Thank you, Alpha 2 also works stable on ASUS P535. The exclude funktion is perfekt, from now on I can start a long-time-stability-test :D

thanks for your work...

Superb efrost,

Alpha2 works on my Trin! Nice looong flick!! Exclusion list rocks.

Might just need to explain the change procedure in the first post, what needs uninstalling before installing the new version (old one leaves Program Files\FTouchFlo directory behind). Do we need to take out all bits from the old version, i.e. has the calibration.dat changed in any way? Because I left it there I didn’t need to calibrate?

Donation well spent!! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wonder12:
Alpha2 working great on mt atom exec. This applications gives more punch after being able to exclude other applications from Alpha2.

Great work! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bchau:
Alpha 2 works well on my JASJAM. I uninstalled Alpha 1 and installed Alpha 2. Start the FTouchFlo. It didn't ask me to re-calibrate and worked straight away.

Well done!!! Efrost.

hi efrost,

thanks for the alpha2 release and working on its SIP ignoring! works beautifully! :)

i have a small problem about the new exclusion feature though. i put in 2 apps in the list namely the proviewer.exe (picsel) and iContact.exe. ftouchflo now completely ignores proviewer as expected but it doesnt seem to do the same for iContact.exe. i still have to tap & hold 100ms before flicking to scroll. i tried putting in just iContact w/o the exe extension and it still doesnt work for that particular app. could it be because iContact doesn't have a window name like the usual apps?

i already tried resetting and reactivating ftouchflo after the config editing but still to no avail. could you possibly enlighten me on how i could work around it to make it recognize iContact?

regards,

Is it possible to exclude Java.

Hey guys,

I can't seem to figure out a way to Exclude Java from the application. Specifically I am trying to exclude Opera 4 beta 2 from the list.

Thank you for your help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elgreek84:
I'd likt to second this. I tried putting jbed.exe in the exclusion, but JBEd is in the \windows\ folder not in the \program files

alsotried s0_suite.jar and that didn't work. Anybody have any ideas.

Just to clarify, OperaMini4 works- but it's annoying having to hold it for 1ms then moving it - its usable but it'd be preferred to have it excluded

By the way Efrost - genius, thanks for this program, can't wait to have the cube! You're awesome man.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Merlin_reloaded:
Nice one...

but please do include app-launching capabilities...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cloudy987:
opera mini will work if you exclude:"Java", then open up the browser, there afterwards minimize it, then reopen it.

is there a better solution?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] elgreek84:
Ooh that works. I can confirm this also works on titan. Efrost do you know of a way to fix this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edkmho:
Dear Efrost,

Great application. The alpha very good. Thank you very much for the great apps.

Is it possible to exclude the Ce-Star chinese hand writing SIP, and how to exclude it in the exclusion list.

I have this in the FTouchFlo configuration file:

; Exclude applications

Exclude:PocketCM.exe

Exclude:TomTom Navigator

Exclude:Flash lite

Exclude:CE-Star

Exclude:PenPower

; end of configuration

I am still not able to use the hand writing recognition from Ce-Star. Would you mind look at this problem. Thousand thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ragart:
Efrost -- incredible work! Really loving the ability to scroll with the exception list too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] efrost:
Thank you! Already changed description.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] efrost:
Hi! SIP ignored "by default", so you shouldn't put it into exclusion list.

Could you, please, point me where I can get Ce-Star so I'll take a look what is going on?

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] efrost:
I'll check it. Thank you!

Hey guys I know there's a way to automatically connect and disconnect Wi-Fi I thought it was called Smart Switch but apparently it's not does anyone have any idea what it's called?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] C0derbear:
Smart Switch is for moving content between devices.

Smart Network Switch is for automatically moving from WiFi to Mobile Data, in theory without losing ongoing connections.

The Edge Panel "My Places" can be configured to automatically enable/disable WiFi (and other things) based upon your location (location being configured a small number of ways).

There's probably an App to do it another way (like Wi-Fi Matic - which I've never tried - linky).

It took me a minute to find it but if you go into Wi-Fi settings & tap "more" you'll find the smart network switch option.. It used to be under advanced & somehow I was just missing it when I went to the advanced settings

Hi All,

I'm curious if MX Player is compatible with Android N.

There are a few reports that the Pro version crashes as soon as it is run.

Can anyone confirm if this is true on the Pixel C running Android N?

Many thanks!
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Yes. Unfortunately pro version has broken.

Google has implemented the new restrictions which prevents the developers from accessing non public APIs.

Pro version is crashing while checking the license.

Android N is on early preview for developers & not for the daily users. OTA is doesn't check the prerequisites. It has hard bricked many devices.
[MX Player] satadru:
Also I'm not getting any audio running (non-pro) mx player under Android N on a Nexus 6.

