First of all thanks for this great App. I have been using since the first day I met with Android, and it is simply awesome. Couple of days back I learned that it has online subtitle feature which is awesome. I like the app once again.

I have a kind of request and question here:
1. YouTube App can cast videos to Smart TVs and IPTV boxes with a oneclick only. My TV is not smart but I have IPTV box. Thnx to that I caqn caqst Youtube videos to my TV screen. Could that be possible for MX Player? One click button and oillaaa, my movie, series etc is on my TV screen....

Would that be possible? if yes how?

Tnx in advance.

[ERROR] MX Player Pro 1.9.19
That's what it says when I choose the bug report option on an affected video. Only VLC recorded videos are affected. All other videos work normally. I tried resetting my settings, but all it did was reset my settings.

On the bug report screen, there is an option to save as a file. Select that too & Press OK. It will save the bug report file in your internal storage. Kindly share that with us.

I saved the bug report, but I don't see any option to share an attachment through this site. It saved as a .zip file.

Hi,

there is a manage attachment option on the reply page. If you can't find, kindly upload it on any cloud storages like Google Drive or Dropbox & share the link.

 

[CSWDSTSO]

This should be it.

 

[Thirumalai.K]

This should be it.

According to the logs, FFmpeg has failed to get the video parameters (like resolution, frame rate).
It looks like an issue with your encoding settings.
Can you share a clip with us? If it's not possible in public you can share the link by private message.

We will investigate it further & will find a workaround for you.

MX Player pro: playing a video on 5.5" android LP smartphone I can see the symbol to rotate the screen to landscape/portrait (a square with a couple of arrows around it), which works when mirroring via miracast.
If I use an 8" tablet (wifi only), android LP and very same updated app version, I don't have that function, so I can't rotate it.
Is it by design or am I missing something? To me, I am using same settings in both cases.

Sending intent via Automate

It's not possible to directly use. But, If you are developing your own app, it's possible to pass the http headers through intent.
Kindly read https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api for more info.

I used Automate (quite similar to Tasker on xda) to send an intent but stuck at Extras part since it's Dictionary type while MX Player takes "headers" as String type. Otherwise, with non-referer url, it worked perfectly.

Automate's documentation: https://llamalab.com/automate/doc/block/activity_start.html
What is the correct syntax to input Referer header into this intent ?

Edit: StringArray did the job. (Thanks to Henrik from LlamaLab)

can you export your settings & share with us?
It will help us to understand better. If the device reports as TV, it will be disabled.

SBS Subtitle request

Hi,
i don't know if is it the right place to post a request sorry for this... Like the title i search in this forum but i can't find nothing to see subtitle with a google cardboard (or similar) when i watch a 3d movie (side by side for instance). Mx Player only show normal subtitle in the center of the screen but for the 3d films the subtitle need to split in the two half of the screen. Probably this request it's already done before but i can't find... If there is no possibility to do that i suggest to implement it!
Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, MX Player is yet to be optimized for the 3d mode or VR devices. Subtitle support for VR will be implemented when we implement the VR feature into MX Player itself.

Today I got an update to 1.9.24 but when I try to open MX Player Pro it crashes immediately..
Any idea?

Edit:
Okay, deleting data solved the issue..

How mx player does its font caching?Take it from /system/fonts?
So if i add new fonts to that folder and redo the font caching(clear font cache)will the newly added fonts get cached too/displayed?

 

[Safdarguru]

Why it is not playing

.RV video files??

 

[TheFixItMan]

Why it is not playing

.RV video files??

You would need to

1 - provide the file if possible
2 - provide the error log after try to play the video


You could always just convert the video to mp4

 

[Raccoon Brother <3]

Hello everyone.
The problem is that DTS sound does not work with HW+ decoder, while AC3 works without any issues. Is there any possible solution ?
Device: Xiaomi Mi Box (international version), android tv 6.0.

Thank you.

I did a quick search, but I'm new to this forum and may not be using the search feature right. So my question is... has this been reported, and/or am I doing something wrong? Or: should I start a thread to ask this?

Apparent bug: "MX Player Pro" for Android (current version) seems to have a brightness bug: it sets brightness to a medium value, and swiping up/down on the left side of the screen adjust the volume, NOT the brightness. (The right side of the screen also adjusts volume.)

In "MX Player" (non-"Pro" version), this brightness feature is working (swipe up/down on left side adjusts brightness).

Known problem? Any pointers to a fix?

Thanks...
