Hello,
I've been using MX Player Pro for years and often listen to videos with my phone's screen off using the background play functionality. In the most recent update (MX Player Pro 1.46.10) the background play options in the settings were changed to either background play or picture in picture. Once I figured this out and selected background play I was able to listen to videos with the screen off again, however the Picture-in-Picture button no longer works while playing a video. In previous versions when I had background play configured, the PiP button in the on-screen controls during playback still allowed me to use the PiP functionality on the fly.
Can you please fix the PiP button so that it still works even if I have background play configured as the default in the local player settings? Otherwise it seems like the only option is to revert to 1.42.13 and never update the app again.
Thanks!
having the same issue, this on top that since like a year ago, the headset Bluetooth buttons don't work for forwarding or rewinding 5 seconds as it used to (it works only when video is playing in background or PiP) this is extremely frustrating
newest version got it solved.

I'm still only seeing 1.46.10 on Google Play. There is no newer version available for me.
The lastest beta version is 1.48.1

Gotcha. Sorry, I wasn't aware of the beta program. I'll look forward to its forthcoming release on the Play store.

Hi,
For the last couple of mxplayer updates, I've had an issue when I play video in the background. After I bring the app back to the foreground, the video 'title' in the overlay stays on the screen. If I bring the overlay up again by tapping, I get two titles on top of each other. To reproduce:
Play a video
With the video still playing, go back to the launcher (or another app)
Video keeps playing (correctly)
Re-open mx player
Video keeps playing, but the extra overlay is there
My nexus 4 has soft-buttons, that are set to autohide. I think that this is related - when I tap to remove the overlay there is a small (<1 second) window where the overlay is gone and the buttons still appear; I can avoid this problem by going back to the launcher in that window.
I'm running a nexus4, with stock lollipop (5.0.1). This only started happening in the last couple of mxplayer versions; it worked originally after I updated to lollipop when it came out.
I've attached the bug report .zip and two screenshots, both taken after reopening the app, while the video was playing. The second is after I tap to bring up the overlay; the duplication is clear there. This happens with any video; its not video specific.
I also have a same issue in z3. Sometime video title sticks in overlay.
This still happens with the latest update from the play store (v1.7.38)

This almost always fixes it - it still showed up a couple of times on my commute. I can't seem to work out how to reproduce it reliably though.

@Bradley2468 Please try new beta version, it might work better.

Thanks, looks good.
@bleu8888 Enable auto rotation mode in mx and place the phone in portrait orientation. Now play any video then click on pause and again long press on pause button. Background play service will be enabled. Press home button, mx will be minimised. Now place the phone in landscape orientation and open mx player from notification bar (mx currently playing as background service). There you will see a bug. Its only on rare case.
note: I am on latest beta build.

where i have to send it?
Fixing MX player background play issue in Oreo
With the Oreo update every app now has Individual power saving settings. So if an App is using intelligent power saving Android will aitomatically shut down back ground running after a certain period of time or if multiple apps start running at the same time. So if you play Youtube while running MX player, Android power management can shut it down.
To fix the background play issue I tried the following
1. Open settings
2. Go to App Management
3. Find and open Mx player
4. Tap on power saving
5. Change from Intelligent control to Allow running in background
This worked for me.
To reproduce (Pixel, running O preview):
Start playing a video
long-press on the recents button to enable split-screen
open a second app (e.g. chrome)
tap on the second app window to bring it into focus
audio keeps playing, and any on-screen controls in mxplayer stay (expected)
BUG: video is blank until tapping on the mxplayer part of the window to bring it back into focus.
Video goes away again when losing focus
This is a recent regression - it worked until I updated yesterday to version 1.9.5. It makes split-screen useless.
Happens with all decoders (SW, hw, hw+).

If you are a beta tester of MX Player, then you could have received the update of free version earlier.
We have already rolled out 1.9.7 to everyone.
You can get the pro version from Google Play.
Running 1.10.47, played videos are the same colour/tone as non-played videos, previously they were a different shade of grey. Nothing changed with a tablet I've used MXPlayer on for years.

Thanks for reporting the issue. It will be fixed in the next update. Stay tuned for further updates
You can install the beta 1.10.50 to get rid of the Bug:
Sorry, cant post the full link. Got to apkmirror and search vor mx player > Show variants > MX Player 1.10.50 beta (arm-v7a) (Android 4.0+)
I installed it too, as without the indication its annoying.
Sorry for long wait As the updates are rolled out in phases, it may take a while to reach everyone. We have just rolled out to everyone now. Please check the Google Play Store again to get the latest version for your device.
I use the next and back buttons on my Bluetooth headset to act as fast forward and rewind.
For this purpose, I have enabled 'Media buttons' and 'Next/Prev → FF/Rew' in the settings,
but when the app is running in the background, 'Next/Prev → FF/Rew' does not work.
When it is in the background, it is not converted and simply works as 'Next/Prev'.
Also, when the app is in the foreground, it will work as 'FF/Rew' as expected.
Note that the 'Double/Triple Press → Next/Prev' option has nothing to do with this behavior,
and will behave as described above whether it is on or off.
Additionally, the above is how it works in the conventional video player. If you open an audio file in the 'NEW PLAYER', it will behave like "Next/Prev" regardless of the app status.

Thanks for the fix!
That build worked fine as 'FF/Rew' both in the foreground and in the background (in Conventional Video Player).
Hi, i had the same problem and this apk fixed it, many thanks!
I noticed that now a few official updates have been launched on GPlay - but this bug is still present in the newest version, therefore i still have to use this slightly outdated APK. Is it going to be fixed on official installation in Google Play?
