Behavior Settings

This section controls the general behavior of the application, such as what happens when you open content or switch between apps.

Preferred 'open' action

Defines the default action when you tap on a video or stream.

• Options: Show info, Video player, Background player, Popup player, Download, Add to playlist, Always ask.
• Default: Video player

My Preference

I set this to Video player to immediately start watching content without extra steps.

Use external audio player

When enabled, plays audio streams using a third-party music player app on your device instead of PipePipe's built-in player.

• Default: Disabled

Minimize on app switch

Determines what happens to the video when you switch to another app from the main player.

• Options: None, Minimize to background player, Minimize to popup player.
• Default: Minimize to background player

My Preference

Minimize to background player is perfect for listening to content while doing other things on your phone.

Start main player in fullscreen

Bypasses the mini-player and opens videos directly in fullscreen mode. You can still access the mini-player by swiping down to exit fullscreen.

• Default: Disabled

Autoplay

Controls the automatic playback of the next video in a playlist or queue.

• Options: Always, Only on Wi-Fi, Never.

Confirm on exit

Requires you to press the back button twice to exit the app, preventing accidental closures.

• Default: Enabled

Inner comment scroll

Keeps the video player fixed at the top of the screen while you scroll through comments.

Load full playlist

Loads all items in a playlist at once when you open it, instead of loading them as you scroll.
