Video stopps when display turns off

Postby Sagehorn » 17 Feb 2015 13:57

Hey there

Is it possible to continue playing videos while my display turns off? I want to stream tv when i'm on the go having the tablet in my pocket. But as soon as i close my case, the screen turns black and the video stops. Haven't found any solution for this problem. The energy settings won't help, vlc player is set as protected app.

Any idea..?

S0 far, you can only "play as audio"

In other words, it's not possible? DVB Viewer doesn't support audio only in mobile version.

Guess, i have to put something between the tablet and the hatch then ^^

No, it is possible, you can long-click on the file and ask to play only the audio.

Maybe, but when i want to use VLC to watch TV via DVB Viewer, i can't click any file.. It's just executing a streaming command
