I really do love the rich features and UX of #MXPlayer on Android, a video player app.
However, with the latest updates, it gets more and more tedious to use it without network permission (I don't use and want). Reason: when starting the app, it either does nothing until a timeout of ~1min is reached or it never passes the startup screen. So far, I still can "open" it when opening any video file from my file browser.
Is there a decent alternative video player for Android I should consider?
@D22@publicvoit I just checked: yes, it can do all of the listed things. Though the "continue playing audio in background" probably is not enabled by default in favor of having a picture-in-picture mode that stops when locking screen.
From my initial test, I can't confirm background playback (if activated it still stops a second after screen lock).
Another requirement: remember playback position in videos when resuming.
Somehow, I got issues with getting back to the video (even without remembering playback position). I only get the sound, the image preview and the playlist but not the video. Then, the sound continues even in lock screen mode but I never get back to the video after unlock. 🤔
