[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
No, it's just device summary which is appended when you send the report by mail.

Just play the file which has issue.

Close the video & go to help > bug report

When it shows bug report window, enable all including "save to file option".

The bug report will be saved on the root of your internal sdcard.

Just upload it.

If you still has any doubts Kindly my sticky thread about how to collect logs & report bugs.
[MX Player] zen0s:
Thank you for the explanation.

I believe this is what you were looking for.

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have managed to get the sample file of the video from torrents.

Anyway MX Player doesn't have any problem.

Problem is that audio volume is very low in the video itself.

You will hear a minor noise when I keep the ears close to the speaker.

But, with earphones it's absolutely clear.
[MX Player] zen0s:
Thank you! :)
[MX Player] zen0s:
Strange, I cranked up the volume with earbuds but I'm not getting any audio but weird noise :/ wonder if it's got something to do with my device
[MX Player] Slackflash:
My S7 SM-G930F works like charm with AIO patch on MX Player 1.8.3

Thks and keep the good job :p
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Probably your device device is limiting the audio output. In my s5 minor noise is observed via external speaker when volume 30. In earphone audio is audible.

Try any other files with ac3 track.

This issue is the poor audio quality in the file itself. MX Player has nothing to do with it.
[MX Player] TallTommy:
I just came in to say thank you for the updated codecs. :)
[MX Player] jays473:
[MENTION=4258555]ktsamy[/MENTION] same issue here, mx player 1.8.3 does not detect the codec.

Version 1.7... works, it detects and i am able to install the custom code. However after about 30+mins into whatever im watching the audio starts to get distorted (crackling noise, that kind of sound you usually hear when a video is corrupt and all you here is that distorted noise). Will try and get you a logcat

Now mx 1.8.3 with the latest 1.8... codec, I have placed it in my download and root of my internal memory but when i launch mx player, it ask for codec to be installed and only option for me to press is an 'ok' button which opens up play store.. unfortunately play store codec version is only for 1.7... so i cannot even try method 2 in your post

My device asus tf101 (tegra 2 non neon)
[MX Player] BlackBiZZ:
hi own a Sony Android TV.

Works wonderfully, but it is possible that the codec outputs 5.1 DTS or can someone write something?

Sry'm from Germany and my English is not so good.

[MX Player] Willie_Heckerslyke:
Just a word to say 'Thanks' for the updated codecs. Just got a Galaxy S7 and used the AOI pack now everything's sweet with AC3....

Great stuff. Thank you.....
[MX Player] lilogrub:

According to my recent conversation still there some more features needs to be added & tested before releasing it to public.

Does not play DD on Moto G LTE. Works fine on Nexus7 2013. Both stock Android 6. Anyway thank you for your effort.

any setting for passthrough audio for Android TV´s that i can 5.1 Sound Output become?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Use HW decoder. Only HW will pass the audio at the moment. Individual audio pass through feature is in development
[MX Player] edinaon:
I'm using an Android Tv Box (Mxq pro) with mxplayer 1.7.40 Neon version. After I loaded new drivers the sounds still doesn't work (for my Samsung S4 everything was ok) so is there any other setup like using H/W + decoder ?

Thank you,

[MX Player] wokwitme:
i have MX plus II RK3229 and using MX player for playing hevc file but still cannot pass through 5.1ch AAC format

the video play smoothly but the sound only got 2.1ch through my reciever :(

do you know what should i do to fix that?

coz when i used my playstation3 to play x264 file with AAC 5.1ch, it can pass through to my reciever so i think my reciever can decode AAC5.1ch format

i cannot used any other player to play hevc file, only MX player an native player can play smoothly hevc file

any suggest please?

thanks

update:

i try to convert AAC 5.1ch to AC-3 5.1ch

and MX player can deliver all channel to my reciever perfectly

for this time, i think this is the way to watch hevc file with 5.1ch audio
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Probably it might be limitations from your hardware. Can you collect the logs immediately after playing the video & upload here?

finally found the answer why my device cannot pass through the AAC5.1ch to my reciever even used MX palyer

its not the reciever problem or MX player trouble, all because of the spdif itself :(:(:(

Kindly read what is custom codec from the first post. The issue you have mentioned is irrelevant to custom codec.

