Can't mute individual videos with popup video apps anymore - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a samsung galaxy s4, using the Video popup player app that lets you mute individual videos, I could watch two videos and mute on or the other. With my brand new galaxy s10, if I mute one video it mutes my entire system and any other videos that are player. How can I change this? It's ridiculous, this is a regression in technological advancement.

[Q] Lecture Notes + Lecture Videos or Lecture Audio Recording?

There are two additional apps for lecture notes. One called videos and another called recording (or something) which is just for audio. If I got the video app would it have the same functionality as the recording app?
Whats the difference?

It seems like the video app lets you record yourself writing and play it back as a video: "It has been designed while having a user at university (or at school) in mind, for instance a lecturer who is using it for producing tutorial videos or for recording her/his lecture while teaching using LectureNotes (by writing on the device and projecting the screen content for the audience) or a student who is using it to prepare tutorial videos for fellow students."
I am using lecturenotes plus the audio app. It records as you write and if you zoom in on text will follow along where you were writing at the time of when things are spoken. It's really nice and I highly recommend it as an addition to LectureNotes.

I meant how is the audio functionality in the video extension different from the audio functionality of the audio extension? Is getting the video the same thing as getting the audio + video?
@gina$zanboti: LectureRecordings records/replays audio together with notebook fokus, LectureVideos is a screencast extension that records display content (i.e. the process of writing) together with audio. A random example of the latter is www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_H1F2kaRg. In some sense, the functionality of LectureVideos encloses that of LectureRecordings, as you can also record audio with it.

With the video extension can you record audio without video? IE create a voice memo type of thing.
@gina$zanboti: With LectureVideos, the display content is always recorded, so it is somewhat like recording a voice memo with a video camera; it works, but it is not the purpose of the extension. For voice memos, LectureRecordings is better suited.
Does anyone know if the microphone for the samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition record audio in stereo? I just recorded 2 lectures and when I replay, sound comes from one speaker rather than 2. I didn't have this problem with the old note. I assume its because the microphone is recording mono, is there any way to change microphone settings to stereo?
@jaztech: Are you referring to the speakers of the Note 10.1? Have you checked that other audio sources replay in both speakers?

Hi acadoid,
Both my speakers work for playing regular audio on everything (google play music, samsung's music player, youtube etc... I even downloaded another audio voice recorder to see if the microphone would record in stereo and it did. The mono one speaker audio recording seems to be localized to LectureNotes.
@jaztech: Both LectureRecordings and LectureVideos request recording with two channels, it seems that the Android media recorder ignores that. Do you have the possibility to test an external stereo microphone?

[Q] Any Look Away Player for Android?

Hi,
Is there any video player available for non-samsung devices that do the same functionality as in Note 3 i.e. pausing the video on looking away from screen. I've search but could not find app which has similar functions. There were many apps which pauses video on hand waving or app to keep the screen on if a face is detected. But could not find anything that pauses the video looking away.
Any help??

Bluetooth audio stops when recording video, how to disable?

Hi,
is there any way in the crappy Xiaomi stock photo app to prevent the phone from stopping music playback while recording a video? As soon as I start recording a video, the music playback via Bluetooth tops instantly, and resumes after the video recording has stopped.
Dear Xiaomi engineers, I appreciate your thinking that one might not want to have noise while recording a video, but can you imagine that parents want to take a video of their kids while dancing to music? So why is there no option to disable this odd behaviour at least?
Btw, the Google GCam app asks what to do, and you can set the default behaviour. The Xiaomi camera app seems to lack this, is that correct?

Video Enhancer / Video Brightness - how to add more apps?

Samsung used to call this setting "Video Enhancer. More recently, it has started calling it "Video Brightness". Basically, it increases the brightness and saturation of videos played in certain apps, such as Netflix and Youtube.
Is there a way to get this working with /other/ apps, specifically YouTube VANCED, or even streaming videos through a browser *cough*. It seems like such a simple function is overly restricted - one ought to be able to add more apps, - and no-one really talks about it in any depth...
Any news?
