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...

Please, change the HTTP User-Agent to something less malware-like than a space.
MX Player would be fine or maybe just Linux/Android for some obscurity.
This could be easily done and it would prevent us getting blocked by some sites/CDNs and even false IDS alerts.

MX Player uses Linux/Android style and MX Player/<version> style user agent.
But ads network may use different value. I will check it out.
Thanks

I don't think it's the ads network:
Code:
GET./480p/{file}.mp4.HTTP/1.1
.User-Agent:.
.Accept:.*/*
.Range:.bytes=36151293-
.Connection:.close
.Host:.{domain}
.Icy-MetaData:.1
I tap on a video link in the browser and open it in MX Player, so I'm not starting anything directly.
Also I don't think Chrome proxies the request (like ES File Exp.) but even if it does it would use it's own UA.
Thanks.

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...)

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!!

Will you save some video file in system folders?
I dont think its nessesary. Root access is for getting the avility to del or ren im kitkat.

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.

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.
MX Player API documentation is available here

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!!

@emacrack The log actually does not show anything about playback screen. Please make note that ActivityScreen dumps passed extras.

I have a galaxy S5. Is it correct that I no longer need a separate plugin app for hardware decoding ?

1. DTS is licensed; install the custom codec: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254
2. I don't have any problems, sounds like a Play Store sync issue, possibly. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/faq-purchase-history-error-t2908179
I don't talk about the sound !
I am talking about popup message that shutdown the player ! because I don't have internet now to check the validate version
why this message appear Constantly and my app is purchased already !

Indeed, it is on the feature requests list thread, and the developer is working on it as one of the planned "major" features.
Hi ladies and gents...
Please I am having a problem plz help me, I have been trying to figure up how to set #MX_Player to player the Next video instead of returning to the list after playback is finished.

Questions for the MX-perts:
I used to be able to stream .m3u8 video streams on my nexus 9 however, shortly after upgrading to MX Pro, I receive the "unable to play this file" error.
- Any changes to MX codecs?
- I have tried SW, HW, & HW+ settings.
- I can still play m3u8 videos with the stock video player, but it stinks without any customization.
- Lastly, I have tried the neon.1.7.32.rev1codec zip with a new MX Pro installation.
I'm still getting the "unable to play this file" error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Is .m3u8 still listed there? Also, isn't that a playlist file?
As far as I'm aware, @bleu8888 has said that .m3u8 isn't officially supported yet.

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)

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.
