Thank you for your answer, Ktsamy, and thank you for working on the DTS codec and the support you give here.

I fully understand your reason, by no means I intended to be disrespectful for all the developers' work and I know dealing with codes is not an easy task. However, there is always a BUT: MX Player Pro, like many other applications, is not free. By paying the price for the application, me and all the users, we showed the developer our gratitude for his work and I am sure you agree, it is not outrageous to expect a proper support. There were many paid applications that required updates for Android L, and their developers were somewhat faster. Additionally, some other paid players like BS Player worked since day one on Lollipop and, as little as I know, their algorithms aren't day and night different from MX Player's. Everytime Android gets updated, even with minor bugfixes, MX Player is the only application that is not working (the infamous "android version not supported").

Again, I really appreciate everyone's work, but I would like to think those things pointed out here are not hateful comments, but helpful feedback for improving MX Player's support.

I have uploaded a video here, unfortunately I don't have right now the possibility to cut it for a smaller sample. Hope it helps!

Thanks again!

Unable to download from google drive. It shows download button with Maximum allowed playback exceeded error. If click on download button it shows 404 not found.

Here is the little more explanation from my side regarding ther error:

In fact MX Player doesn't check for android versions.

MX Player uses many android internal modules to boost the performance. That's why it's performance is better than others. But, most of the other players fully depends on ffmpeg.

Whenever google make some changes to the internal modules, it break the compatibility with mx player. MX Player checks the compatibility at the start up to avoid any issues. If anything found incompatibile it will revert with error. It looks like others don't have such measures. You will come to know the issues when you start using.

I think many people releasing the even partially fixed builds in the google play. BS has released a update on 27th oct. (I am not sure it's bs hardware mode (not system) is working fine with lollipop since google source codes were not available at the time of release).

When it comes to MX, partially fixed builds are released in it's test page & forum to avoid issues (eg: on 29th oct with L final preview support except H/W+).

The last Nightly could have landed directly on playstore since it's fully compatible. But, some minor bugs on newly implemented features are to be addressed. Hope it will be rolled out in few days...!!
[MX Player] whise1:
What about the 1.8 version with buffering improvements? Any ideia when it will be available?

Thanks.
[MX Player] Mihai B:
Try it now, please! Here or here!

I converted to mp4, but the stutter is there and visible when played with MX Player Pro nightly build.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Are you talking about the frame drop in between 1-2 sec?

If it is so, I can reproduce on my S5 with Android 4.4.2

But, This issue is not from the latest nightly. I have tested 1.7.31 as well. The same thing happens over there.

Anyhow I have forwarded the video to the developer.
[MX Player] Mihai B:
Yes, I am talking about the frame drop that induces a stutter from time to time. As far as I remember, there were none in the previous build (1.73.1) on my nexus 7 running stock Android 4.4.4. But please, don't take me for granted. The problem is not only specific to that particular video, but for any HD mkv I am playing.

Thank you for forwarding the video to the developer and for your help!
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
If you didn't had such issues earlier, what I have noticed mightbe a different one.

What about H/W decoder ?

Is there any framedrops?

Both H/W and H/W+ uses the same internal codecs, but in different way.
[MX Player] Mihai B:
HW decoder has framedrops, not as many as HW+, but still very noticeable. However, with HW I can only use sw sound processing. The operating system is very clean, I don't use many apps, no other codec except yours, no things like Facebook to work in background, only legible bought applications from play store. BS player Pro seems to play the same file without those issues, or hardly noticeable. Mx player pro 1.7.31.on kitkat hadn't those framedrops.

[MENTION=4258555]ktsamy[/MENTION] my device is tf101 tegra 2 non-neon and i have installed mx pro and downloaded tegra 2 codec, however when i launch mx player is says that i have no codec install and gives me two options, either 'cancel' or 'ok'. Clicking cancel just closes off mx player and clicking ok open play store to download play store codec version. Is there an alternate way to install the custom codec than mentioned in your op
[MX Player] scarywoody:
Hi I am kind of a moron with this stuff. I had MX Player working with android 4.4 on my Nvidia Shield tablet and I just upgraded to Lollipop. I downloaded the most recent nightly build and the Neon.KTS.1.7.32.20141114.zip codec. When i go to seleect the codec I get the message "Cannot find custom codec for this version. Please use version 1.7.32 custom codec". Is their a different codec I should be trying to use? thanks :)

Edit: File used for mx player listed as videoplayer_ad__1_7_32_neon_direct_nightly.apk.

Been using MX Player Pro for some time now so pleased to see updated to run on 5.0. However when i try to use h/w or h/w+ decoding it states that it is not supported. I'm using a Nexus 7 2013 & it worked before on Kitkat. Is this just a bug with this update on Lollipop?

Nexus 9 - can't install 1.7.32

Hi,

Thank you very much for releasing the new version. Unfortunately it doesn't install on my Nexus 9. If I try to install the version from the app store, it stops with unknown error code - 504. If I try to install from the apk (from the link on your home page) it tries and ends with "app not installed".

