I installed always MX on my phones as default video player. But only on my Xiaomi Mi Max 2 can i skip in the video, without buffering the whole file... why (via SMB in local network)?

Same MX Version, same custom codec pack, same network, both HW+ decoder... Oneplus 6 and 7 Pro cant skip the video without buffering. Its so frustrating. I made a short video of the problem (Mi Max2 Free version - OP7 Pro Pro Version - but it doesnt matter which version i use): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkZIJL51Iqw

Control settings

Hello up/down controls only can be used for sound and brightness settings. But i want to use up/down buttons for prev/next. Because i want to change channels easily when using iptv on it. Is it possible to do it?

If you're on MIUI,there is a xposed module called custoMIUIzer.But I don't know if it will work on iptv app.

When downloading offline videos (turkish Drama) its language changes in offline video. Why?

 

[Facundo2000]

I've using MX Player for a couple of years in my Lenovo Yoga 11e Chromebook, but now I can't open the app. It says:
"... android internal modules are not compatible with current version of mx player". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application with no success. I cannot install the apk from the MXplayer website because in this chromebook i'm not allowed to install external apks. What can I do?

Is there way to change font in File List?
MX Player uses system font anywhere but this list, so it looks strange.

MX player doesn't stream online videos

MX player doesn't stream online videos, it always displays "can't play the link".

Why is the font changed after the latest update. System font is way better.

 

[TogusaRusso]

After update player start require latest 1.13 ARM v8 NEON codecs, I downloaded them from two different places, player can't see them. I show him the file in settings but he doesn't recognise them.

SOLVED: I needed 64 bit version of the codec.

Neither Android nor MX Player have built-in SMB support. The "File Explorer" you are launching the videos from looks like ES File Explorer... If so, it has built-in SMB support, and if you launch a media file with an external app, it creates an HTTP streaming server on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1), which enables MX Player to proxy the video through ES File Explorer.

If the same video file, same network, and same MX Player + codec behave differently, that begs the question... are you using the same program and version to proxy/bridge HTTP<->SMB?

I suspect the file explorers you use to launch the videos on the two devices are behaving differently from each other.

Disable notch support? I noticed that MX Player will play full screen including the notch on a Pixel 3XL but I don't want this. I want the edge of the screen to stop at the notch so that I can see 100% of the video content. I tried looking at all of the settings but there wasn't anything obvious.

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Tried using the chromecast function today, and got the message "video format not supported by chromecast" for MPG, AVI, and MKV. Not many other formats out there. Anyone have a guess whether I'm missing something here? They play locally, and cast with VLC Player...

This is a feature I've been waiting on for years, a bit of a let down so far...


Thanks,

Joe

I am also facing the same issue on Poco F1. This is really annoying Requesting developer of the app to provide a setting to enable / disable the notch within the app. Lime player has this option and it works fantastically.
