---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 AM ----------

Can you share a screenshot & a sample file..?
[MX Player] Yamato-san:
Screenshot isn't necessary - just every video from Nexus 5X is in MX rotated by 180 °. Cause new Google API isn't implemented. In most others it's OK.

What sample file?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Which API

FYI,

The HW decoder uses Android's mediaplayer API. MX Player can control only very few parameters in HW decoder.

I have Nexus 6P with stock android & never had similar issue. No other similar reports from any Nexus 5X. Kindly provide more detail.

In which decoder..?

In which orientation?

If you are talking about landscape, you might have set the orientation in MX Player settings to reverse landscape.

Kindly provide a sample file along with exported settings xml file.
[MX Player] Yamato-san:
You newer heard about this problem? http://www.androidcentral.com/google-reveals-why-some-photos-taken-nexus-5x-are-upside-down
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's irrelevant to MX Player. According to his statement the image sensor is mounted in reverse landscape. The imaging apps (i.e camera apps) has to use camera 2 API inorder to record /tag the correct orientation. If you are using a camera app that uses the legacy camera API, it may record upside down.

So, technically it's an issue with your camera app. MX Player just plays whatever it's. If the camera uses camera 2 api, the video will be played in proper way in mx player's hw & hw+ decoders. Just Try Google Camera app for video recording & let me know the results.

It will be helpful if you can provide a sample clip for further investigation.
[MX Player] Yamato-san:
I recognize that what you are writing about API sounds logical. Then I but totally understand. All in MX works OK, only the videos shot with Nexus 5X are rotated 180 °. The other players (e.g. VLC). Reinstal MX - no change. Well, I'll try to factory settings...
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Do you mean that other players working well...? If it's so, is it same on all decoders (HW, HW+ & SW) in Mx?

Factory reset may not be helpful in this regards.

What about video orientation when shot by using stock Google Camera?

All I need a sample clip to test it. [emoji20]
[MX Player] Yamato-san:
But... it helped :) I don't know why, settings of Camera and MX are the same. But it works fine now.

Very sorry for the accusations of errors.

Why MX Player changes lock screen background?

Edit: This is a bug of MX Player. Thanks ktsamy for helping!

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug of MX Player or the Android system. I am using MX Player 1.7.40 (ARMv7 NEON) on Android 5.1. When playing a wma file with an embedded icon (maybe the album cover or something), MX Player changes the background of my lock screen to that ugly scaled icon. Please see the screenshot below:

Because XDA forum neither allows uploading attachment nor allows links to other sites, please copy the broken-down URL below to see the screenshot:

https://

postimg.org/image/4s0hm24l3/

How to avoid this? Am I allowed to have a clean, unaffected background specified by myself, or is this a non-optional feature? Thanks!

BTW, The normal screen background (i.e., after unlocking the device) is unaffected.

Audio Format AC3 is not supported

Hi there, im newbie here, i just bought Samsung Galaxy S7, and when i try to play some video it said that Audio Format AC3 is not supported, i already try to download all the codec in playstore but nothing is work. What should i do then ??

Neon 1.7.32.zip can't do the job anymore T_T
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
AC-3/DTS support is removed due to patent issues. You can use custom codec to restore the AC-3/DTS support. You are trying an old custom codec designed for v1.7.32-40. i won't work with New MX Player 1.8.x. you must download new cuatom codec 1.8.0.

For more Information about custom codecs, read here

HI I have a tegra2 device with 6,0,1 and after installing the mxplayer from playstore. I start it up and it it stops asking for install codec. (required version 1.8.3 or later). If i push ok it chose MX Player Kodek (ARMv7). . I install it.

when I start mxplayer again it says installed codec is out of date. Installed version 1.7.39. Requred version 1.8.3

Is there a 1.8.3 armv7 codek apk somewhere?

I tried putting the 1.8. tegra2 custom codek on the download section and that didn't workj.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Actually It doesn't exists.

1.8.3 is supported only for marshmallow arm v7 devices. Hopefully soon (within few days) it will get the support for other arch too.

Support about HE-AAC v2 ?

From what I read online, HE-AACv2 ~= OGG > MP3.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Efficiency_Advanced_Audio_Coding

Therefore, I would like to confirm if MX player can decode HE-AACv2 specifically before I purchase the pro version. From my understanding, if the decoder cant decode HE-AACv2, it can still decode and play but only for the AAC LC part (which is bad comparatively in low bit rate).

