[Feature Request] bookmark video - MX Player

I wish mxplayer has the option for users to bookmark the video like the mvideo player. It will be very convenient for user to go back to certain time spot in the video to replay. It just likes creating chapters for video clip.

It would be a good feature!

Though, MX already remembers last playback position when you return to an unfinished video.

I think it's not answer!.
The questions is about many bookmarks on single video file!.
I am in the same situation like kbwme2006.
Please add a bookmarks/sections on playing a single video who have got a many topics/division/teology parts in one file.
It will be perfect for technician video like TOTURIALs to be add bookmark like simle points.
Of course it will be perfect to can by buttons PREV/NEXT go beetween this bookmars/sections on single film.
This situation is in pot player at PC.
BR temp user.

In my opinion many bookmarks will be perfect. I use PotPlayer too.
It's look like: i (dot) imgur (dot) com / YvKatF2 (dot) png
Shift+Pg[Up/Down] step between those bookmars at the same one video.
The bookmars are saved into separate file next to original played file.

I think what you are referring to are mkv chapter markers. Mkv videos can have chapter indicators, but MX currently doesn't support interpretation of chapter markers in Mkvs.

Hey bro. Bookmarking means keeping records of streaming links for future uses , the same way browser do. I also use lot of tv channel's link for watching them. MX player handle better than the official tv app. So keeping the record ( like a video list) of links in MX Player will be easy for me. I dont need to manually copy from file manager then paste in MX player. Please inform Developer about this feature.

I want to setup bookmarks and have a-b playback and repeat just like androids Act 1 video player has had for years. It's a real shame this simple request has never been implemented as I've been requesting it for years.

[Feature Request] Watching ANIME!!! (MKV Ordered Chapters)

Ok guys, i hope that there's somone around here that will understand me somehow. I like to watch my anime series on my Nexus 5, but the problem is that MXplayer doesn't play the ending and the opening of them . Most of the times anime are packed with the OP and ED in to files apart to save memory, on my PC this isn't a problem (I use MPC-HC with KCP codec pack) but MXplayer doesn't support a "script" maybe and every episode has neither OP nor ED. Maybe i simply don't know how to set this up, is there someone who knows how to get this to work??

Most animation uses SSA subtitle and it is one of supported subtitle formats.
Did you check subtitle track button? It is speech balloon button on the top right corner of the screen.

Maybe he's referring to ordered chapter support where the OP and ED of all episodes of a series is in a separate file. VLC for android supports ordered chapters but is unwatchable because ones the OP/ED starts, only the audio will play. I dont think that MX player will support this feature because probably 1% of all mx player user wants to have this

Yes, this sounds like what he's referring to. Considering that MX Player doesn't yet have chapter support (afaik), this seems like it's a long ways away.
The point of removing the OP/ED from the individual episodes is to make more efficient use of storage space. Adding them in individually will require a significant amount of time invested in reencoding the episodes and thus not worth it.
@LunarisDream is probably right, in that he's asking about MKV ordered chapter support. Currently this isn't implemented yet!
It's already on the feature requests list as high priority #6.
@reimart660 it's definitely more than 1% that want this feature.

Hi, I'm using MX to watch animations too.
I don't think what @Enri1196 want is ordered chapter support.
Here is the scenario about OP/ED in this case.
An episode have Opening/Ending song and sometimes they were divided into 3 files.
EP01_OP.mkv / EP01.mkv / EP01_ED.mkv
MX can play next sequence file automatically like EP01.mkv, EP02.mkv, and etc.
But MX can't play OP and ED files unless manually selection.
So, what Enri1196 want should be playlist support which already in 8th item at high parity.
BTW, ordered chapter and playlist support both are in my wish list.
Thanks for all developers.
i would also love to have this feature as mx player is the perfect player for anime fans.......
recently vlc added chapter support but i cant watch it because of the lags on vlc.

I think your explanation fits the description of ordered chapters where you have multiple MKVs in a folder and when you play it, it looks like its a single video because it plays in their right orders without interruption

But what if the file name contains additional "OP" or "ED"?
Took the example in my previous post.
In windows, File sequence will be EP01.mkv->EP01_ED.mkv->EP01_OP.mkv
But I wish to play by EP01_OP->EP01->EP01_ED.
I can't do that without a playlist support.
EDIT:
By using Google to search "Ordered Chapter" and knowing it's a special function in MKV spec.
Looks like I'm using a wrong scenario because MKV has ordered chapter support in spec which may confuse us.
Please let me change my scenario to EP01.mp4 / EP01_OP.mp4 / EP01_ED.mp4.
Now playlist is the key, right?
A playlist can support all media type but ordered chapter is for MKV only.

Sorry if I can't understand your point. Do you want to replicate ordered chapters function on an mp4 file by using playlist?
If that is what @ChungHung.Chen wants, it won't work without recoding the files. Because it's usually intro -> op -> episode -> ed -> preview, with intro, episode and the preview being encoded to one file, and op and ed to their own files. So you would have to splice the intro and the preview off the episode file. In that case, you might as well recode the whole episode into a single file.