Kindly create a new thread & upload the logs.

Without logs, we can identify what went wrong.

I have a Huawei P8 5.1

It's possible to make this files part of the Andoid system to enjoy with 3d players? not only to MX

Thanks

I have installed the latest android firefox, but it does not play any videos from the below site

hotstar.com

it says video not supported or MIME not supported

Will MX player solve this problem if yes then please tell me the steps
[MX Player] Ja_som:
Try Chrome. Content is not available in my country, but it seemed that it will play. I don't think that MX will help you, MX player is not plugin for browsers, and it also does not play video from web, only if you have direct link...
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's basically not a MX Player issue. It's a firefox issue. Firefox could not handle m3u8 playlist properly. That's why it throws the error.

MX Player can intercept most of the video streams whether it's a static link or not. Even If the link is needs authentication it can play the video if proper intent data is forwarded.

If you want to still stick with Firefox, just long press the video place holder (i.e black video frame with error). From the context menu select "Open with an App" & Choose MX Player. I have checked myself & I can play without issue in MX Player.

The video is embedded in the page. Chrome doesn't allow to open the video with other apps until or unless the url has the media extension. So, it's not possible with chrome.
[MX Player] aavvaallooss:
Try with the app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.startv.hotstar&hl=en
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Probably he might be aware about the app since it's well advertised in all of their channels & website as well.

Even he can use chrome as well. But, can't pass it to your favorite Video Player.

But, there are many advantages (of couse some disadvantages) of using website along with third party players..[emoji1] [emoji1]

That's why I suggested the proper solution for his question of using firefox + MX Combo.

Custom Codec doesnt work - makes strange alien sound

Hi!

I recently switched to new phone with Android 5.0 . Installed MX player 1.7.40 (ARMv7 NEON). Downloaded aio.1.7.32.rev1.zip.

Movie with AC3 sounds like incomprehensible alien speak, kind of burble or babble. Tried also neon.1.7.32.rev1.zip without effect.

System info:

Android 5.0, API Level 21, Kernel 3.10.61

CPU MT6752

GPU Mali-T760

Thank you for any help !

Hi guys,

Unfortunately I am out of my home right now.

I understand your feelings.

I will continue to support MX Player. Definitely I will update the codecs within 6-8hrs (I have to download the latest NDK).

Be patient till that.

Inconvenience regretted....!!!

There are some issues in compiling the custom codec...:confused:

Original developer of MX Player is working on it...:good:

I will compile & upload the codecs once it's fixed by the developer...:)

Please be patent till that.
[MX Player] Binaryian:
Very appreciated that you are handing us this info. For my part I have no problem waiting when I know that someone is working on a fix. :p
[MX Player] superlinkx:
Oh good, I thought I was just inept at compiling there for a bit. Tried to compile it from source to share with everyone last night, but neither version of the NDK seemed capable of compiling without errors. Thought it might just be me, but nice to know it's just a problem with the current code and is being fixed.

I have problems getting the volume up, its difference up to level 7-10. Rising it above this doesn't make any difference. Is this a bug in the player or codec?

Using N7 with 4.3 and MXP 1.7.16 H/W+.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Is it happening with your native player or only with MX Player.?

Just disable the custom codec by selecting the "use default codec" option. Then check it again. If you have any problem even after disabling the custom codecs, then the problem is with the player.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Probably audio quality of the file might be poor. We have faced some cases like this.

Can you try any other file with ac3 audio..?

It will be better if you can provide a small sample clip.
[MX Player] keimouth79:
1.7.32-40 users are stricly adviced to use codec v1.7.32rev1

Absolutely brilliant - with this miracle upgrade(codec v1.7.32rev1) I can now enjoy all the magic of the MX Player on my Samsung Note 4. Those using VLC Player must wake up explore the the extravagance of the MX player. Audio syncronization in perfect harmony with - no need invoke the increase/decrease of audio speed.

Job well done you guys

[MX Player] Kurihunt:
I can confirm next:

* The same AC3 file works well with VLC but not with current MX Player Custom Codec

* An other AC3 file work well with current MX Player Custom Codec

Seems that some kind of encodings have issues.

