The name of the zipped file (means *.zip) doesn't matter. What matters is the names of the codec files inside the zipped file (or directly the name of the codec files if you don't use the zipped file). You can change the name of a file in a zipped file by using Winrar for example.
[MX Player] rsngfrce:
The simplest answer is that you can use an app (of which there are many) to extract the zip, then rename the codec in the folder that was extracted, then archive the folder as a zip again.
[MX Player] ashish1989:
Yes,I have done the same using win rar app, my problem is solved now

I am waiting for the new version of mx player pro in which codec v1.35.0 will be supported without making any changes
[MX Player] danilsvarok:
Всем привет! Не подскажите что делать.
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Do the codecs work for mx player pro as well? I always assumed it was for the normal version
[MX Player] vovacat17:
When is this one released? I did get an update for the MX player Pro with the new GUI, but the subtitle problem is still here. Is there any other way to fix the subtitle problem in the meantime? It really ruins my life. (The codec itself is working just fine, I have sound)

Which version of codec file do you use ?
[MX Player] vovacat17:
neon64.1.32.0 (I didn't rename anything). I have Matepad pro, which is why, I believe, I require the ARMv8 codec.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Give a try using neon64.1.35.0 and renaming it neon64.1.32.0.
[MX Player] vovacat17:
Wow, looks like that one did actually help, thanks!
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Codecs 1.25.0 and 1.35.0 seem OK for embedded subtitles. The way to rename the codec file depends on the version of MX Player (and the application shows what is needed).
[MX Player] rsngfrce:
Yes, they deal with an audio issue that isn't allowed in the app on the Play Store, both free and pro.
[MX Player] _Pickaxx69_:
Bro Pls release Armv8 neon codec for latest version of mx player
[MX Player] _Pickaxx69_:
Armv8 neon 1.35.5
[MX Player] _Pickaxx69_:
Latest version mx player Armv8 neon codec pls
[MX Player] Shumzy55:
https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpeg/releases/download/1.35.0/mx_neon64.zip

Neon64 is basically "Armv8 neon"
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
It seems easy to use aio.
[MX Player] ashish1989:
Yes the codec work very well with pro version too
[MX Player] _Pickaxx69_:
Bro using of these codec will reducing sound from the video
[MX Player] Shumzy55:
These codecs are from the official host, this is where many download their codecs from, I'm not sure if this issue is from the codecs or maybe the video it self...have you tried testing out other videos as well? (You could also try using the "aio" codec recommended by Mandrake1 er above)
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
aio means All In One : the same codec files, but you don't have to know what you exactly need.
[MX Player] Wacky2bakky:
MX Player Pro 1.35.9 has been released and it uses codec 1.35.0
[MX Player] Sid32:
Think thats beta release. But codecs below https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1cOHQ70J9vlSUVMMG1MSHFXbTQ
[MX Player] pasha.mcr:
This is the official release of the player https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/download

All these codecs are outdated, including the newest 1.35, you can easily verify this by looking at the version, for example, of the decoder in the USBhost sources (it uses the sources provided by the MXPlayer developers) https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpeg/blob/master/ffmpeg/JNI/ffmpeg/libavcodec/version.h

#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MAJOR 58
#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MINOR 76
#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MICRO 100

and now let's see when the version change occurred:

therefore, the custom codec is at least one year old, and only the version number changes in it: 32, 35, etc. + minor edits from mx authors + link to new libmxutil.so

Since then, there have been many changes in ffmpeg, including the adaptation of some decoders to arm64, but alas, the mx authors are messing around.

[MX Player] x2k13:
In other words, codec is outdated and all trouble caused by it is due to obsolete code. Nice find!
[MX Player] oldman20:
So what can we do? Still using code 1.35?
[MX Player] Sid32:
Keep using to someone here posts an updated version.
[MX Player] oldman20:
1.3.5 isnt latest update?!
[MX Player] recs.dj:
First of all, thanks for custom codecs, otherwise MX player would be unuseable.

Secondly, there's a known bug in ffmpeg which causes central channel (mostly speech) to be shifted to the right speaker. As ffmpeg is the basis for MX custom codecs, this makes it really annoying to watch 6.1 movies with HW+ codec (cannot use HW codec due to unsolved 200-300 ms sound delay in MX).

