Sorry for the trouble guys, MX player is perfectly fine. I did a little bit of digging myself and came to the conclusion that the issue is with the OxygenOS and my customized DPI settings.

Any OnePlus user on Oxygen OS will face this issue if he tried to change his dpi settings. Now the solution :

In OxygenOS you can change your DPI by either adding a new key ro.sf.lcd_density using build.prop editor or by using adb/terminal emulator to change the dpi using "wm density".

None of the methods work flawlessly if used alone, the former won't do much and the latter will cause many third party apps to behave unexpectedly.

The solution to correctly change dpi in OxygenOS is by first using the "wm density xxx" to change the dpi, then reboot for the changes to take effect. Then go on and add the "ro.sf.lcd_ density xxx" in build.prop, 'xxx' being the desired lcd density/dpi you need. Reboot again for the changes to take effect.

Voila! No more issues due to dpi chances. Apologizing again for the trouble and thanks again for the help. Peace out.

Hey guys!

Can I stream files with MX Player directly using UNC Path, e.g. \\NAS\HD\Movie\Movie.mkv or does the link needs to be served by another app like Solid Explorer ?

Thanks for clarification!
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
MX Player doesn't have native SMB client as of now. So, It won't work until or unless there is some other client app which will run as a localhost.

[shield android tv]

hi guys, is there a setting to auto adjust framerate I didn't find sofar? i'd really love to use mx player instead of clumsy kodi/smpc, plex, archos player..., witch are all auto switching great, as i must admit
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
What do you mean by auto adjust frame rate...?
[MX Player] holzbank:
oh sorry, if i'm not clear, i mean the ability of the player to auto change the TV refresh rate (Hz) to match the video (FPS)
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I couldn't find any settings on VLC to control display frequency. After bit analyzing it seems that Android automatically do the same based on frame buffer.

Do you see any visible advantages over VLC playback...?
[MX Player] holzbank:
i don't think vlc is capable of changing TV refresh rates either

below settings screens of both kodi / spmc and archos player, I'd really love to see this option in mx player as well :angel::angel:

kodi/spmc >> up.picr.de/26647725zr.jpg

archos player >> up.picr.de/26647800by.jpg
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
My question is that it's usually adjusted automatically by system. Do You get any visible advantages in playback?

[MX Player] ZChuckMoris:
I use MX Player (android) in Sony Xperia Z Ultra LTE (C6833). I recently tried playing a serial in MX Player through OTG. The format is MKV and the files are not bilingual.

The video plays fine but is in Spanish language.

I have a Russian language audio in ac3 format separately.

While playing the video, is there any way I can load Russian audio?

A huge amount of serials in Russia can't be downloaded in 1080p with internal Russian audio. The only way in such situations - download video with external audio file.

PS: I played the same videos in my Windows desktop using MPC-BE. It loads Russian audio file automatically. Hope there is an option in android app to do it, at least, manually.

Mx Player Zoom

Hey,

Is it possible to zoom in to an exact position in a video instead of enlarging the whole video? Like zooming in on a picture on your phone you can navigate to the right or the left and zoom in where you want.

If I stretch with my fingers everything gets bigger, but I want to zoom to a position on the right which is not visible anymore if I use the normal zoom.

Please help. Thanks.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Goto Settings > Player > Controls

Enable Plan & Zoom.

Now you can zoom by two fingers as usual. After zooming leave one finger & use another to pan to the desired portion.

If you want to adjust the position without zooming, use two fingers & hold for a while. You can drag the window by swiping both fingers.

Hello.

I'm trying the search function but it seems buggy ATM...

I'm trying to analyze a database on a cellphone that has MX Player.

In that video.db i can see lots of files that seemed to have been viewed. I need help understanding exactly how this database works and the meaning of certain rows.

Can i rely on the information given by the column "Last Watch Time" to say when the video was last watched? i have a streak of about 20 videos that were watched within 15 minutes. (All videos range from seconds to 15-20 minutes duration, and all the entries are "watched" with only seconds, sometimes a couple of minutes of difference ). Does this mean he opened each video without watching them completely?

Also, the "Finish Time" is sometimes the same date/time as the "Last watch time", and most often at a previous (older) date. Is the finish time the time the file was finished downloading? or finished viewing?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
AFAIK, Time is basically entered in milliseconds. For example 00:01:01.500 seconds will be entered as 61500.

Position is just the video duration in which you have paused/closed. It's used to resume function.

Regarding Time stamp of last watched & finished it's a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds (i.e time since 1-Jan-1970). Last watched stands for the time when you have played the video. Last Finished stands for the time when you have watched the video completely.

MX Player 1.8.6

on my htc m9 phone, stock Android 6 software, I'm not getting the HW+ decoder option.

tried both with standard & custom (AC3) codec.

