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 SRT´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

i have the xplore rom. i have done some research on the streaming media player and how to use it etc. However i am still quite confused about what to enter in the rtsp:// field. I would love to watch youtube videos but i highly doubt its possible,LoL. Any insight would be appreciated.

Actually, get VLC, set up a Video On Demand stream with the built in VLM manager, and then open that stream with the player, and you should be on your way. As far as flash videos though, that'll take a bit more trickery and it won't be live at all... you'll need a lot of stuff, but I can suggest the software to you. Camtasia (you'll be using Recorder in Live mode), and VLC opening a Capture Device (the camtasia driver, and your soundcard), set up camtasia to record the video window for the youtube page, and open the capture with vlc using RTP as the output stream. Encode the video at no more than 256kbps, and the audio no higher than 128kbps 2channel, and you should be fine. I'm thinking I might have to open a whole other thread on doing loopy things with the computer to get video/audio onto the wizard that shouldn't be there, but that's for another time.
or just use orb.com and I think they do something with youtube not sure about that one, but streaming is good
Is it possible, even when flash is released, that we would be able to stream live media like that of mlb.tv? Is it possible to stream the gameday audio with the current makeup with the phone, has anyone tried yet? I really really hope mlb embraces android and puts something out there for us fans.
I am not sure if the graphics card of the g1 will be able to handle sporting events streams but radio stream probably wouldn't be an issue. Plusmo and a few other companies make great programs for keeping track of the scores and plays.

It's got no trouble showing movies stored on the SD card, so I'd imagine that streaming video should work ok too, so long as the data stream can keep up.
Yeah thats what I am not sure of is the data stream, Movies the system can prepare for what is coming next because it is saved in a file that never changes streaming video of live TV is a little different it really depends on how good the graphic card is and how well it can process the info as it is downloaded which from what I remeber the graphics card in the g1 isnt the greatest.
My guess is that when flash is here, most of all that will be possible, best over 3G/wifi of course, but there's no reason it wouldn't be possible. I wouldn't be surprised if there's TV apps in the making right now for Android.
How does the youtube client work, is the entire clip downloaded first?
I would guess the phone just caches a little, then starts streaming, and it sure works great for me.
I would like to be able to stream this:
mms://straumV.nrk.no/nrk_tv_webvid03_h
and similiar video streams.

That's a Microsoft WMV file.. it's unlikely to ever work unless Microsoft make a player for Android (I couldn't even get that stream to work under OSX with the microsoft supplied player.. probably DRM protected or something).
Android does H264 which is good enough for streaming (I expect that's what the youtube player is using). Now if someone could persuade the BBC iplayer to send its h264 streams to the G1 rather than trying to invoke flash...

I wasn't aware of that - I use Ubuntu Linux and watch this stream via my VLC player and it works great - guess the VLC player uses some fancy codec or something, I don't know. i just assumed that since it worked on my Linux desktop it might work on Android given the correct application - a bit naïve, I know...

