Both uses different methods of achieving hardware acceleration. Alternative HW+ decoder is available only for the devices running in android 5.0 & newer. unlike the existing HW+ which doesn't work on some custom roms, Alternative HW+ will work on the most of the devices.



Looks like you are using a device that runs on android 5.0 or older. Speed control will work in HW decoder only for those who are running on android 6.0 and newer.

For old devices, either user may use H/W+ (Needs to be enabled on Settings. May not work on certain devices) or may use SW. Speed control will work on HW+ & SW in most of the devices.

Hi, thanks for your quick answer. Indeed, it does not seem to be a problem of the PRO version. I restored my FREE version backup and the problem is the same. I see that the "srt" logo appears if I browse my media through MX and the subtitles will correctly load if I select to play a file. However, the subtitles DO NOT load if I open the file via a file explorer like Solid Explorer.

I've been using MX player for years now and this just started happening now. I can't recall touching anything to break anything, though...

AAC transcoding

Hi

Now that the Dolby codec has been integrated into MX Player is there any workaround to transcode surround AAC into dolby?

I would like to passthrough it to my amp which just decodes dolby and dts.

Many thanks

Pedro

MX Player Subtitle Exploit

Hi, with all the news of the newly discovered subtitle exploit for KODI and VLC Player, I started to wonder if MX Player uses any shared open source code in its subtitle engine that may make it vulnerable to this exploit. Any thoughts or reassurances would be appreciated.

Thanks!

No, MX Player is not vulnerable to the exploit specified in the subtitle attack reports.

Hi,
It might happen when MX Player can't detect the path of the file it's playing. It will happen especially when the file manager uses content scheme instead of file scheme. We are working on that to improve the content scheme handling. It will improved in 1.9.0.

Shortcut for playback speed

Hey there :cowboy:

I like to watch some sections of several kinds of files on high playback speed. Now, there is that double finger gesture that I love - but when I put my S8+ into the DeX-station this does not help me any more ;) Mouse action is a hustle though...

I studied your shortcut list and tried on my own, however, there seems to be no shortcut for "faster" or "slower". Any possibility that you implement such keyboard shortcuts?

That would be really great and several Dollars would travel along if that worked... :eek:

Will be improved in the next update. MX Player will automatically reduce the volume, when there is a announcement from the Maps.

    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.

    Hi Guys,
    In Note 4's stock video player when playing a movie and then screen mirrored to a smart tv the player/screen would turn black to save on battery. Is there a way to do that on MX Player?
    Thanks!

    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

    Hello,

    Been using a Mediatek MT6592 device but switched to the Galaxy Note5. I missed the ClearMotion feature of the Mediatek processor, I used it with the HW decoder in MX Player. I have the following questions:

    •For best picture quality, what should I choose? RGB 16-bit, RGB 32-bit, or YUV?
    •Is there an option to enable motion interpolation with MX Player? Or are there plans to include this feature? The MT6592 struggles with motion interpolation, but the Exynos 7420 can probably handle it
    •For best battery life, should I choose HW+ over HW?

    Thanks.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    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.

    What's the difference between sw, hw, hw+ decoder. I'm on a nexus 4 usually playing 720p videos. Is there one that would be better? Also when I play 1080p, sw has better quality that hw. Is there a reason for that?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    HW+ > HW > SW in that order, use HW+ where available. HW and HW+ use less power.
