Anyone have link mx player pro 1.9.18.2 apk?

In my PS still 1.9.17. Tia
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
It is for beta testers only
[MX Player] doomscooter:
Iam in beta tester too but not get update to 1.9.18.2
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Looks like a Google Play issue. Just leave the beta & sign up again.
[MX Player] j1gga84:
I had the same issue.

Quit the beta program and enter it again solved the issue.

1.9.18.2 combined with the correct custom codec

doesn't support ac3

1.9.17 with the custom codec was fine

is this a known issue ?

Thank you
[MX Player] osm0sis:
I noticed this too. The custom codec doesn't provide AC3 anymore though, MX is supposed to. Maybe MX reverted their AC3 patch by mistake?

https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpe...b0031095615e/ffmpeg/JNI/config-ffmpeg.sh#L372 and L373

Are the only ac3 search results I found and I'm pretty sure those aren't it. After I removed the normal AC3 + others .
[MX Player] InvalidDNA:
It looks like you haven't read the script completely. There are several decoders that are disabled in the recent one. And there is a variable that can enable all disabled components. Just look at the second and third line of config-ffmpeg.sh. DISABLE_IILEGAL_COMPONENTS variable controls the all codecs that are disabled due to legal issues. Just change the variable to false or remove the line 460-465. Otherwise, your custom codec won't have support for several other codecs.

But, even after enabling all codecs, still ac3 has some issues. Others working properly. Probably some thing wrong with their end.

[MENTION=4258555]Thirumalai.K[/MENTION]

Can you look at the issue?

Why we couldn't use AC-3 even after using the custom codecs?
[MX Player] USBhost:
Yeah your right. Even after disabling that ac3 continues not to work.
[MX Player] ChazzMatt:
Revert to previous version.

I've just disabled auto update for this app on Google Play.

Yes. It was accidental. We have updated the FFmpeg sources on our website to address this issue.

1.9.18.2 is officially up again... but with AC3 working

This is what changed. thanks [MENTION=4258555]Thirumalai.K[/MENTION]

[MX Player] InvalidDNA:
Yes. It's working now.

It's better if you can make a note on OP. Those who have already downloaded can download again.

Moreover, now custom codec adds more support than just ac3, eac3 & dts. You can adjust the title too?
[MX Player] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, the thread title could be clarified. We point so many people to this thread, because even though they have seen it sometimes they don't realize it's what they need when "xx" doesn't work on MX Player.

Installing & audio playback issue

Using mx pro I have a cpl movies on my note 8 causing me problems. Several refuse to play audio correctly except if I use ear phones, not sure if all are AAC but at least a cpl are. If try to play them on phone using its speaker directly or Bluetooth to single speaker then it's scrambled/squeaky but plug in or connect Bluetooth headset and audio is perfect. I thought maybe newer custom codec might help but neither the new aio or neon files will install, just get the message about needing to use Arm7_neon custom codec & since not found use default. Anyway, after fighting the app & uninstalling/reinstalling mx pro it finally allowed me to reinstall the older AIO file of version Version 1.9.17 (ARMv7 NEON, custom codec 1.9.8) but still have the audio problem. Any suggestions so I can watch these movies without headphones?

Thanks in advancd
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you share a sample?

If you are getting audio on headphones means that there is no decoder issue. It may happen when the audio track itself has phase issues.

In such cases, if you play through a stereo speakers (like headphones or external speakers), there shouldn't be any issues as both channels are played independently. But, when you play through the internal speakers (Except few devices, most of them are mono), Android will downmix the stereo to mono. if both channels are out of phase, phase cancellation will occur. So, you may not get the sound even though it's playing.

Kindly read https://www.uaudio.com/blog/understanding-audio-phase/ to know more.
[MX Player] JustJesseBear:
It could be phase issue, but I'm not sure. I do get audio it's just very high pitched electronic almost squeaky sounding. Had one movie do it but then I backed it up and the audio played fine afterwards. Will try to find a sample file I can link to so can see for yourself. Otherwise, if nothing else, I'll record the sound using my watch, lol
[MX Player] USBhost:
Yes. Just redownload it just to be safe.

I wasn't aware of TrueHD being broken in it, only ac3. I tested one of my videos that had TrueHD and it worked.

It's the latest for the beta. You can still get the older version on Google drive
[MX Player] zoonr:
indeed it works now, thanks!

however some subs are completely messed up now (small and all over the screen) but that has nothing to do with your codec :)

Hello, I have a android tv box with rk3328 and I get no dts-sound with latest codecs 1.9.18.2. It´s not a hardware problem because vlc plays the files. But my favorite was mxplayer as I could use it out of es file explorer. Anything I can do?

