[Feature Request]: Allow for multi audio sources on android TV #3787

Open zombiehunter1 opened 1 month ago

zombiehunter1 commented 1 month ago

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Please add a feature to stop the player from taking over the audio source, I like to play live streams but would like the audio to come from vlc player not the video source.

Currently I can get vlc to play but as soon as I start a YT stream the VLC audio is killed.

Describe the solution you'd like

Vlc audio to continue playing but the video play without taking over the audio.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not sure where to disable the "Audio Focus" in this app

Please add "Mono Audio" (merging channels) feature if possible.

I downloaded App Ops - Permission manager and changed the AUDIO FOCUS permission of SmartTube to Ignore, while the SmartTube loaded a video without overriding vlc playing in the background, the video did not play I could scroll the timeline but clicking play does nothing. so in theory what I'm after is possible but there is something else happening in the decoder preventing playback.

I was able to get a video to play by adding the sound off button to the player, as soon as the sound off was clicked the video started playing.

So in short an option to play a YT video with no audio and not take audio focus
