When I read that the AC-3 patent expired, MX Player is the first project that came to mind that would benefit from it. I was pretty bummed out when they forced you guys to remove support for the codec, but I'm glad that it's not longer an issue.
[MX Player] zacharias.maladroit:
Wow - good riddance ! The patent won't be missed !

[MENTION=4258555]Thirumalai.K[/MENTION] thanks for adding the support , I got quite a few videos that use AC-3 :cowboy:

[MX Player] zacharias.maladroit:
you actually upgraded the app, or using the latest version right ?

rebooting the phone might help - or whatever the reason for not working is ...

[MX Player] dhruvdave:
What about dts codec does we need it
[MX Player] TheTAMAS:
Please.. PLEASE.. Pleeeeease add ChromeCast support.. :fingers-crossed:

ChromeCast & DTS are the only 2 things that are now missing from the already mammoth great MX Player.. :victory: :highfive:
[MX Player] MartinDimchev:
It would be nice to make a SALE for a day or to for the Pro version to celebrate the AC-3 thing :))))
[MX Player] salman4522:
thanks i just use MS player... Its one of the most usable software on android phone...I just go to purchase it.
[MX Player] P€πtex4869:
Is the update released? I didnt get any update in play store
[MX Player] Vankog:
I also like to know if this is the case for DTS, too. Or do we still need the custom codec?

(btw. I'm in team Chromecast as well.)
[MX Player] dewettie:
For DTS, you still need a custom codec as it's copyrighted.
[MX Player] xeplayer:
Good new. thank you.
[MX Player] scandiun:
Will it work with Dolby Digital Plus?
[MX Player] InvalidDNA:
He has mentioned in most of the regions, Not all regions. I suspect, They might have excluded some regions especially US.;)
[MX Player] InvalidDNA:
DOlby Digital Plus is E-AC-3 & it's still protected by patents.
[MX Player] P€πtex4869:
How to get the new mx player version?
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
does mlp audio codec is added by default
[MX Player] scandiun:
Ok can you tell exactly what the patent numbers are?
[MX Player] scandiun:
I tested myself personally. LG's default video player, VLC and MX Player Pro play perfectly E-AC3 (Dolby Digital Plus). The only one that fails is BSPlayer both free and paid version.
[MX Player] abhi212b:
Nope! I don't know.. How u are playing it.. But I have tried many times.. Uninstalled, cleared data and uninstalled.. Downloaded again from play store.. From other sources so that i get the latest version.. But none of them plays ac3.. :/
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
We are planning to rollout a quick update to fix the ac3 issues for those having issues in getting the configs from our servers.
[MX Player] abhi212b:
I tried beta version as well... It doesn't work..

Quick roll out on play store will be great! :D
[MX Player] salman4522:

[MX Player] Ashokkumark009:
Not proper installed ac3 audio version plz solve it data also waste to update it
[MX Player] DragonSpitz:
Just force stop and clear cache and then open the app with internet. Also you must be on latest version
[MX Player] Rolldog:
Awesome! Dolby is similar to pharmaceutical companies. Now that their AC-3 patent has expired, they've already roped everyone in to use their Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Perfect timing. Worse is HEVC/H.265, a compression manufacturers decided to use for UHD(4k) video which royalties are 5x higher than the previous format, capped at $25 million vs $5 million. I don't understand this. If the industry would back VP9, Google's open source compression, we wouldn't have so many hands in the pie ultimately leading to all us consumers getting screwed, paying top dollar for a 4k TV, and only being able to access one UHD source. Sometimes I wish the patent laws were more lenient. At least with pharmaceuticals, generics start being produced within 5 years or less, but they can't capitalize the first letter of the generic drug name. Maybe soon we'll see atmos.

[MX Player] KeBoTx:
Does the USA have access to this AC-3 update? I've installed MX Player on a new phone 2 days ago, and do not have AC-3 playback capabilities. I've seen screenshots of MX Player in the app store for other regions and it specifically states in the update notes about AC-3 support, but mine (USA) does not. I also notice that MX Player Pro is on sale in a lot of regions today, but it is still full price in the USA's Google Play store.

