MX Player Custom Codec [AC3,DTS,MLP,TRUEHD, etc..]

[jmz768]

Can somebody please explain how to update my custom codec for MX Player Pro on my Chromecast?

It tells me to use ARMv7 NEON type custom codec but I see no file with that name available. So after guessing at which file I need and obviously choosing the wrong one, I'm told I need version 1.49.0 ARMv7 NEON codec, but again, no such file with that name exists for download. Which specific file do I want?

Also, if someone could post a step by step guide to getting the right file on my Chromecast, it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Use mx_aio.zip file (AIO means All (codecs) In One file).

I think that ARMv7 NEON is mx_neon.zip file and ARMv8 NEON is mx_neon64.zip file.

I use MXPlayer in android TV but can use your custom codec. In my setting custom codec it said: "use arm7 neon" but when i put custom codec in download folder and app don't detect it. I use latest mx player free version ver

Be sure that MX Player Pro has access to the directory where your codec file is located.

Of course my app have that permission. I remember old ver can detected but new ver can't do that

Did you give the permission trought the app and throught the system ? What is your version of Android ?

Android tv 11. I checked this permission in app and it's say yes

Ah, it's ok now. I change from "only permission when use with app" to "always"

Hi,
Quick question : I use the mx_aio codec to watch a 4K HDR10 video on my Pixel 7 pro. It works great in full screen when there is no media control displayed on screen. But whenever I touch the screen to display the controls, or receive a notification, the image gets darker and noticeably more saturated.
I tried to take screenshots, but it does not render the proper brightness/saturation.
Is this something you have observed ? Is it an expected behavior and is there a workaround ?
Thank you

And when the controls desappear, does it come back to the proper brightness/saturation ? I guess that it's an expected behavior done to better see the controls when you use them.

Either that, or (more probably) the image is rendered according to the new colors on it (bright white elements). Happens all the time on TV's with adaptive image settings.

I don't recall, is it possible to change the color of media controls?

Yes, when all overlay elements disappear, it goes back to the proper brightness settings. That would make sense.

Either that, or (more probably) the image is gendered according to the new colors on it (bright white elements). Happens all the time on TV's with adaptive image settings.

Yeah, it's possible that the phone switches between HDR and SDR rendering modes. I will see if I can change the media control buttons color.

One way to test that hypothesis is subtitles: do you use them? Bright white subs (perhaps of a big enough size) should give similar results.

Changing the control color to a very dark grey does not change anything, there is still a significant difference between full screen and UI displayed on screen. I took some photos with another phone to show the difference:
1. In full screen mode - brighter, but looks a bit washed out, lacks saturation:

2. As soon as I touch the screen, the image is darker, the skin tone are over saturated

Which one is supposed to be the true HDR rendering in your opinion ?

I emailed mx player support to add the feature. I've been using Kodi to get Atmos to work. Maybe they'll be more inclined to add feature if they get multiple emails about it.

I did some googling, it looks like proper HDMI passthrough doesn't work with HW+ decoder. So when using hw+ decoder and an HDMI connection causes all audio to be converted to PCM before going through HDMI cable. Though some of the stuff saying this is old.

I'm not gonna be home with my Atmos soundbar for a couple days to test.
