new beta version does not properly resume playback from where it left off.

also, the new beta version shuts down when chrome is hibernated with greenify. this is not an issue with the pro version.

also, for those that purchased the pro version

EDIT

not sure if the 2 issues outlined above were fixed in the recent beta release. if so, just want to report that they are both not working.

EDIT 2

the first 3 items at the top are in reference to mx player beta, NOT mx player pro beta. all 3 are non-issues in mx player pro beta.
[MX Player] D4ND310:
My recently updated beta version does resume playback just fine, my last played and currently played files are marked and working correctly from inside every folder, as expected. It is also the ad-free pro version, which was directly available through my Play Store account. Are you using a different install/update method than the regular Play Store?

Greenify has also not been a problem but, then again, I don't use Chrome.
[MX Player] peterlee928:
my beta version is the regular, not pro. there was no pro beta version available. installed through google play store.

EDIT

just saw the pro beta version. thanks for highlighting that.

Is or will there be support for 4k displays, like xperia zx premium? The player shows ~50% scaling when playing 4k video in fullscreen, wich should not be the case for a 4k display
[MX Player] :
Hi. I have 3 questions.

1) Since last few versions there is a new alternative hw+ decoder mode available in settings. It is supposed to be default in Android 7 & some HTC devices. Now my phone runs Android 6, so which one should I use ? (Normal HW+ or Alternative HW+). What is the technical difference between both & which one is better?

2) I was trying to play a video with embedded SSA (SubStation Alpha) subtitles. But the subtitle timing is broken, some lines appear early, some late & some lines don't appear at all. I tried same with VLC and the subtitle timing was perfect (for same file). So does anyone else have this problem? Does developer know about it?

3) VLC already has arm8 optimized version (as of August 2016). But even its 1 year after MX still doesn't have arm8 builds. Any progress? Or abandoned?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
1. in 1.8.x Alternative HW+ decoder is used to represent new HW+decoder engine. It's the default HW+ engine in 1.9.x. if you enable alternate HW+ decoder, it will use the old method of HW+ decoder. Note: In HTC & Cyanogen based devices new engine is default even in 1.8.x as the previous method causes some issues.

2. Can you enable improve SSA rendering on Settings » Subtitles » Text & check again

3. ARMv8 devices are fully compatible to MX Player neon instructions. ARMv8 native build doesn't provide much advantages in terms of media capabilities. MX Player (Neon) already works much better than the VLC's ARMv8 optimized builds. Anyhow, we have some plans for the native ARMv8 build. But, it may need a lot of works and more testing. So, we can't provide any timeline now.

Hi,

Probably you might have changed the zoom manually. Just press the bottom right button & set it to fit to screen.
[MX Player] Spodi2290:
I think you misunderstood. The video is filling my screen and the player states its scaled to 50%. Either it shows the percentage in a way I don't understand, or it's scaled down. A video recorded in 4k should not be scaled down on a filled 4k display in fullscreen (I checked video and display, both have 3840x2160px), right? Also in 100% mode the video is overflowing my screen.

My guess is the player app renders in 1080p instead of 2160p. Don't know if displaying at 2160p is an android problem, and sony has a workaround for their album app, or it's "just" a setting on the developer side of mx player.

EDIT: I now know what the problem is: Xperia ZX Premium ONLY switches to 4k, with their Album, Camera or Video app (and maybe netflix and youtube). All other apps are running at 1080, to save battery and possibly avoid crashing the phone app, cause that one crashes with resolutions that result in >=720dpi (physically, not the dpi setting), while calling...

Summary: Its not the fault of MX Player, but Sonys strange settings. Maybe J2 can implement a function that forces 4k like Sonys Album, but probably not...
[MX Player] :
Ok, got it.

About SSA subtitles, I already tried that and also tried many settings combination (improve rendering, ignore broken font, etc.) But still I have same problem. Timing of subtitles is wrong (some line appear early, some late & some lines don't appear at all, they appear briefly before next line).

I have been unable to run .mp4 videos with 1.9.3 on a Shield Tablet running Android 7.0. The Player responds with "Can't play this link". It will play them on a generic tablet running Android 4.2.2
[MX Player] UnknownVT:
MX Player v 1.9.3 Aspect Ratio Problem -

Updated to 1.9.3 from 1.8.21 on a MXQpro TV Box (Android 6.0.1).

Playing video (via LAN using ES File Explorer) displays full screen at 16:9 when the file is 2.35:1, so it is stretched vertically.

Used MX Player in this configuration for years, and this did not happen in previous versions, and other TV boxes.

Tried setting display aspect ratio from on-screen menu to 2.35:1 from default, but this did not make any difference.

Is there something else I can try, or have missed setting please?

Thank you.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Does it happen with all decoders?

Have you used the custom zoom? Just click on the zoom button (on the bottom right) & set it to "fit to screen"

Each and every device has different media playback capabilities. can you collect the bug report immediately after playing the video & share here?

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Kindly share the sample clip or link to the clip. If possible kindly provide some timestamps where you get the issues like wrong timing, missing text.
[MX Player] UnknownVT:
Thank you very much for the reply, much appreciated.

