Hi!
I am having issues with the video assistant feature on my S8+, the subtitle option is disabled, thus every video i load in video assistant's full screen mode won't have the original subtitle. I can't seem to load it from my phone either.
Any solutions? Thanks.

Hey guys!
I'm quite new to the android world. I'm very happy with my One S, but I haven't found a way, to stream videos from my NAS with the screen off.
(In order to improve my language skills I listen to english tv-series before sleeping. Before I got my new phone, I used my Ipod Touch with the "Video Lock" app from Cydia)
The only way i have found to do it is to use diceplayer. In the settings of diceplayer you can select Background Playback. That allows you to power off the screen and continue video playback.
My setup I have found works best. I use ES File Explorer to navigate to my NAS. When I select a video file, it asks what player to use. I select diceplayer and once the video starts, I turn off the screen.
I have found that sometimes my wifi will go into low power mode with the screen off and playback audio gets choppy, so I have to use a widget called WIFI High Performance Widget.
thx, it works. I was using mediahouse+mxplayer, mediahouse+diceplayer works for me now!
Everytime I try to make a flash video full screen for some reason it just goes to a black screen. The video keeps playing and so does sound but its all black until I hit the back button to go back to small video then its fine again. This occurs with any and all flash videos played in the browser on desktop view from embedded YouTube videos to videos on ESPN, etc.
Any ideas?
I use opera mobile. It works pretty well for imbedded full screen YouTube videos. I sometimes have problems with the stock browser playing YouTube if the internet connection is not that good.
Device Manufacturer & Model: LG Nexus 5
Android Version: 5.0.2
Rom Info: CM12 02/28 Nightly, tested also on CM12 02/15 Nightly
Detailed Problem Description:
Hi. I have encountered a very specific issue with MX Player. When I am playing full HD portrait video and next video is full HD landscape, the Android video driver seems to completely crash in the event when videos switch. E.g. when portrait one ends and landscape one starts playing. Sometimes the device freezes with corrupted graphics, sometimes it recovers, but graphics are shifted and reboot is needed to resume normal operation.
I have reset the settings to default when reproducing the issue and only setting I am using is Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation. I am holding the phone in portrait, so basically the first video should be full screen on my phone and the second should be scaled down a lot to fit in portrait. It happens with both HW and HW+ codecs.
I have recorded two short videos which can be used to reproduce the problem. I have also recorded the behavior on the phone using another camera (this time the phone "kind of recovered").
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install MX player.
2. Set Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation
3. Play attached videos when holding the phone in portrait, the crash should appear when the first ends and the second starts.
See recorded video for details.
Logs from MX Player
Video 1 - portrait
Video 2 - landscape
Issue recorded using another camera to show what happens on the phone
It works in default video player and does not cause anything similar. I did not have a chance to try it on stock ROM yet. However, I have a lot of videos with different sizes and switching between them does not cause the issue. Just full HD videos.
Let me know if any more details are needed.
It happens on stock 5.1 too. Very annoying if you have mix of portrait and landscape videos recorded.

It looks like ROM issue if HW has same issue.
FYI, HW is default media player actually which is provided by the OS.

I did some more testing. It happens on all factory images I had for Nexus 5, 4.4.4, 5.0.1, 5.1. All of them exhibit the same problem. I tried also the SW decoder, but that did not tell me anything, as SW does not follow the tag for portrait orientation, so the portrait video showed up as landscape anyway.
Now the interesting part is that default player does not crash like that, when switching between the videos. But it takes longer to switch. It seems that it deletes the whole drawing surface and starts it again. Contrary, when switching videos in MX Player you can always see last frame of previous video stretch to the following video size before it starts playing.
I really like PIP mode for multi-tasking, I also like being able to lock my phone and listen to a video's audio (i.e. Background Playback). What I don't understand is why I can't have both.
When I have PIP mode turned on in the settings of both MX Player and VLC both will pause playback when I lock my phone. Is this a technical issue and if so does anyone have a solution or alternative?
YouTube does not seem to have this issue, as they can seamlessly transfer between foreground, PIP and background playback.
I've searched the internet but no one seems to mention this (either that or I'm awful at searching).

Unfortunately, it's not directly possible at the moment. However, you can achieve something similar by combining the existing settings.
Set PIP/Background Play mode to Background Play
Play any video file
Enter into PIP mode by using the onscreen button
Hope this helps.

Oh. That's a shame, but I didn't know about the button. I'll use that from now on. Thank you for the advice!
Hello,
I had been trying to record the Online Lectures I bought from an e-learning App.
But when I records the whole screen goes black. Is there any way to record those video lectures??
Also,
We need to turn off the developer option on settings to play the video lectures.
App uses automatic OTP detection and there is no way to manually type and verify OTP. So that we can't open it on any emulator.
Anyone please help!!!!
The black screen problem may occur because of the codec, media player, video acceleration function (overlay output) or copy-protection program.
