In Firefox you can longpress on a link and get a menu that offers "open with app" When the link is to a video file, the list used to include MX player. It no longer does.
Perhaps MX player isn't registered properly as a video player target? How would I fix this?
This is on a brand new Samsung Galaxy S6, so both Firefox and MX were installed last Wednesday and should be up to the latest version.
Thanks,
Ed Greenberg

What's the file format (I mean the file extension)...?
If it's a m3u playlist,
firefox sends standard mime (i.e audio/x-mpegurl). But, audio mime is disabled by default for mx player.
This is basically due to the misuse of m3u extension. m3u is originally designed for audio streaming. later apple has improved it's in Unicode format to stream videos & audio. It's extension is m3u8. Currently people are using m3u for video streaming as well. This is were the issue starts. Since m3u is defined as audio mime only apps with audio mime will be listed.
When you enable Audio Player inside MX settings it will be listed in firefox.
FYI,
m3u related MIMEs are added internally on MX Player's manifests & some additional fixes added to pathpattern based filtering. So, next version of the mx player will add support for m3u without enabling audio player & will fix file association issues caused by poor MIME declaration of many other third party apps.

Helo Developers. Kindly Add two of the Very Needy & Futuristic features in MX Player Pro.
1. The MX Player must be of Floating video player. we can watch videos while playing games or texting to someone. As it is so much needed feature.
2. The MX Player Must Record the Live TV Streams. It should be added.
3. The MX Player Must Support to Save organize the Tv streams List according or desire by user.
I hope so, developers must have keen observation on it. And we enjoy also these features in near future. Thanks.
MX Player Pro V1.9.0 Cannot load display ASS subtitles, request to repair!
Many MKV video subtitles are in ASS format, but the latest version of MX Player Pro doesn't show ASS subtitles .
Only MX Player Pro version V1.9.0 cannot .
My mobile phone is samsung s6 edge. Android 6.0.
After many tests, found that other players and the old version of MX Player Pro can be perfectly normal display ASS subtitles.
So ask the developer to fix this serious problem, or else user can only stay in the old version .

Hi, I'm already try the beta ver. on my xiaomi note 4x. In my case have a little bit difference.
When I streaming the mkv movie to my phone from Synology DS213J. Even LAN or WAN still can not show the ASS/SRT subtitles.
- Both files are same file name.
- mx player and DSM and video station are new ver.
- Already setup the port forwarding in router for DS video.
- UTF-8 subtitles file format
- no subtitle button on mxplayer screen, when I select the subtitles in setting panel try to get it from online, the "Search" was disable. but I save the mkv file in my phone, the "Search" is fine & work.
everything is work in last few month. I don't know which part have a problem.
Thanks for everyone again! :good:

Hi, From where you are playing?
MX Player do not directly support browsing of files on a network stream. So, videos will be never listed on MX Player screen.
Can you colect a bug report immediately after playing the video?

Hi guys I'm very old time to use mx i love it
I want new feature they already provided mx player online on smart phone in india (i dont know about another country) but can we get same feature on smart tv and we also missing mx player cast for google cast and miracast
Anybody knows?
RESPECTED DEVELOPERS OF MX PLAYER,I WANT TO SAY THAT -ADD TO PLAYLIST- OPTION SHOULD BE ADDED IN MX PLAYER OPTION SO THAT AUDIO AND VIDEO CAN BE ADDED TO PLAYLIST OPTION AND THERE IS NO NEED OF CONVERSION OF VIDEO TO MP3 FORMAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I BELIEVE THAT THIS ADD TO PLAYLIST OPTION WILL INCREASE THE DOWNLOADS OF MX PLAYER AS WELL AS CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL BETTER PERFORMANCE AND CREATIVITY OF MX PLAYER...............
this player is great, but without a playlist function (especially for urls) it's simple shocking
