Wow cool thanks for the reply.

I just tried MX Player 1.8.4 (on my Samsung GT-P5220 with Android 4.4 ) and indeep when I put two fingers on the screen moving then up or down some playing speed icon appears. :)

But it stays all the times at 100%. :silly:

Well I read in the 'What is new' about Speed control only working in SW mode.

But when I try the switch from hw to sw the player just quits. :crying:

I tried several videos. Most from YT in MP4, FLV, Webm and own I recorded with the cam of the tablet. Didn't got SW to work.

In old release Version 1.7.40 SW works.

there Help/About says

1.7.40 (x86)

^-which is correct since my Samsung GT-P5220 has a intel atom z2560 with x86 commandset

in the beta version

However beta is

1.8.4 (ARMv7 NEON)

Well that 'explains' why only HW works and all other 'software-based' decodings fail.

I tryed the 1.8.4 on some HTC one that has a Qualcomm Snapdragon that is ARM base and there

it finally works. :o

But well display is that tiny that it's not such a pleasure to watch stuff on it.

So ist there some X86 version of MX player available above 1.8.0?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
X86 Will be there when 1.9 is released to public.

I love mx player but...

In mx player list my video files are listed by their physical file names.

I was using another video app and noticed the videos were listed with actual Titles.

Is there a way to get mx player to list files by i am guessing, their meta title?

previous/next buttons does not work

Hi

When I enable option "back to list" in "settings -> player -> back to list", previous/next buttons does not work, in the other hand when I disable that option, all media in a folder will be played after each other and I should exit manually after the next file starts playing.

I want player exits automatically after finished playing a file and dont play next one and "previous/next buttons working correctly"

What should I do?

Thanks ;)
[MX Player] ToolPunk:
I guess i will make a thread since this simple question and answer thread doesn't get any answers...
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Most of the files comes up without Title. That's the reason to not having this option. Anyhow I will convey this to the developer.

Hello [MENTION=4258555]ktsamy[/MENTION]

I've installed latest MX Player (which is version 1.8.3) on Google Play and then installed MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON) on Google Play as well. But when I go on "special codec" option, no codec is written there. I used to go on XDA and download the codec zip and then extract it and install it via MX Player. So, is everything okay? I mean, this MX Player Codec app on Google Play installs all the necessary codecs on my phone?

I'm pretty sure this is asked before, but oh well.

Thanks in advance.
[MX Player] pmredulla:
If MX Player doesn't prompt you to download additional codecs, you really don't need to download any codec from the Play Store. If, however, you have videos with AC3 and DTS audio codecs, you need to download the custom audio codec here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2156254
[MX Player] IskyNova:
Hi, not sure if it's a known issue/missing feature or anything, but I;ve found that when streaming from an HTTPS-source, I can't see the embedded subtitles, whereas I do see them when streaming the exact same file over HTTP. Am I missing something in the settings, perhaps?
[MX Player] BTVMidia:
Hey man thanks for the reply.

I use an app called Dropsync which downloads the contents of the Dropbox folder to the android dongle (mk808b) that I use as a video player. MX Player reads the file from the local SD card, not streaming like the dropbox app does.

I use tasker as well to turn off MX player at 10pm and start playing again at 8am and sync videos overnight. However, issues arise when I make changes and someone has powered the unit off, or the internet fails or whatever so the sync doesnt happen until the daytime when the unit connects to the internet and the andriod dongle downloads the changes at that time instead of overnight as intended. This results in the playlist that MX player loaded at 8am being altered and kicking up "this video cannot be played" messages that I would like to disable. Just skip it if it cannot be played.

I also have some instances where I'd like to be able to delete something during the day but cant because I dont have a way to remotely restart the player. I know if I make changes during the day the playlist will give the same error.

I downloaded the 1.8 beta and this hasn't been changed. Heres hoping!
[MX Player] leconquerant:
I understand your point of view : we are in the same case. I also have this error and currently there is not any solution to avoid "this file cannot be played". I've requested this feature, conman said it will be implemented, but no news...

may be a solution : install Mobizen. this app allow to see what happen on your device AND allow to use if as if it was in your hand!

it's screen for mirroring not the best solution but it do the job.

The codec pack from Playstore contains many important libraries, not only ffmpeg, it also some more important libs for mx player to function properly. If yu download the MX player from Google Play, it will download the right version for you. For example for a neon instruction supported devices, it will download Arm V7 Neon libraries integrated MX Player. For x86 it will download MX player with x86 libraries. So, there is no need to install additional codec packs until or unless MX Ppayer asks to install the codec pack. It's a waste of space. Without these libraries MX Can't work.