For those of you running Android N on a Nexus 6, just an FYI that VLC works, though it can be choppy at times.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Probably your video might have ac3/dts audio track. Kindly download custom codec from my custom codec thread.
[MX Player] satadru:
I have the AIO 1.8.x custom codec installed. Looks like network streaming a file with an AC3 audio doesn't show the audio stream, but locally playing a file locally with AC3 audio works. (Same file both times.) So I don't think it's a codec issue.

VLC is playing the audio stream from the network streamed file fine.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you try the following

Go to settings > Player & Disable "Remember Selections" & then try again.

If you still encounter the issue, kindly collect the logs (help > bug report> save to file) immediately after playing the file & upload here.
[MX Player] nramalama:
I must admit, I really miss having HW+ decoder on Android N. Hopefully the dev can make an update soon.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Google has restricted usage the non public APIs. So, the existing H/W+ method may no longer possible. The developer is already working on alternative method. It may take some more time to land on beta channel.

Till that we have to wait......
[MX Player] nramalama:
Sounds good! Thanks for the prompt updates.
[MX Player] mattaw2001:
Android N feedback. When MX Player is in multiwindow it stops whenever anyone interacts with the other app. It starts playing again when touched again.

I assume that it an interaction with the Multiwindow lifecycle which causes other apps trouble as well.

See http://developer.android.com/preview/features/multi-window.html

Willing to test and send logs if of use.

Using a Google Pixel C.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's because of the way multi-window implementation in Android N. When you interact with other apps it switches other app in pause state. The player needs to be changed to work on pause state.

BTW, enable "Background Play" from Settings > Player. So, MX Player will continue to play even when other apps are set to Top.

One more thing if other app also using some multimedia content like audio/video playback MX will loose audio focus. So, it may pause. If you want to play despite of audio focus, disable "Play Alone" from Settings > Player.
[MX Player] satadru:
Can I send the log to somebody via private message?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
You can send to me.

If It's possible I will provide the solution, else I will forward the issue to the developer.
[MX Player] kk12002:
with the build 3 of Android N.. mxplayer player fails to play the audio of x265 videos. in audio tab it shows disabled. and you cannot select the audio track. also using custom codec or using sw/hw options don't help. funny it worked great in build 2 of Android N
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Could you share the mediainfo of the file..?

I will check it out on my nexus 6P
[MX Player] E.Vogel:
Audio play issue with build 3 of Android N.

Mx-player fails to play the audio files (songs) using sw codec. It only play them with HW codec.

It worked great playing the same songs in build 2 of Android N.

The files are a mix of mp3 and flac songs.

another questions, is how can I force Mx-player to use hw codec for songs, it kept reverting to sw codec and I had to manually change codec for each song.
[MX Player] kk12002:
I am sure third party music players will handle such files better.. Rocket player is good
[MX Player] E.Vogel:

Mx-player was my main video player and now serve also for audio play.

I will give Rocket player a try, thanks.

Goto Settings » List » File Extensions

Select the file extensions. From the bottom toolbar tap on decoder & select the decoder you want. That's all.

BTW, can you provide more details about the issue..?

[MX Player] E.Vogel:
[MENTION=4258555]ktsamy[/MENTION], my phone is a nexus 6, running android N preview 3 without any changes.

Since android N preview 2 I get an error message every time Mx-player starts (see screen shot attached).

As I wrote earlier since N preview 3 Mx doesn't play files (audio & video) using sw codec.

I attached the following files (in one 7z file):

1. Mx player start error message and log file

2. log files and media-info when playing mp3 song, flac song and 3gp cideo clip using sw codec.

Hope this help the developer.

[MX Player] josema9410:
Great news, i'll go back to Android N then.

Will the pro version work?
[MX Player] yuppicide:
I am on Preview 4 which came out today. I can confirm that the free version DOES work if you download the 1.8.0 codec, the Pro version still crashes. Soon as I opened the free version even though I had the AIO 1.7.3 codec or whatever number it was, it told me I needed 1.8.0.

PS - has anyone tried "AC3 Player". Does it do video and most formats? It's got a 4.4 rating with 500 Thousand downloads.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
From where you got AIO 1.7.3...…?

The latest custom.codecs available is 1.7.32rev1 for MX Player 1.7.x and custom codec 1.8 is for MX Player 1.8.x.

Check my custom codec thread for more info.
[MX Player] yuppicide:
Yeah, re-read my reply.. I said "1.7.3 or whatever" the or whatever part was because I was too lazy to go check which one it is.. I was going off memory.. yes I had 1.7.32rev1 and just got 1.8.0 because the free MX Player told me I needed it.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Kindly read the custom codec thread.

Custom Codec v1.8.0 is already there since the beginning of 1.8.0 alpha test.

MX Player 1.8.3 is in stable channel for marshmallow+. So, you need the appropriate custom codec too.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's just an clone of VLC with full of Ads. Nothing else. It doesn't deserve even 1*.

