MovieBox Android 0.12.0 (versionCode 15).

Player controls — the Flow-style set

  • Lock mode: the padlock in the top bar hides every control and the system bars behind a touch shield. The first back press unlocks instead of leaving the player, and entering picture-in-picture releases the lock.
  • Double-tap seek zones: double-tap the left or right third of the video to skip ten seconds; keep tapping to stack (+10s, +20s…) with a pill on the tapped side. The first tap reveals the controls instantly while hiding waits out the double-tap window, so a double-tap never flashes the controls.
  • Center play/pause pulse: double-tap the center to toggle playback, and every play-state change pulses a center icon — whichever control caused it.
  • Long-press speed boost: hold the video to double the speed; lift to restore. The gesture is explained on the playback settings page.
  • Subtitle timing: subtitles render in-app with live ±0.25 s / ±0.5 s controls (clamped to ten seconds), applied against the playback clock so seeks and speed changes are picked up instantly.
  • Sleep timer, audio tracks and the existing gestures remain available from the playback settings sheet.
