When I'm streaming something on my phone and go to lock my screen my phone will stop streaming. So far I'm just streaming through the internet and using what ever is default to stream with.
Is there an app or trick that allows me to continue streaming when I lock my phone?

I have just got my HTC Touch Pro 2. When I listen to streaming radio from http://87.248.216.211:80/grupo_st92-live_audio?MSWMExt=.asf with Windows Media Player, the playback stops when the screen goes black due to inactivity. When playing MP3:s this never happens - the playback continues even when the screen goes black.
How can I fix the problem? I have tried this radio stream with GSPlayer and Resco without success.
I get the feeling something might be wrong with my phone. I can't get web content to stream in the background.
I've tried multiple different apps, and while they all have no problems playing music in my local library in the background, they all refuse to stream web content in the background. Listening to online radio for example through Real player - works fine while the app is the focus. As soon as I lock the screen though, or press the home button, the streaming player stops. But if I'm playing music that's on my phone, I can lock the screen and the music keeps playing.
This is driving me nuts.
Is there something wrong with my phone? Is there some way I can force android to keep the playback running? Is there an app I can use that has the capability of streaming web content in the background?
Well I found a solution to the streaming radio thing - TuneIn works perfectly.
Is there a way to stop media player from automatically playing a song when bluetooth audio connects?
I thought there was a setting on my old Epic 4G Touch to stop autoplay on connection, but I couldn't find it on the Note 2.
Basically when I run Pandora in the car, as soon as it starts up and connects to the BT, the media player starts playing, so I have to pause it, then go back into Pandora to have it play again, meanwhile, the media player shows a pause notification at the top the entire time.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I've been using Media Button Router on my last couple of phones. You can limit what apps it will interact with, and can just let it time out and no audio will play.
Excellent, I just downloaded it. Thanks!
I have tried PS3 media server, XBMC, and Plex on the server side.
I have tried meridian player, stock player, plex player, and dice player on the mobile player side.
Wi-fi connectrion speed is over 60mbps
Movies are all original blueray rips pre-encoded to .mp4
Sound is fine, video keeps up, but its an extremely low frame rate. If you can imagine someone talking with intermittent volume cutting out (so it sounds like theyare skipping, like when you try to fake your cell phone signal thats what my video is doing. it ONLY does it with media server movies, On device media, internet media, and youtube app media all play fine. I have no other issues with bluetooth or music streaming with any other app/device. its STRICTLY trying to play back media from my server
I have disabled smart screen, enabled forced gpu rendering, and turned off any animations.
Any ideas?
What resolution your rips? What settings for mobile do you have set in Plex?
I appologize for never re-opening this thread! It got moved and i forgot all about it. the rips were all 1080p. But as I said, pre-encoded to mp4 so no processing needed to convert the files.. over time this seems to have corrected itself, Im not sure how or why but the problem just stopped one day and it was working fine... go figure...
I listen to ESPN radio a lot using either slacker radio or AOL radio app from the play store. Problem I'm having is it constantly stops streaming. I don't believe its a data issue because I disconnect from bluetooth and stream on my speaker phone and it works a lot better. Also... Streaming via Bluetooth I use poweramp or rocket player or whatever default music player and I don't really have issues. This happens on touchwiz and aosp. Any one else with problems like this with same apps or other apps? Thanks in advance.
I have similar issues with NFL GamePass app. On the GN2, I have to my bluetooth device off (but can have blue tooth radio on) when I start a video, otherwise the video plays like it's on fast-forward or only shows a black screen. On Android 4.1.2 the video would stop, and I would have go from full screen to non-full screen for the video to start playing again.
I have the same issue with NFL GP app on my tablet (ASUS Infinity Pad (TF700)) as well. So it's the app. I have no idea because it's only thing that does it; no issue on Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, MLBatBat, ESPN3, NHL CenterIce, BBC iPlayer, Google Music to name a few.
It just happens.
