Add background playback (audio/video) #44
Comments
I think this would be a good feature to have, but it would need to have a new UI element. There has to be a notification with a play/pause button at least so you can go back to the player while using your phone for something else. |
Currently background playback isn't supported, so the closest option is using PiP (Picture-in-Picture). There's one related hidden feature - Auto PiP. Long press the PiP icon to activate this feature. Then, when you exit Just Player through the home button and video is playing, PiP will be activated automatically. |
I'd like to bump this, I want to use this app for lectures and audiobooks and it's "skip-silence" ability. The background play feature is great for audio/video content that doesn't necessarily need to be watched. Right now I'm stuck using PiP and sacrificing a small black box on my phone's display in order to listen to books. |
any updates on this? |
Could be difficult to implement, but this is a must for me as well. |
Actually, only need to add playback service, a good example is NewPipe, which can switch between background notification player, UI player and Pip Player, also use exoplayer. Similar features can be found in VLC player. I strongly recommend to adding this feature. |
Yes. Background Playback is way more useful than PIP. |
Also highly interested by this feature (to switch between video and background audio for video podcasts). |
It's a very nice player, but this single feature keeps me using MX Player or VLC. On my phone most videos are only partially watched as video and generally listened while the phone is off while i I'm doing other things and most audio players won't play videos and don't have speed control. So this would be a great feature 😁 |
@moneytoo can you add some tags to this highly requested feature like "pr welcome" and "help wanted"? Maybe then somebody can submit a PR. |
Hello is it currently possible to add an option where the user can activate the background playback?