Some info provided by video provider:

Video: AVC 2000kbps 2Pass-HQ

Resolution: 1264x592 30fps

Audio: AC3 2.0 Digital Audio

Sample clip I can provide later.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:

[MX Player] dhruvdave:

It happens with only certain files.

Kindly provide a small sample clip. Then only I can check it.
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
I am using samsung j7 2015 android 5.1

The file which has strange audio issue is playing fine only in vlc desktop

I am attaching sample file
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
What about VLC (or any others) in android..?
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
Vlc android also fails
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
In fact this is not related to custom codec at all. The audio codec in this file is aac which is natively supported by android.

Just plug the earphones. You will get the clear audio. This issue is when the audio is played through the speaker. It's same with HW (system decoder) & SW (ffmpeg decoder). The issue might be from android itself when certain kind of audio is played it produces wired noises in speakers.

Could check the same with earphones..?
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
Yes it is working great with the ear phones.Thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
The exists in all devices. I have Tested it on Moto E2, Samsung Galaxy S5. Both behaves like same.

Probably it's an android issue as I said earlier.
[MX Player] Kurihunt:
I can confirm it too. Using earphones sound is OK.
[MX Player] Garfieldbyrne:
Yeees. Thank you so much you bronzed god.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
@dhruvdave @Kurihunt

Short Story:

After lot of analysis I have found the root cause of the issue. The issue is from the audio track itself. All of your devices (Including Some of mine) has Mono Speakers. When You play the audio through speaker, it needs to be down sampled to mono in order to play. When it's down sampled to mono one channel is nullifying another due to poor audio recording. In earphone the audio is played in stereo. So, there won't be any issue. There is no issue in devices with stereo speakers as well.

Detailed Story:

The Sample file provided was ripped from another release named "The.Forest.2016.HDRip.XviD.AC3-EV". But, if you look at the torrent notes it has been mentioned that "NOTES: The audio itself has like an hallow/metalic effect, well, but to be honest, its very watchable. The video by other hand, has some flickering time-to-time, nothing major or annoying.

Its an early release and the best available for now. Enjoy."

So, I have downloaded the original Sample as well & found that the source itself has issue when down sampled to mono.

After analyzing the raw audio streams it has been found that one track of the stereo channel is nullifying another when down sampled & results in loss of audio data. It was the root cause for the metallic effect too.

I have prepared a fixed audio by inverting the stream & I have attached the same sample with the new audio track. I haven't done any audio effects. It's same as your original except I have inverted the track. If You play the first track (original) you will have issue with Speakers & In Earphones you will notice metallic effect. In second audio stream will play nicely in Speakers & you can hear the clear audio in earphones without metallic effects.
[MX Player] maciekbe:
How about implementing a simple polarity switch to one of stereo channels in the player. It would be cure for such bad tracks.
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
Yes you are right it is working in speakers also.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have already discussed with MX Player developer regarding this. Hope he will add a option to use stereo with phase inversion.
[MX Player] lintern:
Thanks for the codec. Audio working fine with all video files :D
[MX Player] Girish Illanad:

[MX Player] Manipulas:
Hi, can somebody help me with using this with the Android shield TV..

I've downloaded v 1.8.0 arm v7 neon but it doesn't make any difference with aac audio. What decoder settings exactly do I need to change?

Also is it still the case it only supports 2.0 audio?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
What kind of change you are expecting?

Are you getting the audio or not..?

If you are looking for audio effects, you have ccompletely misunderstood everything about custom codec.

Kindly read the OP to know what's custom codec...!
[MX Player] bat0nas:
Hi,

I freshly installed MX player from Google Play after some time and can't install custom codec. MX player (which is v1.8) doesn't accept v1.7 codecs and v1.8 nightly codec. The error I'm getting says I must use 1.8.5 codec.

Any ideas how to fix that?
[MX Player] Manipulas:
Yes sorry no audio when playing acc. What decoder settings am I supposed to change for it to work?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Decoder settings has nothing to do with. Almost all android device has native AAC support by default.

Can check with the earphone...?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Could you share a screenshot?

As of now there is no mx payer version with custom codec v1.8.5 requirements.
