I'm curious as to what the best performing video players people are using with cm10. I'm currently running the SGT7 cm10 rom. I've found that mx player has the best compatibility but unfortunately it doesn't run full screen (the area where the status bar resides remains black with grey dots where the soft buttons are located.) Dice player runs full screen but is pretty buggy with this rom, it refuses to play many videos or force closes after a few minutes. The VLC beta runs full screen but crashes like Dice player too often. Suggestions?

there should be a setting to hide the status bar when an app tries to go full screen.

I dug around in my settings and realized I had the "force tablet ui" button checked, which was causing the status bar ghosts. MX player works as usual now.

Hello all,
Now that I have netflix on my 10.1 I would like to start watching videos full screen which the tabs screen is the perfect size for. But when things are full screen the videos dont stretch to the full screen because of the bottom menu bar. Is there anyway to hide this bar while watching videos?
i second that!
There's nothing you can do. There's possibly something the developer of the software can do, but it hasn't been fully documented yet. This is at least the third thread on this subject -- use the search function next time.
I have been playing with some of the framework. It is possible to manipulate the resources so that the bar is removed. The issue is doing so programatically. We would have an event handler to remove the bar only when needed. And also, turn the bar back on when needed. I'll say its a PITA experimenting with the sysbar. That 'back' button is a necessity.

Look at any of the games published by Hexage (e.g., Everlands, Robotek). They dim the bottom bar just like the stock video player. It can be done.

DIM (video mode) and Remove are two different animals. The testing I was doing is to give me the ability to actually reclaim that screen real estate.

Sounds like a bad idea to me given the absence of hardware buttons, but since this is xda I nevertheless wish you luck in your experiments.
Seriously, its absurd that I have to watch videos with that stupid menu bar at the bottom. Even Amazon's stock gallery app does it! Yet somehow their own streaming video does not (and the streaming video appears to use the full screen resolution, not just dim the bar).
All you need to do is have it show up with all of the video controls when you tap the center of the screen - sorta like how amazon's own streaming video app works.
Download honeybar.
Well, apparently, it must somehow possible for the taskbar to be hidden completely on Honeycomb 3.2 because I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0, and when the Kindle app runs, the taskbar completely disappears. If one taps the screen anywhere in the Kindle app, the taskbar pops back up.
Presumably, any app or video player could be written or modified to allow this capability, I would think.
One of my favorite games is the game Horn. I use to play it on my Tegra tablet, but can't get it to load up on either the stock system or CM10.1.
The screen goes black with the normal navigation buttons on the bottom, but nothing ever loads on the screen.
I have to click on the home button to exit and then the system runs choppy until I force close on the app.
Anyone have any luck getting it to run?
I noticed this morning that my music player (Google Play music) is not showing up on my second screen when music is playing. It shows up initially for a couple of seconds, but then dissappears... Same whether screen is on or off. I'm on LP, rooted with Xposed running.... Any ideas?
This might be the fact that you don't know how to initialize the player to show up. You have to swipe right on the 2nd screen to get the player to appear. Also, Google Play Music purposely disappears after you swipe to it to prevent draining the battery or for you to accidentally press on it.

Thanks for the reply... however, that is what I am doing (swiping thru the different second screens) and the music player is not there. I've been using it since I got the phone last year... also, before whenever music was playing, the music controls were always one of the second screen displays (screen on or off) I could swipe to... now it pops up for a couple of seconds and then disappears. I'm pretty sure this is not the intended behavior as it would be useless and also is not what it has been doing previously.

If there isn't a section, then you must have accidentally removed Google play music. That app and/or another app is essential to keeping that function working. If you can't find this app that you deleted I recommend running a factory flash wipe.

Google Play Music is still installed... never removed. What other app are you talking about that may have caused this? Thanks!

OK, back in business! Since I only use Google Play Music for playing music, I used Titanium BU to freeze three other Music apps... I unfroze them and poof! the settings menu selection is back!
Thanks!
Hello ,The trick works on the galaxy s8 and s8 +, with any official youtube version.
To be able to do the youtube trick in the background without root, do the following:
● Open the application in the normal way.
● Select the video of your choice.
● leave the video playback.
● Go to the beginning, without closing the multitasking.
□ Here are two options to activate youtube in the background:
1-Through the play button of the headphones that we have connected to the phone.
● Close the default music player on your phone, since it is activated; When you press the play button on the headphones, the music player will be activated and youtube will not be activated.
2-Lock the screen and move the clock widget to the left, the youtube widget appears on the play button and ready; This option works without headphones or headphones.
◇Important never close youtube in multitasking.
□Luck ^-^.

Yes the features offered by Ogyoutube are very good, but in Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +, there is no button to adapt the video to the entire screen and looks ugly with black frames

This has ceased working on my device since a few days ago, has anyone else ran into the same problem?
One of the things I really like about the iphone is how when I play a video from twitter or Facebook is plays back fullscreen? On Android it tends to just play back in the webpage it's on and if you are lucky there is a button to zoom to full screen. Sometimes there isn't a button even.
Is there a hack or setting that will cause the video player on Android to default to full screen?
Thanks!
