Update 1.1.23: Advanced Audio Player, Smart Playback & UI Refinements
Version 1.1.23 is packed with community-requested features, bringing a massive overhaul to our audio player capabilities, smarter background playback stability, and deep UI customizations to give you the perfect viewing experience.
- Complete Audio Player Overhaul: We've leveled up our audio capabilities! You can now freely adjust playback speed for audio tracks and utilize a brand-new dedicated Shuffle Mode. We've also added advanced sorting options directly inside the 'Tracks' tab for easier music management.
- Smart Audio Queueing: When opening an audio file from an external file manager, the app now intelligently queues all other audio files located in that same folder, fully restoring 'Next' and 'Previous' button functionality.
- Call-Aware Background Audio: Background audio now properly pauses when you receive an incoming phone call and automatically resumes from your exact timestamp when you hang up, rather than silently playing in the background.
- Background Stability Fixes: Resolved premature timeout bugs where background audio services or notifications would vanish too quickly when the app was paused or cleared from the recent apps menu.
- Expanded User Settings: You asked, we listened! The highly requested "Resume Video Play" toggle is back. We've also added a new setting allowing you to completely disable the "Auto-play next video" feature for those who prefer single-video playback.
- Crystal Clear Lock Screen: Activating the screen lock (Sperrtaste) now keeps the player UI completely transparent. We've removed the darkening effect and grey stripes so your video remains beautifully unobstructed.
- Smart Brightness Sync & UI Tweaks: To prevent night-time eye strain, the player no longer forces your last-used brightness on new sessions—it now safely syncs with your system brightness. Additionally, you can now select to show the "Remaining Play Time" in the top left corner of the video to reduce clutter around your battery and clock indicators.
- Updated Support Contact: Fixed the broken contact email in the "About Us" section so you can easily reach our developer team for feedback and support.

Version 1.1.22 brings our most expansive update yet! Enjoy complete video translations across 19 languages, smart speed memory options, customizable end-of-video actions, resilient PiP background playback, integrated audio file playback, and expanded video trimming options.
- Complete Video & UI Translations Across 19 Languages: AB Video Player now features full support for video translations! Additionally, interface translations across all 19 supported languages have been audited and corrected for a localized, highly accurate viewing experience globally.
- Smart Playback Speed Memory: Take full command of your viewing speed preferences. Set speed memory to save globally across all videos, keep custom speed settings per-video state, or automatically reset back to standard (1x) playback speed whenever a new video starts.
- Customizable End Actions: Configure what happens when a video finishes playing. Choose to automatically start the next video in your playlist, stay paused on the final frame, or exit the player UI entirely.
- Resilient Picture-in-Picture (PiP) & Background Timers: Multitask without interruptions—PiP mode now stays active even when AB Video Player is cleared from the device Recents menu. Built-in playback timers let you sleep to your favorite videos, and background audio speed drop issues have been fully resolved.

Update 1.1.19: Transparent UI, Auto Subtitles & Major Performance Boosts
Version 1.1.19 brings a massive overhaul to the player's core interface and background stability. Enjoy brand-new transparent layouts, highly requested subtitle enhancements, and much faster folder loading speeds across the board.
- Transparent Player Layouts & Modern Navigation: Introduced clean, ultra-sleek, transparent UI panels for Subtitle Info, Audio Equalizer, Sleep Timer, and the main 3-dots options menu. Designed for seamless viewing, these panels smoothly slide in from the side in landscape mode and slide up from the bottom in portrait mode, allowing you to adjust player settings without blocking your video content.
- Auto Subtitle Detection & Deep Customization: Our upgraded subtitle engine automatically detects, extracts, and synchronizes both embedded and external subtitle files (including SRT, VTT, SSA, and ASS) across MKV, MP4, and all supported video formats. You can now effortlessly scale subtitle font sizes and precisely adjust on-screen vertical positioning in real time using intuitive swipe gestures. To ensure maximum readability against any bright, dark, or high-contrast scenes, you have full freedom to customize the subtitle text color and independently set the background color and box opacity of the fonts. Furthermore, if downloaded subtitles are out of sync with the audio track, you can instantly tweak subtitle speed and fine-tune offset delay timings to perfectly match dialogue down to the millisecond.
- Slide-Down Playback Speed Lock: Added a highly requested slide-down gesture control that instantly locks your selected playback speed (such as 2x fast-forward or slow-motion). This prevents accidental touch inputs from resetting or changing your video speed while watching long movies or video lectures.
- Customizable Top Controls & Space Optimization: Introduced new player preferences that allow you to hide or disable unused top floating icons to maintain a clutter-free viewing environment. Additionally, the Hardware/Software (HW/SW) Decoder selector button has been moved into the streamlined 3-dots options menu to save valuable top-bar screen real estate.
- Dedicated Audio Effects Menu: Integrated a quick-access Audio Effects menu into the player overlay, enabling you to rapidly select, switch, and apply custom audio profiles, bass enhancements, and equalizer presets for an optimized sound profile.
- Unified Seekbar Preview & External File Fixes: Upgraded seekbar controls now feature high-precision scrubbing alongside a center-screen time preview overlay. Fixed an issue where external videos launched via the "Open With" intent displayed random numerical strings instead of actual file titles, and ensured "Share" and "File Info" options operate seamlessly for external storage files.
- Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode Repaired: Resolved floating PiP window playback glitches, fixed aspect-ratio scaling during window transitions, and restored reliable background control support.
- Lightning-Fast Storage Indexing: Re-engineered the local storage scanner and media repository indexer to deliver noticeably faster folder opening times and instant file sorting when switching between Date, Size, Name, or Resolution filters.
- Core Stability & Custom R8 Optimizations: Resolved SQLite database integrity crashes and fixed touch-seeking gesture stability bugs. Implemented refined R8 code-shrinking rules and ProGuard obfuscation logic to maximize execution speed and eliminate crashes across all Android operating system versions and device hardware types.
