Audio Decoder (software) - General Topics

Does anybody know of an audio application (music player) that uses a software decoder similar to MX Player. Or maybe a software decoder plugin for the stock Android Music player? The audio qualities of MX Player are far superior IMO than any popular music player I've found on the market. It IS however a video player and doesn't lend itself to playing 'music only' very well unless that's all one does. Once navigated away from the MX screen it shuts off automatically. Plus there is no album art.
The End.

Feature Request: Subtitle/Lyrics Support

MX Player is a good apps for playing video files. It support many video formats and subtitles.
MX Player also capable plying audio files. But I think, MX Player still lacks of feature as music player. One of them is, lyrics feature.
The lyrics can came from metadata tag from the audio file itself, or just like video subtitle (searching subtitle files in the file folder).
I hope MX Player will be able to show plain lyrics (.txt) and also lyrics with timestamp (.lrc) and common subtitles (.srt, .ass) while playing audio files.
Thank you.
MX Player is primarily a video player. If you want audio player features, you should go with something like Poweramp Music Player.

[Feature request] AVRCP bluetooth metadata

Hi, I made a feature request on January but got ignored (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!s...avrcp/mx-videoplayer/6DZi_O3O9Vw/G-SX_Luc0uwJ). And seems like there is another user requesting the same thing (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/3JVFC214-Ds).
Basically, there are song titles, artist, and album info inside the mp3/mp4 files and those info can be display on AVRCP devices like many car audio systems, and bluetooth headset like Sony MW-600. I have no problem in getting those infos displayed on my AVRCP devices by Poweramp (even mp4 video file). But this feature is missing for MX Player, I wonder if this could be added to the future feature list. Thanks.

Since Poweramp can already do this for mp3 files, I assume you want this for mp4 music videos?

Both mp3 audio and mp4 video files. Poweramp can handle both, but I prefer MX Player since poweramp is just an audio player after all. Thanks.
AVRCP bluetooth metadata
I've got "smart" bluetooth speakers. They are so smart that if the AVRCP status says that the playback is paused, that means that no sound is getting through. So it would help if MX player would at least set the status to "playing" so that the speakers would allow for sound to come through. For now if I want to use MX player, I'm forced to connect the audio cable and loose the media control functionality (play/pause, next/previous).
P.S.: I'm using MX Player Pro from play store

Lags when playing AC3 audio

Dear MX Player community,
This video has track #2 in AC3 format (44.1kHz, mono). When I switch to this audio track it starts lagging (voice trebles, some sounds are dropped). I have tried enabling/disabling S/W decoder (Menu→Audio→Audio track→Use SW audio decoder), but it does not help. Perhaps it is related to the fact that both audio tracks are muxed with 1/2 stretch ratio into MKV container. Nevertheless AAC track #1 is played correctly. Both tracks are known to play correctly on Media Player Classic v1.7.13.112 (LAV Splitter v0.70.2.80) on Windows 7.
Is given AC3 track playing smoothly for anybody?
I use MX Player Pro v1.9.16 with ARMv7 NEON custom codec on Samsung Galaxy S5.
The issue might be related to this thread, but I am not sure.

MX Player audio track selection

I have seen questions posted for three years about how to select the proper audio track on Android. I have installed the latest MX player version on my Android TV running my SONY, and with identical video files (AVI, MKV, M2TS), or the original M2TS (25+ gig) file from a decrypted BluRay, I still cannot select the soundtrack, but instead get the directors comments. My only solution is to have VLC to run the videos that MX player has problems with.
Is there a solution yet ? A simple drop-down to select the proper audio track ?
Thanks in advance

Thd audio
Me too I'm playing an HDR video that's playing fine but when trying to play the audio track that's a separate .thd file it's not even showing up in the files which means it doesn't recognise it as an audio track

Problem with subtitle naming when playing back DLNA files from Serviio

Hi
This thing has been bugging me for a while, and just now I decided to gather enough info to be able to describe the issue properly.
The effect of the issue is that all the media i play back from my Serviio DLNA server on MX Player on my Android TV is named "ORIGINAL" as far as MX Player is considered — at least with regards to subtitles. If I pause playback, the top left corner will display the actual filename, e.g. "My Cool Video.mkv," but MX Player will suggest "ORIGINAL" as title when searching for online subtitles. I then have to manually correct the title to whatever the correct one is, and search for it. It will then download those subtitles as "ORIGINAL.srt," and play them back correctly.
However, as the next video that I play back is also seen by MX Player as having the name "ORIGINAL," it'll load those same subtitles download before that now don't match and that's no fun. Fetching correct subtitles online will overwrite the previous subtitles, etc.
I suspected the issue might be with how Serviio presents the media files, and surely enough, I can see that DLNA URLs are all of the form http://192.168.7.100:8895/resource/40385/MEDIA_ITEM/MATROSKA-0/ORIGINAL.
But, clearly, MX Player has access to more information than this, seeing as how it displays the actual filename in its UI. Am I wrong in assuming this is a problem on MX Player's end?
BTW, this combo of UPnPlay and MX Player on Android TV is friggin' awesome. Beats Kodi every day, MX Player is fantastic!
Cheers,
Daniel
