[Bug Report][Resolved] HW+ stopped working in 1.7.33 - MX Player

HW and software does work in the last MX Player 1.7.33 but not HW+. It was working in the version before.
I lose the audio boost because this, unless I use software decoding. Using Galaxy note 10.1 2014 with Android 4.4.2 installed by Samsung. Reinstalling the codecs doesn't solve it.
Any way to solve it? If not, is there any way to get the version 1.7.32?. I payed the pro version in Google play but even the free version here is only available the version that crashes 1.7.33:
https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/download
I would be happy using the version with ads even I payed the pro as long it doesn't crash.

It seems to be that builds before this 33 were removed because of a license issue with ac3 which have to be removed from now on from mxplayer itself and will be just used with the custom codec.
I can send you a link to download version 32, while this version is being fixed.

Thanks. I used your file and it works again. I have not problem with my Galaxy S5, only with the Galaxy 10.1 note 2014 edition.
I hope this problem can be solved in the future or I will be stuck in that version. I can not find any other player in android remotely as good as this one.

@karlpj Would you send system log after crash using 1.7.33?
Actually not so many codes are changed for HW+ on 1.7.33. It is hard to find the reason because it is not happening on most devices.
Thanks

Included the log as an attachment. I hope this is what you was asking.

The program initially doesn't completely crash, it says: "unfortunately, MX Player Pro has stopped" and returns to the main menu of MX after a while displaying a black screen. If you try again then the program disappear of the screen and returns to the desktop.

No Problem. Done, and I get identical error. The player only works with H/W or software but not with H/W+

It looks an audio problem. I have enable H/W+ video in preferences but forced SW audio and it works, obviously using software audio. If I enable H/W+ audio again it crashes.

Actually there is a mistake in beta download links.
Free version downloads the pro & pro version downloads the free... ? ? ?
Btw, if you are still in beta
Disable "H/W+ decoder"
Enable "H/W+ audio on S/W decoder"
Play the video in S/W and check whether it crashes or not.

I installed the pro version.
Using your instructions it doesn't crash.
But it does as soon I return to H/W video and audio.

What happenes when you directly start playing in H/W?
Does it still crashes?

H/W doesn't crash. Never has crashed in these tests. The problem is with H/W+.
The limitation that I had is that H/W doesn't allow audio boost. Obviously now I can use the workaround of using H/W for video and software for audio, but it is a workaround.
Sorry, it is my fault because I said "But it does as soon I return to H/W video and audio."
I mean "But it crashes as soon I return to H/W+ video and audio."

I have just tested myself. HW+ audio will be used with S/W only when it fails to decode. Since you were testing videos with aac/mp3 audio, it won't use H/W+ audio decoder.
That's why it hasn't crashed for you even after enabling H/W+ audio on S/W decoder.
It will crash only if you play any video with ac3 or dts audio track.
Since H/W+ audio causing issues to some specific devices, I can't reproduce it in my device.
In earlier versions H/W+ was using S/W audio. Till the issue is fixed, you can use H/W+ decoder with S/W audio. So, there won't be any difference in H/W+ decoder.
As you know the developer is already aware of this issue, hope he will fix the issue soon.

Thanks!

Are you using latest firmware? I got an SM-P600 (US edition, though) but can't reproduce this issue throughout 3 firwmare updates from 4.3 to 4.4.2

I have the SM-P600 with 4.4.2 No other firmware is available in UK, at least using the official Samsung update here.

[Bug Report] MX forced rebooting on CM 11!!

I have been using MX player on all my phones since my first phone.
Recently I decided to run Cyanogen 11 custom ROM.
The list of videos displays fine. The player plays a heavily pixelated videos for a few seconds. Then the phone reboots.
The same cycle occurs again if I try to replay.
At first, I doubted my ROM. So I installed all the other video players from playstore. Surprisingly ALL of them play without any issue. Only MX force reboots.
I am running it with default settings. I even changed to SW from HW. Still reboots.
Device : LG L90 D-410
It should be hardware video decoder, I think this is rom related, you should report it to the developer of that rom.