Kindly read my custom codec thread carefully to understand what's custom codec. In Simple words, Custom Codec is just an modified ffmpeg library to support AC3 and DTS audio tracks. Without custom codec MX Player can still work. But, won't play some audio foramats.

Car Bluetooth

When I stream to my car through bluetooth I have two problems, the name and lenght of the song/podcast doesn't appear in the display of the car, and the button for forward (long press) and next (one press) (the button is the same) only works for one of the functions, next or forward depending of the configuration I have in mxplayer (show button next or forward in the configuration).

This is a bug? or there are some configuration that I'm missing?

Thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's not a bug. It seems long press & single short press both are sending same keycode to the system i.e single press. The MX Settings (Next/Previous …>> FF/RW will just change the action to FF/RW when Next/Previous commands received.
[MX Player] ndias:
But other apps work so probably the keycode sent are different, right?

I'm running latest Android N version Nexus 6 phonde and cant seem to find a mx player pro that works. Even in the beta program and it still didn't launch.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Thanks for reporting. It's already a known issue.

In Android N google has restricted access to non public APIs for the third party apps when NDK is used. MX Player uses it's own license validation system apart from Google Play License Validation. The new restriction lead to crash while checking the license. That's why it doesn't open at all.

Free version works well in HW decoder as of now. Kindly use it till Pro version get the fixes.

Other Important Notes:

Apart from that new restriction prevents the way the current HW+ decoder works. Now any third party app can't access some important system libs like libstagefright.so which is used for HW+.

Android N preview 3 also breaks audio in many apps & it has been mentioned in the known issues section of N release notes.

Until or unless it reaches some stable level, it may break anything again. So, it's better to wait. (Myself using N preview 3 for testing....:(:( )

Developer is currently working on v1.9.0 with some more additional features. Hopefully it will be ready with fixes at least before public release of Android N.

I am continuously follwing up with the Developer & will update the status if any.

Background play and Back to list do not work

Background play and Back to list do not work any more on some .avi files.

It looks like latest MX PLayer Pro 1.8.3 with latest custom codec pack 1.8.0 AIO Pack some of my DivX do not treat as usual, it worked great for monyhs if not years using previous versions of MX PLayer Pro and AIO Pack respectively.

Some of my avi still works good as usual: Background play and Back to list but some not (Using same videos since long time ago as audio only with screen off).

How can we fix that?

MX Player Pro 1.8.3

Samsung Galaxy S5 Marshmallow 6.0.1
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hmm....!

That's wired.

It should remain same despite of video file.

What happens exactly..?

When back to list & Background playback used together, does it still continues to play the next file..?

If are encountering issue only with certain files, could you provide the sample clip?. Is it possible to collect the bug report immediately after reproducing the issue & upload here..? I will test it in my S5.

[MX Player] nestorus:
Yes that was weird, not sure even when it happened as I don't remember any updates from Play.

Anyway, I have reinstalled MXP, custom codecs reinstalled several times trying to find the best one individual, but pack only works fine.

And it works back as usual, the only significant change is my MXPlayer Pro is not a default player which looks like that was the issue? Not really right?

Now all videos do audio when screen is off, also MXP stops after one file as I like.

For two days on specific avi files Back to list and Background play didn't work as It wouldn't be tick on in settings, it took me some time as those avi makes the error (the codec I guess).

Avi are 700MB each... and there is no any bug report if I'm correct.

If problem will occur again I will let you know.

Thank you for fast reply.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to know if there is a way to play a video while listening to music in the background. I want to listen to music with a background music player and watching a video with the mx player at the same time. Every time I try that the music just stops. I have a chinese smartphone and I remember doing exactly what I explained some months ago, so I am wondering if it's still possible or if the developers could implement such a feature. Maybe you can turn down the volume from the video and just hear the music.

I would appreciate your help.

MXPlayer and ES File Explorer/Manager

HI,

I have been using this combination to stream video/audio to my Android (Nexus 9 v6.x) device for quite a while. In its various update cycles ES File Explorer has slowly been breaking its usefulness.

Since purchasing the 'pro' version I no longer see MX Player in the associate dropdown (this now happens in the free version since I installed the pro version). Is there any way to specify MX Player?

If not what would be a good file manager solution with network abilities (my files are on local shares)?

Or, will basic network file management be included in newer builds?

Thanks,

[MX Player] volpo222:
Hello,

I am using Android v6.01.