Full bug description is here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffmpeg/comments/j0emwd

ffmpeg patch here:

https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/f4eb2464-7096-172b-64cf-f16fb4631046@gmail.com/mbox/

Anyone would be able to pull new ffmpeg version, patch it and re-pack the codecs? I've been trying to do it myself whole morning, but with 0 experience of compiling for Android, so far i'm failing... Your help would be greatly appreciated and I'm ready to donate $$ for the cause.
[MX Player] Markk820:
Hi, i‘ve a sony android tv 9 X900H (2020) connected in ARC(earc) to yamaha v585 receiver (support all audio codec atmos included) i installed the latest version of MX player and relative audio codec but doesn’t works doesn’t recognize any audio surround NO ac3 no dts nothing! only stereo 2.0….audio PASSTHROUGH is active on tv an mx settings….is there a chance to get almost ac3/dts recognized in my tv With mx? I need a particular version of mx/codec to work?? Thanks
[MX Player] dimuthu7:
How can i get zoom & drag feature only in mx can zoom cannot drag up down.so its not zooming the picture which i want
[MX Player] voske15:
wouldn't it be better to add ffmpeg to system codec then, it would be plug n play
[MX Player] Wacky2bakky:
MX Player Pro 1.36.10 is now available.
[MX Player] AraldoL:
Could you please replace your insane too large picture by a small(!!) version? Or was it a variant for semi-blind people? o_O
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Updated to 1.36.11 and custom codec which worked with build .10 is out of date. Any solution?
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
What do you mean with 'out of date' ?

It still works, doesn't it ?
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Nope. When I launched the player I get the custom codec is out of date message
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
It's strange. I will check, but I thought that I was using this version (1.36.11) with 1.35.0 codec version. Coming back later.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
I confirm that I use 1.36.11 free version of MX Player with 1.35.0 codec version.

If you know which version of codec complies with MX Player Pro (from the out of date message), perhaps you could try to rename 1.35.0 codec version.
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Could you share the one you are using?
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
The difference between you and me doesn't come from the codec file, but from the fact that I use the free MX Player and you use MX Player Pro (with the same number version 1.36.11). It seems that the free MX Player works with 1.35.0 codec version and MX Player Pro doesn't. What is the out of date message that you get when you try to use 1.35.0 codec version in your parameters ?
[MX Player] x2k13:
I'm on MX Pro 1.36.11 with libffmpeg.mx.so.neon.1.35, no error message/player claiming codec being outdated
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
@x2k13 : It can depend also on the device.​

@kokoronikui : What is the 'out of date' message that you get ?​
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Getting this message when I try to load it
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Maybe you could try to rename your codec file replacing '1.35.0' by 'null'.
[MX Player] rsngfrce:
I am using a pro version above 1.37 and have no problem with the 1.35 codec. Are you sure you are properly loading the neon64 version?
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
I am using 1.38.1 and cutom codec is working properly.
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
How should I rename it?

libffmpeg.mx.so.neon64.null ?
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Yes, give it a try.
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Anyone else here using the play store version of Mx player pro 1.36.11 can confirm that the 1.35.0 custom codec is working?
[MX Player] Sid32:
Mine are working.
[MX Player] ImFilippo:
Working too.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Did you try to uninstall, reboot and reinstall ?
[MX Player] Sid32:
Or deleting the codec, well moving them somewhere else abd downloading them again?
[MX Player] Meteormatic:
I'm right there with you, i'm using the same version of MX player pro and tried everything to get the 1.35.0 custom codec working, but failed to do so.

- Tried with the "aio" zip

- Tried with the "ARMv7" zip specifically

- Tried removing the .zip file entirely and re-downloading it to different directory

Nothing worked.. :cry:
[MX Player] Sid32:
Whats the error? What if its unzippped?
[MX Player] Meteormatic:
I don't get an error while adding it.

However, after i add it, I don't have the HW+ option, like i used to have with the codec.

And when i select the HW option, i get some error (can't remember exactly what it was saying and can't check.. im not home at the moment) so i can only use SW. Basically, the behaviour is the same as it is with the default codec.

