Hi,
According to AndroidPolice and other sources (sorry, can't link), Android 4.4.3 is coming.
Will MX Player work on this version or is an update necessary?
Thanks!
Sure, no reason why it should not work. MX Player requires Android 2.1 and above...

I can't add a link because I'm a new user, but there was a relatively long delay (more than a week if I understand correctly) until Android 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 support was added when they were released. Users got a dialog saying "Unsupported android version" and MX Player wouldn't load. Only when MX Player v1.7.21 was released it started working again.
You can Google "mx player unsupported android version" for references.
I just want to know the current version already supports Android 4.4.3 or is it going to show the same error.

Actually that was not a version issue but an incompatibility issue with Android internal module.
MX Player uses many Android private modules to improve playback performance.
Sometimes this private modules changes and then this message will be showed up.
In that case, audio module was changed so the developer has been forced to rewrite entire audio output codes.
That's why there was a delay.
MX Player will be compatible with android 4.4.3 if there is no major changes in Internal Module.
ktsamy is correct. Even if the developer ( @bleu8888 ) were to force compatibility, it could potentially result in no audio at all for example.
In previous versions, most problem was from incompatibility of audio output module.
With the latest version of MX Player, the compatibility was improved. Therefore I hope it works without additional patch.
There is of course no way to say for sure but going by the details that were leaked this will be a minor update and certainly not a big overhaul.
I doubt android devs will have tampered with those modules again since quite a few apps rely on those and it's not worth breaking compatibility again unless they're having to make some major changes.
[WIP] Unsupported Android Version Error on 4.4.3
..so please update the app to support it! Getting the typical "Unsupported android version" message.

Google keeps on changing it's internal modules. That's why we are facing problems. Wait for the update.

Would you send system log using MX log collector after launching MX Player and getting "unsupported.." message?
4.4.3 is not yet available either on my device and Android emulator.
MX Log collector is available on Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.logcollector

I got upgrade myself. Please don't send log.

Definitely does not work in 4.4.3. In fact it is the only app of the 189 that I've opened tonight on my phone that doesn't work in 4.4.3. All 188 other apps at least open.

I've been using BS player whenever a new version of Android comes out and therefore MX stops working.
I can never remember which version of vlc works on my phone.

MX Player relies on lot of android's internal modules for better performance. In the last update there was a change in audio module which was preventing the player from run.
This time it's graphics module which prevents the mx from run.
As I already said, the developer is already working on it. it will be patched as soon as possible.

Trivia question for you: when was the last update to Android that didn't break mx?
The speculation on the old mx support forum whenever there was a new version was that mx would automatically stop working whenever a new version came out - in other words, it was testing version numbers. Is this not true?
Nexus 5
Confirmed.
MX Player not working on Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.3.
Using built-in Video player till updated version is released.
Just done a factory reset to clear the bugs but I have found a small problem with video playback using the stock player & a restricted profile.
My daughters video collections on the sd card, I can view and hover with playback but it will not let me click on the file unless I am in a full account. As soon as I create a restricted account it refuses to allow me to playback video. It works fine in MX player but try telling a 4 year old to use something new..
Is there anything I can do to get this working ?
Thanks.
Here's an idea

I'm sorry but I have no idea how to solve this, since I have no experience with restricted profiles. However, I have a solution if you are looking for a kids mode, which may or may not solve your issues.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiddoware.kidsplace&hl=en
That's a kid mode app that you can be password protected, you can either run it on your own account or perhaps integrate it as the launcher for your daughter's profile, I don't know if it will work that way but it is worth a try.
The reason I think this may work is because the developer also makes a video player that integrates with the app, and the description mentions it reads external storage. Due to the changes with Kitkat, I don't know if it still works perfectly (although from what I understand the changes with Kitkat were regarding write, so maybe reading the video files might still work), but it's worth a shot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiddoware.kidsvideoplayer&hl=en
Hope it works!
Thanks, I already have MX player but she loves the preview the stock player has. I am backing up 60gb of vids to format the card as it has a wobbly even renaming folders while in her profile, I think that may be part of the issue so I will try the obvious 1st
oh well, this is a confirmed bug. formatted the sd card, stuck 1 video back on and still can't play it.
MX Player Develepor (@bleu8888) has published a new aplha version on the official website.The first alpha version of 1.8.x is mainly having fixes for Android 6.

Are you kidding?
The online subtitle download feature is implemented before 5 months & you are claiming that it was broken from 4 months. As far as I know it was broken from Oct.
Regarding this issue I have already contacted the MX Player Developer. He has already contacted opensubtitles.org team. The issue is from their end. It will be resolved as soon as they fix from their end.

Is the audio sync feature added.If it is not please add it.
I think I may have solved the problem. I had the last nightly from a while back installed. When the new version couldn't check and closed, after installing the Play Store pro version I then installed this nightly again and it worked.

Can you check it again. Without any updates the subtitle search function has started working again. I have personally checked.
As I posted earlier It was the opensubtitle.org issue. When they fixed it, it automatically started working again.

I installed the first link. That's why its weird. On my other devices it works fine but on one tablet it gives me that error.
On that device (android 4.1) I get that error, on other devices (> 4.1) it is all good. I think Mxplayer is looking for the neon libs in the wrong folder, since in android <=4.1 libs are in a different folder than in newer versions

Same problem with me, hope the new update for MX Player
Kodi also cannot access files. However X-plore app is able to browse through the files in the hard disk.
Hopefully we can get some support for this problem.
@oroboros74 @sreecalicut @teru2botzu @Emi68
The error no 2 in Linux denotes that there is no such file/directory exists.
This problem is basically due to the firmware bug. In our tests, most of the file managers have failed to list the files. Some file manager may only work if you grant the exclusive access to the USB device. They will mount with their own drivers. But, the files will not be accessible for other apps. Only very few apps are working without any special permissions. We will investigate further for the possible workarounds.

