Bug report: background play
(I will fix the rating to five stars as soon as this bug is fixed)
Whenever Pip is not active if I switch off the phone , the playback gets stopped after a few seconds because the operating system kicks it off. It should continue to play in the background, taking advantage of the OS permission to play.

pip king
Only app that does pip with no issue. Great value
Video player
Great app recomend highly
Very Impressive
I am usually very picky when it comes to apps, but this one feels very intuitive, and it gets the job done. Unlike other media players, it has no ads. Yes, there is one that encourages you to upgrade, but they are not real pushy about it. They do it once, and then not again. And the pro version is not a bad deal at all. It is either $1 per month, $3 annually, or a one time purchase for $8 for full use. So they are very flexible.
Getting to the app itself, the first thing that stands out to me is that it has realtime preview. You can tap and hold the playhead, and as you drag it, there is realtime preview rather than skipping. KM Player has this feature too, but it doesn’t work if the video is paused. This app works whether the video is paused or playing.
Also, you have the right tools right on the interface. You’ve got your volume control, playlist and chapters, and additional settings. Very easy to understand and navigate. And I assume that the pro version gives more control over the Playlist menu. Though, I am not sure how the Chapters menu works yet. I wonder if it is for downloadable movies that have a chapter selection?
My only criticism is that I am not a fan of the name. Video Player sounds very basic, and there are many other video players too. Plus, there are many others with a very similar logo with the same name, so this one is not easily identifiable. Aside from that, I do really like this app.

Great app! But playback feature not working on my end..
While I have the videos playing in PIP mode, it doesn’t let me rewind to the previous video. I hope this can get fixed in a timely manner. Thank you.
Almost perfect…
…just wish there was a way to turn off subtitles by default so that I don’t have to do it manually every time I start a new episode.
Everything else functions beautifully and the level of customisation is great. Totally worth the Pro upgrade.

Great!
Good experience. Previously smb streaming did not work, but it’s working now!
Thanks for the PIP
I’ve used vlc player for years on laptop and phone but with no pip it’s pointless for me, I’ve used this app a couple of times up to now (on iPad) and it seems perfect, I can now watch movies from my flash drive in pip and play games in the background, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
SMB steaming not working
Good experience with PIP, however streaming via SMB local network never works for me. The same videos could be streamed using VLC.

Great addition to VLC Player
The biggest plus is the fact that it supports Picture In Picture out of the box, which important to some (me) as I prefer multitasking. I’ve had no issue with local or cloud files in AVI, MP4/M4A, or MKV formats, and it plays x.264 and x.265 natively.
My only negative is that it doesn’t register as a native application for “sharing” from the Files tool. You need to add from within the app itself, though linking it to my folder was a snap.

il migliore
offre PIP nella versione FREE .. quasi nessuno lo fa.. fatto anche bene .. stupisce non sia più conosciuto
It’s great for everything but…
PIP is decent. The features and options are great. But there’s no Background App Refresh, which means no background playback while the phone is locked.
Cannot add multiple files to playlist
I paid for premium and THEN found out you can only add 1 file at a time to a playlist. Very disappointed.
please add manually choose art cover for movies
thank you
Allows Picture in Picture
Great app for watching downloaded movies in most formats.
I do have a problem with the app’s cache not clearing. All my videos are in the Files app and I have nothing saved, but the app is still using over 7GB of storage w

Video Player
Good app for watch and download videos
Good but
It would be 5 stars if there were the option to pause/play the video simply by double tapping the center of the screen
Decent app, but has a crash and is missing vital feature
If you try to open the share menu for any video the app instantly crashes. Also the app is missing the ability to export saved videos to Photos… in the case of this app going defunct, it is vital that videos be able to be saved to Photos so they are not lost. Decent app, and good replacement for the previous app I was using that disappeared, but needs a lot of work. Update: the new update did not fix the crash.
Update 2: Thanks for fixing the crash!