Why do I getting this constant messages? I downloaded the 3/28 build

Have you tried HW or SW mode instead of HW+? I get no audio with "+". HW seems to working fine w/ DD and DTS.

We will be thankful, if you could share a screenshot & a sample file. We will try to get it fixed at the earliest.
[MX Player] gllark:
Thanks, but either way it doesn't work.
[MX Player] steelgtr:
Is the codec supposed to work in HW+ mode? Mine doesn't on an Android TV box and I have lip sync issues that are only correctable in HW+ mode ( greyed out in HW mode)

thx

bob
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hi,

Kindly collect a bug report immediately after playing the file that has issues & share the bug report here. We need to look into the MX Player logs to know the exact issue.
[MX Player] gllark:
Thanks for your reply. I have made a bug report. My android device is a chinese tv box T96N with a Rockchip RK3328 running Nougat 7.1.2. I have the mx player pro 1.9.18.2 installed via aptoide and the newest aio-codec from here. The played file is a mkv with dts. As already mentioned vlc plays the file with sound, mx player pro plays the video without sound, no matter what settings I use.
[MX Player] steelgtr:
Thanks, I will do that.

But for the record, should the codec work in all 3 modes, SW, HW, and HW+?

bob
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hi,

The logs are incomplete. Looks like some other process is generating more logs. Can you increase the log buffer size in "Developer Options" in the system settings & collect the bug report again?

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

No. HW & HW+ uses the decoders implemented in the device. So, it may vary on every device.
[MX Player] sssteeve:
NOTE: Problem solved. See EDIT at bottom of post.

I dl'd latest version of mx_aio.zip but only get an error message when selecting it in MX Player Pro version 1.9.7 settings:

"Can't find custom codec. Please use version 1.9.8 ARMv7 NEON codec."

(Before upgrading from version 1.7.34 MX Player would automatically install AIO.ZIP if found in Downloads file but that did not work with v 1.9.17.)

Any suggestions?

Thanks for creating the custom codec which has helped so many MX Player users!

Nexus 10 (16GB) running Android 5.1.1

EDIT: I see that MX Player added AC3 support last year for the latest versions. Are there any advantages to using MX_AIO w/ v. 1.9.17?
[MX Player] steelgtr:
Me too ;)
[MX Player] lotan_rm:
Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm at the right place.

With this custom codec (neon) I get crashes when watching a video.

The latest one had streams H.264 and DTS. It crashed twice and each time the crucial log error message seems to be:

04-05 15:35:36.867 I/*MX.FFReader(29963): Reached EOS. [status:-12(0xfffffff4) avio_feof():false defaultSourceHasRemainingPackets:true]

Before that, the MX. log messages seem to indicate no problem.

I'm not sure whether the MX Player people or the codec people can better help me interpret that error message.

My interpretation is: An end of stream is detected, however it's not the end of the file. What is status -12? Does that refer to a status returned from ffmpeg?

If more data is needed I'm happy to provide more.

If I'm wrong here, please point me to the right post.
[MX Player] TToTT:
Just wanted to say thanks for the update; it looks, plays, and sounds beautiful. ?

For those that are having issues, I did at first too. Seems the play store beta program for MXPlayer is in a standstill (as I signed up for it months ago, yet it still showed my verification as "pending", so I downloaded the latest MXPlayer from an external site (https://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/mx-player-android-apk-latest-download/), installed/updated it, and selected the new codec (in MX's settings) that I downloaded from the thread's download section. Everything's worked flawlessly since. ? Seems the latest codec also needs the latest apk and vice-versa... Hope that helps some of you. ?
[MX Player] toanau:
Same thing here. I am using the AIO
[MX Player] Sqarborough:
You guys need to download and use the 1.9.8 codec in the Google drive Link, not the 1.9.18.2 one.
[MX Player] j1gga84:
[MENTION=5555228]TToTT[/MENTION]

You have to quit the beta program and enter it again, after that you can download the latest build.

I also had this "pending status" issue.

Excellent. I tried that yesterday and now just checked... Seems like in that 24 hours my "pending" went through. Thanks for the assist.

Could you tell exactly what version of MX and what Codec version are working together (latest)

Links?

[MX Player] Sqarborough:
MX Player 1.9.17 is the current one from the Play Store for me. The 1.9.8 codec works with it.

