Kimballslice1890 6 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Just a feature request. I am by no means an app developer so I do not know what it would take, but Picture in Picture mode would be awesome if the Emby app could make use of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechner123 12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi I tried the multi window with chrome and emby. This work only if the emby app, i don't know how to say, is in foreground. I do this very often, but with two different browsers. In this case the video is playing while surfing in the other browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Using the emby app, just click the home button on your device during video playback and that will activate the picture in picture feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechner123 12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I know. But the video stops playing when i click on the second window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 You need to be using the test build i've linked to above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechner123 12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 You mean the libmpv version? This version i tried now also but the video stops instantly if i click on the other window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Well you don't click on another window, you click the home button on your device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechner123 12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Oh luke i am sorry. I have confused oreo with nougat and there i meant the multi window funktion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 yea currently if you switch to another app the video will pause and this is by design. it's always something we can reconsider though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechner123 12 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 This would be cool. Also some of the new phones have near a 2:1 display where this can be used good i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 There are improvements for this in the beta version of the app. If you'd like to try that you can learn how here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/24350-android-open-beta-testing/ Thanks !

rechner123 12 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 yea currently if you switch to another app the video will pause and this is by design. it's always something we can reconsider though.Is this function possible? With the pip function, the video is so small and the size can not be changed. In the multiwindow view, the screen is better utilized in the portait view. This works with a second browser, but I would rather use the app. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 In our case android decides how big to make the picture in picture window, as it is a system function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechner123 12 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 That's why i don't want to use PIP. So it would be nice if in the multi window screen, the emby app will continue playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikSlayer 197 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) I find PiP very useful when I'm watching YouTube and trying to look something up on my browser at the same time. And now I've noticed it's there in the beta on my Note 9! Works great! Except if the screen locks, the video cuts out, and you'll see black unless you stop and restart the video.