[MX Player] Tornado15550:
The sources for Android Nougat are still not released. This code will be uploaded to AOSP when it's released and that's when the developer can start fixing bugs. It's always been this way with 5.0, 6.0, and now 7.0.
[MX Player] dahawthorne:
I hear what you say (and thanks for the info), but of the almost-200 apps I have on my Nexus 6 only 2 don't work - Sygic & MX. So how do all the others manage then?

Genuine question - I'm not trying to be sarcastic. Isn't the entire point of the previews to allow developers to get to work early?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Basically it's depends upon the implementation. Many developers uses APIs provided by the android documentation.

But, some developers are using non public APIs. It can be used to improve the app in various aspects. HW+ is an perfect example for that. It was implemented in early android 2.3 era when there was no api to use ffmpeg & system decoder together to add support more formats with hardware acceleration. Later google has implemented the Mediacodec API in java on JB & in native from LP which can do the same.

It's just an example. There are many APIs & loopholes from the android system is used to improve the performance. Now Android N completely restricts form using non public APIs. So literally it will break many modules. So, it may require lot of re writing of the codes. Apart from that there might be a issues with developer preview itself. For example in SW decoder MX Player couldn't play audio in N DP3 which was a system issue. It was fixed automatically on N DP4. Google changes some GBs of codes on every release. Developers has to study the codes if they want to use the functions not available through standard APIs. So, it's very difficult to write a fix for a version which isn't finalized.

According to conversation with the develooer As of now, HW+ is completely broken due the new restrictions from N. Need to implement mediacodec based hardware acceleration & another major issue (only with PRO is licensing system was using MX's own LVL modules. Due to the new restrictions it will crash the app. Free version is still usable (of course without hw+)
[MX Player] PeterRoweyn:
Yes, that supported
[MX Player] nramalama:

[MX Player] dahawthorne:

As far as I can see from the available menu options, yes.
[MX Player] GibsonSGJ:
Nexus 9 DP5, MX pro works great now, however HW+ is no longer an option. It's not even listed. HW decoder is listed however. Check my Nexus 5 on M and HW+ is still an option with the latest MX update. must be an N thing
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Nope. Had a chat with the developer. Another patch with HW+ support fot Nougat is expected in couple of weeks if everything goes as expected.

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

As I said earlier old HW+ can't work with Nougat anymore. The developer is working on new HW+ engine.
[MX Player] espritsol:
Android 7.0 Nougat

Google has announced in the IO 2016 event that developer can sign up in the device for the Android 7.0 Nougat Beta Final Developer Preview. It clearly mention that Android 7.0 Nougat is for developers and not for daily users.
[MX Player] kk12002:

No, I'm running MX Pro from the play store. Looks like HW is working great, but as per above the current HW+ engine is not working but an update is in the works :)
[MX Player] kk12002:
does the pro version 1.8.5 play hevc x265 on Nougat? can anyone confirm?
[MX Player] GibsonSGJ:
I just tested this for you. I'm running Nougat DP5, MX 1.8.6 Pro from the play store with the latest custom codec. HEVC X265 plays fine, but SW decoding only. X264 will play with HW decoder.

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I'd imagine this will be resolved when we get the new HW+ engine
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
[MENTION=5566633]kk12002[/MENTION] [MENTION=6345782]GibsonSGJ[/MENTION]

It depends. If the device supports hevc natively it can play it in HW. In my Nexus 6P with DP5, it can play HEVC 8bit main profile in HW. 10bit can be played only in SW, since device doesn't support it.

HW+ may provide more support on higher tiers of HEVC main profile. I don't think it will support 10bit if it's not supported by system.
[MX Player] GibsonSGJ:
That's a very good point. I was running DP5 on a Nexus 9 when I tested that. Hopefully we'll get the public release of Nougat today!
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
That was rumor. But, Google hasn't confirmed yet. Google is well known for breaking the rumors.....! [emoji1]
[MX Player] GibsonSGJ:

[MX Player] kk12002:

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have also updated. But, only 49mb from DP5. Seems to be minor update from DP5.

But, HEVC on mkv container is no longer playable in HW. If I just remux the same file to mp4 & it's working.

According logs MKV Extractor of system decoder has thrown a warning as not supported. It seems that Google has intentionally removed.

Edit:

It seems that it doesn't work either on Marshmallow or Nougat previews.
[MX Player] kk12002:
is this a permanent problem? I don't see mx Player mentioning support for N in play store. I hope there is some workaround for this. I'm not updating to N yet. will hold out till a solution comes..

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

BTW does vlc play hevc with the stable build of N. Last time I checked with the betas there was stuttering
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Yes. It seems that Google hasn't implemented hevc mkv container support. After some testing found that it doesn't work on Marshmallow too.

Once new HW+ is available, it can be played through HW+. Till that it can be played only through SW. Or just use any desktop app to remux it to mp4 (I have used xmedia decoder and set video, audio as copy or if you are a advanced user you can directly use ffmpeg). Will take only few min since there is no real conversation takes place. Once it's remuxed it can be playable in HW.
