On Android x86 4.4.4 (Android-x86 4.4-r2) Chih-Wei Huang et al. from the Android-x86 Google group,
everytime I try to open a video, MX Player crashes.
I sent reports when prompted, so devs have the debug messages.
As a relevant note, other players are similarly affected, these are: BSPlayer, Dice Player, Moboplayer, CR Player...
However, VLC Player can play if normal (not full) acceleration is selected, but seeking is not allowed.
It will be nice if MX Player devs sort this out for MX Player.
Thanks
If you could also collect and post the error logs here, it would make it a lot easier for the developer to link the logs to the issue!
Is this on any particular (set of) devices?

Android x86 on Acer W500, Acer W700 tablets and Macbook Air mid-2011
They got the error logs sent to them through Google error reporting after each crash.

Can you try the latest version from the following link?
https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
It may fix the issue.
Note:
Kindly uninstall existing version if you have installed from Google Play. Install both MX Player ( or Pro if you are a paid user) anx x86 codec from the download page. If it's not working, just reboot the device & check again
Thanks,
I will try, I already installed that codec you pointed to, but did not install the associated beta app, so I will uninstall both and reinstall this beta, and report here later.

I did exactly as you advised me to do, but it did not work, not on Acer W700, not on Macbook Air mid-2011.
However in Acer W700, an mp4 file could work.
This time, it just says MXPlayer has closed, no offer to send a bug report...
I have not yet tried on Acer W500, but I think it will be same negative result, as it is same Android version 4.4.4 / 4.4.2
Again only VLC can stream avi files on this x86 4.4.x Android versions at the moment, but without seeking.
Maybe they can tell you what they did right? and you can solve seeking then if you manage to get it to work with MX Player?

Install MX Log collector app
When mx player closes/crashes immediately open log collector, save the logs & upload here.

here is the first log collection, I will get the others (W700 and W500) later on.
Dolphin Video Player
Please also note that the Dolphin Video Player that comes with their browser can open and play video files from local storage (i.e. internal sdcard or usb), and allows seeking too, but it does not play videos stored on LAN.
Maybe this is helpful.
MX Player does not either.

Looks you are using android x86 image to emulate android. According to your statements hardware acceleration is causing the issues.
Goto Settings | General & diasble "H/W acceleration" & try again. It may fix the issue.

Yes. I am using S/W decoding, same result.
On a side note (important?)
Choosing MX Player as player in TV Portal, it works perfectly, odd huh?

I am not talking about H/W or S/W decoder.
MX Player use hardware acceleration even for redering subtitle & layouts. So, it may cause issue.
Have you tried my suggestion?
Goto Settings | General & diasble "hardware acceleration"
Then try again.
Still no luck

Attached the log for Acer W700 hybrid tablet.
Same problem here. Lenovo Yoga 11s, Android X86 4.4 R2.
I believe, MX Player uses the wrong codec. The matter is that Android X86 uses ARM interpreter - that's why it supports lots of apps for that architecture. MX Player doesn't even ask to install the codec for x86.

You might be correct.
Maybe pointing the Player to the x86 codec manually can do the trick.
Where is the codec situated when installed?

It's not true in all conditions.
If you are installing from Google Play, then MX Player x86 versiom will be installed. Similar to Neon version, MX Player has separate x86 & MIPS build which will be installed only through the Google. So, if you have installed through Google play you won't be asked to install the codecs.
And how can I know that Google Play installed the correct version? Maybe the build.prop file gives GPlay wrong information. I have already tried all the possible settings, and the error appears even when the preview image is being generated in the library.

Just explore the apk file using any archive managers. Usually all lib files will be in size of 0 kb except libloader. Just look at the size of libffmpeg.mx.so. if it's valid (>0 kb), you have x86 build.
Yes, it's x86 version. Now I'm at a loss...

H/W+ Decoder doesn't work properly ..... It can play every video and works great with the codecs for DTS, but if you just fastforward...just one time, it will stop and you have to restart the video.
H/W Decoder is working properly when you do a fastforward but it is lagging while you are going fastforward and sometimes there are problems with the codecs. So please try to fix that :good:
It a great tablet but it is horrible to use with MXPlayer

Try to use default codec.
Is it happening without custom codec?
If it happening with the default codecs, then the problem is not with the player.
HW+ is not compatible with all devices. If you have any problem with HW+, then try SW mode.
It is happening with both codecs. Custom and DTS Codec. S/W is not working quite as well as H/W+. It would be very nice to have a working H/W+ Decoder

The problem is that meadiatek does not provide any source code. Without the framework source it is not possible to fully implement HW+. I do have same problem. But, there is no work around.