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you collect a bug report and share here?
[MX Player] nyteryder79:
Still cannot play AC3 on my Nexus Player with this new update and custom codecs no longer work either. This update sucks! Does your built-in AC3 support X86?
[MX Player] Schaefer_01:
AC-3 and EAC-3 not working with MX Player Pro

I am very sorry but MX Player Pro (latest version) is still unable to play videos with AC-3 or EAC-3 with the build in standard codec. I have stopped the App, cleared the cache, deleted the whole App und reinstalled it. But no way to play that videos.

With custom codecs it is working, but sometimes i get other problems not with audio but with video (H265).

Is it right, that MX Player should play videos with AC-3 and also with EAC-3 out of the box in the future ?
[MX Player] vynyth:
Great now.

Just hope the subtitle issue will work properly in future.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
can you specify, what's the actual issue..?
[MX Player] gthebest:
Hello. Will support AAC 5.1 audio the new update of MX player ?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
AAC is already supported.

Kindly collect a bug report & share here.
[MX Player] gthebest:
I'm using terrarium tv, and when I play a video with AAC 5.1 sound i take only 2.1 from SPDIF
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's because MX Player do not support audio passthrough. It will down mix the audio to stereo. So, you will always get stereo out.

In v1.9.0 we all add audio pass through for HD audio codecs.
[MX Player] abhi783821:
i have a in there

it does not support some of audio format. i haave problem with that one
[MX Player] kwhopson:
This would be great news but it just stopped working

No AC3 support as of this morning, 6.5.17, in the US. Was working last night. App says its up to date. MX Player Pro 1.9.0
[MX Player] cryForTears:
The pro version doesn't support ac3 while the free one does. I have to download the free version to play then what's the meaning I paid for it? Please upgrade the pro version as soon as possible. And also please make these two update at the same time next time.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
There is no technical difference between free & Pro version except the ads.

Probably you might have some issues in getting configs from our server.

Kindly clear the data of the app & open the app with working internet connection. Once it gets the configs from the server, it should work again.
[MX Player] onepulasi:
me too, I can't play ac3. My MX Player version is 1.8.21.
[MX Player] dhruvdave:
Uninstall and reinstall and try it
[MX Player] :
Ac3 codec is supported from v1.9.0.It works with both MX player 1.9.0 and MX player pro 1.9.0
[MX Player] Dany XP:
In alla my devices, i can only see 1.8.20 on play store...
[MX Player] esad13:
Same here.

The only explanation I can find is that the update was halted due to bugs.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
1.9.x is currently available only in the alpha channel of Google Play. Alternatively, you may get it from our test build page (https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build)
[MX Player] esad13:
Thank you for updating the Pro version on the test build page. It installed and worked great on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet, but not my (T-mobile) Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge phone.

I had to uninstall the old version completely before the new one would work on the tablet. Tried the same process on the phone and I still receive the error message "no support for AC3 format."
[MX Player] krkhaha:
Hi I've got little problem. Long time ago I buy full version on different account and now after flash custom rom I must add my old account, install pro version and later delete account. Can I verification license without login to play store?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
No, If you have purchased through google play, the license can be validated only through google play.

MX Player checks the license at frequent intervals to avoid any miss use even after cancellation of the order. So, removing the account may result in license validation failure.
[MX Player] dslreports:
For some reason after updating to mx player pro 1.9.3, ac3 audio stopped working. It says This audio format (ac3) is not supported. Does anyone know whats happening? I have tried reinstalling, clearing cache, and restart. Thanks.
[MX Player] rhinology:
I have exactly the same issue. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling too. There must be some bug.
[MX Player] rickbman:
I too am unable to play AC3 audio after updating to the latest version of the software.

I have version 1.9.3 of MX player.

I am on a Samsung Galaxy S8 if that makes a difference .

I've tried restarting the phone. I've tried completely uninstalling the software and any previous codecs and reinstalling the software.
[MX Player] esad13:
Same here. The play store update killed the AC3 on my tablet and my phone I could never get to work.
[MX Player] Bastien_:
same for me, cannot play AC3 on HTC U11. Not sure what to do, when trying to use custom codecs it suggests 1.9.0 ARMv7 NEON codec which i cannot find
[MX Player] Rekrapmil:
I am using MX player Pro on my AC Ryan Veolo 4K+. At first it was all great, but for week now the player just won't decode AC3 files. It can only output audio in Stereo. I went through the process of installing custom codec but it still wouldn't output Dolby like before.

What should I do next?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

I think I have just figured it out myself. Haha.

