MX Player causing Xperia SP to reboot

Hi, I have been using MX Player for a long time and its a great app, but recently I have been suffering from my phone rebooting whilst using MX player.
The problem arose after I have performed a factory reset, prior to that point there was no problem at all. Since a factory reset though I can be anywhere from 1 minute to 20 mins to an hour into a film and then the app will freeze and the phone then reboots itself.
I have tried changing the decoders from S/W to H/W and H/W+ but none of these change matters.
Completely uninstalling the app and reinstalling from fresh doesn't help. Rooting the phone, clearing caches, Dalvic etc still doesnt help.
I have used MX Cat Log to get the log.txt.gz and build.prop after its restarted and am attaching them here, although not sure if it will help much because I assume the needed data gets cleared on the reboot.
Thanks for any help

When I start to open some of the videos I think MKV format, it always crash which means totally freeze/hang. In that situation I could not do anything not even switch off my phone. Its totally irritating.....
I select YUV to watch movies I think it sometimes because of this happened. But I try also with the same setting in VLC player and it doesnt have that problem with same movie file. Sorry for my bad English.!!!

In which decoder this happens? All three ?
Did you enable deinterlace?
If you haven't then,
1. Can you try after disabling hardware acceleration in Settings 》General.
2. If it's still not working try again after disable h/w audio track selectio selection
If nothing works can you clear the data, reinstall the app from playstore & try again

I use three of them. But I didn't check in which decoder it happen i just unselect only from color format i.e YUV. Sometimes it start working but when I try another downloaded movies the problem happened again in some movies.
Sorry, I cant find any setting like deinterlace.!!! Okay I'll with disabling hardware acceleration.

I try it with disabling hardware accelaration from GENERAL settings as well as disabling h/w audio track selection but the problem still exist..!!!
Its really irritating I always need to forcebly remove the battery in this situation....
Yes I,m sure its because of YUV. When I disable it it plays well. But my question is why its happen in this player where I can play very well with the same settings in VLC player.???

Settings > decoder > deinterlace, make sure that's disabled.
I know some devices have issues with YUV, but if the VLC app can play the video on your phone then... hmm. The issue still happens in SW mode?

I saw it, but I try it without disable (deinterlace), the movie play very fine. I want to ask how this deintelace is useful.
I just check it...yeah after disabling this feature video plays very well..and even disabling YUV also it works..I don't know which one really is responsible for that.

Do you mean that it's plays fine without deinterlace

Deinterlacing in high resolution may lead to freeze. Else it might have some issue with YUV.
BTW, deinterlacing only works in SW mode.
Are you using SW decoder?
Have you ever tried that video in HW decoder?

I use all these settings...while playing I could switch to 3 different mood i.e H/W, H/W+, SW.
One thing, this happens only when I started to open and new movies. After playing some time (without enabling YUV first), I can play very well after that even if I enable YUV feature..

The only thing you can do is setting the h/w decoder to default. Therefor go to settings - decoder.
But the overall performance depends on your hardware and since you have a rather low to mid-range device dont expect too much. You could struggle watching full hd movies tho

Exactly what CCody said. There isn't much to configure in MX, other than selecting HW and SW decoders for video and audio, and changing the number of decoding threads/cores to match your device.

[Bug] Mx Player stuck at 0:00 - it can not play video

I'm using an Android tv box. MX Player can not use, for an unknown reason, videos do not play and they are stuck at 00:00.. ... when i seeking time, the pictures of video is shown but can not play, Disabling H/W+ (Network) did not work. Using H/W+, H/W or S/W encoding didn't work either. Neither does uninstalling and installing again.
I install all codec but can not fix

sorry, took me a while to get this done.
If anyone would be so kind to look at my log and see what problem I am facing. Videos just would not play and are always stuck at 00:00. I tried all sorts of combination with H/W+, H/W and S/W. Uninstalled and reinstalled did not work either.

I have the same problem too using a Unblock Tech Gen2 S800 (dolphin_fvd_p1-eng 4.4.2 KOT49H 20161109 test-keys)
It worked for months until the last two days. I then tried re-flashing the ROM for a clean slate. It worked for a few hours then stopped. I had to uninstall MX Player. I hope it can be fixed.

I was able to force it to play afterwards by using Background Play. But, it won't respect video aspect ratio and all videos are zoomed in no matter what I changed to.

Rainbow colors and artifacts in video playback on ARMv8-A processor

Hello, I have a snapdragon 821 running the ARMv8-a architecture.
I am trying to play a 1080p video using MX player. MX player is using the ARMv7 NEON codec.
The video is garbled, full of rainbow colors and artifacts. See attached image. Sound is working. Video playback is smooth.
What is going on?
IS there another codec I should be using?
for some reason I can't attach images. Copy paste this in your browser to see it:

The video was encoded with the hvec or H265 video codec if that helps.

There is no need of separate codecs until or unless MX Player asks.
Kindly collect the bug report (help > bug report) immediately after reproducing the issue & share here.
With out logs it's very difficult to identify the actual issue.
