Hello, on an HTC one m7 stock lollipop rom i can't find the option "Alternative HW+ decoder, on the latest Google Play version.

On a Sony Xperia z5c instead, the option is available.

Why?

I'd like to try it for some videos that stutter.

in 1.8.7 version changelog i found:

Added alternative HW+ decoder for Android 5.0 and above which will be used automatically on Android 7, HTC devices and CyanogenMod

thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hi,

The alternative HW+ decoder uses old HW+ acceleration method. In newer android versions, direct access to many system libs is restricted. So, It will not work on newer android versions. HTC devices & CyanogenMod ROMs have customised android media framework. So, Old HW+ decoder will not work properly.

Only Android 5.0 - 6.0.1 can support both old & new HW+ engines. So, Only they will have the option to switch between old & new (Except HTC & CM Roms).
[MX Player] ninestarkoko:
Thanks for the detailed reply but I'm not sure I understood.

Indeed I am on Lollipop (5.0)android version on an HTC phone. You wrote that newer versions can't support old Hw+ engine but then you wrote that only newer versions can support both... Sorry, can you explain more clearly?

Thank you

Buffer size for nerwork playback.

I am using Mx Player Pro on my mi box 3 device (android Tv 6.0) for online video playback. I always meet a problem with buffer size. If I pause video, player stops to buffer it and server brakes connection. So it requires to restart playback and find last video position after pause. Could developer plaese to add setting to be able to specify a custom buffer size? Either could somebody to advise how to fix the issue?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
HW decoder buffer is automatically handled by the system itself. It basically uses android media player API.

HW+ decoder & SW decoder buffer sizes are handled by the MX Player. Can you explain in which decoder you are having the issues?
[MX Player] avd-vlad:
I used HW+ decoder and had described issue. I'll also check with other decoders.

I did check for other renders. For HW the issue is not actual. It is working well with HW. But for HW+ and SW it works as I described above. Is it possible to specify buffer size somewhere?

Question:

I'm watching a series. Each episode has dual audio. I want the audio to always default to Japanese. But everytime the next episode starts it goes back to English audio. How do I make it remember my last audio setting?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
If the audio track has a language tag, then it's possible through Settings » Audio » Preferred audio language.

If there is no language tag, there is no way to select the particular audio track. MX Player will play the track which has default flag.
[MX Player] RelQM:
I can't find Japanese on that setting.

Lost Renamed Videos

Hi good day..i have this issue,

i had a couple of videos which i renamed in MX Player, then suddenly the videos were gone and i cannot locate it anywhere on my smartphone..

i searched thoroughly,.

i tried renaming a video on my file explorer and the video remained on MX player when i opened the app..

please help me..

thank you..
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
MX Player uses standard methods for file operations. Probably your device some issues with media database.

Android stores the list of media files in media store. If you delete any file through external apps, it supposed to be removed from the media store as well. If it's being used by any other app, The file entry will be removed. But, the file will remain on the file system till the process accessing the file stops accessing the file.

AAC Pass Through

Hi,

I am using the PREFERRED PASS THROUGH setting of the MX Player; I let my external amp (AVR) process the audio to 5.1 channels.

My external amp can decode 5.1 channels of DD, DTS, and AAC (as per user manual).

However, only DD and DTS are decoded to 5.1 channels by my external amp. AAC 5.1 only outputs in STEREO.

Problem is most of my movie files (audio stream) are encoded in AAC 5.1. What could be the problem? How do I solve it?

Thanks in advance!

Reversing the sort order

Hello there!

I would like to sort by name, not A to Z, but Z to A.

I did not find an option to revert the sort order.

Please, advise if such functionality exists or if not, please, implement it, should be pretty simple to do.

Otherwise, the best player out there. I don't buy apps usually, but bought this one to get rid of the ads...

[MX Player] patriotringo:
Hi,

I absolutely love this player, I find when I'm streaming 720/1080p video over WIFI, that it'll play great for a bit and then get all jittery/sluggish. I determined this is related to the buffering because if I then hit pause, wait for 10-15 seconds and play again, it'll be perfect again until it catches up with the buffer again. Is there anyway to increase or full buffering to makes these hiccups less?
[MX Player] gururoop:
It is attached below. Hope you guys find the solution soon so that I can start enjoying my favorite player on Android P.
[MX Player] Gregzi:
Confirmed.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Looks like, It's caused by the new restriction implemented on N Preview.

Our developers are already looking into it. It may take some more time as it needs to be reviewed very carefully..
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
not all videos are same. There are multiple factors which affect the performance (like Codec, Profile, Bitrate, Frame Rate, Resolution,etc.,).

HW & HW+ will be fine most of the time. In HW+ there can be some lagging when a video with the unsupported profile is played.

If you are playing in SW decoder, then it may lag when the CPU is not powerful enough to handle the decoding.

