So which version of ffmpeg does 1.9.0 contain? MX just updated their internal library to 3.2.4, but the latest version is like 3.3.2 or something.

We select the stable FFmpeg version rather than the new. FFmpeg 3.2.4 was the latest one when we have started stabilizing the 1.9.x.
We will upgrade the FFmpeg again if it's required. So, no need to worry about it.

I don't get it..
On apkmirror.com there is MX Player Pro 1.9.1 but in play store it is still 1.8.20..
Is 1.9.1 still a beta or was it stopped again?

still chokes on HEVC 10bit
files play flawlessy on windows 10 with MPC-HC 64-bit v1.7.10 (d911f14)

updated to testing version of mx player pro (2017.07.09) and 2017-06-06 aio codec on shieldtv

the files play however can't seek and on this file it just stopped playing around 27mins.
took forever to get past that point (sw decode is able to seek, so start playback, switch to sw (after enabling it in settings), seek to 29mins, switch back to hw+ for smooth playback

Can you provide a sample clip / link to sample clip that has issues?
It will be better if you can collect a bug report right after reproducing the issue & share here.

The app version does not always reflect the codec version.
There was no change to the codec.
MX Player v1.9.2 Free, GP
What's new:
1.9.0 ~ 1.9.2
• Support for HDMI passthrough of Audio HD codecs
• Support for external audio track
• FFMPEG library is upgraded
• More precious zoom and stretch
• Media scanning and listing Improvements
• Fixed some issues on scanning media files on external storages
• Fixed some artifacts on HW+
• New Keyboard shortcut for adjusting the speed (Ctrl + UP/DOWN)
• Fixed some background playback issues
• Fixed some crashes from 1.9.x
• Minor UI optimizations
• Fixed translations for some languages

Doesn't this mean that codec was changed? Or this concerns 1.9.0 version?

Faint distorted sound

Installed aio_1.8.6 long time ago and had no problem playing mkv. Yesterday worked fine.
Today no sound (faint and distorted even at highest volume). Using mxplayer 1.8.21. tried the new custom codes but none recognized saying need 1.8.6 armv7 neon. The mx_neon didn't work either. Downloaded mx armv7 codec from Play store. Nothing. Advice?

    https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpeg is my modified source where i'm building from
    You can download recent codecs here ( GitHub releases ) and 1.35.0-1.8.6 here ( Google Drive ).
    Also the XDA download tab is no longer updated as for some reason I cant remove them.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Check which version you need by going to Local Player Settings/Decoder/General
    in the Custom Codec tab it will tell you which one is needed (x86,x86_64,neon,neon64/ARMv8).
    Note: skip step 1 if your using aio (all in one) version
    2. Download the one you need (No need to unzip it)
    3. Go back to Local Player Settings/Decoder/General
    and tap the Custom Codec tab then select the version you downloaded. DONE!

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :

    What's the difference between MX Player Codec Packs on Google Play and Custom Codec?
    MX Player Codec Pack not only contains ffmpeg library, It contains many other libraries required to work properly. If you download MX Player from Google Play mostly it will contain the required libraries according to your device architecture. You have to install codec packs from Google Play only if MX Player asks to install. Custom codec is just a modified version of the ffmpeg library used in MX Player. It's modified to include support DTS/Dolby(ac3) audio tracks. So, Codec Pack is mandatory if MX Player asks to install it. Custom Codec is optional and It's required only if you want to play the videos with DTS & Dolby (AC3) audio tacks


    Why Custom Codec is not updated even though MX Player is updated?
    In Many occasions MX Player may updated without any changes to ffmpeg library. So, Custom Codec will also remain same. The custom codec version required will be directly forced by the player itself. So no need to worry about it. If it's not compatible MX Player will not load at all.


    How do I know that my Custom Codec is outdated & needs an update?
    Whenever MX Player is updated, It will check the custom codec version loaded. If it's outdated it will show a error message that shows "Custom Codec is out of date. Replace it with the new version". Otherwise there is no need to check this thread for the new Custom Codecs.
