Background/pop-up/full-screen players open at the same time #3737
Comments
I would prefer to be able to have multiple players at the same time. I may be listening to a playlist in background mode with the background player. Now I decide to take a break and watch a video outside of the background player - either in a popup player or full screen player while the background player is paused. When I finish watching this break video, I currently have the option to resume the background player and continue listening to the playback list where I left of without having to reload that list. Please don't disable the flexibility to use multiple players in NewPipe. |
That's because they're totally separate things currently, will be fixed by #2907 |
I personally use this functionality if the itch strikes me to listen to a different song in the middle of my current playlist; merging the players will force me to either stop my current playlist entirely for that single song, or open the playlist and spend the time to slowly drag the new song up to the next play spot. Fixing this "issue" will actually remove functionality from the app for no discernible reason. |
You're talking about a different issue and there is a simple solution for your issue. It's a better way to address each issue directly instead of using the work-around you explained. |
This is a similar thing to what @micah-k explained. The solution is a "play next" option to add a video to the playback queue. If you want to watch a video in full-screen mode you can still do this because you cannot edit the a playlist in full-screen mode so this can be independent from the both modes that can play videos in the background. |
This issue will be solved once the development of (#2907 Expandable player with unified UI) is done. |
Version
0.19.5
Steps to reproduce the bug
tap 'Background'
tap 'Popup'
tap play button on the video thumbnail
Expected behavior
If a video is started in a different playback mode (background/popup/full-screen) while NewPipe is already playing a video, the first playback mode should be fully stopped, not only paused.
There should only be one player or playback mode open at a time.
Examples
Actual behaviour
If done in the right order, it's possible to have two NewPipe playback notifications active, a pop-up player and the full-screen player at the same time.
Explanation
This behaviour doesn't make any sense because it's only possible to play one mode at a time. I don't need a paused pop-up player in front of my full- screen player if I'm trying to watch in full-screen mode. Also it is disturbing to have two playback notifications at the same time: A paused background player and a playing pop-up player. It only leads to mistakes because of tapping the wrong notification.
