Hi all, I noticed that if I play audio files, present on the phone and accessible via "My files", therefore via the player supplied with the Nord 2T, after 30 seconds in which the screen is active, playback stops and upon unlocking the screen the track returned to the beginning.
Do you know if there is a way to allow media playback even after screen lock?

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!
Reposting here, I accidentally posted this under the Note II.
Running Codename Android, and as the title says, sometimes the media playback controls show up on my lock screen and sometimes they don't. I haven't been able to figure out what causes them to show up.
Apps: Google Play Music, BeyondPod
BeyondPod uses the stock controls of google play, or appears to. When playing podcasts, the lock screen controls are there about 80% of the time (so far). Is this a common issue? Is there any fix? Or alternatively, is there any free solution which puts universal media controls on the lock screen?
I have looked around and found widget locker, etc but I prefer not to use that.
Hi all,
Due to the lack of storage space on my Moto G 3rd generation, I am unable to hold a large quantity of music on my phone. I have sorted all my music in playlists on YouTube which is great when I am using my laptop as there is a shuffle feature. But when I use my phone, I cannot listen to music on YouTube unless the phone is unlocked and the screen active. This causes problems when my phone is in my pocket as the app sometimes closes or some songs are accidentally skipped. As soon as I lock my phone, YouTube playback stops instantly and I have to unlock the phone to play the video again.
Is there anyway that I can enable playback on YouTube while my phone is locked? Ideally, the playlist would continue to play in order while my phone is locked. Or alternatively, is there a way of keeping the phone unlocked and making it so that the app is not affected? Is there an app that can be installed which will allow this?
Unfortunately, YouTube Red is not available in my country so that is not an option.

or if u are rooted and xposed..youtubebackgroundplayback module.
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.
Really loving Dex and Microsoft's Your Phone app.
Particularly for controlling DI.FM apps while listening to HD LDAC encoded HD radio streaming.
However it's annoying how I have to keep the screen on to do this. Is there any way to control audio apps with the screen off i.e. DI.FM etc?
The app would need the permissions to do so.
Poweramp does this quit well.
I've also seen a glitch in the Samsung browser do this while watching vids. If a vid is running and you hit the power button to turn off the screen after about 10 seconds the vid will resume, audio only. Just what you want but have doubts you could recreate it because of the OS and browser version difference. I assume Samsung corrected this.
