Question Android Media Player with Auto Play Function

[dseid]

Hello,

I am simply looking for an open source media player that will have an Auto Play function. Example, user starts the media player on their device, and it auto plays a pre-selected video or the last video played.

I have tried the following:

Surevideo
MPV player
Nextplayer
VLC

Surevideo seems to be the only one that can do it but it is a $4.99 per month subscription.

Thank you.

Welcome to Android Central forums. I found the reply below when I plugged your question into Google, but I'm not sure it totally fits the question you've asked. The reply sounds like it holds the position of where the video stopped, so if you were watching and stopped at marker 00:12:39, when clicked to reopen that video it would offer the choice of starting from where the video was closed or restarting from the beginning. The way you've described it sounds like you want the last video played to just start when the app is opened regardless. Which of these is correct?

Several Android media players, including VLC, MX Player, and PLAYit, offer the ability to retain and auto-start last played video after reopening the app. These players typically store the last played position and resume playback from that point when re-opened.
Key Features to Look For:

• Last Played Position Storage: The player should remember where you left off in the video.
• Auto-Resume: The player should automatically resume playback from the stored position when opened again.
• Optional Playlist Support: Some players, like VLC, also offer playlist support and can resume from the last played video in a playlist.

Recommended Options:

• VLC for Android: VLC for Android is a popular and feature-rich media player that supports a wide variety of formats and offers robust playback control, including the ability to resume from the last position.
• MX Player: MX Player is known for its smooth playback and ability to resume from the last played position.
• PLAYit: PLAYit also offers features like background play and continues playback from the last position.

Other Considerations:

• Background Play: Some players also offer background play, allowing you to continue listening to audio or watching videos even when the screen is off or you switch to another app.
• Floating Play: Some players support floating windows, allowing you to play videos while using other apps.
• Hardware Acceleration: Some players offer hardware acceleration, which can improve performance and reduce CPU usage.