Hi,
You are not in a right place. This forum is intended for MX Player support
Hi all,
Having a problem with MX player on an x86 tablet -- I upgraded from 1.7.40 to 1.8.21, and it was a mistake.
MX player 1.8.21 does not recognize the external x86 custom codec I downloaded from xda-developers.com (keeps telling me it wants the 1.8.6 x86 codec), nor does it seem satisfied with the x86 codec downloaded from the play store (settings -> decoder tells me that a custom codec is not in use). Playback is no longer smooth, it is jerky and unwatachable.
I tried to go back to 1.7.40 by downloading the .apk from the MX player website archives, but that doesn't work -- when I run it, it says I need a codec and redirects me to the play store, where the only option is the x86 codec for 1.8.21 which is not recognized by MX player 1.7.40. Even though I have the original x86 codec for 1.7.40, there is no way to get to the settings menu to direct it to the external codec.
So, what do I do to get back to a working MX player? Can I get 1.8.21 to recognize the x86 codec? Or how do I get back to 1.7.40?
Thanks!

I can answer most of my own questions -- it turns out the "mx_x86.zip" from the download section is version 1.9.0 (I didn't notice the "Version information" said 1.9.0, I saw the "currently 1.8.6.1 is named 1.8.6 because MX player expects 1.8.6" above that). I found the correct download in the Google drive link, old version.
However, even with the x86 codec, 1.8.21 still plays video files terribly -- jerky and stuttering.
I found a version of 1.7.40 on apkmirror that didn't automatically direct me to the play store, and it recognized my original 1.7.32.rev1 x86 driver. Now, the playback is smooth.
Also, another thing I've noticed is that subtitle rendering is MUCH worse under 1.8.21 than 1.7.40 -- karoke effects cause the subtitles to be "static" unless "enable SSA acceleration" is checked, but then it looks like the subtitles are rendered to the original video resolution and then scaled with the video to the current window size. This is OK for 720p scaled to 1080p (I have a 1920 x 1200 display tablet), but for DVD resolution (480p) it causes the subtitles to be fuzzy.

Ok, looking at bug reporting thread now. Do you also want info on the 1.7.40 install that works?

Bug report and supporting files have been posted in new thread so that it does not get lost in replies to this thread.
Of course, custom codec ARM v7 NEON is installed.
But MX shows only "This video format not supported (WMV3)".
On anther tablet, MX Player Pro(V1.9.3) plays the same WMV file smoothly.
Is it some kind of level down or others?

Have you tried sw decoder
Yes, of course.
I have already posted my envionment in detail from bug report menu.
I have installed custom codec via Google Play.
In my situation, it might not work well for 1.9.8.
So I have downloaded mx_neon.zip file directly, and specify the file in the MX Player Pro. Then it works well again with WMV files.
So the problem is Custom Code via Google Play installer might go wrong.
Thank you!
Thx works!
Hi.
Recently bought H96 Max TV-Box and installed MX Player Pro on it.
But player can't play HEVC H265 videos in HW mode.
When trying to switch to HW mode it says it is not supported.
HW+ option is greyed out(not available) at all.
Currently using SW method but video playback is very bad with this method and it is impossible to watch with this method.
TV-Box based on RK3399 processor that claims full H265 hardware decoding support and I know it does because built in players can handle this file without problem with smooth playback.
How can I get smooth hardware decoding in player at this device?
hi, I'm going to receive this TV Box as well,
have you solved this problem? I'm a bit afraid of that...

Hi,
Actually, the issue is that system decoders in your device do not report that they can support HEVC 10bit profiles. So, MX Player does not try the hardware accelerated playbacks as several devices are known to crash when force decoding 10bit HEVC & H.264.
Based on some feedbacks from the users like you, we have decided to make this logic as optional. From 1.9.19, even if the device doesn't explicitly report it's capabilities, MX Player will list the HEVC 10bit & H264 10bit on HW+ Video Codecs list on Settings > Decoder. It can be enabled with a warning. Once you enable the HEVC 10bit or H.264 10bit, it will be tried in both HW & HW+.
We have already started rolling out the new version in stages. If you haven't received yet, you can manually grab the apk from our wesite & try yourself. Kindly leave a feedback after testing the same in your device.

Hi all,
My problem is when I go to watch something through mx player pro on my fire tv box it plays for around 10 seconds the the blue circle comes on and it changes the codec to hw if it was on hw+ to begin with and it does the same the other way round.
If I leave it to play after this happens then it crashes around the 30 minute mark?
I have mx player pro installed on my fire stick and it works fine.
Are there any known issues when using a fire tv box with mx player or is it just something I need to change in the settings?
Any help greatly appreciated
Tia

MX Player Pro is not available for the fire stick devices. From where you have purchased? If you are using a patched version, the issue could have caused by the improper patching.
HW decoder just uses the Android MediaPlayer API implemented on the device. When It fails with an error, it will try the next decoder (i.e HW+). HW+ Decoder basically uses the same system decoder but on the MX Player's media framework. Since both fails, either it could be an issue with the decoders implemented on the device or it could be an issue with the content. Kindly collect a bug report and share with us. It will help us to investigate further.
Thanks for that info
Do you have a Bluestacks? If not then you must install it first in order for the apps will run faster and better.