I had downgraded to v 1.8.21 (found the menu would not allow me to select any item) then to v1.8.10 -

after reading your reply I reinstalled v 1.9.3 -

and without doing anything, the display aspect ratio seem to be correct on the video(s) I tried.

So v 1.9.3 appears to be working correctly for me.

Thanks for the zoom control advice - I'll bear that in mind to try if this comes up again.

Thank you
[MX Player] rbwinter:
I figured it out!

I have found out that the fault is NOT in the MX Player. It will play mp4 files if they are on a local sdcard but will not when using ES File Explorer 4.1.6.7.2 to run the file from the LAN . I uninstalled ES File Explorer 4.1.6.7.2 and installed ES File Explorer 4.1.3.1. Like magic everything works now. So, the problem is in ES File Explorer ver 4.1.6.7.2

Also not decoder specific.

Subtitle timing is broken throughout the entire video, specifically I have attached 2 samples with VLC screenshots. (At 11 & 25 seconds)

Rewind a few seconds when stopped by notifications?

I'm a user of the Pro version, if that changes anything.

I frequently use MX Player for listening to interviews or audiobooks with the screen off (regularly mounted to the handlebar of a motorcycle, where controlling it is not an option). I also sometimes use "Smart AudioBook Player". That app rewinds the media a few seconds every time an Android notification interrupts the audio, which is great, since it really helps improve the comprehension on some difficult topics, where understanding it is hard enough to being with. With MX Player, I'm not sure if it's possible to do this, but if there isn't I sure wish there were. Currently the audio mutes but keeps playing, which makes multiple long notifications (like dirrections by voice when using GPS). With music it isn't a huge deal, but when listening to audiobooks it really reduces the enjoyment factor.

Is this something that can be done currently? If not, is this something that could be considered?

Update video library without pressing button

Hi.

I have installed the pro version of this app in a tv box, I have configured it to start alone when the system starts and to show me the videos of a folder, the videos pass through samba from pc to android.

My question is whether it is possible to update the library to see the new videos available in the folder without having to press the update button, once the file passes from the pc to the android folder automatically shows it in the library without having to press to update.

Sorry if the translation is not correct, use the google translate. :rolleyes:

Thanks greetings. :good:
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hi,

it depends on the device. In some devices, the file system changes are not properly reported. In our test devices, the new files are automatically listed without a need of a refresh.
[MX Player] diegomn:
Thanks for the reply.

When deleting the file disappears the file of the library, but when a new video is added it has to be updated so that it appears.

I know it's a silly question but it's a device that my parents are going to use and I wanted to make it as simple as possible.

Thanks greetings. :good:

I have a video which mx is not able to play with hw or hw plus and in sw sound is lagging... I have also installed the custom codec x86 here are the details of the video... Please help..
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hi,

Looks like your device doesn't support hardware acceleration for Hi10 Profile. So, neither*HW nor HW+ will work. When both are not supported, MX Player will use SW. Most of the videos can be played in SW. But, decoding is done on the CPU. So, it may lag when the processor is fast enough to decode the video in real-time. If it's lagging for you, then your processor is not fast enough to run the video.

Update for Android 6.0 marshmallow? Getting video pause playing
[MX Player] reimart660:
I can give some based on my experience using both players:

It can act as a remote control when you play video while using screen mirroring. It will just show media controls on your phone instead of the actual video. Basically, it is VLC's version of how Chromecast works.

Supports for chapters/ordered chapters (usually found on MKVs).

Supports playlist for music files.

Has built-in equalizer.

Has built-in file explorer.

Menu UI and controls is similar to most Googles apps so its easy to understand for the not too techy people EXCEPT THAT **** UGLY ICONS IN THEIR VIDEO PLAYER (its only my personal opinion and yes, I really hate those hence the all caps XD) .

But if I where to choose between the two as my main player, I would still choose MX Player because it is more stable in decoding using SW or HW. VLC sometimes produces random artifacts on SW and sometimes freezes after playing Hi10p or HEVC videos.

[MX Player] f4stCharge:
Hello,

I'm not very familiar with the technicalities of video files and players, but I do know that files with TrueHD attached to it give my device (S8+) some problems. HW+ has a lot of difficulty playing those files, while I thought that HW+ was supposed to be the 'better' option (between SW and HW). I need to switch to HW in order to play those files.

Mostly I can start those files from the beginning with HW+, but often the file will crash at a (for me) random point. Or when I decided to pause or 'scroll' through the video.

Why not stick with HW? With HW it seems that the audio and video are 'not as much' in sync as in HW+

I guess I would like to know if my device is faulty or not.

[MX Player] MacSmithC127:
Thanks for the fast response, but it was my mistake, really.

I didn't know moving/scaling won't work with all subs, so didn't take the time to check with other video files.

With most of the others I tried now, it in fact works as it should.

Another small thing though:

I love MXPlayer's feature to play videos in the background and use it a lot.

On my old devices, MXP's space in the "pull down notification bar thingie" had an "X" to close the player without bringing it to the front again first, which was nice.

This "X" is missing now.

Is this an Android thing (old 4.42 and 4.2 vs. new 7.0) or am I missing a setting in MXP?
