Hi,
I want to have a link to a radiostation (sorry, I'm not allowed to post the URL, it is an mp3-file) on the desktop (homescreen) and when I klick on this link I want, that MX plays it. I can open this URL direct in MX, but I can not find how I can create such a link. Is this possible?
Thank you,
Magistus...
PS: Sorry for my bad english!

Unfortunately, MX Player doesn't have any desktop widgets.
However, you could probably simulate what you want by using Tasker and creating a Tasker process + widget, and using Tasker to access teh MX Player API (here: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api )
If MX Player is able to parse the link then it's likely able to be set as default for it, say if you'd be using the share button for it.
If you're able to open the link with MX Player, you could probably use a custom launcher to make the link a shortcut on your homescreen and use MX Player as default to open it.
I couldn't recommend you a specific launcher for this, I don't use one at the moment. 4 years ago I was doing something similar using LauncherPro, but I'm not sure that's maintained anymore. I'm sure many launchers have built off LauncherPro's source though so I'm sure there'll be a good, free launcher available that does this.
Is there a way I can save and play network stream URLs by name without entering the URLs in the network stream box with the keyboard any time?
Thanks!
Not from within MX Player but you may try using a file explorer to save the URLs in a folder.

I was searching for an add-on or plugin for MX Player by way of trying to find a frontend to accomplish the same thing. I guess I was wishful thinking. Nevertheless, here's a link (replace the two $ signs with dots) to, copy and paste, of a post I made this morning providing a potentially extremely useful alternative: forums.androidcentral$com/samsung-galaxy-note-3/355922-how-can-i-save-network-streams-name-mx-player$html

Please consider implementing user adjustable settings for parameters related to streaming content such as cache size, buffer size, seconds to wait for connection time out, etc. The Android app from team48dreams has an internet radio section that can, handle pls, m3u, asf and perhaps other playlist formats for streaming media, for example.
thats would be really great - I miss this feature - thats the only reason why I use still VPlayer...

Hi everyone,
I am watching some streams which require custom http-user-agent. On Windows, using VLC I simply add http URL and with parameter ":http-user-agent=something" (without quotes) and it works. However I couldn't find this option in MX Player -neither on any other player-. Is that even possible?
Thanks

A new option will be added under Settings > General > Http user agent for overriding default user agent.
That would be great ! Thank you very much!

Hey guys!! First of all I just want to thank the developer for doing such an amazing work building the best available video player on andoid, and for free. You rock!
I want to know if there could be a chance to take advantage of root access for being able to browse system folders (like “data”) when manually loading subtitles. In my case, the reason I need this feature is because I’m using MX as default player with Popcorn Time and this app, in my device, only works fine if it’s cache folder is setted to internal data folder (by default). So it downloads the video and subs into that folder, but the subtitles needs to be loaded manually on MX and obviously I can’t do it.
If you think there would be any other way to solve this I’d really apreciate the info.
Greetings to all and thanks in advance for the help!! (and sorry about my english...)
Mx already support root access.

Hey warvevo! Thanks for stopping by. I've tested latest nigthly build, activated root access but still can't browse system folders when loading subtitles. I think the only feature enabled is to read/write/delete on external SD cards. Maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks anyway!!

Hey @josuearisty!!
Like I wrote in my previous post, the reason I need this is because Popcorn Time, in my device, only works with default cache folder path which is "data/data/pct.droid/cache". It stores video and subs into that folder and while the video is sent automatically to MX with an http server, subs needs to be loaded manually so, if I'm not able to browse that folder I have to download them separately which is really annoing.
Thanks anyway for the info. :good:

Tried it. When I select data folder in browser, it doesn't get into it, in fact, It doesn't do anything... :crying:
Same thing as when I try to browse into that folder while loading subs. Like if the browser doesn't have root access.

MX Player will ask root permissions only when it executes some editing operations (like delete, rename) in sdcard. It will not use it for folder selection activity.

If you add the entire root or data partition, it will impact media scanner's performance. So, It's not suitable for everyone. Only experienced users can make use of it. Better to have it as an optional.
Anyhow I will try to convey your request to the developer.

Thank you so much @ktsamy!! I really only need this function in the browser that's called when loading subtitles as, for the video, Popcorn Time uses a stream which is automatically sent to the player. But I don't know if this needs to be "activated" on media scanner too. I mention it just in case.
Greetings and thanks again for your help!!

If you are streaming from external app, it's better to contact the application developer to use MX Player API to easily stream the subtitle together.

Here is the Bug Report generated by the app. I've now downloaded the Popcorn Time source from Git and compiled with some little modifications but I still can't get subtitles to load automatically on MX. I've tried with Uri and direct "subs.srt" file path (wich is stored in mnt/sdcard/Download folder) but no luck. If you have something to recommend please let me know and I'll try.
Thanks!!

Just Try the following method for HW decoder.
HTML:
Live TV
You can use "2" for SW & "4" for HW+.
On older android devices, If HW+ is not enabled, It may switch to the next decoder (i.e SW)

MX Player uses String Array for Headers. Unfortunately, There is no way to pass the string array from the web page.

Sorry for resurrecting the topic, but I'm afraid that's the only mention of this on all the internet...
But four years later, still is there no way to pass headers by Intent URL scheme?
I wish there was some string fallback, something like S.headers='Origin%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&Referer%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Findex'
Wouldn't it be possible?
Thank you for this awesome app! Best regards.
