[Resolved] MX Player support for Android 4.4.3

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.

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

Developer is working on it. Will update the app as soon as possible...!!

When will an update be available?
I paid for this app and now cannot use it. When will it be updated?

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.

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.

2 video applications with Search headline issue does. Or other applications that read seek headlines and captions know how to download and unzip the zipper. Therefore, I think that is a problem with your application, and if the problem do not go any other application.

I installed on Lollipop, it won't find my purchase and closes. Had to revert to Play Store pro version.

It keeps telling me the neon codec is not installed. When I install the codec from the play store it says its outdated

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.

You might have installed x86 version.

Both has inbuilt neon codecs.

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

The location of library files is standard.
Kindly install mx log collector from play store.
Just open mx player.
When you get the error close it.
Immediately open mx log collector.
Save the logs & upload here.

Have you tried clearing playstore data and rebooting? Also make sure you have sufficient storage left on android data partation.

Hmm, nothing in particular comes to mind, but I did find this related Google forum thread: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/GzAJgihvQpo
That and, wat warvevo said.

I've been hunting around for answers since I've been getting this same Google Play -8 error since I reinstalled my ROM. Previously, I'd had MX and MX Pro both installed - great for playing music behind podcasts and audiobooks using the multiple instances! Now when I have one installed, Google Play goes to install the other and throws this code. As the workaround seems to be to install an older version first and then let Google Play auto-update it - which is what happened before, I'd installed the then-current MX version which Google Play later updated automatically - it would seem that the new MX Player updates are having difficulty avoiding conflict with MX Pro. I can only seem to get one or the other installed at a time.

That's exactly what I found. Had both players installed and suddenly had problems even though they had been working fine in the past. Deleted one of players and then it worked fine. Thank you for your reply.

Honor 6 Plus - Podcast Playback Issues

Hi all,
I updated my Honor 6 Plus PE-UL00 to EMUI 4.0.1 and Android 6.0 a while back. However, since the update I am no longer able to use any podcast app. Specifically my go to podcast app Podcast Addict. Previous to the update the app worked perfectly.
The problem is that any podcast will only play for a few minutes before stopping and will not continue playing or will restart playing from the beginning (for the first few minutes). I have tried downloading a podcast and playing it offline and this has also not worked. I have also tried going between versions of the Podcast addict app and trying a number of different apps and this has not been successful.
I emailed the creator of the app and have been told that the playback is handled by the phones build in player and there may be a bug there.
Any help appreciated!
Iain

Try adding it to the Protected apps in Phone manager because the app is being killed when the phone goes into standby mode.

BUG: Viewed videos not showing different colour in List view

Running 1.10.47, played videos are the same colour/tone as non-played videos, previously they were a different shade of grey. Nothing changed with a tablet I've used MXPlayer on for years.

Thanks for reporting the issue. It will be fixed in the next update. Stay tuned for further updates

You can install the beta 1.10.50 to get rid of the Bug:
Sorry, cant post the full link. Got to apkmirror and search vor mx player > Show variants > MX Player 1.10.50 beta (arm-v7a) (Android 4.0+)
I installed it too, as without the indication its annoying.

Sorry for long wait As the updates are rolled out in phases, it may take a while to reach everyone. We have just rolled out to everyone now. Please check the Google Play Store again to get the latest version for your device.