I read the faq that talks about a list of supported devices for HW+. Couldn't find said list.

I read something that HW+ is currently broken in Android N. But I'm on (stock) Android M. So, yeah, confused.

thx
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
According to the information received from the developer, current HW+ implementation crashes on HTC devices with Marshmallow. That's why it's intentionally disabled. The next version of the MX Player will ship with new HW+ for Android 5.0+. So, you will get the HW+ again. Just wait for the next update.
[MX Player] Heihachi28:

[MX Player] sebi707:
After upgrading from a Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5X I'm having playback issues with some videos. The video is playing fine, but audio is just stuttering all the time. The problem seems to be only with the audio track as reencoding the audio track to MP3 (using ffmpeg -i in.wmv -c:a libmp3lame -c:v copy out.wmv) solves the problem. The problematic video files are WMV files with 5.1 WMA audio tracks:

Audio
ID : 1
Format : WMA
Format profile : Pro
Codec ID : 162
Codec ID/Info : Windows Media Audio
Description of the codec : Windows Media Audio 10 Professional - 440 kbps, 48 kHz, 5.1 channel 24 bit (A/V) 1-pass CBR
Duration : 7mn 50s
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 440 Kbps
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Bit depth : 24 bits
Stream size : 24.7 MiB (7%)
Language : English (US)
NumberOfFrames : 2761

I've tried using the software decoder for the audio track, but that didn't help. The same video plays fine using the VLC App, but I don't like this App. Are there any other settings I might try?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you share a sample clip...?

Hope you are in Nougat.

In which decoder...?

Have you tried HW+ & SW.
[MX Player] sebi707:
I sent you a sample clip via PM (can't post links yet).

I'm on Nougat. It's using the SW decoder to decode the video (HD or HD+ are not working) and apparently some hardware decoder for the audio. But I doubt that there is even a hardware decoder for such a unsusual format.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Many samsung devices has native vc1 support & I can play it in HW without any issue.

Regarding your issue, I can reproduce it with SW decoder or SW audio. May be a bug with ffmpeg version used in MX Player. I have forwarded the report & sample to the developer. Hope it will be fixed on next update.
[MX Player] sebi707:
That's good to hear. I'm looking forward to the next update.

Hi. Guy`s

Can MX Player show the frame-rate, drop frames ect while playing back video`s ?? If it can how do i enable it ??

I have 2 Android TV boxes with the RK3229 cpu (kitkat v4.4.4) that can decode 10bit H.264 and H.265 supposedly.

Thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I think no such option exists at theomemt.
[MX Player] Tinderbox (UK):
I tried playing an 4k video on my TV box RK3229 kitkat v4.4.4 in HW it plays great but in HW+ and the picture froze and my android crashed/rebooted but now when i try and uninstall any programs it reboots straight away, after the reboot i try uninstall for another app, and reboot again, so on and so on.

But i found if i power off my android TV box and then turn it on again, I can uninstall apps again without a reboot, so when i get a crash/rebook is it a fast reboot that is not clearing some corrupt data that a full shutdown does? is there anyway to disable fastboot, so on a crash/reboot i get an normal boot not a quickboot.

Thanks

EDIT: It looks like on a crash i get a soft reboot not a full reboot, so some data must be leftover that is causing a reboot when i try and uninstall any apps, why this is linked to a video decoder crash i do not know.

Play multiple files with MX Player at the same time

Hey,

Is it possible to play multiple video files at the same time with mx player, one in the background and one in the foreground? I want to play a musicvideo with the background function while I am watching a video with mx player. Every time I start playing a video with mx player while a video file with audio is playing in the background., the one in the background stops. The video I want to play in the foreground has no audio.

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It may not be possible at the moment. If you open a new file, it will close the existing one & will start the new one.

But, you may use it with any other player.

If you are a pro user you may use free version as alternate too. For example play the video in free version (or any other player) & close the app to make it background. Open mx player pro to play another one in foreground.

Only thing is you have to disable Play Alone option on MX Player Settings > Player.

Hi

It seems that the last version of mxplayer pro, is 1.8.8.

But when I install the app from play store, it install mxplayer pro 1.7.0 in my new device.

and when I check for update in the app,it says it is up to date.

How can I fix this?

Thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Currently 1.8.x is available on Google Play stable channel only for devices with marshmallow & above. If you are using older android versions, either you may sign up for beta test or you can install by manually downloading it from official beta page.

According to the information from the developer, after adding some more features, 1.9.0 will be rolled out to everyone.

Why the "disable your lock screen" permission?

Check MX player permissions, click on MX player in settings/apps - things like overlay, or check display settings in MX player for auto-brightness.