I will soon. But I doubt anything will be done. Because as I said earlier, it ONLY happens with MX player, not any other player. Why such a thing?
Since the phone reboots instantly, I cant take any errors.

That's because MX Player uses custom android-internal modules that most other players don't; it's how MX's performance is superior. If a ROM builder had a compile problem, that's likely the cause.

Though I have only collected logs of my own apps via adb.

It is hard to find reason with the log because only 3 lines are from MX Player.
But it seems that you used HW decoder. HW decoder is just wraper of android.media.MediaPlayer java class.
MX Player does not touch any system internal if HW decoder is used.
In this case, some MediaPlayer function calls -- which is not used by other video players you've tried -- may cause this issue.
I suspect subtitle related function calls, because 1) many video players doesnot use MediaPlayer subtitle functions and 2) there is an error from MediaPalyer; 10-30 23:53:36.478: E/MediaPlayer(6097): Should have subtitle controller already set
If my assumption is correct, SW decoder should work correctly. It would be help if you send log after trying SW decoder.

Enabled full SW decoding.
Disabled subtitle drawing using HW.
Yet only a very few lines from MX !
What puzzled me is the last statement in the log. "AudioFlinger", call the process ID of mx player. And the system reboots.
Logs attached.
Process ID seen in attached pic.

Would you try after turning off "audio fade" settings on Settings > Audio > Fade on start/Fade on seek?
SW and HW decoder both changes volume rapidly to implement this feature.

[Resolved] HTC One M8 HW decoder stops after 2 Secs

Since the AppUpdate to 1.8.6 and the 1.8.6 Codec, the App stopps playback of videos after 2 seconds when using HW decoding, which previously worked.
Any Idea?

I can't reproduce it. I have 4 devices with 1.8.6 & custom codec. Everything works here.
If you are using any patches, it may be the reason.

Usually Patching MX Player to remove ads or to bypass license validation of Pro version it may lead to the similar issue. MX Player will close just after few secs of playback.

I buyed every App i have on my phone, if it is not a free app, im using Xprivacy to stop some apps to talk home etc.
Just saved the settings of MX and trying with cleared settings now.
Edit: Even with cleared settings (over the app and app settings) and with and without codec pack, it skips the playback after 2 seconds with hardware decoding.
Clearing Xprivacy settings now and try again.
Edit2: It keeps skipping/stopping, i downgrade now to an older version, thanks for your help!

What happens with HW+ & SW...?
Which device...?
Have updated your device recently...?
Actually HW decoder is just wrapper of android's mediaplayer API. MX Player have only very few controls over it. If the issue is only with HW decoder it might be system issue.
If the issue persists, just collect the bugreport from help menu immediately after reproducing the issue. Share here. I will check it. If it can't be resolved I will intimate the developer as well.

1. HW+ is missing since the update, SW works. (Setting up to use only SW for decoding has no effect, i must change decode mode while playback the video)
2. HTC M8
3. no system update since month, MX Pro got updated via PlayStore
Can you try that video in stock video player or gallery. It should close the same way as mx closes.
I have faced similar situations in one of my device particularly with a video. Basically it's a system bug. It will start the video at the last frame & close. Only first frame will be shown to the user.
Anyway AFAIK, new HW+ is in testing phase. If everything goes as expected, Soon there will be an update (may be within a week..??) which will enable HW+ on HTC devices & devices running with Nougat.
Edit: @Forsaked
Can you try this..?
Just start the video in SW
Just wait for a minute or seek it.
Now switch back to HW

I have got the same effect with all players now (Stock, MX, ES File Explorer), as you predicted.
Which just worked before updating to 1.8.6, which is a bit confusing.
Waiting or seeking in SW mode and switching back, will also close the video 2 seconds after switching back to HW.
Edit: Clearing cache in recovery now, as mentiont as fix for playback problems with HTC.
Edit2: Clearing cache (also ART/Dalvik) didn't helped!

[BUG] Alternate HW+ Decoder problem

when using the new alternate HW+ decoder no video shows embedded subtitles......... the old hw+ decoder plays the files perfectly with subs but this new one doesn't show subtitles whatsoever........