This could be happen in BD rip, please see attach for example.
Ok, as far as i can understand there's no support but is it a feature that requires a lot of work to be implemented??
I load an anime to my USB drive, then i connect it with usb otg next when i click on an episode basically there are neither OP nor ED because they're in two separate files. By the way i don't really mind not seeing OP or ED for the 1 or 2 episodes i watch on my phone, but it kinda bothers me when i'm far away from my PC only with USB drive with a preloaded anime and I can't see neither OP nor ED in all episodes.

Actually #6 is MKV ordered chapters and #8 is playlist according to the feature list.
I've read them carefully and respect of any developers.
That's why I've mentioned their number in Feature list in my first post in this thread.

Ah, I did not notice that you referenced the list in your original post.
Regardless, the takeaway is that both ordered chapters and playlists are in the development queue!
Is this the same sort of feature as ordered chapters?
I'd like to manually select which chapter to play in an MKV file that has several chapter points.
Is this ability already in MX Player and I don't know where to access it?
I recently merged some MKV/AVI etc files into a single MKV file with Mkvmerge and added chapters,
and a bonus would be selecting to jump to chapter 2 or chapter 10, for example.
If it's part of the ordered chapters then I'll sit back and wait, and if it's a different fish then I'll add an extra feature request.
Thanks
foxi
after how many years .......
After how many years , even high priority no #6, mx player still not added chapter support, all I know after long development is kind of bug fix only. :crying:
Could you add it in next release version [recent is 1.7b38 [15-03-2015] , I think ], please!!!

[Q] How to Favorite a Video and/or Bookmark Within a Video

Hello, and thank you in advance for your help! I use MX Player Pro mostly for watching technology training movies on the go. Frequently, I encounter content that I'd like to be able to jump back to when I get back to my desk. Is there a way to bookmark within a video?
For more or less the same reason, is there a way to "favorite" a video?
Settings > Player > Resume
That will make it remember last playback position.
There's no favouriting videos. Though, you could get a similar result in a roundabout ray by moving videos to a "favourites" folder.
Greetings,
MX Player is the best!!
I just wanted to one-up this request for a bookmarking feature simular to mvideo's. It's very hard to find this feature even though the demand for the feature seems to be high. Mvideo has it, but doesn't play in the background.
VLC has it, but only on their Windows player, not their android player. MX Player is the best player and I believe this feature would make MX Player even more popular.
Thank you for the great player amd your time and consideration.

[Feature Request]Support DLNA/UPnP??

Can MX support DLNA? This is useful!
The best app for that is BubbleUPnP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp&hl=en
I also would like to have the Option "inside" MX Player to set my TV as Output Renderer.
For instance, if iam at my Work Break, i watch something, e.g. it has an Extra SRT Subtitle, and iam at a Position inside the Movie lets say 20 Minutes in,
for when i get home, with Bubble PNP i have to search the Video, i have to Jump Forward to the Position i was, only to see, the the SRT File is not there.
I Tried Imediashare, Pixel DMS etc. no one gets it with the SRTĀ“s.
It would be just perfekt, if you could add UPNP as an Output Renderer, like Youtube or Imediashare. Even other Mediaplayers do it nowadays.
thx in advance.
Youtube generally rides on proprietary Chromecast. Also, if you are truly using DLNA/UPnP, using MX Player won't help. When it's sent to the TV or whatever receiving device, the DLNA standard says that the receiving device does all the decoding, meaning that the receiving device needs to accept SRT subs.
Iam just a regular UPNP user, no chromecast, maybe next year with Screencast to chromecast2, so i can beam MXplayer output "as is" to the Stick.
From what i know, long time a go, i used the Samsung PC UPNP software, that came with my old Samsung TV, guess it was something 6000 series.
From that time i remember good, that the PC Software was able to start "feeding" the TV the Stream, at the last known and remembered Position of the Stream I watched e.g. a weeky early,
same as MX player so perfectly does.
Also the Software , as you say, streamed the SRT file to the TV, and this was accepting it. It was one of the main reasons, i bought a samsung in the first place.
so in short.
1. Starting the UPNP Stream at the Position of the File were MX player stands
2. Send the Srt file that is selected inside MX Player (e.g. the downloaded versions) to the TV
3. Remember the Postion the Stream to TV was interrupted (e.g. TV was shutdown)
if this is all implemented, MX would be king.
Except, BubbleUPnP already does most, if not all, of that. In fact, you can even use BubbleUPnP to manage your library, and also tell BubbleUPnP to use MX Player when playing files locally on the phone. BubbleUPnP will handle the DLNA streaming to the TV/TV-stick.
The PC software you are describing sounds a lot like what BubbleUPnP does on Android.
Tagging @bubbleguuum as perhaps he can comment a but further on what BubbleUPnP can do.
P.S. Hi bubbleguuum! You may or may not remember that MX Player forums used to be on Google Groups, but since last year we've moved to XDA Shout-out to @ktsamy for getting MX Player its own subforum.
I Still dont get, how i would use MX Player in conjuction with BubbleUPNP ?
from what i understand, these are two seperate Video Players, MX is for Phone, and Bubble is Phone and Stream to TV.
You make it sound, like i could/should use both simultaneously ? How would that work in real life ?
Thx for your help.
Within BubbleUPnP, you can specify the local renderer as MX Player.
yeah i tried that, but that is only helping bubblepnp to render the file locally to be able to read the file and then be able to stream it.
I want it the other way arround. I would like MX player to use Bubbleupnp as the intermediate Program to stream to the TV.
Cuz only then i have my last "MX player" known Starting Position inside the video.
If Bubbleupnp searches the Files in File structure, it always start from the beginning of the file, and have to search by hand, where i might was in MX Player.
or can i get bubbleupnp to read out that info out of MX player to jump to the time withing the videofile ? i guess not ?
thx for the help
You should ask that question in BubbleUPnP's support thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14610073
So, somehow, through my involvement or not, i got em to implement some "resume" feature into his Streaming upnp.
But heres the bummer, its useless for my scenario (wich is really so weird ?)
Bubbleguuum: The video resume feature is only implemented for streaming to external renderers.
For local playback, it's up to the video player app used to eventually implement it at all (eg MX Player does it by default),
but it is entirely separate from BubbleUPnP.
so back to square one, for my "local playing and resume later on TV" dreams.
could you maybe make an API for MX, were bubbleguuum could crawl the MX local resume time data for a given file ?
so he could maybe ask for "resume last local time, or External Rendering time", and than resumes at the Time MX Player Throws at em ?
thx for your patience
That sounds like a stretch usage case, as then you would still have MX marked as incomplete, even though you've finished watching whatever it is on the TV via BubbleUPnP.
not if Bubbleupnp could save its resume time back to MX Player over your API.
And it was just a suggestion, to how to solve "my?" problem, of not beeing able, to stream from MX Player to my TV.
I dont want the struggle with Bubbleupnp. I just want, that MX Player could stream something, dont care if i have to buy a googlecast stick, or what ever device. But now i am just stuck, with 2 Programs, doing the same thing. one is now also resuming, nice. but not local ?
and MX player is only resuming local. wth, thats now the end of it ? why isnt MX Player capable of Stream to an external renderer ?
is watching on TV and Mobile such an awkward usage case ? Thx anyway, seems like i am just a dreamer.