MXPlayer's main competitor, VLC has figured out how to do this properly with Oreo (VLC also has Oreo's picture-in-picture). For now Mibox users (and other Android TV 8+ users?) can migrate to VLC.
I can confirm X-plore and MiXplorer both work as expected wrt external storage usage.
Hopefully MX Player can catch up to Android O (now that P is coming out)!
I found a workaround to watch the files in MX Player, not a solution but still I can watch my stuff.
I use the ES File Explorer to browse the drive and chose Mx Player as default player, so far it works

Even ES file explorer show as blank until or unless you grant the exclusive access to control the USB drive. When you give exclusive access, the drive is mounted using ES's own drivers. Not the system default one. The drive won't be visible to any apps. We will try to escalate this issue with xiaomi team.
Before update 6 version perfectly saw all hard drives with NTFS. After update 8 version writes"cannot recognize drive". This is a mockery of customers. Nothing more to buy XAOMI!
We are investigating further for a possible workaround for this firmware bug. We will try our best to get it resolved at the earliest.

I don't like VLC user interface, the problem is why VLC can read external storage but MX Player can't do that. Until now I am still used MX Player, I open with File Commander, sorry for my poor English.

Update July 6 2018:
The developers of the implementation of the Android TV for the Mi BOX today are working on a new beta and apparently they already fixed the NTFS problem as well as a HDCP 2.2 problem, and they are working on fixing a number of different bugs.
The beta testers group is now closed but, sadly even when the beta where ready the Google Certification takes 1 month minimum

It's already shared with our Private Testers. We will try our best to make it available at the earliest.
fingers crossed and let's hope fixed soon
Well, after trying to debug why Kodi was not recognizing my 5TB Seagate portable HD's for the past 8 hours I am at least happy to have found this thread and hear that Xiaomi has fixed the problem. Not very happy that we have to wait months for Google certification before we can get a fix though.
I currently have 4 MiBox devices that I use as Kodi media centres. The first two I bought in May and they came with Marshmellow and they both worked perfectly. The last two I purchased in July and they came with Oreo pre-installed, but unlike my Nvidia Shield, the Kodi app will not read the HD with all my media content which makes these devices unusable to me. So now I have to return the last 2 Miboxes to Wal-Mart and wait until an update is available for download. Very disappointed that I am not even able to revert back to the Marshmellow version that worked.
I have now learned something about AndroidTV... I thought it was the greatest thing. Now that I see Google has implemented its DRM into AndroidTV by forcing users to re-format their external HD's to secure downloaded content aka preventing you from copying your paid stuff to other devices...I won't be promoting it anymore. When reformatting your external HD it even tells you that you cannot even use it on another device meaning it's impossible to update your media library, same as the Xbox.
@Thirumalai.K - Is there an easy way to get notified when the next update will be available for everyday users?

Mibox just received an update today which seems to have fixed the external drive problem... Still hoping for PiP support from MxPlayer before the next big thing comes out.

We have investigated from our end. But, couldn't reproduce the issue.
Have you rooted the device and changed anything on system partition?
In your logs, we have noticed crashes on some other media related system libraries as well.
We have checked on the Google Play data as well. There weren't any similar crashes reported on the nexus player. MX Player uses several android internal modules for performance reasons. Since you are facing the issues with even older versions, it looks like some firmware bug triggers the issues on MX and some other system libraries that rely on some particular modules. can you please update your firmware to the latest and check again? It may fix your issues.

No I haven't rooted anything, not even sure how to do that. Just installed the Android TV and added apps. Using a third party launcher called 'Top TV Launcher 2'. Also have VLC and mpv players (both work fine)
When you say firmware, are you referring to the computer BIOS or the Android TV? Both are at the latest version I can find, which is not that easy to find for Android TV. Can you PM me a link to the version you are using and I will try it. Thanks.

Are you using the android TV firmware on the PC? Can you provide us more info?
As we have mentioned, MX Player uses several android internal modules to improve the performance. So, if some system module is broken on your Android TV ROM, it will affect the apps that make use of them.
Yes, the Android x86 for PC is the base OS on the PC. I tried other flavors of Android TV and MX Player doesn't work on any of them. I even tried using a different PC with different specs with same results. MX Player crashes as soon as it displays an image or plays any media.
Bump... MX Player still not working. Where do we go from here?
All the Android x86 for PC OS'es are already rooted. None of them will run MX Player. Also Amazon Prime Video and Google Video fails exactly the same way. They must use the same libraries that MX uses. What logs or info can I upload to get this resolved?
All other apps I have tried work fine. VLC, MPV, Archos, ES Player, Kodi.
Any help on this is appreciated. Tell me what logs or info I can upload.
How can I see which modules are crashing? I am not that familiar with the Android OS. Minimal Linux knowledge and a guru with Windows.
Here are the debug logs

Since it's a crash caused by the android internal libraries, it is very difficult to fix this until or unless we find a way to reproduce. Unfortunately, we couldn't still figure out a way to reproduce the issue. We have even tested on the Android x86 (7.1-r2 from http://www.android-x86.org). But, MX Player works as expected. Have you tried this one on your PC?
Yes I have this is the one I am using right now, so I have to assume it is a hardware/driver related issue. I am using a Dell Optiplex 9010 with i5-3570 4GB memory and 128GB SSD drive. What are the specs of the hardware you have used and I will try to duplicate it?
One other clue is that besides MX Player Pro, Amazon Prime video and Google video also crash as soon as you try to open a video. VLC, MPV, Kodi, ES Player, EXO, and Archos all work fine. I am sure the issues are related.
