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??

Hi, Android n00b here. Looking at getting an Android tab -- wife has an iPad, I have an iPhone, but I am sick of the iOS walled garden.
A major thing that I want to use my tablet for is playing videos out to a projector, for shows that I do. It's important to me to be able to do these 2 things:
1. Play a playlist of videos in order, without further prompting once it starts.
2. Transition between videos cleanly and seamlessly -- no player controls or tablet home screen visible, even for a second. Nothing but black in between vids.
I've already got my mind pretty much made up about which tablet I'm getting... but I'm not ready to buy until I know there are apps that can meet those 2 requirements.
I've been told that the Dice, MX, and Mobo players will NOT do both of the things I'm looking for. I've gotten reports that Act1 can use playlists... but I haven't been able to find out anything about what the transitions between videos on a playlist look like.
Can anyone recommend a video player that has playlists, and transitions cleanly between videos?
UPDATE: I am hearing elsewhere that the Act 1 player may do everything I want. Haven't had a chance to try it out (since I don't have an Android device yet).
Thanks for the information.
I own a Galaxy Note and got a MHL cable for watching movies on my Sony Bravia.
I'm having some problems for playing it nicelly.
With hardware decoding:
Only the stock samsung "Video Player" is able to play at TV resolution with the subtitles. The problem is that it seems to have an annoying bug that makes the subtitles stuck. After someone ends talking, the last sub don't vanish/disappear, it keeps there on the screen until the next speech. It's discussed at another older thread but no one was able to provide solution at that time.
With Software decoding:
I can get the subs with a third party player (like MX Player), but it doesn't stream the video to the TV directly, like the stock video player does. What I get is a rescaled screen, like when not playing a video, just browsing Android, and as such, not only it's not playing 720p/1080p video, but also, I get black areas because the phone aspect ratio doesn't match the TV aspect ratio.
Is there a solution for this?
As can be seen in the mentioned thread, there was a "stuck subtitle" problem with another Samsung device. Is this a bug with all Samsung devices?
Is there an alternative player that can play videos with hardware decoding and also display subtitles? So it can take all my TV screen.
I've checked this thread too, but there was general misleaded advices...
No One?

Some updates on this issue
Well, here are some updates on this issue that may help others (but not me currently):
MX Player states in its FAQ that it'll be supported later, I've asked for any status about this support in their forums.
There's an Android open issue (issue 32564) about this problem.
It seems that on Jelly Bean (I'm on ICS) there's an option that may solve the issue: Home > Settings > Developer Options > Drawing section > Disable HW Overlays
Hi xda!
I have a weird question that i haven't been able to find the answer for so I thought I'd ask here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, SM-925V, android version 5.0.2, rooted with stock rom. I have had this phone for at least 2 months and this problem just started happening:
My phone randomly pauses video and audio for no reason. For example I was watching Netflix last night in bed with nothing touching the screen. The phone's just sitting there and pauses playback. This is not a streaming issue,
This is what I've figured out so far:
1) I didn't touch the edges to accidently pause playback. The phone was just sitting there with nothing around its edges. Also, since it pauses audio playback while the screen is off, it can't be that
2) It's not a streaming issue, since it also has the same effect with locally stored videos and audio, like MX Player, and it also pauses audio playback on Mort Audio Book Player and Play Music when the screen is off.
3) The only apps I recently installed were Reddit and Imgur apps, can't see how they'd cause a conflict. I have also not updated my phone after which it would have started causing these errors.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You could perform a bug report and a log cat. Both of those could give you clues as to what could be going on. Just make sure you don't share the bug report.
sometimes, I want my son to listen movies . but when I zoom out the player, the movie is stopped. I want to find a solution to black screen after I click a button/icon, meanwhile the movie player can continue without pausing.
so
1. I need an app to screen off
2. meanwhile the player can't be stop
3. even if I find a such app, How to click it with mouse when the movie player is running.
I think multi-windows is a solution, but It will release on Android 7. Now, I just have Andriod 5.1 （teclast x16 plus. cherrytrail z8300）
Hi,
Just wanted to know for Stock Android based ROMs, if there's a way to allow split screen apps to run at the same time. I notice that half screen freezes whenever the other half screen video is played.
For example, you're playing mx player on top screen and playing facebook video on the bottom screen.
What happens is that when you play MX Player video, FB video pauses and vice versa.
Is there a way to allow both screens to play video at the same time? Same goes with cloned games.
MIUI 9's split screen can do that.
TIA!
