Hi there, I have a problem. When playing movies with SW decoder (sound) turned on, the sound is trimmed. What to do?

Remaining time indicator
Will it be developed an option in the next versions for customizing the indicators for remaining time, battery and hour to not be cut by the rounded angles of Samsung Galaxy S8's screen? They only should offset a little while.

Ummm,is it better to use YUV(am i wrong that yuv is better quality than other option?)?
And what is "speedup trick"?Should use it cos i don't see any significant different?
Sorry for my bad English.

Sorry for my bad English.
Regarding Speedup Trick kindly read our FAQ here. It's a workaround for reducing the SW lag on devices with slower processors. It's generally used automatically. The option exists to force use despite auto detection.
YUV can provide better performance. But, it also can cause some compatibility issues with certain videos and devices. That's why it's not used as default.
Ah thanks for the explanation as for YUV yeah in some videos that i played there're one or two that play quite choppy with YUV selected and as for the speedup trick,tried it in the videos that play choppy with YUV but no improvement whatsoever so i guess i will keep it off.
curious if the fix outline above is included in the latest beta release?
also in the new beta release, the resume from last left off function does not work.
thanks
EDIT
one other issue - on my car bluetooth, the song info (artist, title, etc) do not show on the car screen... but it does with other players. any chance this also gets fixed with the next update?

Can't ignore subtitle font
I'm trying to use default subtitles and font with an MP4 that comes with its own subtitles and styling, but "Ignore font specified in SSA subtitles" and "Ignore broken fonts..." do nothing.
The font specified by the MP4 is horribly jagged and yellow. And yes, they're optional subtitles, disableable.

can you share the content?
Ignore fonts specified in SSA is applicable only to SSA or ASS subtitles. If your video has some other subtitle formats, it may still use the styles mentioned in the sub.
hello... just wanted to see if there are any thoughts to the questions above? much thanks in advance.
It's also there in our planned feature list. will be supported on later 1.9.x. but, no ETA at the moment.
It seems that's the problem. I checked Media Information with VLC and it says the subtitles are "DVD Subtitles (spu)". I researched SPU and it seems it's not in text but in bitmap format. That makes it more difficult, it seems.
new beta version does not properly resume playback from where it left off.
also, the new beta version shuts down when chrome is hibernated with greenify. this is not an issue with the pro version.
also, for those that purchased the pro version
EDIT
not sure if the 2 issues outlined above were fixed in the recent beta release. if so, just want to report that they are both not working.
EDIT 2
the first 3 items at the top are in reference to mx player beta, NOT mx player pro beta. all 3 are non-issues in mx player pro beta.

My recently updated beta version does resume playback just fine, my last played and currently played files are marked and working correctly from inside every folder, as expected. It is also the ad-free pro version, which was directly available through my Play Store account. Are you using a different install/update method than the regular Play Store?
Greenify has also not been a problem but, then again, I don't use Chrome.
my beta version is the regular, not pro. there was no pro beta version available. installed through google play store.
EDIT
just saw the pro beta version. thanks for highlighting that.

Hi. I have 3 questions.
1) Since last few versions there is a new alternative hw+ decoder mode available in settings. It is supposed to be default in Android 7 & some HTC devices. Now my phone runs Android 6, so which one should I use ? (Normal HW+ or Alternative HW+). What is the technical difference between both & which one is better?
2) I was trying to play a video with embedded SSA (SubStation Alpha) subtitles. But the subtitle timing is broken, some lines appear early, some late & some lines don't appear at all. I tried same with VLC and the subtitle timing was perfect (for same file). So does anyone else have this problem? Does developer know about it?
3) VLC already has arm8 optimized version (as of August 2016). But even its 1 year after MX still doesn't have arm8 builds. Any progress? Or abandoned?

1. in 1.8.x Alternative HW+ decoder is used to represent new HW+decoder engine. It's the default HW+ engine in 1.9.x. if you enable alternate HW+ decoder, it will use the old method of HW+ decoder. Note: In HTC & Cyanogen based devices new engine is default even in 1.8.x as the previous method causes some issues.
2. Can you enable improve SSA rendering on Settings » Subtitles » Text & check again
3. ARMv8 devices are fully compatible to MX Player neon instructions. ARMv8 native build doesn't provide much advantages in terms of media capabilities. MX Player (Neon) already works much better than the VLC's ARMv8 optimized builds. Anyhow, we have some plans for the native ARMv8 build. But, it may need a lot of works and more testing. So, we can't provide any timeline now.

Hi,
Probably you might have changed the zoom manually. Just press the bottom right button & set it to fit to screen.

8Simple question, simple answer - FAQ thread
Exactly as it sounds. Ask a simple question, and get a simple answer. This thread is intended for questions probably not long enough to warrant their own thread, and/or you are not sure if a thread/answer already exists.
Please be sure to read the Welcome Thread, the FAQ page, and search the existing forums first, prior to asking your question.4I have just installed latest free version from Play Market.
So many ads! In file list between file names, over video on pause. And at the bottom of screen, as before. Whats going on?3@volpo222 @CDB-Man @USBhost
It's already reported in another thread.
This issue is a consequence of android bug that exists on 6.0. This is reproducible only when using native activity chooser for any streaming video (or a remote file). Once you set any app as default, other apps (including Stock one, Google Photos, MX, VLC, BSPlayer) will vanish from activity chooser (except some activities like ES media Player) after clearing the defaults. It was fixed on many nexus devices by Google in 6.0.1. I am not sure whether Nexus 9 is also patched or not.
Temporary solutions:
1. Just install any new video player (or intent intercept) that you have never installed. Then open a remote video like smb or it may be any other streaming locations. Now you can see all misssing items.
2. Alternatively you must find the application which was set as default earlier. It's one of the application currently listed. If are unsure, uninstall one by one & check.
You can use any one solution from above. Once you got the list back, you can uninstall any new app you have installed or install the application which was set as default earlier.
Anyway Good News is that, I have already found the workaround & conveyed to the developer as well. It's internally fixed. Next version will bring the workaround for this Android Bug & some more tweakings also done to improve file association.

The stock player probably casts video. MX has no casting feature at the moment, see the pinned topic: http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-chromecast-t2725253
YUV if your device can handle it. I don't think the ffmpeg package includes motion interpolation (MX uses ffmpeg as a base). HW+ and HW should both use approximately the same amount of power.
HW+ > HW > SW in that order, use HW+ where available. HW and HW+ use less power.