John.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's not a MX Player issue actually. Android uses the brightness settings from top most app. If you have any floating widget or a invisiblr app like brightness contol or blue light filter,. it will always try to be on top. So, System will use the brightness valus of the app. Kindly disable any such app & try again.
[MX Player] Shellcreeper:
Is it possible to make Kids Lock automatically activate when a video is selected? I can't find this option and find it strange that it wouldn't be there. I basically want it so my kids can pick a music video to play in the car, but Kids Lock automatically turns on so that they can't change anything until the video is finished, otherwise they start picking and choosing through everything, which is very unpleasant to listen to.

Change buttons on lock screen (rewind/forward instead of forward/back track)

I recently bought mx pro media player and very much enjoying the background playback feature. The only problem I encountered was that when I press the unlock button and just want to pause the playback of audio I often miss the pause button and click "back track" or "forward track", which resets the time and is very annoying. Is there a way to change the buttons on the notification bar (to rewind/forward, for instance, miss-pressing which would not be critical) like in some other apps (Podcast Republic)? *Just in case: lock screen I'm talking about is the phones lock screen (when u lock the phone), not the player's.

Goto Settings > Player & disable "Smart Previous Button". Set the "Resume" to ON. It won't reset the playback status. Now even if you have accidentally touch the previous button, you may rsume the last file by simply pressing on next button.

Edit:

Resume on background mode doesn't seems to be working. I will discuss with the developer to get it fixed.
[MX Player] CH0msky:
Thanks, yeah, it does work when you're in the player, which is great, but not on lock screen. Even if this will work though, I think it still would be a nice feature to let people choose the lock screen widget's buttons (ex how it's done in Podcast Republic).

Galaxy s5, android 6.0.1 version i'm using. I can't use continuous play of similar files. Can you help me?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Probably you might be playing from File Manager or Gallery. Samsung apps doesn't forward exact file path to other apps. It works as content provider & sends the URI like content://media/video/12345. When exact file path is unknown any third party apps can't queue the other files in the same directory. If you start the video from MX Player it will automatically play all files in the directory until or unless you enable "Back to list" option in MX Player's settings.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Probably it's a ROM issue. MX Player will just follow device orientation when auto rotation is enabled.

Buying Pro version on the MX player website

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, or if I missed some button on the site. So don't be angry if I'm messing up this forum........

If I buy the MX player directly on the website, do I have to use a google mail address?

And will the download be an APK file?

I do not have a google account, and I do not want to have one.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's not necessary to have a google account. But, the account used should exist on your device account list. So, Make sure that your email client is listing you email id in device's account list.

For example if user@outlook.com is used to purchase, it should be listed on device's account list in order to validate the license.

Pro version apk is already available in website. Any one can install. When you open, it will check for the license & will run only when license is validated.

Kindly note that, in Amazon devices standard accounts management is modified. So, there is no pro version for amazon devices.

I'm running the latest beta of mx player. The problem is I can only play a smb video without its external subtitle which has the same path and filename prefix as the video. Both the video and the subtitle are in the same folder but the subtitle has srt as its suffix name. Some file manager like es file explorer does not have this problem. From the logcat, mxplayer can load the video but not the srt. Could this be fixed easily? Thanks.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
To clarify, what did you mean by "prefix"? If the filename for the video and the subs are the same, with only the extension difference of .srt, then this looks to be a bug with SMB support. MX is supposed to make a predictive request when it isn't passed the sub file from the file explorer (such as ES). May want to start a new thread on this.
[MX Player] tpuserhp:
I meant filename for the prefix. If there's a problem with SMB support, then I cannot understand why the video is loaded OK by MX, but not the sub file. Odd. Thx.

hello,

thanks for you feedback. it's nice indication.

I would like more. to explain my request you have to know I played a lot of videos all the day (around 120)in my company entrance.

i have to refresh them regularly. Currently I need to check the "add date" to the delete the old videos.

If I can have an xls with all videos and how much they have been played, it will be better.

Moreover with my request I'll know the files which are unplayable.
[MX Player] gridmuncher:
I'm using MX player on a nook HD+ which has a slightly unusual resolution (1920x1280). For some reason all videos play with an unused portion of the screen at the bottom. This happens irrespective of the aspect ratio setting (crop, stretch etc) and doesn't happen if the same videos are played in with the built in video player that comes with the nook. Is there an easy fix? I'd much rather use MX player cos its awesome!

It will be better if you can collect & share a bug report (from menu > help) immediately after reproducing the issue.
[MX Player] gridmuncher:
Thanks. I'll try. Not sure there's an option in the nook android for doing a bug report, I'll try with USB cable. Just to clarify no part of the video is cut off, its just MX player doesn't seem to recognise the screen size and treats it as if its a 16:10 or 16:9 screen instead of the 3:2 ratio it actually is. Some other apps also seem to be incompatible with this ratio and leave an unused bar of black screen down one side. Nothing is cut off, its just not all the screen is being used.
