Hi--I have used this a long time, suddenly it has become non-functional, I suspect due to the 1.7.32 update, but not sure.
--Android 4.3 (I've avoided 4.4 to retain full functionality of the SD card...)
--MX Pro 1.7.32
--Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014
--Could not follow directions for alogcat because the nature of the problem makes MX unuseable once it crashes--there is no way to hit the "settings" button in MX Player Pro at that point.
PROBLEM
So, I bring up my file list as per normal. I click on a vid. The vid does not play. In fact, there is merely a blank screen. Eventually I'm returned to the home screen of the tablet and advised that MX Player has crashed. Sometimes, I don't even get the blank screen. It just automatically disappears and returns me to the tablet's home screen. Once that happens, the program never works again (until reinstalled or data cleared) and won't even let me into the program. Clicking its icon simply brings up a blank screen, then I get "Unfortunately, MX Player Pro has stopped..."
Troubleshooting
I have tried clearing cache, data and also reinstalling. The last two DO allow me to once again bring up the File List from "folders view." It looks normal once again. However, once I try to play vids, the same, exact result occurs, i.e., nothing actually plays and the program crashes with the screen going blank.
CLUES
a) I also have this on my phone, where it continues to work fine, but on my phone, I only have a handful of FLVs. The tablet has lots of other formats, primarily mp4. On my Note 4 phone, however, I'm running 4.4 KitKat.
b) If I access the video in a roundabout fashion, by clicking on it from a File Manager, the File Manager then offers to play it with the native vid player OR Mx Player. Then, it works fine. The exact same video. Of course, then I can't access any other parts of the MX P program, and I am no longer able to use the file list Mx Player P builds.
c) I tried playing with various settings, like hardware decoder, and what not, but it did not seem to help much.
My thought is that the version supporting Lollipop has done something that Samsung does not like in conjunction with 4.3
Any thoughts welcomed. TIA

Already there is a sticky thread in which I have already explained the procedure to collect the log immediately after crash.
Install MX Log collector app
Open It immediately after the MX Player Crash
Save the logs & Upload here
Does it crashes in all decoders?
If you are using H/W+ disable it & Check again.
long press the video & select Play using | S/W decoder
Check whether it still crashes or not.

It does not matter whether or not I use HW or SW decoding.
I upgraded the tablet to KitKat. That did not matter either.
I tried to upload the log files from MX Log here. Each time (3x now!) it gave me "invalid file" and refused to accept the upload. Oh, well.

It would not let me post links even with asterisks. I took out the http in its entirety. That didn't work either. I took out the dropbox reference as well. That did not work either. Have no clue at this point.

FYI, just in case it helps, not as a "zing," BS Player works fine and normally. MX continues to work (on tablet and despite recent updates) only when a file is clicked from My Files file manager. It just won't deal with its own list of videos.

@monsieurms There was an issue on Note 10.1 2014 European ROM and it might be fixed on 1.7.34
Please try latest version also try clear app data, MX Player's internal database looks like corrupted. This issue is also fixed but once corrupted database will never be recovered.

@monsieurms Would you send log again using 1.7.34? Thanks!
Given your comment on list db corruption and the fact that some vids in small directories do work, I tried copying all the vids to a new directory. That didn't work.
I cleared data again and also downloade the arm7 Neon custom codec specified in the Decoder settings. That did not help either. (It did find and install the codec.)
With the clues you gave me, I experimented a little. In particular, I noticed that some vids in small folders (small in terms of # of videos), played fine. I thought at first, as mentioned earlier in the thread, it was a difference in format. But as we've seen, all the videos play fine if accessed from File Manager--so that's not it. With the addition of your clue on database corruption, I thought perhaps the issue was folder size. I divided the one large folder into two, 50-50. That fixed it.
I would say you have still an issue here---the program chokes with a large of vids in the database. It doesn't seem to bother other programs, including the native video player and BS, and it didn't seem to bother MXp Pro until the recent wave of updates. So, I suspect something went wrong somewhere.

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.