I cannot use HW+ or SW decoder. It has to be just HW. I had to uncheck everything in the decoder settings. It works now!
[MX Player] Hikerjim:
Ac3 not working

I have the same problem where ac3 isn't working. I have s Huawei Honor 6x if that makes a difference. I got mx player from Google apps store and it's version 1.9.3.
[MX Player] RootbeerNoir78:
Are we really sure?

Just spent an hour clearing cache, restarting phone, reinstalling mx pro (v. 1.9.3). Reading forums. I still get a message telling me Ac3 is not supported. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Edit: Oh my dear gods of kobol! ARMv7 Neon 1.9.0 does... Not... Exist. But apparently if I can magically make it appear, I'll be able to actually hear the audio from AC3

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Some of us have kindly cleared our data and reopened it. Still no magical configuration to support AC3. I've done it twice now, once over phone network, and once over Wi-Fi. Nope, no AC3
[MX Player] encore2097:
Running 1.9.3 on a Nexus 7 (2013) and unable to play AC3, stopped working after the update.

Edit: Fixed by installing the new custom codec found in the links here:

[MX Player] esad13:
This worked on my tablet and phone.

Thanks
[MX Player] ali.akbar01:
Well E-AC3 still doesn't work.
[MX Player] MartyM76:
That's still the same problem as in the past - AC3 is NOT working on 1.9.6. by default.

Passthrough is working but only in stereo - which is kind of pointless.

I emailed support at MX Player and hope to hear back about the AC3 problem.
[MX Player] MichaelOfficial:
So...

..I paid so many money and still I don't have AC3. Idk why is this app so expensive I can't have it all?!
[MX Player] MartyM76:
I sent an email to the developer(s) several days ago about this and have not received any response. That's a very bad sign.

It is very unfortunate, as I would REALLY prefer to use MX Player due to the nice interface, and would gladly pay for the extra features.

I guess I'm stuck with the previous versions of Kodi (support AC3 and DTS, and passthrough) or Archos.

For a replacement for MX Player not working right, try Archos Video Player. Great interface, and it supports AC-3 & DTS, and passthrough, too! But no music player.
[MX Player] esad13:

[MX Player] manoj911:
I have mi max and its hardware brightness and contrast while watching a video in daytime is very bad, i have paid for mxplayer pro so i use that for my videos, but they dont have a internal brightness and contrast , they only use hardware brightness

is it possible if someone can guide me to a video player which got its built in brightness and contrast
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Kindly make sure that you haven't disabled brightness & volume gestures on Settings » Player » Control.

What's the version of the MX Player?
[MX Player] Wormsworth:
Eac-3 and AC-3 are not supported in 1.9
[MX Player] pakfones:
That's really great news from MX player Team.
[MX Player] jcespi2005:

[MX Player] Blackthorn0069:
WTF?` lost AC3 support...

So as of one of the last few updates, I've lost AC3 support... What's up?
[MX Player] Wormsworth:
Ac3 is still not supported. What can I do about this to get it back??
[MX Player] kapciu75:
Does anybody knows how to make MX Player Pro 1.9.16 working with AC3 custom codec?

When I use MX Player Pro with AC3 custom codec I need to turn SW audio everytime (the player doesn't remember this setting).

Trying to set the SW audio in settings gives no results. The sound is corrupt then.

Any solution? Any last working version?
[MX Player] Raserty:
How to permanently clean them ??? without any recovery
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can you provide the bug report?

It will help us to understand the issue. If your custom codec is ac-3 supported, then it should work without any issue.
[MX Player] kapciu75:
Unfortunetly I can not provide the bug report. I am in different place now. It was in my friend's android device. Custom AC3 codec or MX Player does not work properly. MX Player does not remember the setting to use AC3 custom codec every next time. Setting SW support in options (to use AC3 custom codec everytime without setting to remember) in MX Player makes sound corrupted.

[MX Player] ZILZALMIX:
So why the developer ignores any comments about the AC-3 ? and its not supported anymore ?!
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It's enabled in most of the countries. But, It's still unsupported in some regions to avoid patent issues.
[MX Player] ZILZALMIX:
Could you please list or link to a list of unsupported regions ?

