I haven't been able to sort this out on my own:
What I am wanting to do is setup a playlist that redirects to play mp4 files from a server.
Is this possible?
I also didn't see full api info, can you provide a link?
Thanks!
API: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api
I assume the server is accessible via SMB? I don't think it's possible to make an SMB playlist that MX will play... I doubt .pls or .m3u8 files will work with SMB, though you could give it a try anyways. The best way is to have an external app create a playlist and pass the paths to MX via the API.

does anyone know of any apps/plugins which allow me to stream divx/xvid/mkv files from a media server? the built in video player finds the files but wont play the codec's. either a dedicated app or if possible a codec pack would do the trick.
cheers.

noob question.
I've been testing several dlna clients on my TF101 and I can't seem to find a way to play .srt subtitles.
I can play most of the A/V the files from my dlna server using various programs on my TF but none seems able to understand the corresponding subtitle files.
Some programs have the option to start the movie and then load a local .srt file, but that is way inconvenient.
Ideas?
Alternately, is there any other way to play back movies stored on NAS without the use of DLNA? (much like my popcorn does using a network browser)
As I know, MX Player supports SMB if started from programs like ES Explorer. But today i had to deal with network share, that requires authentication. MX didn't asked me about credentials, but instead failed to open file. Hence my feature request: add SMB authentication.

MX Player doesn't support network shares directly. As you said other apps can forward the url to MX Player. So that it can be played. I am using MX Player to play videos from "Protected" network shares. But, never had an issue.
Can you collect the logs immediately after playing the file & upload here.?

Looks like first failed attempt can be due a bug on ES Explorer side.
Initializing reproduction from ES Explorer or DS Files works, but on my smartphone and on my Minix android media station the experience is worse than MX file browser.
For instance MX integrated file browser would:
- remember last file played or what's new and what's not
- be easily browsed with a tv remote
- easily allow to delete watched files
- remember last position of a movie to resume
therefore it would be very nice to add SMB folders to the interface folders!

SMB support is already there in our roadmap. We will try our best to make that possible at the earliest.
Hi,
i can successfully open a single rtsp link with 'menu/network stream' dialog (like rtsp://192.168.1.23:554/Streaming/Channels/1/). But if i paste this into a .m3u8 playlist file MXPlayer cannot play it. I have other (http) streams in m3u8 playlists so the extension seems ok.
Anyone know how to put rtsp:// into playlists for MXPlayer?
Here is a sample link:
rtsp://mpv.cdn3.bigCDN.com:554/bigCDN/mp4:bigbuckbunnyiphone_400.mp4
I've put it into a .m3u/m3u8 file but it throws an error immediately when accessed by MXPlayer.
When i enter the url into 'menu/network stream' it does work. The problem is its not saved/remembered there reliably so putting it into a playlist file should be the way to go. But how?
My Android app can launch VLC by starting a new intent with the data "vlc://smb://path/to/file.mp4" to make VLC play that video file on the network share. Is this possible with MX player? It seems MX Player is capable of playing files on a network share already (Menu -> Local Network), so it is only a matter of whether MX Player accepts a network-share path as an argument or not.
If there is currently no way, please add some kind of method to accept SMB file path when launched by another app.
Bump. Is this really not possible?