Attached is a screengrab of two states:

1. After a new install and I click on an avi,mp4, or any video file this is what I am offered.

2. When I tried 'Open As' I have the same choices.

Eexcept when I try to open something the internal player 'ES Media Player' knows it cannot play that choice is not on the list (eg. avi, flv, etc.).

This all used to work perfectly. ES File Explorer used to pipe the files to MX Player without question now it doesn't even show up in the selection list of either the free or pay version on the Nexus 9.

I have 3 Android devices Nexus 9 v6.01, LG G3 v6.0, and a Remix mini based I believe on v5.x.

The latter two still can use ES File Manager/MX Player combo. I am not attempting to upgrade until I can sort this out.

Thanks,

V

New Information: After you asked for version information I started thinking, got brave and installed on my other devices with no problem. This seems to be either a Nexus 9 thing or Android v6.01.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Well, as MX Player is meant for 2D video, I'm not sure what a "VR mode" would do... you should look into Google Cardboard.

Just to confirm have you tried using a file explorer other than ES to see if the issue is unique to ES?

Yes, both of those things were tried. 'Open as video' does not show MX Player in the list which is the problem, there is no way to select it.

It's already reported in another thread.

This issue is a consequence of android bug that exists on 6.0. This is reproducible only when using native activity chooser for any streaming video (or a remote file). Once you set any app as default, other apps (including Stock one, Google Photos, MX, VLC, BSPlayer) will vanish from activity chooser (except some activities like ES media Player) after clearing the defaults. It was fixed on many nexus devices by Google in 6.0.1. I am not sure whether Nexus 9 is also patched or not.

Temporary solutions:

1. Just install any new video player (or intent intercept) that you have never installed. Then open a remote video like smb or it may be any other streaming locations. Now you can see all misssing items.

2. Alternatively you must find the application which was set as default earlier. It's one of the application currently listed. If are unsure, uninstall one by one & check.

You can use any one solution from above. Once you got the list back, you can uninstall any new app you have installed or install the application which was set as default earlier.

Anyway Good News is that, I have already found the workaround & conveyed to the developer as well. It's internally fixed. Next version will bring the workaround for this Android Bug & some more tweakings also done to improve file association.
[MX Player] volpo222:
Thank you for this answer Ktsamy.

I got frustrated and uninstalled ES File manager and MX Player along with some other stuff. Re-installing ES/MX combo and clearing both caches again has done it! During this process I must have inadvertantly used your second suggestion.

Thanks to all who commented.

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:

General Help

Hello,

My name is Roger. I'm not a "Tech-Savvy" individual in any way, so I'm sure my question might seem silly.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a complete user's manual or guide for the mx player?

My specific question: Is it at all possible to set (permanently) mx player as the default player for EVERYTHING? Locally stored videos, streamed videos that I purchase from streaming sites, regular Internet videos embed on a site, etc.. .. I apologize in advance if my question is incoherent. As I indicated early, I'm not at all tech-savvy.
[MX Player] Wartickler:
I've tried, I swear to the gods I've tried...

I can't figure out how the heck my son keeps grabbing the phone while it's playing a video and he changes the playback speed. It keeps happening and I keep checking the screen to figure out whether he's got a sub-menu open and he doesn't. This leads me to believe that he is executing some manner of touchscreen swipe. But I can't find

ANYWHERE

that tells me what that swipe combo is!! :confused:
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Use Two fingers & swipe up and down to change the speed. It can be turned off from by disabling "Playback Speed" under MX Player's settings > Player > Controls > Gestures

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

There is no manual kind of thing.

Android doesn't allow file associations like other desktop operating system. When you open a file select mx player from list & tap on always. MX Player will be default for that particular format. If you open a file with different extension you have to do the same again.

It's an Android limitation & applicable to all apps.

Something weird is happening on my Moto x style. When I use mx for a video and put the brightness all the way up the dimmer on the phone kicks in but when I put it down to 12 it goes max brightness?? A little bug or a little feature :) seems like it's the phone stopping me using max brightness whilst using the adaptive display option but then it keys me anyway if I pull down the brightness bar in mx to 12.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Mx uses standard window brightness. MX changes the brightness of window from 0(not exactly 0) to 1.

It seems that when adaptive brightness is enabled, it limits max brightness. When the brightness is set to out of range, android reverts to global brightness instead of window brightness. Probably it can be reproduced with all third party apps.

Note: I couldn't reproduce the issue on moto E2 with marshmallow. May need to check complete system logs in order to identify the root cause.