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.
Each time I power my Android TV stick (Jelly Bean) on, having set MX Player to be the default player, I am asked by every app to select a player as default, it will then remember my choice, until I turn the Android off, them when I turn it on, the default setting is not remembered and I have to set it again. This happens only with MX Player.
I have tried clearing defaults, clearing data and uninstalling and re-installing.
It started after either of the last two updates.
Can you help?
Many thanks,

If I am not wrong, MX player is nothing to do with default app selection.
Android controls the default app to be used. If you select always when the app list appears it will be remembered till you manually clear the default or till a new application istalled which can be associated with the same extension.
If it's not remembered even after selecting always, or being reset after restart then there may be chances of bugs in your android rom.

That's the problem, it doesn't remember, and it only happens with M Player, and since the most recent updates, the android has never had a problem until then, nor has it with any other app, the button to clear the defaults listed under the MX Player is apps will be active once the 'select always' has been chosen, once it is switched back on it will not remember. Again i saw this is only with MX Player, not the android software, as it does NOT happen with any other, so its unlikely to be the ROM.
Can you advise any steps that may fix this problem?
Will resetting the Android do it?
Will a re-install fix?

Clear data & uninstall
Reinstall from play store.
If you still encounter the problem,
Try to download the old version which is worked well earlier and check whether it's working currently or not?
If the old version is still working then report here with the working version number. It will be helpful to identify the problem.
Just to add my experience here:
My Android 4.2.1 has been doing this also - and only since I updated to the Pro version from 1.7.35 release.
I've been trying to track down the reason - and recently read that the Pro release can have an issue where ALL settings are lost due to a flaw in Android
but in my case all other settings are remembered.
I reinstalled, I reset my Android TV, I only loaded two apps - MS Player and ES file explorer - I reset it again and formatted the SD memory card,
but it is still happening.
I select the default player for all the filetypes to be MX Player and it remembers it - but at some stage it will ask to select the media player app again
and my TV only has the web browser and MX Player shown - as I select the media from a HTTP server on my local machine.
The free ad-supported version didn't show this problem.
I'm just adding this in case someone recognises the symptom - and my Android system is terribly locked down Kogan 47" Agora Smart TV - in Australia.
I will roll back to the ad-supported version and report back in a few weeks (If I forget and someone is interested then please reply to remind me)

Just updating the thread: It's a week later and the issue hasn't re-occurred with the ad-supported version of MX Player V1.7.37
If others can report their Android version then it may show if it is a flaw in specific versions.

If anyone is still reading this thread, a workaround to this very annoying problem, is with root, freeze all other video players, then Android has no choice but to use the one you left unfrozen, as the default, without asking
Thanks for your reply, Detection. It may help others,
I will add here that my Android machine is locked down and doesn't give Root permissions, but I also want to say
that my TV has problems with every other paid app I have tried (random rebooting, slow, flaky).
I have reformatted and tested a number of times, and loading a paid app causes it to do these things. My Android version is speshul.
Free ad-supported apps work quite well - something to do with authentication is borked.
I'm having an issue similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/bug-mx-player-responding-t2856695 - but instead of pausing video, if I press the Back button or the device home button, MX Player hangs on a white screen. I have to attempt a hard-restart to get back to the home screen, then manually dismiss the device.
Running a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 with AllianceROM.
I saved a report with MX Log Collector but I can't find it - where on the device does it save the report? I'll upload and link it.

It's been fine on Alliance ROM since several versions ago - I got it about a week after the S5 came out. Moreover, it's now failing to load.
I uninstalled, reinstalled, and it comes up, plays, but if I press Back during playback, it keeps playing audio. I had to pull the battery to get it to stop.
Now, it exhibits the failure to start. Even after another reboot, still fails.
I downgraded to .29, and I don't have any issues - I've disabled automatic updating so I can at least function in the meantime.
Log attached from when I launched MX Player and it failed to load on latest version.

Nope, the ROM is AllianceROM, but it's basically the stock S5 ROM with the Samsung apps and crap removable by the end-user. It's more or less if you gotta have Touchwiz (I've got a Galaxy Gear, so yeah, that's a requirement) but if you don't want S this, S that, etc.
What would you like to know about the media? I mentioned before it's h264 encoded MKVs and standard AVIs - really old AVIs, like upwards of probably 10ish years old, but I can get more.

