interesting, I just tested right now on my
Google Pixel 4a 5Grunning Android 13 and it works just like always. Also running Termux0.118.Auxia commentedon Aug 21, 2023
Could it be because of the android version I am running? I am running Android 14 beta 5. I installed termux from their Github Assets and mpv from the play store.
