Hi All, Just a general interest post..
The W100 headphones appear to function very nicely in the official WM6.
Now when you tap the power button to turn off screen / lock keys my music keeps playing under windows media.
As for earbuds I am using a set from a SE w800i headset. Would not satisfy any audiophiles but they are ok for me and the length is perfect for the W100.
Have had some problems with Media Player Music Library
I just delete:
-Delete the folder \CF Card\MSMETADATA
-Delete the folder \CF Card\WMDRM
and it is all ok again..
I found the workaround from xda-developers - always pays to search..

Not quite as good for me...
When I turn off the screen the music keeps playing, but only till the end of the song I'm listening to. Will not play any other songs until after I turn on screen.
Not a biggie really.

Have not had this problem.. If i select a library / album it plays till all songs are done..
Just as a side note today i had an album playing with TomTom running at the same time (sceen on) and voice prompts were playing over the music with any issues.
Other the TT i have not played with any settings all is default load.
You're Right
If you select album it will play the whole album through while screen is off.
I was having a problem because I was trying to play all the music on my mini SD in shuffle mode.
Seems that the screen needs to be on in order to shuffle the music.
I'll keep testing.
Hmmm that's weird. The problem seems to have fixed itself.
Don't know what I did exactly...have hard resetted several times since flashing. Different software combinations seemed to have adverse effects.
But I've noticed things more stable since I upgraded from SPB Shell Mobile v1 to v1.5.
Could just be coincidence though. Either way I'm happy it's working like it should
I seem to have this problem. I;ve not got shuffle mode on.
Also notice if I select album to play and then pause then play again the problem occurs.
Need to do some more testing but would be interested to know what others have found.
Also I have the W100 which people are complaining about. It does what its meant to with WMP and if I can overcome this play problem then I don't see a problem it is doing its job.
Capeli - i noted in some other thread you got a W100 too. what's your view on it now you've used it a while?
Problem with keepting screen off...
Hello~
I wonder whether anyone else has similar issues but...
For me... when ever I press any button to adjust "volume", "Fw/Rw", "Pause/Play" etc...
Screen just turns itself on~.
I just hope that there is way to keep screen off whilest making any adjustments on wmp...
Hope HTC will provide updated cab file to resolve this if this is common
issue with everyone.

People are complaining because the w100 only works with wmp and most people don't use it. It's library sucks, the screen turns on, there's no "exit player", etc... How hard would it be to allow the W100 to work with other software? :\
hey guys i'm new to the forum so please excuse if there are any mistakes.
So few days back bought a google nexus 5 and i'm loving it But i am having two issues with the phone:
(1) when i try to play a video in the browser the option "complete action using : mx player, etc..." does not appear. Instead the video is played by a default browser player (not default video player ) which sucks big time and takes a loooong time to buffer. i have tried different browsers (dolphin, chrome..) but no luck . I have been using android for a looooooong time and never had this problem.
(2) this is not a serious issue but is bugging (no pun intended ) me a little. while listening to a song or playing games when i change the volume the small window showing the media volume level appears as usual. But when i change the volume using the volume rocker though the volume changes the volume level on the screen remains stuck. Also if i try to change the volume using the screen i'm unable to do that. But in case of Call volume, etc everything works fine. Is this a bug or something else?
Hope someone is able to help and thanks in advance
Hi.
I just updated to the newest version. I love mxplayer pro. And one of my favorite things about it is the background play feature. Well it no longer works even when having it on. I am trying to play one of my videos from my Plex server and when I go to turn off the screen it no longer continues to play. Please help. Pixel XL running Android 8.0 Oreo

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)

This one might be different than the OP. Our developers are on it. We will try to fix ASAP.

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:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ets5njs6rrm8c1l/report_2017-09-18_111234.zip?dl=0
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.
I'm using google pixel, android 8.0. Mx player ver 1.9.8
Music stop playing when I press the home button.
I'm not connected to bluetooth.

Have you enabled background play?
Can you provide a bug report?

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?):

my issue still remains with background playback. Seems to only happen with remote streams.

Hi,
Our developers already notified about the issue about the background play issue with remote streams. We will try to fix it ASAP.
You may set HW+ as default for network streams as a temporary workaround. HW+ & SW works as usual.

I wanted to follow up that any additional problems and weirdness with MX Player Pro after your initial fix have also been fixed by the Android 8.0.0 Security patch for October 5, 2017. Background play works for all cases I had issues with.

in developer option search DISABLE USB AUDIO ROUTING and turn it on
I can report that playback pauses on bluetooth speakers (Anker SoundCore Mini) on AIMP player as soon as the screen turns off, but it works well with LineageOS Music player (or so I think it works). Phone in question is Galaxy S5 klte
It worked well in 14.1, but not in 15.1 ofc
I will try the baba.yoga suggestion
Latest update, lost background play ability
Frustrating. App just updated and I lost background playing, settings still the same. If I uninstall the app and reinstall, I get background playing for a hour or so, then it disappears again.

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.
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!
Hi
When watching a movie, the subs does not show up. If I bring the UI up, subs show but as soon as the controls disappear, subs does the same. I've played with every setting in both the TiVo and mx player, and the only way I can manage the subs to stay on, is going into custom zoom, and set it at 99%. Problem is that it seems there's no way to keep the zoom set at 99%. I need to adjust it manually for every movie. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Heres a small video (not mine) showing the problem. Maybe this can help

I have found a soiution for my problem. I ditched this piece of gartbage and switched to VLC player.
Thanks for nothing. Too bad i´ve paid for this.