Hi,
I use MX on a Minix 8HPlus, to play videos on big screen. I use FTPDroid to push and delete videos on the device. Unfortunately there is no option in MX Player to refresh*automatically the folder. The result: MX keep in its memories the previous videos list and try to read files already deleted. Regularly I have errors «*impossible to read this video*» .
Moreover I’ve noted that «*random mode*» is not really random. I have around 90 videos and it seems there is around 10 videos with are played frequently…
1) Could it be possible to add an option in order to refresh automatically the folder every minutes/seconds?
2) Can you tell me if there is an option to "lock" folder that contains videos?I would like MX play videos in specific folders. Currently, MX play them all.
Thanks for your feedback.
Regards.

I'm not sure that this can be done in a sane way that doesn't also unnecessarily keep the CPU awake.. Also I believe @bleu8888 might be considering a file system event detection feature, that will have MX detect file system events, but I'm not sure if he still thinks this is feasible..
Also, should hit the manual refresh button on the video list as well.

1)Power consumption is not a problem for me because the minix is always connected to 220v. I understand my case is specific… I’ve tried to create an action with Tasker but it not works. Manual action is required.
2) Yes, I’ve tried this method but it’s not efficient at 100%. I have to play DIFFERENT videos each month. In order to do that easily, I’ve created several folders named «*september*» «*october 2015*» «*november*» etc.. In those folders I put videos regularly. If we are in september, I would like MX play only «*september*» videos but actually is not the case.
With your method, that means each month I have to specify which folder to scan but I’m not in office every days…
3) Yes, I’ve meant «*shuffle*». sorry for my english. I’ll will try your method and give a feedback here.
Thanks!!!

Hi,
quick feedback about your solutions. I've cannot succeed to use this api. I'm really a newbie with this kind of softaware.
I've selected only the videos I l ike to play and it seems that video are played more randomly. However it's an impression. I can't prove this with stats, facts.
I've found an app which can scan and update libraries on Android. I'll test it.
Xposed Media Scanner Optimizer v. 1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-xposed-media-scanner-optimizer-t2942609
Edit 2: After used Media Scanner I can't see a difference. I have the impression that Android system refresh the library (I can see it in the folder in Mx interface) but MX player can't see it: I still have "unable to read this video" even if the video is still not in the folder...
It seems that MX keep in memories the last file scanned and try to read them.
For random mode, its an impression but it play the same file regurlarly...

File update: In fact, MX Player is monitoring directories to make any changes updated immediately. But directory monitoring API is broken on Android 6 and reported to Android team as an Android bug.
Shuffle: Randomness would be improved on latest nightly build (26-Jan build) since random function is changed to one with cryptographic level. Nightly build can be found on https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
Lock folder: Not supported. I think there might be 3rd party apps having this feature.
Many thanks for your update.

I'm using the beta version (Build date: 25-JAN-2016) and I cannot see improvement on random mode. I have around 120 videos (around 4min) and there is one which have been played twice at 15 min interval.
Can you tell me if there is a way to have a list of all files played, a log ? I feel that random is not really efficient. Always the same videos coming back (I have around 150 files)
This happened when I upgarded to nougat on my s7 edge and now occurs on my s8 plus. The first thing I noticed is that video and image titles have changed to random numbers. The second issue being that the player can no longer skip to the next video [or image] despite being in the same folder. However, these features work inside the stock samsung gallery app. The next video in the queue can be played and titles show appropriately. I do not have encryption on and I've tried a factory reset. Could this be some security measure in nougat / touchwiz or what is going on. Anyone experience this?
Can't skip to next file anymore
Hi there,
I've got exactly the same problem described by fourskim but on a Motorola Moto Play Z with Nougat
I'm not able to skip to the next video in an directory anymore.
It doesn't matter at all, which kind of data manager app i use to get a list of the files and
it doesn't matter if it is an internal directory, or a directory on SD-Card, or on a USB-Stick....
It's not very handy closing the mxplayer after every single file, searching the next file, and start the mxplayer again.
I've got the PRO Version - but it is the same with free Version....
Ne ver had this issue with MXPLAYER all the years before.
Any ideas ?
best regards, wsdweb

It's because nougat changes. It no longer allows the app to pass the file path to external apps. They are forced to use content scheme.
MX Player will receive something like content://com.sample.app/something. When MX Player can't detect the directory, it can't play previous or next videos from that directory.
We are working on that. It will be fixed on upcoming MX Player v1.9.0.
