[Resolved] Mx Player not able to play videos. - MX Player

It just gets stuck on 00:00. While streaming, loads fully but does not play. And when I forward it, I can see the video Images but won't play.

In which decoder?
If you have enabled H/W+ decoder (Network) or S/W decoder (Network), disable them and try again.
H/W decoder may work better in some occasions like buffering or authentication issues.

Ty. It's working now. Seems that the option "Stop other players" was causing the problem(see attachment). After almost going through each and every possible option and different settings. I found that disabling this option was the only thing I needed to do. Lol. Now all the videos are playing fine during call and when not on call. Ty for ur help and support. Peace ¥

I have this exact problem. I'm using an Android media player. MX Player used to work but recently, for an unknown reason, videos do not play and they are stuck at 00:00. The above solution did not resolve my problem. 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.
What can I do?

I am keeps on asking logs. But, no one is providing the logs. There can be multiple reasons for a similar problem. So, until or unless we look into logs we can't provide the exact solution for your issue.

[Q] Movies Freezing

I use a registered copy of ChewTune to rip iTune TV shops for watching on my TF700.
The transfer will state completed and apepar the correct size but about halfway to three Q's through the show it will free with a loud buzz.
Nothing I have tried such as moving beyond the point will help.
Tried several movies players with same results.
My question is there software that would scan the movie file and report or fix coding problems?
Thanks

Sounds to me like you either have something configured incorrectly in the ripper, or its buggy, but in either case it is unlikely a simple edit will fix the videos. The problem isn't likely a playback issue on your TF700, but try playing the vids on a pc and see if they work. If they do you might need to encode them differently. If not, then you might need a new ripper.
I am experiencing similar thing, but any show/movie stutters from beggining.
I use BS Player which worked perfectly fine until 4.2 version of android.
I think it is the ROM, not the movies. As mentioned, they work fine on PC/BoxeeBox - and they worked just fine on infinity, too - but not anymore.

Using MX Player on both 4.1 and 4.2 with no problems at all, perhaps your problem comes from BS Player.
I can second. I'm on CM10 using MX Player, and it can play my 1080p/5.1 bluray rips without any problems.

Been there, done that! Guys, loose both BS and MX and get Dice Player and all your problems will magically just go away! Works flawlessly over wifi too. Took me a month to figure this out and I had all your same issues. Thanks @jtrosky!!

Audio but no video? Also, Play Store disappeared?

Stock unhacked 32gb black.
For AVIs and MKVs, I've always used BSplayer without problems. I've put my first videos on the Nexus 5 today, and AVI and an MKV, and they play perfectly fine, except without video.
I got the impression this is a problem with my Nexus 5, but so I naturally cleared the BSplayer's app data and cache and uninstalled, rebooted the device, and reinstalled just to rule out a bad install as the problem. Sure enough, no video again.
So I go through the ritual of clearing, uninstalling, and rebooting, and tried to grab a different media player from the store to rule out media players as the problem, but this time I don't have the Play Store! WTF? I just reset my device and I'll keep you guys posted, but is anyone else having or hearing about these problems? Particularly the lack of video playback, because I can just side load the Play Store if I don't feel like resetting the device.
After resetting device, still no video playback in BSplayer, even after switching decoding modes. MXplayer is able to play the MKV file perfectly, but crashes with the AVI...
I am having same issue. BS Player is my go to. I don't have video when streaming along w local files.