From the screen capture uploaded, it doesn't specify the type of AAC [HE-AACv2 ? HE-AACv1 ? AAC LC ?] so I can't confirm.

Thanks in advance for any reply! :)

Avoiding letter boxing on 4:3 ratio screen

I currently use MX player on all of my Android devices but I am thinking of purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S2 tab which I understand has a 4:3 screen ratio and therefore plays video with letter boxing. If I adjust the MX player screen ratio setting to 4:3 will that adjust the video to full screen without any distortion?

Thanks for any help.

[MX Player] AshAficionado:
I use Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge . What Mx player codec should i use.

I know everything works just Fine but i wanna know what is EXTREMELY BEST for my Device.

This question is for Knowledge info too

Thanks in advance
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
MX Player will ask you if you need any codec packs. Most of the modern devices (Including S7) has Neon instruction support. If you have downloaded from Google Play it will automatically download neon optimized MX Player. If you have installed from other sources, if it's a non neon version MX Player will automatically ask to install the codec pack.

Note:

Standard Codec pack is different from Custom Codec. If you want to play videos that has dts/dolby digital (ac3) track, you may still have to custom codec. For more info, you can refer my custom codec thread.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Have you tried reinstalling the app...?

As far as I know, It may appear when the MX Player files are corrupted or not accessible.

If it doesn't fix the issue, just install MX Log Collector. Open it as soon as you see the error. Save to sdcard & share here.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

If the source & display are 4:3 it will automatically play in full screen. When it comes to 16:9 video on 4:3, if you don't want to stretch the video either you have to go with letter box or pan scan. In letterbox you may get black borders where as in Pan Scan you will video will be cropped to show in full screen.

If you want to show a 16:9 video in full screen in a 4:3 device without cropping, only option is stretching.... ??

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

HE-AAC is extension to AAC LC profile.

MX player uses ffmpeg. It should play HE-AAC without any issue.

MX Player video property shows only basic information. For extended media information you may have to use other apps like media info. I have tested a HE-AAC sample & everything was fine.

BTW, AAC also a lossy audio format. But, comparatively it will work better only on low bitrate. If you are converting a lossy audio to another lossy audio, you will never get a file with same/better quality.
[MX Player] D-m-x:
Yep, of course, I reinstalled a few times. Maybe it has something to do with the Rom internal stuff!?

10bit HEVC support

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 (Rooted, BusyBox and Xposed installed and all, if it matters).

Whenever I try to play a 10bit color encoded HEVC(x265) video, the colors get messed up. I understand that's because there is no hardware acceleration support for 10bit color on my device. However, when I switch to the S/W decoder, the video plays normally for a while and then it starts to stutter and de-synchronize with the audio. I have tried it with 1080p and 720p videos. Is there a fix for this? (Tried installing the custom codec, no effect).

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
SW lagging happens when your CPU is not powerful enough to decode a 10bit 1080P HEVC. There is no other way if hw acceleration is not possible.

Custom codec has nothing to do with it. Kindly read the custom codec thread to understand what's custom codec...!

[MX Player] Placebo_Obecalp:
Well I have a pointer with my remote control but it still wouldn't let me zoom/pan, I tried dragging everywhere, how should it function with a cursor? Seems quite the oversight to not allow pan/zoom without touch, hope it can be implemented? :)
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
I wouldn't call it an oversight per se; MX Player is a fairly old app that predates Android TVs by years. That being said, if something like a mouse was used, then perhaps panning can be done with wheel click and hold, and zoom done with wheel scrolling...

Hi! I just updated to Android 6.0.1 and re-installed MX Player Pro and the custom codec. Everything is working as it should, except a little irritating issue. The proper file name is no longer displayed while playing a file, instead it is just a 5 digit number, which is found at the end of "content://0@media/external/video/media/XXXXX". (<--) This apperently is the file path used while playing the video, instead of the real path that used to be used. Is there anyway to get the correct file name displayed again?

Kindly try 1.8.6. I am not sure whether it's re enabled for nexus 9 or not. AFAIK, it's disabled since many HTC devices are crashing in HW+. So, nexus 9 might be accidentally included since it's a HTC device. It will enabled again once new HW+ is ready, May be in another few weeks.