The previous nightly build was working fine. I need to mention that my Nexus 9 has just been updated (OTA) to LRX21R.

Thank you.

mxplayer 1_7_32

Hi, I installed new version in liquidsmooth lollipop.

mxplayer tries to download old codec on first run.

I manually installed ffmpeg-tegra2-codec-v7_1_7_31 and now I get unsupported android version error.

any hints? Do I need a version tegra2-1_7_32 ? cant see it anywhere?

edit: I see its been updated, trying it now thanks..

edit2: after the player saying wrong version, codec wrong/mismatch version..

it downloaded correct version... with "ad" in its name.. so I presume thats so you can give us adds? thanks.

edit3: there were no prompts to say "pro" version or buy?

So after about 6 downloads and manually installing them all its working fine. thanks.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
6 downloads?

From the beginning free version is ad supported while pro version is ad-free. If you have purchased through Google Play or Website, you can use pro. Otherwise it will revert with error.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
This is Google Play error.

Kindly uninstall & reinstall from Google Play.

Can you post the mediainfo?

H/W decoder uses you devices native codecs. All videos can't be played in H/W.

If supported decoder is not available, it can't be playerd in H/W decoder.
[MX Player] thanhvudev:
Needs improve audio. Video is good now.;)
[MX Player] Si73:
Thanks for your reply but it seems to be playing fine now (H/W and H/W+). I just wiped the cache and dalvik cache in recovery. Should of tried that in the first place!!

Been using this Player for ages and would feel lost without it.

Many thanks
[MX Player] Mihai B:
For me is almost unusable: every high quality mkv stutters like hell, skipping frames and being choppy. I wiped cache partition, tried a fresh install of the official Android 5.0 image for Nexus 7 2013, no luck. Sw mode, however, plays the files smoothly.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
In which decoder?

Have you tried on H/W decoder (not H/W+)?
[MX Player] Mihai B:
HW+ decoder, HW is not supported, this is what mx player says when I try to select HW. FYI, Archos plays everything smooth, so it's definitely something with mx player.

I am starting to get sick of all these problems. Stutter is a constant problem for high quality mkvs with mx player, even with fast devices.
[MX Player] scarywoody:
Honestly not a fan so far. Never had an issue with 4.4, but now a couple times a day am getting apps not responding and everything seems slower. When I hit the home or menu button there is a noticeable delay. Hopefully these get ironed out with updates.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Nexus 7 2013 is supposed to play full HD videos in H/W decoder. Can you try it in stock? If it can play, MX Player is supposed to play in H/W

Looks like something is broken on system decoder configuration.
[MX Player] Mihai B:
The first file (the Americans) will play in HW decoder and in stock player, while the second (in a world) does not. There is some stuttering, but not so pronounced than the one in HW+.

I have attached the files' properties for you to see.
[MX Player] foosion:
There are posts on various forums that Google pulled the Lollipop OTA for the N7 2013, likely due to video problems. OTOH, I haven't seen a statement from google and the 5.0 files are still on google's servers.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Search on Google. There are "n" number of issues reported about video lag.

It's a shame that nexus 7 can't play many 720p videos in stock player.

Looks like a android bug.

Here is the solution provided by Android Police:

Open the Developer Options section of the Settings menu (enable this by tapping the build number repeatedly)

Then disable or enable the "Use NuPlayer (experimental)" option.

Reboot and give it another try.

You can also try wiping the device cache from recovery.
[MX Player] Mihai B:
Thanks for the tip, I will try it, but I don't know how this is going to solve the problem with the stutter in mx player. I don't need to use stock player, but mx player.

As I previously wrote, erasing the cache didn't help.

Later edit: I flashed back stock image for kitkat (4.4.4), everything works like a charm, videos that were stuttering in lollipop play smooth now. Stay away from lollipop until Google fixes those problems. It's a shame they pushed such an unfinished product to consumers.

CM12 is in nightly stage. It's far away from even beta version.

MX Player H/W+ depends on android media work. So, any changes to the framework may lead to issue on H/W+

If something is not working in H/W decoder, test your self with Stock Video Player. H/W uses android's mediaplayer interface. So, most of the issues from H/W decoder are from ROM itself.

I have updated my Nexus 7 to 5.0.2. Now when I try to lock the screen (not bring up lock screen, just block the touch controls), Android's lower bar remains on the screen, just without the buttons.

You can backup and restore kernels as well

Nothing more to say.

If your device is not supported ask your kernel dev to add support for the app

Nice app you've done there.

Gonna add the Xperia Z2 and my Custom Kernel if it is ok :P

Altough, do you think it is possible to add a selfupdating part there so that if I update my kernel you don't need to update the app again ? Cause else I think once there are more devs using this app it will be a update mess.

Edit: Never mind, I did not saw that the file gets called from my sources so I need to update it.

Oh and as I want to keep track of everything: Maybe a download counter :P ?
