MX Player Custom Codec [AC3,DTS,MLP,TRUEHD, etc..] - MX Player
https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpeg is my modified source where i'm building from
You can download recent codecs here ( GitHub releases ) and 1.35.0-1.8.6 here ( Google Drive ).
Also the XDA download tab is no longer updated as for some reason I cant remove them.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check which version you need by going to Local Player Settings/Decoder/General
in the Custom Codec tab it will tell you which one is needed (x86,x86_64,neon,neon64/ARMv8).
Note: skip step 1 if your using aio (all in one) version
2. Download the one you need (No need to unzip it)
3. Go back to Local Player Settings/Decoder/General
and tap the Custom Codec tab then select the version you downloaded. DONE!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
What's the difference between MX Player Codec Packs on Google Play and Custom Codec?
MX Player Codec Pack not only contains ffmpeg library, It contains many other libraries required to work properly. If you download MX Player from Google Play mostly it will contain the required libraries according to your device architecture. You have to install codec packs from Google Play only if MX Player asks to install. Custom codec is just a modified version of the ffmpeg library used in MX Player. It's modified to include support DTS/Dolby(ac3) audio tracks. So, Codec Pack is mandatory if MX Player asks to install it. Custom Codec is optional and It's required only if you want to play the videos with DTS & Dolby (AC3) audio tacks
Why Custom Codec is not updated even though MX Player is updated?
In Many occasions MX Player may updated without any changes to ffmpeg library. So, Custom Codec will also remain same. The custom codec version required will be directly forced by the player itself. So no need to worry about it. If it's not compatible MX Player will not load at all.
How do I know that my Custom Codec is outdated & needs an update?
Whenever MX Player is updated, It will check the custom codec version loaded. If it's outdated it will show a error message that shows "Custom Codec is out of date. Replace it with the new version". Otherwise there is no need to check this thread for the new Custom Codecs.

What do you meant?
Can you explain the problem you are facing....
Does not play dts audio or any video?
Have you changed the rendering to HW+ or SW not HW...?
In the latest build of MX Player there is no option in preference to enable SW audio with hw playback.
You have to enable SW audio via audio track button if you are using HW rendering instead of HW+ or SW.
I have personally tested neon build and it is working perfectly.
Even my old build also working with the current version.

When I go to the Decoder section, click on the directory with the files, then MX Player restarts... I'm getting a popup. This is with MX Player 1.7.12 on a Nexus 4 (4.2.2 stock rooted):
Popup says...
MX Player:
Unsupported device or component file corrupted. Please uninstall the application completely then reinstall it if the problem persists.
OK
When I hit the OK button, MX Player closes and when I reopen MX Player, the codec files aren't selected anymore in the Decoder section. I've uninstalled and reinstalled MX Player a few times, also tried just Force Stop ing it, and clearing its cache, but the same thing happens. This was all working perfectly on 1.7.11, so I suspect it's something with the new version of MX Player, but I don't know how to tell what it is.

yes don't work with my nexus with the same error.
Nexus 7 the same bug..... Please, fix it, thank you!
Same problem
Having the same issue as funtek on my Neuxs 10 with version 1.7.12 of Mxplayer with this codec, both neon and not, tried them both. Same error message.
Your new link that you have posted when you recompiled the codec must have done it. That download is working for me on mxplayer 1.7.12 with no error message or corrupt codec message on the nexus 10. Weird... but very happy, many thanks brother! Must have just been corrupt.

The exact same message as in funtek's post.
I've noticed that the files in the alternative zip are only half the size as the files in op, perhaps the zip was messed up?

Also tested tegra2 codec on Galaxy Tab 10.1 - this one is working fine.

No sound while playing a 1080p mkv
I have a 3.25gb 1080p mkv and I have problem playing using mx player pro. I have tried to switch to different mode - HW, HW+ or SW, video is fine but I got no sound at all. If I use a different player like BS Player it works perfectly. Note: I'm using Nexus 5 w/4.4.2 kitkat + Mx player pro 1.7.28 Armv7 Neon

thanks, it's dts. I have downloaded the custom codec and now it's fine. However, may I ask why this codec didn't include in mx player in the first place? Also the one from the google play doesn't work. I had to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254

So, to avoid copyright issues it's dropped from the official version.

MX Player HW+ Problems
Hello I've been having one really annoying issue with my beloved MX player which I love which is that the HW+ decoder either tells me it won't play videos I have through Plex app I have stored on computer or that it switches from HW+ to SW and SW doesn't play the videos properly they lag or play out of sync or the app crashes. Now I know these videos where HW+ fails to work actually has played in the past though I would say that I recently flashed stock sony rom then using CWM flashed a custom rom but I did all this to try get HW+ to play my plex videos where it wouldn't either switch to SW or not play at all when the videos have played fine in the past. I use MX player 1.7.40 (ARMv7 Neon) Custom Codec 1.7.32 for AC3 Audio support Phoenix Final Custom Rom for Xperia P using Nemeis Kernal 6.3 I understand that you guys need the logcat information and I read the thread about how do do that but I ran into a problem that when I downloaded the logcat app for mx player it returns an error "Cannot access the system log"

MX player Pro build 1.9.5 dropped MPEG2 support?
mpeg2video has broken in last version of MX Player Pro 1.9.5. It reports "This video format (mpeg2video) is not supported". MX Player Pro 1.9.5 ARMv7 Neon was installed from Google Play.
Hello, My MX Player Pro was updated to 1.9.5 from Play Store. Since the update, I cannot play any MPEG2 videos. Before the update all .mpg, .ts and .REC video files worked fine. Now I get "This video format (mpeg2video) is not supported." (well, mine is in finnish but it translates to that) Is this a bug or planned issue? My player is ARMv7 NEON on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 & Samsung Galaxy S7
Have you tried using the custom codec from the codecs thread? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156254
ChazzMatt said: Have you tried using the custom codec from the codecs thread? Click to expand... Click to collapse No, not yet. Actually, for years I have just been using MX Player without any problems and without knowing about any custom codecs. All my files has been standard mpeg2, mpeg4 or h264 stuff so nothing custom about them at all. All these including mpeg2 have been working fine for years now. So maybe I will need to look in to those.
mpeg2video not supported After upgrading MX Player to 1.9.6 at Samsung S5Neo the .ts files recorded at Synology from DVB-T cannot be played. It says "mpeg2video not supported". Same applies to the DVB-T live stream.
Use custom codec. You also started a duplicate thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3664814

Hi, I have just downloaded the codes suggested it the above link. The video works perfectly now. Thanks for the help and info Tony
So is this really the way things work with MX Player Pro from now on? I must use custom codec to watch mpeg2 decoded videos and for every new update of MX Player I will need to get new custom codec? I updated the MX Player Pro yesterday to 1.9.8 (I think it was 1.9.5) and now the custom codec (1.9.0) that I have won’t work with it.

MX Player Pro(V1.9.8) with Custom Code cannot play WMV!
Of course, custom codec ARM v7 NEON is installed. But MX shows only "This video format not supported (WMV3)". On anther tablet, MX Player Pro(V1.9.3) plays the same WMV file smoothly. Is it some kind of level down or others?

Yes, of course. I have already posted my envionment in detail from bug report menu.
I have installed custom codec via Google Play. In my situation, it might not work well for 1.9.8. So I have downloaded mx_neon.zip file directly, and specify the file in the MX Player Pro. Then it works well again with WMV files. So the problem is Custom Code via Google Play installer might go wrong. Thank you!
Thx works!