You have no permission to perform this action on opensubtitles.org

Hello

I just got Nokia 8 and I was watching movie and series and it working fine and suddenly today when I was "Star Wars" it didn't have any subtitles so I decided to download it when I clicked online subtitles it says I don't have any permission to perform this action on opensubtitles.org

I searched about it it said I have to make an account I did that and logged in but now it shows there is no subtitles available while in the website there hundreds of it

Please help me

P.s. couple of days ago I downloaded custom pack for all kind of audio for decoder to play
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Have tried manually by specifying the keywords? In most of the cases, It's not possible to get the movie name by file name. So, If you do not specify, MX Player will try to get the subtitles by video hash. As a result, even if there are so many subtitles on the website, You will get only subtitles that match with the file hash. And another factor is language. MX Player searches for the subtitles with the specified language. So, it may not give the expected results when there are no subtitles in preferred languages.

If the problem persists,

Open MX Player Settings > Development & enable "Log opensubtitle.org operations".

Then reproduce the issue & immediately goto menu > help > bug report. Save the bug report & share here.

Can someone explain what the different colors of the filenames mean.... i.e. - grey, blue, white?

Seems Blue is the current file or last file played. Are the Grey files the files already played and the white ones the files that havent been played yet. Im confused. Ive tried the reload/refresh button at the top but it doesnt seem to do anything.

[MX Player] CSWDSTSO:
I've been having an issue lately. I have videos I recorded off of VLC Player on my PC and uploaded to my Drive account. I downloaded them to my phone, a LG V10. Under Properties, the format is listed as "MPEG-PS". Originally they just worked on MX Player. Then at some point they started being "not supported", so I had to download some custom codec thing. That fixed it. Then a while later, it stopped being supported again, so I had to download that aio custom codec. That made it work again. Then just a couple days ago, I got my current issue: I can play the videos, but can't zoom, pan, change the aspect ratio. The bottom right button that controls these functions, as well as the touch screen buttons, just do nothing. The videos are stuck in a stretched out aspect ratio while vertical, but normal while horizontal.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:

It's not relevant to codecs. does it happen with all videos? Can you just reset the settings of MX Player & check again? If the problem persists, kindly collect a bug report immediately after reproducing the issue & share with us. It will help us to understand the issue better.

I used Automate (quite similar to Tasker on xda) to send an intent but stuck at Extras part since it's Dictionary type while MX Player takes "headers" as String type. Otherwise, with non-referer url, it worked perfectly.

SBS Subtitle request

Hi,

i don't know if is it the right place to post a request sorry for this... Like the title i search in this forum but i can't find nothing to see subtitle with a google cardboard (or similar) when i watch a 3d movie (side by side for instance). Mx Player only show normal subtitle in the center of the screen but for the 3d films the subtitle need to split in the two half of the screen. Probably this request it's already done before but i can't find... If there is no possibility to do that i suggest to implement it! :p

Apparent bug: "MX Player Pro" for Android (current version) seems to have a brightness bug: it sets brightness to a medium value, and swiping up/down on the left side of the screen adjust the volume, NOT the brightness. (The right side of the screen also adjusts volume.)

In "MX Player" (non-"Pro" version), this brightness feature is working (swipe up/down on left side adjusts brightness).

Known problem? Any pointers to a fix?

Hello, i installed my beloved MX Player Pro on my new Samsung Galaxy S9 today and noticed Androids Automatic Brightness does not work for me. As soon the App starts the screen gets very bright (not only while the player is open, even in the file list)

Enabling/Disabling the brightness control in the "Player > Screen" options menu does nothing for me, maybe i'm missing something or i'm doing something wrong but i would really appreciate help to fix this Problem. :)

Sudden problem with network stream

I'm running v1.7.4 and v.1.8.6 (I know, they're old, etc., but these versions perform better on these hardwares than current version). No custom codecs installed.

Devices:

LG Optimus Zone 2, KitKat (rooted) v.1.7.4

Nook Tablet-8GB, CM 11 v.1.8.6

Nook Tablet-16GB, AOSP 7.0 v.1.8.6 <--this is the one not working any longer

I occasionally use MX Player to watch live news streams. No problem there. Each device and version handles the streams a little differently. They all work, regardless, or they did until I had to make a minor update to one of the stream URLs (just a login ID number). It may be that when the URL changed there was also some change in the audio or video format. Here's what it shows for each (currently working) device:

v.1.7.4: Video codec=H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 AVC/MGEG-4 part 10 Audio codec=AAC [both HW &SW decoders work, audio is HW]

v.1.8.6: same as above [only HW+ or SW decoders work for video, audio is HW]

Media Format is reported as "Apple HTTP Live Streaming"

It's the Nook Tablet running AOSP 7.0 and v.1.8.6 that has suddenly refused to deal with this stream ("Can't play this link"). There are no HW+ options available in "Settings" (weird....the 8 GB and 16 GB Nook Tablets seem to have different audio systems--or maybe it's the ROMs) and I've tried to force the SW decoder for network streams, but it doesn't help.

I've tried installing a custom codec package. No help. I've tried updating to the current PlayStore version with and without a custom codec. No help. Thinking that something in the stream format has changed to make it somehow not work with this specific hardware, I temporarily installed VLC. It was able to play the same stream URL without any problem!

What else should I try?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