If you try to install a custom codec and it's not the right one, it will tell you which codec version you need in the message.

There was a Play Store derp, so you need to leave and reenter the beta to get the latest.

No Fast Forward in HW Mode?

This is weird. On my Nvidia Shield, I have to use "HW" mode to get DD or DTS. SW and HW+ don't work. The problem is in HW mode only, I can't FF or scroll through the time line, it just snaps back to the current point.

On my other Android boxes, I also can only get DD in HW mode but they fast forward fine.

Any ideas?

thx

[MX Player] InvalidDNA:
You have to download the right version of the custom codec. If you are using the MX Player v1.9.17, then open the google drive link on OP& download the version 1.9.8. If you have downloaded from the xda links, then that's for MX Player 1.9.18.2 and newer.

[MENTION=5501864]USBhost[/MENTION]

Kindly think about adding version number to the zip file name as well. it will reduce the confusion. all your package names are same for every new version. so, user may get confused.

Finally someone with related problem! :)

it is not only looses seeking. if you keep watching video it will be pausing every few seconds. (maybe 10-15 seconds pause and then plays again).

It would be great if it can be fixed!

PS: you don't need HW+ and SW on nvidia Shield. HW is all we need since Audio pass-through works only with HW!

Devs please fix DTS seeking (fast forward rewind) :)

Can you share your Shield audio settings? Surround, Stereo up mix, etc?

bob
[MX Player] Makcum:
Hi,

There are not so many settings really related to HDMI and then Optic audio (optic audio form TV to a receiver).

Surround Sound - Auto

Stereo upmix - off

all the rest of those settings are irrelevant for my setup. They wont do anything (Fixed volume - off, USB audio mode - 5.1, system sounds - off).
[MX Player] Makcum:
With more testings I've realized that seeking (fast forward and rewind) doesn't work with any audio streams if pass-through is involved.
[MX Player] flitzz:
Where can I download rev 2 version from 2018.04.29?
[MX Player] Makcum:
Audio passthrough doesn't work on Android TV.

1. nVidia Shield - partially works but brakes time seek completely on all streams (fast forward and rewind) (some DTS streams don't work - lagging)

2. Sony Android TV - Doesn't work at all - external codecs required

Is it all in road map for fixing?

Thank you in advance.

[MX Player] Makcum:
Still no Audio passthrough on Sony Android TV and Philips Android TV (AC3 is officially supported there KODI can do it).

Still Broken audio passthrough on nVidia shield in version 1.9.23 beta, still crashes on truehd audio if you try to fast forward or rewind with custom codecs. (Kodi does it, plex does it. vlc does it)

I have a feeling like nobody cares abut quality surround sound here and everybody including devs are okay with using this player for stereo sound only.

Weird.

Kinda regret already I bought pro version.
[MX Player] steelgtr:
Do all versions of VLC have DD and DTS codecs built in? I've had trouble with VLC lately too.

bob
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
We couldn't reproduce the audio pass-through issue on NVIDIA shield. The MX works differently from KODI. Unlike KODI, MX Player detects the capability of the connected receiver & enables the pass-through accordingly. So, if the receiver doesn't report the DD or DTS decoding capability then it won't be enabled. We already have some plans to try the forced audio pass-through in future versions. But, we can't provide any timeframe at the moment as our developers are actively working on some other features.

Regarding the TrueHD seek issue, we will try to get it fixed at the earliest.
[MX Player] Makcum:
Thank you very much for prompt reply. I jut hope it wont take too long ot wait.

I want to understand the process of installing custom codecs here. By selecting zip file through Custom Codec tab , are we making changes to Android framework or system files. Are we changing any system files or adding new files.?

According to link below, we need make changes to Android in order to install custom codec.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15334509/android-how-to-integrate-a-decoder-to-multimedia-framework

I am really confused :(
[MX Player] kenbo111:
You're not making any changes like that. That link is a guy creating his own decoder. Different thing. The codecs just tell Mx player how to play different file formats. Just tell Mx where the codecs are and restart Mx. That's it.
[MX Player] vkvictor1989:
Do you mean that by using Custom decoder zip file, we are only informing MX player about where to find decoder and not installing new decoder or providing a new decoding functionality to MX player?
[MX Player] kenbo111:
Ok, this is not a custom decoder, it's custom codecs. Basically it describes to the Mx-player's decoder how specific video formats "work." So that Mx can decode and play it for you. So it is providing functionality (it can decode formats it did not know about before)
[MX Player] vkvictor1989:
Ok, thanks!!!