FYI, now if you disable the subtitle on one video it will be disabled on further playbacks. You have to manually select the subtitle again. Once you select the subtitle it will be enabled everytime till you disable it again.

here is the log......... first i played the video with alternate hw+ and the subtitle didn't show..next i played it with older hw+ and subtitle showed........ then took the report
I cannot remember what video it was, but it was an mkv, when playing a video the subtitles would show even though they were disabled, then if i enabled subtitles i would have two identical sets of subtitles, though one set was a few pixels apart from the other.

Subtitle rendering & Media Playback both are individual functions. It less likely to conflict.
Just downloaded the original video & tested myself. After test & trails I have found that "Improve SSA rendering" option in Settings > Subtitle > Text is somehow affects when using new HW+ decoder for video decoding. Report passed to the developer. Just disable it as a temporary solution till the developer fixes the issue.
Edit: Update from developer
@caspianprince
It's internally fixed & next update will fix the issue with SSA subtitle rendering issue when used with new HW+.

New HW+ is available only to the devices with android 5.0+. Old HW+ method may not be compatible with old devices especially when the android media framework is modified by the OEM or by Rom developer in case of custom rom.

It's not a bug. Android 5.0+ provides a official API to use system decoders in native programming language. When a particular encoding profile is not supported you may still have issues in new HW+ as well.

It looks like a system decoder issue. If it's supported it suppose to be playable in HW decoder. When you have tried HW decoder, it hows thrown a unknown error. Does any other player works? I think that particular video will have issues with every player?

Phone crashes when seeking HEVC

Phone: Google Pixel XL
Android 7.1.1
Stock ROM
MX Player v1.8.10
MX Player Custom Codec installed, HW+ encoding enabled
Ok so here's the thing, when i play a HEVC video (any resolution,8 bit or 10 bit doesnt matter either) it plays fine as long as i dont try to forward/seek. As soon as i do that, my phone crashes and reboots. This happens on HW+, but not on SW. Also, i thought the Pixel had hardware decoding for HEVC but im not able to play the video in HW decoder in MX Player.
Since the phone crashes, i dont think i can gather any logs either. Any help ?

Regarding HW+ crash, it needs logs to be collected from ADB as a system reboot will erase everything. I will ask the developer to check it out as I don't have a pixel device to test it out.
Regarding HW issue, are you playing a HEVC on MKV container..? If it's so, It's an issue which is to be solved by google. HW decoder is wrapper of Android Mediappayer API. On Nexus/Pixel devices Google doesn't implemented HEVC on mkv container. If you just remux it to mp4 (I mean without re-encoding), the video can be played in HW. So, MX Player has nothing to do with HW decoder.

Try again after enabling Alternative HW+.
Based on another report on another thread, It's basically a firmware issue & user has mentioned that leaked Nougat build has fixed the issue. Just be patient till the next system update.

HW+ Issues on MX Player 1.9.7

anyone else get choppy hw+ playback on their oneplus 5? issue disappears completely when using sw or regular hw decoder
I'm finding the MX Player betas are really flakey right now.. The lastest one fixed seeking with the remote control (finally - was broken since the last stable) but somehow broke HW+ decoding on the Nvidia Shield TV, which has always worked flawlessly before.

Anybody else finding the MX Player betas are really flakey right now? The lastest one fixed seeking with the remote control (finally - was broken since the last stable) but somehow broke HW+ decoding on the Nvidia Shield TV, which has always worked flawlessly before.

It will be better if you can provide a sample video or link to a sample video that has issues.

It's every streamed video on the Nvidia Shield TV. I've got SMB shares mounted on the Shield and these "local" videos all works fine.
Where things are broken is with network streamed (I generally use Terrarium TV). HW+ and Software decoders both now refuse to work, only HW works after the last MX app updates and even HW crashes midstream at times complaining of not supporting the video codec (even though it's already been playing just fine).
Here's a bug report directly after starting play of a streamed file as HW, and just after I've tried to use HW+ and Software (to try and ensure it contains something useful).

can you make a screen record for us?
Is it happens with HW decoder as well?