The other day I downloaded nswPlayer, in the video section it has an 'enter URL' field but I'm not sure whether it means it can stream remote videos - probably not.
Are there any other Android players that would play H264 streams?
~Christopher
No idea how VLC does it, unless you've got the x86 codecs loaded from mplayer (which are just copies of the Windows ones).
I expect the browser can be persuaded to stream h264.. it's just Webkit after all.
Does anyone have a solution on the eee pad for playing avi/xvid/etc videos over UPNP or SMB that allows seeking? I have tried all video apps I could find in the market, and found nothing that works well yet. The setup I am running works well when playing and seeking using XBMC on a PC, so it is technically possible.
Here are my observations so far:
Most video players only supports the natively supported video format (i.e. same as the gallery app), that is not really useful for me.
Of the other players, the ones that somewhat work for me are MoboPlayer, RockPlayer, QQPlayer, VPlayer, BUZZ Player, and yxplayer. Notable cases that
just crash: ArcPlayer, DreamPlayer, SeamanPlayer
For reading UPNP there is UPnPlay. However, in my setup, exporting over UPNP with ushare, it appears streaming only work with BUZZ player. MoboPlayer and RockPlayer (often reported to work wih UPnPlay) just seem to get stuck a long time when opening the file, as if they where downloading it completely before starting. Sometimes they play a few seconds of video after that, and then gets stuck again. Seeking does not work correctly with BUZZ player.
For reading from SMB shares, one solution is 'File Expert' which cleverly re-exports SMB-files via a local http-link. One opens the SMB share under 'Network' where clicking on a video file give a choice of browsers; I open in Dolphin Browser, which opens another file dialog where I can chose a video player. This I get to work with Moboplayer, Rockplayer, VPlayer, and BUZZ Player. However, none of them can seek in this stream.
Another SMB option is Astro file manager + Astro SMB module, which I assume is supposed to work the same way as File Expert. However, upon trying to access the SMB functionality in Astro, it just force closes.
Last, BUZZ player has built in functionality for accessing files through SMB and UPNP. I cannot get the SMB functionality to work (the player just don't play the file when clicked). The UPNP functionality plays the file, but seeking does not work.
Other than this I also note the following about the players:
BUZZ Player seem to have audio-video sync problems with many of my videos. It also tends to get stuck very long in "Loading. Please wait..." when accessing its built in network browsing, with no option to stop the operation.
yxplayer does not seem to register any file types at all, so it is a pain to open streaming links in it (figure out URL string and copy, open yxplayer, chose open URL, paste URL.) It also seems to have much less smooth playback than the other players.
Using cifs on Primordial 3.1 I have had great success streaming video over my wi-fi network and seeking works perfectly. I'm not sure if the player matters but I prefer Mobo Player as it seems to be the most compatible one I've found so far.
Ah, of course, I should root the pad to get this working as Linux has very nice remote filesystem abilities. Thanks for the hint.
But, isn't it odd that no one has pulled this off in a non-root market application? I cannot imagine that it would be horribly hard to do using http range requests. (Of course, if it was me, I would have gone for a port of libcurl using Android NDK.)
I finally found a solution for non-root upnp streaming with working seeking!
UPnPlay + LittlePlayer
LittlePlayer is a quite nice player with a software decoder that seems to handle most formats. It is also the first player I have found that uses the honeycomb 'Lights out mode' (the status bar gets blacked out), which is nice.
Now only remains to find a non-root solution for streaming from smb. I wonder why FileExpert's smb->http functionality does not work.

Hi,
Maybe I miss something obvious but I have no issue streaming over Wifi with a combination of UPnPlay, RockPlayer (universal), mVideoPlayer, MoboPlayer.
Once clicks on a video file, UPnPlay browser allows selecting which player to launch (it is a pain that one do have to remember supporting formats for each player). Seeking within a video file does not seem to be a problem.

This is really odd. Have you rooted, or done anything else "odd" with your transformer? I know that the way you describe it is how it is supposed to work, but for me most players just stalls when they should stream (but, it does work with 'Little Player'). I just assumed that this was an issue with Honeycomb compatibility. But if it works for you, then maybe it is something else. What device are you streaming *from*? I am using ushare.
All this said, wasn't there an update for UPnPlay the other day? Maybe they have fixed this now.

Prime 1.4 rooted
Streaming of an HP Mediavault MV2120 via Asus RT16 router.
So I use showbox constantly and today there was an update and now I can no longer use showbox with all cast it made me download mx player. OK so no problem but there is no casting option for mx player? What kind of a mobile player doesn't have casting options these days? I even bought the premium one hoping that there was a casting option on that. I hope I'm doing something wrong but please I want to be able to cast movies to my roku and my chromecast and now I can't and what's worse I can't even use showbox anymore.
MX Player doesn't yet support casting; I'm not sure why Showbox would select MX Player as the default. If anything, you should ask the developers of Showbox why they would make such a change.
showbox mx player work around
I have a fix it's not perfect but it works. Open showbox and click download for the movie you want once it is downloaded open your file manager then internal storage and locate showbox folder. Once in that folder long press the file you downloaded it will be an mp4 file, select move then move to your video folder on device. After it is complete open allcast and select device then choose gallery and find the video, then you can play the movie on your supported device. I start downloading the next movie I want to watch in showbox in the background while watching the one that I just completed. Its not simple but it works
Nope you're doing nothing wrong. There is in fact no Chromecast support built into MX Player which I for one think is absolutely crazy. The developer of MX Player keeps banging on about transcoding which I for one think is a ridiculous excuse considering how any other apps on the Play Store supports Chromecast casting...
How is it crazy? Casting and playing video are completely different tasks that have nothing in common. You don't expect ftp-server functionality from media player, right? And chromecast is exactly the same thing.

