[Stock Android]Split screen can't play 2 games/videos simultaneously - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

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!

I'm sorry if i have no answer to your question, but we have tge same problem, is cloned games on splitscreen really work?

[Q] HELP!! Issue with Video playback

Hi. I have some serious issue with my vibrant which is just 3~4 months old
Recently, my vibrant had problem playing video files. When I play a certain
video, it stops playing within 1 minute, pause, and I have to manually press "play"
again in order to start a video again. The problem is, same thing happens
after I press the play button, within 1 minute, video stops, pause, and I have to
do the same thing over and over. This happens when I play a video with stock
video player. Let's say If I play a movie with "soul movie," then the different problem
persists, where this time the video turns into black screen and then continue on
playing for about another less than a minute again. Although I do not have to press the play
button in the "soul movie", the video doesn't last 1 min before it turns into black
screen and resume again.
I haven't had this problem at all until recent days, I tried everything I could,
rebooting, re-inserting micro sd. It can't be codec problem cuz I used to play
this video flawlessly before. Now, I hope I don't have to "factory reset" the
phone. I'm very reluctant to do it. (Also, I don't know how to...)
Can anyone please help me with these issues. I'll really appreciate it
Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
try an alternate video player like doubletwist and see if the problem still persists.I know I don't use the stock music our video players for anything, they're kinda bad.

thanks for reply. I tried doubletwist and same thing happens as when i play movie with soul movie.
So, it's like
STOCK MOVIE PLAYER-----> PLAY, STOP PLAYING, AND NEED TO RESUME MANUALLY
SOUL MOVIE, DOUBLE TWIST-----> PLAY, BLACK SCREEN, AND AUTO PLAY AGAIN
THIS ALL OCCURS WITHIN 1 MIN OF PLAYING ANY MOVIE

Clipped white with videos outside flash

Sorry if this has already been reported by I tried all kind of searches and nothing comes up, but I am really surprised that I did not see anyone report this...
Here is what I found: when playing videos in apps like the Youtube App, Vimeo App or the Android embedded video player in the browser, the whites are clipped, meaning the bright parts of the image become completely white and all details are lost.
I verified this by playing the same video in both the Youtube app and then in the flash player on youtube site in the stock browser (by requesting the desktop version of the page). Same test with Vimeo app, same result. When played in the flash player, the contrast is fine and the bright parts are not blown out.
This is really annoying, all videos look way too contrasty and bright ! Even when setting the screen brightness to minimum the same thing happens, no matter what power mode I choose. Seems to be a problem with the Hardware Video codecs maybe ?

I don't have this issue but for some reason YouTube videos barely work on many prime. It plays for 2 seconds then buffers its not even a wifi issue because my wifi is fine i noticed my partners touchpad w/ ICS wont even play these videos as well. Is YouTube not compatible with ICS?

Me too!!! My prime arrive Friday and the first thing I do was the update. Then i won't play any video from stock or other browser. Just a white or gray screen appears.

[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??

is there an app to black screen without stopping music?

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)

One screen pausing the other

When using some apps on the second screen to watch videos while trying to do other things on the main screen or vice versa....if you touch the screen not playing the video, it pauses the video playing on the other screen....which makes multi tasking useless.
I just got it a few days ago so I haven't tested all my apps but it does this with HBO Max and Google news playing a video so far.
The other thing is, is it possible to stretch a video to fill the screen instead of having it in a tiny rectangle?
Thanks

I'm able to pinch zoom on Netflix to fill up the screen.
I'm having the same problem. It was only with hbo max, the second screen would stop playing she using the main screen. Now it's doing it to all videos and it used to not. Idk what has changed but idk how to fix it.
Same problem here. I'm suspecting new update broke the features. Can't chat in discord and watch Netflix at the same time....
I remember one reviewer mentioning this happening with apps in general, especially games. I.e. If playing a game that requires you to wait for actions to complete, switching to the other screen to work while you waited would pause the game on the non-active screen.