Didn't have these issues when we were all using the 1.25 version of the codec
[MX Player] rsngfrce:
There seems to be different versions of the codecs floating around. This is the version of Neon64 (ARM V8) that I am using and is still working with the latest MX Player I have reached (if there isn't an issue with me posting this).
[MX Player] Meteormatic:
I'm using MiBoxS, therefore i need ARMv7 codec instead. If someone has a working one, please share it 😅

(for MX Player Pro 1.36.11)

Update:

Finally got it working, don't know why i didn't try this in the first place. I just used the actual file.. unzipped, the one specific for Armv7 neon.

Hope someone will find this useful
[MX Player] Uves:
I also had the same problem. You just need to download libffmpeg.mx.so.neon.1.35.0

And rename it this way libffmpeg.mx.so.neon.null

I renamed it in ES files explorer. It's working now. Hope it would work for you too.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Good ! It's what I proposed to kokorunikui.

Pleased to know that it can work.
[MX Player] Uves:
Yes

[MX Player] MemoryController:
Works great on GT-I9505G :)
[MX Player] BigMani:
Unfortunately it is not working on GT-I9505 (Galaxy S4). I'm using Arm_v7_Neon_v1.7.20 as proposed but it cannot load the custom codec.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's working fine for me & another user who uses the same device.

Have you followed the instructions?

Most of the people won't read the instructions and try to load .zip file.

"First extract the libffmpeg.mx.so file from the zip file. Then load the same."

If you are doing so, check the version of your player. Old versions are not compatible with the latest codec v1.7.20.
[MX Player] media2368:
Hi KTSamy,

May I know where can I download the custom codec for v1.7.18? Thank you.
[MX Player] nguyenquoctrong:
good....................
[MX Player] johhn:
so I downloaded the latest 1.7.20 for nexus 5 and it works well.

however, I got some problems with playing an mkv hd video with ac3 as sound codec. there's no sound when playing.

anyone can advice what to do about that please?

cheers.
[MX Player] hanwei1986:
THANKS,will try it!
[MX Player] KEYofR:
The download option in the settings menu in mx player pro brings me to post #1 of this thread. But I can't find any download link there.

All 3 (app, codec, this thread) changed at the same time, so, they should match up. Either there should be a download link in this thread or the app should not point to this thread.

-edit/update-

Found it, hidden by a "click to show content" button.

Damned post has 18 different colors, font sizes, underlines, bolds etc. When you try to make everything stand out, you make nothing stand out.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Download Links or Hidden. Click on Show Button in Instructions area ( if you are from Tapatalk, click on Spoiler button)

You will get download links.
[MX Player] KEYofR:
Just not my day I guess. Arm_v7_Neon_v1.7.20 does not work on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2. After downloading and unpacking the zip, selecting the new .so in mx player pro, the app says the codec is out of date and crashes, then reverts to standard decoder on restart. I repeated all the steps twice. Once I used ES Downloader to download, once I used Chrome browser. Both times ES Explorer opened the zip with no errors. I've been using the hardware decoders with no problem for a while. I was using 1.7.19 just recently. So I know Arm v7 Neon is the correct one. (I just forgot about the hidded download link)
[MX Player] KEYofR:
I AM using 1.7.20, as I said right there.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Then you are making some mistakes in loading the codec. I am personally using neon codec. There's no problem.

First check the md5 value of the downloaded zip file. If it's different then downloaded file is incomplete.

If it is matching, Then can you attach the screenshot of error message?
[MX Player] Wacky2bakky:
I see MX Player Pro updated to version 1.39.13 today. Wonder which codecs it will need.....
[MX Player] dongfangri:
V1.35 still works.
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Play store released the official pro version?
[MX Player] x2k13:
Yes
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Still don't see the update yet. Slower in my region I assume
[MX Player] Wacky2bakky:
So the 1.35.0 codec works with this new version?
[MX Player] Sid32:
1.35.0 is working on the new update for me.
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Yes, It does. But for some reason my region is still not showing the updated version from the play store so I had to get it from their website. Do you mind sharing the changelog for 1.39.13 pro?
[MX Player] oldman20:
hello, im using Note9 arm64 so i just need only mx_neon64.zip or include libffmpeg.mx.so.neon64.1.35.0? How to install them?
[MX Player] x2k13:
- This update brings you the support for USB OTG devices (FAT32 only)