Also the country check is based on what ? the country of the play store ?
[MX Player] RobertEcoppola:
Thanks, will give a try:good:
[MX Player] juke8890:
Nice try. Good and will try that
[MX Player] Sqarborough:
Is the US one of those countries? I haven't ever had AC3 work on any version of MX Player without using a custom codec. Having to track down and install a new custom codec each time MX Player updates is pretty annoying.
[MX Player] MartyM76:
Yeah, me too. Getting definite answers about this and the passthrough problems has been extremely frustrating.

It would be different if I at least knew which regions weren't allowed access to AC-3 support/etc. but I don't even know that.
[MX Player] SyXbiT:
I'm in the U.S. And I've not been able to get this working.

I reset the app, and it worked. When I went back and configured MX Player the way I like it, it stopped working. I don't have time to figure out which setting broke, so I just added the codec back.
[MX Player] MartyM76:
Good timing - I did update the custom codec I'm using (1.9.8.zip) and I can now pass-through STEREO AC3 & DTS audio tracks.

However I cannot passthrough the 5.1 audio. I've been reading and reading and it appears MX Player in unique in that it doesn't force output. It attempts to detect supporting hardware, as the developer says.

I did end up with a version of Kodi Krypton (17) that still can support pass-through forced and it works. I would still prefer MX Player however.

This seems to be a common problem for Android media players. Even VLC for Android supposedly supports passthrough but it downmixes to stereo also.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Hi,

As you rightly said, MX Player is currently checking for the capabilities & uses the pass-through accordingly. But, it seems that the receiver's capability is not detected. Just open the MXPlayer. Then remove & insert the HDMI. Then immediately collect a bug report and share here. We will check it out.

We are planning to improve the audio pass-through feature in future to support the force trying of the specific codecs.
[MX Player] ZILZALMIX:
I dont know why are you cherry picking the questions and answer it while ignoring all other questions.

there is a ton of questions here related to the AC-3 enabled countries you choose to ignore , is it hard to answer this simple question ? or there is something else prevents you from answering it ?

Could you tell us please ?

[MX Player] contro19:

[MX Player] steelgtr:
Archos Player free with free codec pack working very well too. Simple but impressive.

bob
[MX Player] ZILZALMIX:
Im now almost 100% sure that the developer is laying about AC3 supporting in his app.

He cant get it to work and uses regional patient claim to cover his failure,

and he wont even till which regions are still blocked or enabled which he is the only one who came up with this argument about regional patient.

its now over a year since his first claim about AC3 support and yet its not working.

edit: i found this thing MX Player Pro v1.9.23 Patched (AC3/DTS) , i guess this is what i have been missing.
[MX Player] steelgtr:
Found it where?
[MX Player] ZILZALMIX:
just use google search for this " MX Player Pro v1.9.23 Patched (AC3/DTS)" and you will find it.
[MX Player] mihalis101:
I still get the unable to support AC3 message.

Hi, I have version 1.9 of MX Player Pro and I'm still having trouble with videos containing AC3 audio. So I have to use the free version of VLC player which does work. So how is it that a free video player works better than a paid for pro version?
[MX Player] ZILZALMIX:
i guess because the developer of MX is NOT skilled enough to make it work, and he also making claims about regional patent but also doesn't provide what are these regions.

FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL AND FLASH THE ZIP-FILE BELLOW TO GET THE MISSING FINGERPRINT OPTION AND REGISTER YOUR FINGERPRINT TO USE THIRD-PARTY LOCKSCREEN APPS

Here you go....

1... with root explorer go to system > priv-app > secsettings2 and copy and save the 'secsettings2.apk' to a safe location in your phone storage.

2... flash the fingerprint-fix zip in twrp and reboot.

3... go to settings and open 'finger scanner' and register your fingerprint as usual.

(Note! Do not select fingerprint as your lock-screen option..... just register only)

4... with 'root explorer' or any other root file manager, go to system > priv-app > secsettings2 and replace the secsettings2.apk with the one you previously backed up, or extracted from your current rom-zip. Remember to set up permissions correctly after replacement. (0644 rw-r--r--)

5... reboot your device and with 'titanium backup' locate the app [settings 6.0.1 (WALLPAPER/SETTINGS)] and wipe the data in titanium backup.

(Note! ignore any settings error message that may pop up while you do this)

6... now go to your phone settings > lock screen and choose 'NONE' for your lock-screen option. Install any third-party fingerprint capable lock-screen app of your choice and you are good to go.

7... remember to hit the thanks button.
