Has anyone tried the different floating players?
I was using Super Player because it was free, but recently purchased Floating Player Beta. They both have the same issue, when playing a video in the window (or paused) then lock the screen then unlock the tablet reboots. I'm using .28 stock rom with SIO installed.
Anyone else?
EDIT:
Sorry, it's called Floating Player Beta. Not Pop-up Player Beta.
I'm using Virtuous Prime rom. I can confirm I've replicated your issue with Super Video.
One solution i've found is to go to Super Video settings > Player Settings > Enable Keep Play (Do not pause video playback when screen is turned off).
This will prevent your Prime from screen locking, so pressing the power/lock button merely turns off the screen (pressing the power/lock button again turns the screen back on without having to enter an unlock pattern). Of course a side effect is the video's playback (including audio) continues playing even while the screen is off.
Well at least I'm not going crazy. I'm guess it does as well with Stick It. I've sent logcat to Floating Player Beta, as they responded to my comments. Hopefully we'll find a solution. I have no idea what's causing it. SW Codec does not have the issue.

i don't know about you
but for me the tablet will restart like that if you do the same thing with reg video players....
so i don't think its the floating player thing as it maybe the prime's problem

Was using this in the stock 2.1 ROM. Now I have installed MiniCM7 Pro - v6 Final (GingerBread 2.3.5) ROM and use the screenshot app that comes with it (long press power key - menu)
Is there a way to lock the screen (disable touch) while viewing saw a movie on the tab? This way if i move the tab the movie continues to play in full screen mode and nothing responds to my touches on the tab. I figure some form of power button enable/disable option would work.
thanks in advance.
I've never seen this option put in any power button settings before, but its something to look into.
Mobo player have an option to lock the screen(using menu button) while watching videos.

Thanks...unfortunately this is mainly because I stream allot. So it must be able to control the hardware itself not just the app.

Is there a way to enable lock screen audio controls with the SIII? None of my audio apps are showing them and I can't find a setting to turn it on/off.

I have been looking for this as well. It would be nice if there was a way to do it with google music.
they aren't there by default? I hadn't done anything special with my phone and they showed up. Try installing apollo music player? That's what I use now and it shows up on the lockscreen. The default player showed up before that though.
I think it depends on the lock screen you're using - try different one (or compare notes). Or you can use widgetlocker, which works great.
If you use the. Default slide lock screen ..then when you have music playing you can slide down from the top and both Google music and stock player have controls there.

I'm having some screen issues with Firefox. Sometimes the bottom of the screen goes black and the tabs at the top disappear. By using split screen mode I can repair this but it does seem to come back regularly. Strangely enough I can replicate this behavior by using the volume down button (wtf?) when a video is playing on a website. It seems some kind of screen resolution thing, in Firefox it's reported as 1195x747x24 but in Chrome I see 1205x753x24.
Is anyone else having these screen issues with Firefox, and am I right in thinking that it is Firefox that somehow gets the resolution wrong and that that's the cause? Why its also related to the volume button is beyond me.

I don't know the answer, sorry, but curious if you've tried the jelly (for lineage) browser? You can find the apk by searching xda if you didn't know.
I ask about that because jelly is using the system html rendering, so it may work and be very minimalist. Aside from that, and hope u don't mind my asking, why not use apps when available? I'd expect the app for netflix etc to be able to function no issues. If not, there should be support from them. But ff not playing a video properly? not sure there's much support available for that?
Have you automatic screen resolution adjustment checked or free form mode activated (as indicated by me in that thread) via adb?
(When free form was activated I realized similar behavior in free form apps)
I found out that Firefox beta doesn't have this issue, so I presume whatever it is it'll be fixed in the next release of Firefox.
Screen issue is fixed now with the update., Firefox working the way it should now.
I presume other screen issues with video playing like people have reported with vlc will also be fixed.
Hi,
I am asking for some advice on the following issue.
I was always using the app Mobile hidden camera on several devices few Samsungs and on the Huawei p10. It always worked great. Recording video with locked phone worked fine. Then came the new update from Android/EMUI 8 to 9. And it stopped working or it works for one minute.
Video is recorded for exactly one minute and then freezes, but the sound is recorded for the whole time of the video.
I have read many threads on the aggressive app closing of the newer Emui versions but I think this isn't the fault, because the app is still running in the background with just sound recording. Could it also have to do something with new privacy policy in adroid 9. Have read somewhere that video and sound recording would not be possible any more. I have also tested all of the power saving settings (running in background, shut power optimization off, etc.). Tried also uninstalling the Powergeenie as suggested in an onother thread.
Do someone have any similar experience?
Nice greetings!!
Forgot to add that when the app is running on top it works normal. The problem is only when the app is minimized or the screen is locked.
Maybe somebody has some other app suggestion for background video recording?
Solution
The Solution to the problem were notifications of the app. If the app doesn't give any notifications (shown in the status bar or the locked screen) the system puts it to sleep and it cant run in the background. If there are enabled notifications in the app, their appearance still can be disabled in the notifications options in the android settings.