I've had exactly the same problem, but what I came up with was to play using MX player on device but then go to Chromecast app and cast screen, this works, the only problem is that it plays on the device as well as the TV, but it works. If you have lollipop you can cast screen from the settings menu also.

We are all used to just bypassing the Chromecast App using a myriad of casting applications, with Allcast being the front runner, to push our videos from various sources. Thanks to the developer of a certain app...we were forced to download MX Player which eliminates casting abilities. I say...hahahaha..

There is no chromecast support built into mx player. However within mx player, if you click on the three vertical dots (the settings) on the top right of the player, then tools, and then share. You are able to share the current video playing, for example to allcast or localcast which allows you to stream to your chromecast. That was one of my workarounds for the annoying partnership between showbox and mxplayer. One other way was by installing an older version apk of showbox, which is perfectly fine apart from the fact that it requests for you to update the app every time you open the app.
I just think that HD Cinema doesn't have nearly enough content as showbox. Especially the tv shows, where HD Cinema is quite behind. That is just what I think. Please let me know if there's anyone who is using any other apps to watch their movies and tv shows.
I hope I helped

Barely any devices support screen casting, so this is not a viable solution.
and I don't know wtf Jdmccall02 is on about, how does HD cinema help when you can no longer choose which app to stream to.. I'm guessing you haven't updated.
If you go back to an old version of showbox, you get the 'this video is available yet' problem on 90% of the videos.

I don't know if you've seen this yet.. but here's a fix from the developer of Allcast. I tried it and it works.
http://www.reddit.com/r/showbox/comments/2xeiwi/growbox_a_solution_for_not_being_able_to_cast/
1. Uninstall MXPlayer
2. Make sure you install Growbox and run that first.
3. Make sure you install the beta version of Allcast (the one in the link on Reddit).
3. Showbox will now ask you which app you want to stream with.. choose Allcast.

So far I think the most practical option is to install the version available online 3.84.
As yet, no issue found with the older version but with multiple benefits.

Uninstall mx player and download and growbox! Works as before!!!
Open in MX and then share
I always used LocalCast directly from ShowBox to cast to my Chromecast so I was a bit miffed when it started only playing in MX Player, but I just read on Reddit that if you let it open in MX Player, whilst it doesn't have a cast option, you can then click the options menu and 'share' then you'll get the option to open the stream in Local Cast or Allcast or whatever you choose to use and it apparently works a treat.
I'll be trying this tonight.
Does anyone know why Showbox did this though?

Hi,
Just got my S7 Edge in the post today
and coming from/abandoning IOS
i feel a little out in the blue
I have been using the Infuse Media app for ios for a long long time
and for me it feels like that app got everything.
"https://firecore.com/infuse"
what's important for me that i'm looking for is the following
- Play media from NAS/network storage.
- Subtitle support (online and saved subtitles locally).
- Download files/videos from network storage/NAS.
- Chromecast support (maybe AirPlay too)
- Swipe fastforwarding option.
dose anyone know any media app that is identical to the Infuse one i've been using with these functions?
it would be of great help for a new android/samsung user.
Kodi seems to be the most popular alternative for infuse. I haven't used it myself but worth giving it a shot.
Kodi or Plex will give you full media player capability. I just use File Manager HD to browse my NAS, and view thru MX player, which allows substtitles to be downloadsled. When playing thru a NAS, the filename received by MXplayer isnsome weird coded thing, so MX can't automatically locate subtitles, I just enter the name manually and it gets me the subs I need.
You should try the MX Player app. According to me this is the best video player for Android.
I have also migrated from ios recently and kodi is what you are looking for.It's the best on Android.
