I have MX Player Pro 1.7.40 with custom codec 1.7.32 installed on my Motorola Moto G 2014, and I'm having an issue with aspect ratio. When I play MKV files that are 4:3 (640x480) they are stretched to fill the whole screen (1280x720.) I can manually resize it each time I start a video, but I was hoping there is a way to make it show the correct aspect ratio every time. This happens with the setting "Correct Aspect Ratio" both checked and unchecked, and in all codec modes, HW+, HW, and Software. Thanks.

[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Hmm, interesting, good to know then!

The files may have a stored aspect ratio of 4:3, but if it is a DVD rip, it is possible that the video is anamorphic and renders at 16:9, which is intended. Can you post/check the mediainfo of your file?

Hi, I downloaded the latest version on my Galaxy Tab S2, but I'm having trouble locating my SD card files. I can find my media folders located on the SD card when adding folders in the settings, but they don't show up in the menu.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Did you trigger a manual rescan by clicking the refresh menu already?

Yeah, when you look at this, while the display aspect ratio is 4:3, the actual pixel aspect ratio is 5:4. The quoted resolution is not always the resolution intended for viewing.

This being said, aspect ratio and zoom are separate issues. You can change the zoom by pressing the zoom button, which is the last button on the right hand side of the playback interface controls. The default MX behaviour is "fit to screen". If you change it to something like "100%", it will show the video with no zoom, and it should remember this preference across videos.
[MX Player] Saiyan26:
Yes. The only 2 folders that pop up are located in the internal memory containing a Google Hangouts voicemail and the Hangouts ringtone.

Hi guys,

Would u tell me about HW decoder, HW+ decoder & SW decoder in simple ways?

And how about the pros & cons of those

I just downloaded mxplayer today & dont know which the best configuration since in my opinion they're similiary good

Thanks before
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
To put it very simply, assuming your device can handle it, whenever available for the video you are playing:

HW+ > HW > SW

HW+ is MX's version of hardware acceleration with "extra" features, the most preferred mode if available for that video on your device.

HW is native hardware acceleration by the device.

SW you should only use when HW+ / HW cannot play your video properly, as SW means no hardware graphics acceleration and therefore more battery usage.

Not sure, that is up to the developer; he's currently working on a few larger items in the background, so don't know his timeframe.

Hmm, perhaps it is the same SD card access issue as with Android 4.4... if you transfer the videos to the internal, then is MX able to detect? If yes then it definitely sounds like a similar issue with the Galaxy S5 that cannot be fixed: http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/bug-delete-files-external-sdcard-t2728521

this may be a dumb question but is there any benefit of using VLC vs MX player?

i have been using MX player for a very long time but i found VLC supports things like rtsp as well.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
1. De interlace will work only in SW decoder as mentioned. If try both deinterlace methods as the output depends on deinterlace method as well.

2. Can you collect the logs after playing the video that has issues? It can be easily collected from menu > Help > bug report. Just check the save to file to save it to your primary sdcard & upload the file here.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

In which decoder you are trying..?

If Both HW & HW+ fails, then your device doesn't support HEVC natively. MX will use SW. It will be laggy if CPU is not powerful enough.

Problem since early january

Hi all,

Just signed up to this site in hope of getting some help. I subscribe to a streaming site to watch the sports the last 5 years. At the start of this month it suddenly stopped working which I think is down to an update to the mx player so I would be grateful if I could get some solutions to my problem. When I click on a channel all I get is a black screen. I'm using an m8 android box with version 4.4.3 of Android.

Requesting a feature to add

Hi MXP developers. The features added after recent updates, were simply amazing. I don't think any player out there for any OS can compete.

The fix on Audio part (adding audio sync) was a brilliant thing, but you could make it even better... by adding a feature where you can choose an audio file (track) which is external (just like the subtitles). This feature would benefit videos with external audio commentaries or the dub audio (with this, we don't need another programme to mux the audio, just simply loading it, like subtitles.)

Hope you take this in to consideration. Thanks.

Hello! Not to sound rude or arrogant but I had this question in my mind: could you please revise the pricing of MX Player Pro for the Indian market? ₹370 is a bit too over the affordability limit for most Indians out there,if not all. This is because of the disparity between the US Dollar and the Indian Rupee. Sorry again,I have intentions to buy MX Player Pro but couldn't afford it. It wasn't discounted even on special occasions. Many popular apps,for example Poweramp and Pocket Casts are price-optimised for the Indian market.

Thanks and regards,

You're somewhat right, but consider this. Those people who already bought it might not agree with you since they won't get a return after the price cut, and that price tag has been there for years, unchanged.

Support for embedded subtitles

So, I sometimes watch anime on my phone(S7 Edge, if that's useful). As you may know, anime comes with embedded subtitles and not with an external subtitle file. Now, how am I supposed to enable those? They aren't enabled by default and the subtitles menu doesn't show anything except "Add Subtitles". The thing is, VLC for Android shows those subtitles but MX Player doesn't. MX Player is my favourite player and I'd like to watch everything in MX Player only. Can you help with this Issue?
[MX Player] Gawd:
Here it is
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Infact it's true hardware acceleration eventhough you are playing in HW decoder.

You device has vp9 decoder which is based on google's sw omx decoder. MX Player's Control on HW decoder is limited. So, in HW decoder it will play. But, in real it's not fully hardware accelerated. It's similar SW (but, it has some minor advantage over it).

Since you are playing 4K video without hardware acceleration, it's obvious to have some lags as your CPU can't handle such huge load.

Is there any information anywhere related to MX Player USB OTG functionality in Android 6+ and/or specifically Nougat/7?

I have a Nexus 6P (on Nougat), no SD card slot for some stupid reason. Regardless, I tried to adapt via USB-C Flash Drive. MX Player (or any other app, really) cannot see the contents of the flash drive.

As it stands, I have to play videos one by one in the most obnoxious way possible: when a video finishes, go back to a file manager and pick a new video. Previously I would just have a whole video folder play on shuffle.

If there is any information related to this I can read up on, that'd be appreciated. Or at least a quick reply to the effect of "working on it" or "we can't do anything about that" etc.

Why is google turning into apple :crying:

EDIT: Temporary work-around that is awful: Merge all episodes of one or two seasons of a show into a single video file. I mention this specific scenario because such videos are often in identical formats which will facilitate merging.

My main problem is that when a music video is playing and i press the mentioned buttons, playback stops even when background playing is checked. After that the app will skip the file if i press previous or next and i have to manually select from the list the song that was stoped.

Another thing is that on my recordings sometimes when a file is played the progress bar and time stay on "0", when i press ">>" to go few seconds forward the app goes few seconds from where the bar currently is so it goes near the start.

Other than that, it is an excellent app.

You have a powerful and amazing app here. Not sure if this has been suggested already but there are a few features missing to make this perfect.

-music files to view lyrics stored in meta data.

-video file meta data like descriptions, genres, actor's, ratings etc

-when viewing movies, tv shows and music you need a icon wall to scroll through as a grid. Individual files display artwork perfectly once directory is open but the most important to me is to view the album artwork from the parent directory at a quick glace. Similar to how itunes displays their movies and music collection.

If you can add that i will love you. All the other media players in google store suck but they have those grid view artwork features.

Thank you for your time
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's seems to be side effect by a change done by you. When you play the video, open menu » Display » Aspect Ratio & set it to default & make sure that you have selected "Apply to all videos". Now try the zoom/stretch button. everything should be fine as expected.
