Dear Devs,
I've encountered a strange behavior when I playing MKV file from SMB through ES File Explorer. MX Player begin playing fine with HW/HW+, but when I pause for a long time, for example: receiving a call for 5 minutes or longer, MX Player can't resume smoothly. It start lagging, and freezing in both video and audio more than 2 minutes. But if I press back and re-tap file from ES File Explorer to resume, MX Player resumes in few seconds.
I don't know if this is normal and could MX Log collector can get some logs? If need log or media info, I will try to get them when I come home tonight.

It's a known issue with the ES file explorer. There is a pocket drop. Can you try any other apps which can stream?
I personally use FX file explorer or BubbleUPnP & never had such issues.

I can't find SMB connection in FX File Explorer, does SMB in PLUS addon?
Does MX player have internal SMB protocol support?
When playing SMB file through ES, data comes to MX through ES's SMB protocol?
That's why the ES cause the lag, right?

Yes. ES uses it's SMB protocol & stream the video using localhost url.
Fx needs plus add on for network features.

Got it, I'll try FX File Explorer tonight and report back here.
Thanks for your tip.
Hi @ktsamy,
I've tested FX last night and it doing well.
But MX player can't resume from FX.
Every time I start a file from FX it will start from beginning.
Could you help to verify this?
MX from ES can resume playing.

Hi,
after finding that awesome ES FILE EXPLORER,
i've managed to connect smoothly to my windows desktop, and by using
MOBO Player, even to play my .avi in a split of a second....but.......
for some reason it doesnt read the subtitle (located in the same folder with the same name of course)
is it a problem of the mobo player? cause i think that locally it can use the subtitle.
if not, can u please recommend on some other player that will support the streaming including subtitles?
thanks.
Slahtop HD works well, sxcept fhe audio is 250ms out of sync.
I cannot recall the features of MoboPlayer, but I use DicePlayer, and there you can select a subtitle manually in the case the program is not able to locate it automatically.

I must ask, did you actually time the off-sync?
I am using ed file Explorer coupled with mx player and my. My files seem to stream very slowly from my computer. Anyone have any ideas how to increase the buffer? They are cached on an ssd and it does not make sense that I am having such a slow down.
There is a similar report over here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52331493
As per the report there is a pocket drop between ES to MX. Try some other file msnagers.
It may fix the issue.

I use File Manager HD for the same purpose and it works perfectly. I have a link to the network folder with my videos on the homescreen and it opens as instantly as any other map.
Seeking through videos is almost as smooth as local files, but that might be because it is actually on an external HDD, it may even be a lot faster on an internal SSD.
yeah it ges a lot of hiccups is there a better video player than MX Player with a longer buffer?
I use Root Explorer to get videos off an SMB network drive and it's also reasonably smooth.
When you use root you can't stream though correct? I have root Explorer as well.
... What do you mean by that? You can add an SMB address to Root Explorer by adding a new tab.
subtitles!

Just switched to Root Explorer!
Streaming is a lot smoother via Root Explorer for me...
However, MX player doesn't automatically pick up the subtitles like it used to do on ES..
Anyway around that? Because i can't browse to the SMB drive via the Subtitle panel of Mx Player..
Checked the same file via ES, worked perfectly...
Extra info: The file name is the same(exactly the same)..for both the video and the .srt file...
Am i doing something wrong?? Please Advice! I really need subtitles..:crying::crying::crying:
I'm not sure if it can pickup on external subs via network stream as I've never tried before; all my videos have embedded subs.
If you're big on network playback, I suggest trying BubbleUPNP DLNA app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118891
As I know, MX Player supports SMB if started from programs like ES Explorer. But today i had to deal with network share, that requires authentication. MX didn't asked me about credentials, but instead failed to open file. Hence my feature request: add SMB authentication.

MX Player doesn't support network shares directly. As you said other apps can forward the url to MX Player. So that it can be played. I am using MX Player to play videos from "Protected" network shares. But, never had an issue.
Can you collect the logs immediately after playing the file & upload here.?

Looks like first failed attempt can be due a bug on ES Explorer side.
Initializing reproduction from ES Explorer or DS Files works, but on my smartphone and on my Minix android media station the experience is worse than MX file browser.
For instance MX integrated file browser would:
- remember last file played or what's new and what's not
- be easily browsed with a tv remote
- easily allow to delete watched files
- remember last position of a movie to resume
therefore it would be very nice to add SMB folders to the interface folders!

SMB support is already there in our roadmap. We will try our best to make that possible at the earliest.
Hello, I use the software version 1.7.40. When you try to listen to audio with home network storage (NAS), noticed an unpleasant feature - After playing the selected mp3 file is not played back next. The screen returns to the installation directory. However, if the folder the video files, switch to the next without any problems.
I often listen to music from your NAS using mx player, would love to have you implemented the function to move to the next mp3 file.
It would also be nice if you implemented the function go to the next folder after the playback of the current file. For example for nonstop play all the albums any band... and then all albums of all bands. Thank you!
MX currently does not have SMB read-ahead.

Hallo,
I use mx player as an artist.
But there is a problem.
I play mpg files directly from es file.explorer.
When I press the back button during playback, in order to go back to es file explorer to find the next track, mx player pauses performance for a.split second.
It was not like that a year ago but since 6 months there is this .
Hi I buy pro version
1-I try to open some video ext like .mpeg and it show not supported. And .rm file it show sound not support
2- some video file show small display. Why? How to fix it ?

Thanks