Native streaming is something that is on the developer's eventual todo list already. As to his status, I don't know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-chromecast-t2725253
ahhhh thx. only thing is, that this thread started like 2014. so is there really hope. i dont know, at least, iam not alone anymore with my wish. Maybe with chromecast 2 comin out, MX Streaming development is finished dont know why bubbleupnp is working, and MX not. Its really silly to sit in front of a 55 TV holding your phone, to watch stuff. thats some kind of 2nd screen generation
thx for your patience. iam off

[Q] Why doesn't the Network Stream option save a list of previous streams?

MX Player is one of the simplest and most elegant players I have ever used. However, it baffles me that I have to keep searching on the internet for streams that I've already viewed (e.g. if I want to watch a speech again, I have to find the link all over again as it only stores the last viewed stream link). MX Player should keep a list of previously viewed streams. This would really help us!
I thought that when you have the network stream popup open with no text entered, it shows a list of most recent entries? I get this.
You're right, I get that too. But, it's not intuitive. MX Player has always been intuitive, except here.
Suppose I have a bunch of video links that look like:
//r3---sn-vgqsenek.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?requiressl=yes&shardbypass=yes&cmbypass=yes&id=c2672f2fb5e&itag=22&ipbits=0&expire=1431044482&sparams=cmbypass,expire,id,ip,ipbits,itag,mm,ms,mv,nh,pl,requiressl,shardbypass,source&signature=7731E43598E560ECFA73803FEBC928282F&key=cms1&cms_redirect=yes&mm=31&ms=au&mt=1428859066&mv=m&nh=IgxMjcuMCLjE&pl=18
Hard to tell them apart. Thus, a way to create a list of streams would be very helpful.
Agree with you
It will be very helpful if MX player has the option that save the list of Network Stream.
Thanks!
@ajr1 @fulmind
Actually it won't work for most of the streaming links. For example the above given link is temporary. Once the session expires you cannot stream the same link. You will get only error. It's same with most of the streaming sites. They use session to avoid hot linking of any video file.

[Q]Http web direct link ( Idea )

Got a question about the application MXPLAYER you plan to add the ability to
desolation direct video link? Just as it has VLC. If you use the options:
sample : vlc://http://video.mp4 ( Magic there do ..... vlc:// )
So devastated primarily on Android VLC and even other applications that are copies of VLC.
If it were like:
mxplayer://http://video.mp4
It means that if I have applications that can let a Web browser, which will use a video out there : VLC://video.mp4
So my brown desert video in VLC without other options. Respect me for it, the councils are using the
mx player and one of the best video application, and as the only umi web stream rewind. Others can not do it: _ (
So it would be good enough. I look forward to your reply.
