Not sure if this is the place or not, and I'm inclined to feel like it isn't, so my apologies. But I am wondering if any of the android browsers allow you to play media (in my case audio) while the browser is minimized or not in focus. There is a show I listen to that is only on the web and they don't offer a podcast or live stream from any music or radio player. This would make it far easier to listen to the show on my phone. I am currently using a stock browser and Firefox on occasion.

is it me or it is it that youtube on android doesn't find the same videos as it does on my computer. For example like when you search for a certain music video on YouTube on the computer the official music videos would come up there but on android you can't find those videos..
That's happens for a reason. They do that so you buy the song. Because you have data everywhere, you can listen to free music every where. But the android app doesn't let you.
I think (remember I said think) that the m.youtube.com shows them, but I doubt it.

I read somewhere that music video aren't mobile view compatible. So since then I have never found a music video, a real one that is.
Either east people are going to download them

the video has to be mobile compatible. it doesnt mattter if its a music vid or some guy farting on a girls face, if its not mobile compatible it wont even show up.
Why not just press the search button, rather than go to the you tube app?
Hey guys, I'm wondering... I can pretty much play everything with the stock Samsung video player, even 720p MKVs (would that be due to hardware H264 acceleration on the Hummingbird?), but I've been thinking... those other players, like VPlayer and RockPlayer seem pretty popular. Are they any better in quality, compatibility or take a lighter hit on battery? Are they worth my time and money?
I believe they just give you more options like playlists and such. I personally have never found any need to download a third party player to date.
Pretty sure those exist because most android phones do not have the codec support the vibrant has out of the box. I haven't felt the need to get it.
mVideoplayer is the best third-party app among the bunch imho. It has playlist options, slide finger across the screen to forward/rewind instead of steady press on a button and such. Tap on one side to bring up volume rocker, tap on the other side for brightness settings, and on another for bookmarking a scene. Plus it remembers the scene from which you stopped watching on each and every video you have - which the native video player does only for the current video you are watching
And one more thing, it has better zoom options than the stock player. Some videos i downloaded via youtube play full screen where the native player only plays it with a letter-box.
I prefer the QQplayer: support also avi-files and srt-files
MoboPlayer is the best!

Also the stock player won't play .flv files

My stock player plays them just fine...
Any player that will work with files having 6 channel audio? I could never find one.
Mobo is king of players, if it can't do it none can.

If I browse to a website that has streaming audio (radio) and I switch away from that, the sound (and video) stop. I briefly tried opera, but it didn't play flash for me and also did not render pages correctly. Maybe this dolphin hd will do what I want?

I don't think multitasking mean to can listen music from the browser when you are doing something...
Try using
TuneIn (just an example) it's a streamed music application (many many radio)
that works perfect
and best you can browse and do somthing else
There Is a active tab add on for dolphin HD browser. It lets you keep background tabs open. Youbcsn even choose for how long in its setting
Tab reload is the add on I have not tried but seen someonebelse say it will work
I've always used Emit, but as of lately it doesn't seem to work as often as if like. Some features is like it to have are, the ability to play embedded subtitles and mkvs

Airstream is great. Available as an app on Android and a program on your PC.
I'm not sure if it's been fixed yet, but I know that occasionally it wouldn't allow me to skip. As in; if I was to close the movie/episode to finish watching later, when I opened it back up, I'd have to watch from the start.
Check it out, it might be fixed.
I know my dad also uses something else. uPnP Play on Android and a program on his PC that allows him to share/stream files to other devices on the LAN. So you can stream directly to any device, not just your tab.
If you're interested in the latter I can contact him and ask what it's called. This one allowed you to skip.
I use bubbleupnp for my streaming solution. It could be the same as the previous poster, as it does allow you to stream to any device. It still needs a upnp server installed on the pc, windows media player should work, as well as xbmc, foobar (with the plug in) and likely many more. You can also set up remote streaming so you can stream while away from home. It is a pay app, however there is a limited function trial to see if it works for you.

Has anyone has any luck streaming video from your local media servers (PC) using the plex app or any other media streaming app. The apps load up fine but once you select your media to view its just a black screen until you close them. Worked fine on my GS3 and my IPAD. I tend to think its something to do with the app developers not prepared for the 800 processor?

Same issue here. Sorry.
I was able to get media to play by syncing it to be offline, both with this and with Subsonic. But streaming just doesn't work.
Plex works fine for me, remotely or locally up to and including at 1080p. I have the newest PlexPass versions on server and phone.

I can stream on wifi only with plex. Haven't tried anything else.
I am experiencing the same problem and cannot stream video from plex over wifi or mobile data.
Audio works on both, however.

Same problem here. Black screen and no sound. Have had the same issue on a note 2 previously.

Same thing. Black screen, no video or audio (I don't think). Any solutions?
Plex is aware of the issue.
Download MX player, go to settings in plex, choose "device media profile" then select "media profile" and choose "external player". Next time you play, choose MX. It should work. Plex offers this as a temporary issue until they solve the problem.

I've had nothing but problems streaming video with my LG G2 using DSub/Subsonic (utilizing MX Player Pro). Audio works pretty well but the video does not work AT ALL. I've reported this to the MX Player Google group (useless, developer does not respond) as well as the Subsonic forums. So far, no help or advanced troubleshooting has been provided. I guess I'll just hope that someday my brand new LG G2 works as flawlessly streaming video as my iPhone 4 did. :crying:
