Hi
Is it possible to have PiP mode in Android O?
So far handful apps supporting it but no video player.

Thanks

Try vlc player it is currently supporting.Mx player will be adding it in future

This is my #1 most requested feature for MX Player. I really hope it is implemented as I keep checking this forum and general updates every day. I have tried VLC player and it works very well with PiP but find MX Player better in every other aspect.

Could a dev let us know if this is actively being worked on and if so, is it anywhere near release?

Thank you very much

Is the pip available in any of the latest versions? else hope PIP is on the todo list, the PIP in VLC is really useful and cool.

Still waiting

Yeah, I’ve already switched to VLC. It works really well

Couldn’t keep waiting for MX Player to catch up...

Yeah +1
All video players have either pip or floating window mode except mx player.. the devs have been promising this essential functionality for too long.. mx is great but watching in split window of nougat isn't practical as it takes a large part of the screen and disappears when the keyboard is open.. and many apps don't support being put in split screen

I only use mx player, but why it still no pip?

The developers are lazy

We have some plans for supporting PIP in future.
But, It may need lot works as MX Player is very complicated in nature when compared to others. So, we can't provide any timelines about the availability.

Just to get a clearer picture

Did you start working on it already or is it just a plan for the future?
Do you reckon it'll take days, weeks or months until a release?

Development of new features are slow as snail, with new VLC 3 I'm dumping MX Player completely, used it since it's inception. Time to move on.

GokuSSJgod · Feb 26, 2018

I Have vlc 3 and it's much more polished than before. You just press home for the pip instead of navigating your way to so it. I HAVE no idea what mx hasn't added it. I know that they are capable. It's got to be one of the most featured requests. Android P dev preview will be out first though ha.

I hope they will add it soon.

It's been some eight months since we started asking about PIP. Still no road map?

Have others started moving away from Mxplayer and to VLC?

nezebilo · Mar 26, 2018

Vlc wastes 5 times the amount of battery MX player does. Probably the complexity the dev was talking about. It's not an option for me. I'll manage MX till PiP is supported

Well, another month goes by and the latest update still doesn't have PiP feature...

GreatLordAnt · Jun 4, 2018

I really want to stick with this player but it's falling behind with pip.

Because of lack of PIP I tried moving to VLC several times, but i have so much of videos and there is no video folder view like in MX, VLC just shows every videos in its home or useless storage view where its shows every folder in device.
So eventually i come back to MX. But PIP is too usefull. I may need to try some other video players.
