I'm really interested to know the answer to my question above.

Download Sound Assistant from Samsung in the play store. When you adjust volume hit the icon and then expand the window. To the right of the app volume slider you can switch sound output.

Thanks to the post above I was finally able to find the setting to enable the option to select the Audio output on my phone (Samsung S8+) see pictures attached. So if you've lost the option to select the audio output of you S8 follow these steps. (Not to be confused with with Separate app sound, which routes different apps to a bluetooth or phone output)
Find the Samsung Connect app
Click on the three dots to bring down the menu
Tap Settings
Tap Samsung Connect panel
Ensure this is turned on
Tap on Always show
and Finally tap on Audio output << This is the one! :good:

I am in the same situation (Pixel XL, MX Player Pro, just updated to Oreo) and background play stopped working. However, this does not consistently happen unless I am connected to a Bluetooth speaker.
I use MX Player for audio only often. This is the easiest way to reproduce the problem:
1. Connect to Bluetooth (in this case I have an Amazon Tap and I tell Alexa to connect to my phone).
2. After connecting start an MP3.
2. Press the power button to turn off the screen.
3. Wait a few seconds and the audio will stop playing.
4. Swipe to look at the notification for MX Player and note that the time in the MP3 is incrementing but no sound.
MX Player is *not* crashing. You can reopen the screen and press pause (wait) and then press play on the lock screen notification and MX Player will begin to play audio even when the screen goes back to sleep.
Note that this is not always consistent. It happens almost all the time, but I have done the above procedure and on some occasions audio will continue to play. Again, I think it happens much more often when connected to a Bluetooth speaker.
If you let me know how to collect a bug report or some sort of dev log when MX Player I will. But again, MX Player is not crashing when this happens.
I have the same issue since the last update on my nexus 5x running Android 8.
Update: it doesn't seem to happen when playing either local content, or a stream over samba. Only remote streams (I use megabox HD)

Ok, I was able to reproduce this. Apparently this isn't as cut-and-dried as any Bluetooth speaker causes it. I connected this to my Amazon Echo Tap and the problem happened, so I collected the log linked here:

However, I had trouble reproducing this problem with several other Bluetooth speakers, if that is relevant. It did happen before I knew how to collect bug reports but I wasn't able to reproduce it on any Bluetooth except the Tap this morning.

After the recent update to MX Player Pro 1.9.8 I think all of the background play problems disappeared for me EXCEPT for when I am connected over Bluetooth to an Amazon Tap.
I have tried every combination (with no Bluetooth, Echo, Echo Dot, various generic Bluetooth speakers and the Tap) and I only see the audio in background problem when my Pixel XL is connected to the Tap.
The symptoms are the same and easy to reproduce. You can see the player still incrementing time in notifications but there is no audio. When MX Player Pro is brought back to the foreground audio starts playing again and the position in the MP3 has still been incrementing while MX Player was in the background.
I took another report from MX Player Pro, linked here (I can't put outside links because my account is too young, this is the rest of the URL without dropbox.com prepended...is there some other way I should do this?):

It worked well in 14.1, but not in 15.1 ofc

This is caused by the new restriction when targetting the newer android SDKs. When the system force closes a foreground service (used to prevent it from getting killed when the device reaches low memory state), it can't be restarted again by the app itself. You have to completely force stop the MX. Then it will work again.
If it is possible, kindly collect the logs through ADB when the MX Player is getting killed by the system. It will help us to understand the issue.
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.
