Android 4.4.2 on Samsung Galaxy Tab S
There is an app called CpuTemp. If you set there in the settings "Cpu Temp Overlay" what will show the CPU temperature in the status bar then the brightness adjustment of MX Player will not work anymore. Not really correct. It will work as long as you do not start it again. If you start the MX Player a 2 nd time then it will not work.
No idea which app is here to blame. Just want to report it. Took me a while to find it out..
It should be that overlay function in cpu temp.
Im sure that if you disable it, it wont give any problem.
It's as josuearisty said; CpuTemp's overlay is covering MX Player. I don't have any problems with CpuTemp overlays covering my touch controls on 5.0 Nexus 5, and my overlay is in the topleft corner when on landscape.
I sent a message already to the developer of the cpu app. At least people can see here why it might not work anymore. It is not so obvious that this app with the overlay creates the problem.
I'm not able to control brightness by swiping up and down in MX player.need help

Hi,
If the brightness gesture is not working, Probably you might have*disabled gestures on Settings » Player or Control. Kindly check the settings.
If you have it enabled, MX Player shows the new brightness value and there is no brightness change on the screen, then It may happen when some app runs on the top of MX Player invisibly. By default, Android*takes the*brightness*values from the topmost window. If any widget/floating icons/Invisible screen filters run on the top of MX Player surface it may happen. Kindly disable such apps & try again.
Problem solved!
Thanks man you got it right,i had downloaded a app called control centre because of that I was not able to control the brightness in MX player,when I disabled that app after that brightness control is working like a charm in MX player.
Thanks once again!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 that was running some version of Marshmallow until it was recently updated to Nougat (7.0). Around the same time, my ability to scroll the left side of the screen to change the brightness of a video stopped working. However, I feel like it worked for a little while after the update, but I can't be sure. I'm using MX Player Pro 1.9.17 (ARMv7 NEON).
However, during playback sometimes the screen will suddenly change and become much brighter for about 5 of 7 seconds, then return to whatever it was set at before. This happens without any touch input from me.
Is there anything I can do to return the brightness functionality back to the app rather than the OS? It's significantly more convenient to change it in the app.
If the brightness gesture is not working, Probably you might have disabled gestures on Settings » Player or Control. Kindly check the settings.

Hi ,
There is an issue i cannot solve on my phone.
I have Spotify installed and running on my device, so far so good.
But even if this music app is not running (also in the background) at all, this "media output device" notification is
being shown ALL THE TIME ! It even shows uo everytime i restart my phone.
As i already said, it has nothing to do with Spotify, as i disabled that notification anyway.
Anyone knows how to get rid of this ?
Kind regards,
Valy
I am facing the same issue. Any solution..?
I have picked up a similar issue when using samsung music or vlc. When I stop listening to music it's there...swipe away, after a while it's back...oncy after the 2nd or 3rd swipe it stays away until the next time I listen to music. I have a bixby routine that opens vlc when I connect my buds pro and reverses it, so technically it must close the app and it works, but notifications doesn't go away
Did anyone ever solve this?
I have found that Spotify really doesn't like to actually close/quit unless I kill it from the Apps menu. I even went so far as to program a Tasker task to call the Spotify info screen in the Apps menu (where the Force Stop button is) and then actually "push" the Force Stop button, accept the prompt, and return to home. It was surprisingly complex to do, might be easier to do with Bixby (haven't dived into Bixby much just yet, been using Tasker since 2012 and habits are hard to break ), but so far it's the only way I've found to definitively kill Spotify, and in turn, that notification.
On stock Android, there is an "Media" sub menu in the "Sounds & Vibrations" settings that allows you to "Hide player when the media session has ended". Samsung for whatever reason decided to remove it, however, you can bring it up again with Nova Launcher.
Steps in Nova Launcher:
1) Add new "Nova Launcher->Activity" widget to the homescreen
2) Refer to screenshot 1. Go to the "Settings" dropdown and pick the option circled.
3) Click on the widget once it's created, you should see the hidden "Media" sub menu, refer to screenshot 2.
4) Uncheck "Pin Media Player".
Done, the Spotify notification will disappear after you swipe Spotify away in the Recents menu. Note, this doesn't fix the problem with Samsung Music thou as swiping away Samsung Music doesn't technically close it. You'll have to find another music player if you want it to behave the same as Spotify.
I fixed it using the Nova Launcher method. Thanks!

Settings - Notifications. Tap more. If Spotify is not in the most recent, tap Most Recent, select All and then scroll down until you find Spotify abs toggle it off. You can toggle any other app notifications off too.

This worked! I had the same problem! I installed Nova Launcher in hopes of solving the 'media output' floater always coming back. But for other Samsung S22 Ultra owners, I found the items looked somewhat different. The "media_controls_title" was instead just titled 'Media.' After I found it, it opened and contained the same buttons listed above. Thank you!

Try the Ncleaner app from the play store. You may uninstall it after your done
Found a way of doing this via Tasker. Create and run this task (only once) to disable the hidden setting.

As a reference, for me, in Nova Settings i had to do the following (i have the interface a little bit different):
Add new "Nova Launcher->Activity" widget to the homescreen
Select "Settings" (it has 368 subitems for me)
find "Media" (it shows ".Settings$MediaControlsSettingsActivity" under it)
After that use the shortcut as advice FrydaeXIII said (points 3 and 4 from hist post)

are you on android 13 and one ui 5.0?
in earlier versions of android it was called @StRiNgS/media_controls_title (.Settings$MediaContorlSettingsActivity)
For the last couple days, whenever I do any action that would put MX Player in the background, the video has suddenly gone into Picture-in-Picture mode and started playing. This happens whenever I have a video up in the player, regardless of whether it's playing or paused, and whether background play is enabled or disabled.
This has happened when I've used the following "Dismiss App" actions:
- Swipe between apps
- Swipe to homepage
- View open apps
- Select different running app from notification menu
- Open full MX Player settings menu
- Open MX Player "About" page
Attached is my zipped bug report. I've also submitted this bug in an email. If there's something in the app settings that could explain this behaviour, I would like to know, because it's definitely not desirable to take up screen space and start playing when I've paused and tried to unfocus the player.
Just an update, this is still happening for me. The closest thing to a workaround is to disable PiP permissions in the settings. The app still tries to go to PiP every time I make it leave the foreground, resulting in a toast pop-up saying "MX Player needs Draw/Display over other apps permission to play the videos on the top of other apps."
Every time I return to the homepage from the app, it says that. If I enable that permission, it will always activate PiP mode when I'm trying to switch away. I haven't found any in-app setting that could be causing this.
As of 1.51.8 (ARMv8 NEON), the app is still going into PiP mode whenever I dismiss it. Even if my video's paused, going to my home screen will make the video appear in the corner and start playing if it has the Android permission to do so.
It should only do this when the PiP mode button is pressed, unless there's some new "automatic picture-in-picture" setting I've missed or something.
I just figured out the setting to disable this. Click on Menu > Local Player Settings > Player > Background/PiP mode and select Stop. The video will no longer go to PiP when you click/swipe for home while playback. If you want, you can manually select background play and/or PiP while playing the video using controls as usual.

Thank you!
The video starts playing when I hit PiP even if it was paused before, I'd prefer if it kept the video's state and just shrunk down the player, but it's manageable. Going to mark the thread as Resolved.
