This is something that has been bugging me ever since I started using CM back on my old Nook tablet. Whenever I view a piece of embedded media, such as a youtube clip for example, I have to use what I'm assuming is JB's default (and very basic) controls instead of youtube's native controls. is there there anyway I can make it so I can use the supplied GUI for embedded media instead of these basic ones?
I Was Wondering if anyone would be interested in taking on the challenge of allowing whole system audio to be cast to a chromecast for apps that dont support it, BubbleUPNP has a module for xsposed that works but id rather avoid xsposed and it would be nice to have it merged into cm too.
DOnt really have the knowledge to do it myself but can test it for anyone who doesnt have a chormecast
any takers?
Hi guys I've searched for this but haven't found anything on it really. Is there an app or an xposed module that will allow me to share my screen to a DLNA compatible renderer. For instance I want to see everything I'm doing on by phone via my Xbox through bubbleupnp?
Is this possible? Thanks guys
Edit: I assume it is possible since kit kat allows screen record and bubbleupnp already allows audio cast. Same concept just video instead of audio

Hi guys,
I'm new in this magisk thing, but loving it so far. I see that Xposed is still on early stages on Nougat, and there is a Xposed module that I really miss. and I after seeing that the functionality of some Xposed modules has been replicated in Magisk, I was wondering if there was an equivalent to it. That module is ThomasHoffmann's Media Scanner Optimizer v. 1.3. This module allows you to tweak how the scans for media in your device are performed, but the killer feature, in my opinion, is the ability to set the type of media in a certain folder and ignore the rest of it (useful, for example, to prevent album art from appearing in your gallery, but still scanning the music, something that adding the .nomedia file would prevent).
I did a quick search and come up with nothing. I know that Magisk and Xposed are totally different things and I understand that just because there is a Xposed module, that doesn't mean that there has to be a Magisk one, or that it isn't particularly easy to get something from Xposed replicated in Magisk, and I'm not asking for that. I just was wondering if somebody could point me to a way to get that functionality.
Cheers!

There are a lot of media scanner in the PlayStore?! or what are the difference?
or what about
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17928576/refresh-android-mediastore-using-adb
Thanks for your suggestions. The play store is full of media scanner apps, indeed, that cover part of the functionality of the module I mentioned (which is controlling when the storage is scanned for media, and also allows to do scans on demand, something that was a problem on kitkat/lollipop). With my old phone I had to block the startup scan, as it would take ages to scan my 64gb SD card. My new phone doesn't seem to struggle that much.
On the other hand, the Xposed module had another functionality, which is the one I'm looking after. There are certain folders that I don't want on my gallery (messaging apps' media folders). I can block them with the .nomedia file. Cool. I also happen to have album art of each of my albums, that clutter the gallery. If I use the .nomedia file there, the folders are not scanned and I loose the music too. The Media Optimizer allows to add a file on each folder telling the type of media to scan (so I can say that a certain folder contains only music, don't scan for pictures here), keeping the music in my library, but not the album art.
I reckon that it's a pretty niche use case, but I think that's literally the point of all this thing, isn't it? to scratch that particular itch that you might have here and there.
Hi! Watching sandbox-like environments like Parallel Space and Google Play Instant Apps, which run APKs seamlessly in the system using a virtual installation environment, I was thinking if a Xposed virtual environment is possible, where APKs would be run seamlessly while applying Xposed hooks.
How do you think? I know it would be a lot of work, but I would be glad to help.

And I'm even thinking of a "VM" with these applications.. Where rooting is possible (yes, we can do anything in a VM, unless it requires special hardware accesses…) and Xposed is too possible, WITHOUT BREAKING SAFETYNET.

I think it's probably easier to modify the APK directly. Like you see with the non-root ad-free background playback youtube apks. It is possible if someone wants to develop it. Closest right now would be having a android x86 VM over VNC to your phone.
