[Q] video playback with screen off?

---

Hey guys!

I'm quite new to the android world. I'm very happy with my One S, but I haven't found a way, to stream videos from my NAS with the screen off.

(In order to improve my language skills I listen to english tv-series before sleeping. Before I got my new phone, I used my Ipod Touch with the "Video Lock" app from Cydia)

The only way i have found to do it is to use diceplayer. In the settings of diceplayer you can select Background Playback. That allows you to power off the screen and continue video playback.

My setup I have found works best. I use ES File Explorer to navigate to my NAS. When I select a video file, it asks what player to use. I select diceplayer and once the video starts, I turn off the screen.

I have found that sometimes my wifi will go into low power mode with the screen off and playback audio gets choppy, so I have to use a widget called WIFI High Performance Widget.

thx, it works. I was using mediahouse+mxplayer, mediahouse+diceplayer works for me now!
