can you attach the screenshot?
If you are not getting audio & video is playing, then it might have dts audio track.
If it's so kindly read http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254

There's no audio problem.. . I can hear the audio clearly.. . but the video is not playing.. Here's the screenshot..
It's a kind of scam. The message shown in screenshot is not from mx player. A video can't raise any message, warnings & popups. It's not the warning/information & it's the actual content of the video. Even you can check it with PC. It will show the same.

One more important thing is that the website mentioned in the video is not the official Yify's one. So, It's completely a spam. Don't download any codec or player from the website mentioned in the video. It may contain malicious spyware programs.

Had exact same problem

I had exactly the same issue with two movies i recently downloaded from the so called official yify website. And after struggling a lot for 'missing codecs', i l realized i wasted 1.5 GB of data usage :(

Definitely a scam.. The file compresses with a ~50% ratio (800MB -> 400MB), which clearly shows the file was artificially inflated (using some unusual compression flags on the video I'd guess)... So the info is simply not there..

Definitely it´s fake!! I downloaded 2 movies from the site, both with same message when playing it.
IF you listen 1 or 2 minutes on each movie you can hear the same audio, so it´s purely fake and they maybe are getting money from those websites advertising the site.

I would unnistall the "codecs" they offer inmediately and scan with an updated antivirus the whole machine.

I hope this helps.

    That's a scam YIFY site. I would consider uninstalling whatever you may have installed, and/or wiping the device if possible.

    Do you mean that in pc?
    Hope it's not playing even after installing it.

    Kindly uninstall immediately