- Support for casting of all media formats

- Support AI subtitle translation

- MX Share now supports sharing files from other apps

- Speed Controls in Local Video Player now supports direct inputs from the keyboard.
[MX Player] Wacky2bakky:
Any specific reasons I should go ahead and update from v.1

36.11?
[MX Player] bodushki:

Which exactly i cant see for version 1.39.13
[MX Player] kokoronikui:
Yes it's for an older version but it works
[MX Player] oldman20:
any help!?
[MX Player] Z23:
In normal cases you just need the zip file. Download it, go to settings / decoder. Then just select custom codec and point to the file. Do not delete file afterwards.
[MX Player] oldman20:
thank! No need libffmpeg.mx.so.neon64.1.35.0?

[MX Player] tsiftsism:
Has any of you met a problem where an .mkv file can't be played with MX Player?

When the video starts you hear a sound like the old modems did when they were trying to connect to internet back in '00s, the picture starts and stops playing and after some seconds the player closes.

The same time the video plays as it should be when starting it with VLC Player or Kodi. It appears to be no problem with the .mkv file.

For the record I have met this issue with the 1080p version of the Yellowstone TV series, and I'm using 1.38.1 version with ARMv7 NEON, custom codec 1.35.0 on Mi Box S.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Try to fix (rebuild) the mkv container using MKVToolNix and look at the audio codec (inside the mkv container).
[MX Player] tsiftsism:
Sorry for asking, but why should I do something like this?

Since other players can play the .mkv, doesn't that mean that it's MX Player's issue?
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Each player may accept some errors in media files (with different level of errors for each player). As you can't play the media with MX Player, you can try to fix the media file. It's quick and easy. And you can keep a copy of your current file. Give it a try if you want.
[MX Player] bazylek78:
Hello everyone. If the codec does not work with the current application compilation, please try to change the codec name to 1.41.2 - it works for me
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
Mx player updated to 1.41.4 and now custom codec out of date.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
When you try to load the 1.35.0 codec file in the parameters, what is the answer ? Is there a specific codec version required ?
[MX Player] TotallyAnxious:
Rename

Just replying since no one currently posting seems to be searching this thread for the possible codec fix (encouraging people to search more)

Haven't tested because I use pro version of app
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
You need to rename the file as it is required when you try to load the codec file in the parameters (it can be 'null' or another number of version).
[MX Player] gdpvk:
Yes it asks to update to 1.41.2 armv8 neon codec
[MX Player] TotallyAnxious:
Probably means there are changes requiring a newly built codec.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Try to rename the codec file (replace 1.35.0 by 1.41.2).
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
A new codec has also been released at https://github.com/iDNA420/MX-FFmpeg/releases
[MX Player] TotallyAnxious:
I confirmed this to put it rest. Was unclear if people had actually tried. But still works with latest non pro mx player.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Please note that you can find the codec files here :

FFmpeg is udpated to 4.3.0 version.

You can also rename newer codecs to use with older mx player builds, like the pro version which updates less often.

Of course you might run into issues eventually but works for me. I only use mx player on my shield

[MX Player] oroboros74:
No, the problem was the neon file in your aio was not named correctly. You forgot .2 as the extension.

You may want to fix that so everyone can use your AIO. Thanks again for your efforts!

MXPlayer can't find custome codec file. Actually MXPlayer file browser doesn't show any file but just empty directories/folders. I've been updating EAC3 custom codecs for MX successfully many times before on my Nvidia Shield and everything was going well. I guess this problem occur after Shield 9.0 update.

Has someone came accross with such issue?

How to use v1.41.2 in pro v1.39.13
[MX Player] pasha.mcr:
Why do you need this? The codec 1.41.2 added usb support, as well as the mp3 lame encoder, everything else is the same as in the previous version of the codec, based on the old version of ffmpeg Mar 2020 https://xdaforums.com/t/mx-player-custom-codec-ac3-dts-mlp-truehd-etc.2156254/post-85085901
