H/W+ Decoder doesn't work properly ..... It can play every video and works great with the codecs for DTS, but if you just fastforward...just one time, it will stop and you have to restart the video.
H/W Decoder is working properly when you do a fastforward but it is lagging while you are going fastforward and sometimes there are problems with the codecs. So please try to fix that :good:
It a great tablet but it is horrible to use with MXPlayer
Thx Akubus

Try to use default codec.
Is it happening without custom codec?
If it happening with the default codecs, then the problem is not with the player.
HW+ is not compatible with all devices. If you have any problem with HW+, then try SW mode.
It is happening with both codecs. Custom and DTS Codec. S/W is not working quite as well as H/W+. It would be very nice to have a working H/W+ Decoder

The problem is that meadiatek does not provide any source code. Without the framework source it is not possible to fully implement HW+. I do have same problem. But, there is no work around.
And whats that kind of kernel version released directly from ASUS on their website?

Hi
I used h/w in MX for playing some mkvs without lag in some ROMs such as crdroid and candy ...
But now I'm using stock and I really need those codecs
Any idea what i should do?
PS I did try updated GPU drivers ... Same as before
Tnx a lot

There is (or was at least) codecs in the Playstore for MX by the dev. I used to use them at least on previous devices.

Hello
I recently updated MX Player Pro to 1.8.10 and was also prompted to update the custom codec to 1.8.6 . Not the best decision i ever made as now MKV is virtually unplayable and choppy .
If i open the same files in XBMC on my MINIX Neo U1 everything plays smoothly including large MKV .
I hope this can be fixed . And as its my first post , i'd like to say hello to all of you and to thank you in advance .

Basically HW & HW+ will be very smooth if it's supported by your device. SW uses CPU instead of GPU. So, it will be laggy if the processor is not powerful enough.

I personally prefer HW+.
Enable HW+ from Decoder Settings. If you are on Lollipop (5.0) or newer android version, enable Alternative HW+ as well. Most of the time, HW+ works better than anyother decoder.

Thanks both for the tips .
The only problem I sometimes have on my Minix Neo U1 is that when a video plays , unless I choose sw decoder at the top of the video screen I will occasionally get the audio playing very echoed unless sw decoder is used .
The videos play smooth with HW + but audio isn't played right .
Bh ghe wqy , The Minix is a great player and can handle files 8gb plus and also 4k easily.
So not sure why the audio likes sw decoder !
Anything i can try ?
Thanks again .

If it's so, just enable SW audio in decoder settings. It will enable SW for all videos.

Phone: Google Pixel XL
Android 7.1.1
Stock ROM
MX Player v1.8.10
MX Player Custom Codec installed, HW+ encoding enabled
Ok so here's the thing, when i play a HEVC video (any resolution,8 bit or 10 bit doesnt matter either) it plays fine as long as i dont try to forward/seek. As soon as i do that, my phone crashes and reboots. This happens on HW+, but not on SW. Also, i thought the Pixel had hardware decoding for HEVC but im not able to play the video in HW decoder in MX Player.
Since the phone crashes, i dont think i can gather any logs either. Any help ?

Regarding HW+ crash, it needs logs to be collected from ADB as a system reboot will erase everything. I will ask the developer to check it out as I don't have a pixel device to test it out.
Regarding HW issue, are you playing a HEVC on MKV container..? If it's so, It's an issue which is to be solved by google. HW decoder is wrapper of Android Mediappayer API. On Nexus/Pixel devices Google doesn't implemented HEVC on mkv container. If you just remux it to mp4 (I mean without re-encoding), the video can be played in HW. So, MX Player has nothing to do with HW decoder.

Try again after enabling Alternative HW+.
Based on another report on another thread, It's basically a firmware issue & user has mentioned that leaked Nougat build has fixed the issue. Just be patient till the next system update.

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

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.

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.

I won't be using this app anymore. I need mpeg2. Period.
No reason to have this app without it.
No time to root my android tablet or play little games with codecs.

Hi.
Recently bought H96 Max TV-Box and installed MX Player Pro on it.
But player can't play HEVC H265 videos in HW mode.
When trying to switch to HW mode it says it is not supported.
HW+ option is greyed out(not available) at all.
Currently using SW method but video playback is very bad with this method and it is impossible to watch with this method.
TV-Box based on RK3399 processor that claims full H265 hardware decoding support and I know it does because built in players can handle this file without problem with smooth playback.
How can I get smooth hardware decoding in player at this device?
hi, I'm going to receive this TV Box as well,
have you solved this problem? I'm a bit afraid of that...

Hi,
Actually, the issue is that system decoders in your device do not report that they can support HEVC 10bit profiles. So, MX Player does not try the hardware accelerated playbacks as several devices are known to crash when force decoding 10bit HEVC & H.264.
Based on some feedbacks from the users like you, we have decided to make this logic as optional. From 1.9.19, even if the device doesn't explicitly report it's capabilities, MX Player will list the HEVC 10bit & H264 10bit on HW+ Video Codecs list on Settings > Decoder. It can be enabled with a warning. Once you enable the HEVC 10bit or H.264 10bit, it will be tried in both HW & HW+.
We have already started rolling out the new version in stages. If you haven't received yet, you can manually grab the apk from our wesite & try yourself. Kindly leave a feedback after testing the same in your device.
