# Gapless Video Playback Philips SoC running Android 7 or earlier

In order to play one video after another without a black frame between them it is necessary for the device to be able to decode more than one video at the same time.

Set the Video Engine to `Android Media Player`. Do this in the player settings by following these steps:

* Go to the **Displays** page in your CMS
* Use the row menu for the Display and click `Edit` 
* Go to the `Settings` tab
* Scroll to the bottom and you will see an option named `Video Engine`. Use the `Override` box to change it to `Android Media Player`
* **Save** to confirm the change

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/kb/media-players/gapless-video-playback-philips-soc-running-android-7-or-earlier.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