[Q] Videos have stopped opening in MX player

Hello,
I have used MX player for a long time as my default to open and watch videos found on line for my Samsung Galaxy S4. Suddenly any video I try to watch is not opening in MX player even though it was still listed as my default. I have seen times in the past where the phone prompts me to choose a player before playing a video and give me the option of once again naming MX as my default but now the video will play without using MX player or giving me the option to choose it. And of course I hate whatever player it is using (no pinch to zoom, etc.) I tried uninstalling MX and reinstalling from the play store but that didn't do it.
Could a setting have been changed somewhere or something blocking the player from opening?
I also have an android tablet I can't get to play videos in MX player but I could always get my phone to work. Just click the video on line and it opened in MX.
Can you help?
Thanks!
Can you post error logs using the Bug Report function in the MX menu?
If you are streaming videos, a sample URL would help diagnose the issue.
Did you recently upgrade the firmware? Stock or custom ROM?
I don't think I did anything different than I always do. Find any video I want to watch on line hit play it opens in MX player or offers me a choice for how I want to play it and I select MX player. Phone has stpped doing that without explanation. Videos are playing just not with MX player.
A sample URL would still help, just in case.
Also: "Did you recently upgrade the firmware? Stock or custom ROM?"
Please answer this question. Additionally, which version of the S4 is this? Europe? T-Mobile? etc.
And finally, the error logs should still be collected, as it may contain error codes. The description you just gave doesn't really give much useful information for the developer to work with.
I didn't upgrade anything I am aware of in my phone. It has just stopped opening videos in MX player that I am clicking on line to play.
It's an At&T S4 I believe that's the 337? USA.
No idea how to get the error logs or what you meant by stock or custom ROM. Do you mean did I do anything special to my phone? No. Same phone for 1.5 years out of the box.
As for URL...pick anyone you like. Doesn't matter what I watch or where I watch it. Any internet video I click on is not opening or even prompting me to watch it in MX anymore. Something is blocking it or a setting is changed somewhere. Could it be a security app?
My 4 month old Samsung tablet I bought at Costco same thing. But the phone always worked.
In terms of collecting an error, log, take a look at this guidance thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/guide-how-to-collect-logcat-report-bug-t2843144
When I say stock vs custom ROM, if it's 100% out of the box, then you are on the stock ROM; stock means "original manufacterer's" in this context.

[Question] / [Bug] Using MX Player with ES File Explorer on Marshmallow

Hi guys, please help me out.
Sometimes I want to browse through my videos on my phone using ES File Explorer. Whenever I try to play a video, a list of applicable video players pops up. Of course, MX Player is on the list and I set that to default.
Here's the problem: When I want to play videos on the network (from my PC) using ES File Explorer, the list does not show MX Player at all so I can't use it to play my videos and most of them are even in MKV format. Even VLC for Android that I installed for testing won't show up on the list. I was surprised that QuickPic's video player is on there and I didn't even know they had a player. I can play videos over the network using MX Player w/ no problems on my Asus Zenfone 5 and OnePlus X which has Lollipop. I'm assuming this could be something with Marshmallow since my current device is a Moto X Pure with Android 6.0. I already emailed the dev team of ES and I yet to receive a reply from them.
I was thinking, if QuickPic can be detected by ES, maybe something could be done with MX Player as well.
Any ideas?
I had the same issue, but it got resolved by itself somehow. But I switched to Solid Explorer anyways. Much better.

Were you on Marshmallow when you had the issue?
I guess I'll try other file managers first. I'll give Solid a look.
Yes, on a nexus 5x. After I received my phone back from the repair centre it worked again, so a hard reset might have helped it.
You might have touched app links Settings available on marshmallow devices.

Nope. I haven't touched any of the settings like App Links. They're all on default.
Anyways, when I tried Solid Explorer, MX Player shows up on its list (finally!) but for certain file types only like MKV. Whenever I want to play MP4 videos, MX is no longer on the list. I guess it's also a file type issue of some sort.

Go to App Links Settings & check whether it's enabled for all file types or not. Similar incidents are reported earlier & found that app links Settings was the problem.

The issue is with marshmallow.They have done it that way
:| any workaround? any other apps that can allow mx player to stream over LAN? I believe it used to work with my previous phone. I had an s7 that turned out not to be waterproof and I had to buy another one (also s7) and now it does not work...

Actually it's a bug with earlier marshmallow. Later it's fixed by Google. Just install any new video player you never had installed or intent intercept. Everything will back. Then you can uninstall the new app.
I have found a workaround for this bug & it's already applied by the Developer. Hopefully it will be on the next version.

Can you check whether the issue is resolved or not..?
I think its should work with yesterday's update.

Seems to work fine now with ES. Though I actually moved to Solid Explorer a few weeks back and MX works pretty well with it.
Thanks!

Solid explore has some issues as well. It doesn't pick activities based on URI pattern. When it doesn't know the extension (for eg VOB), it just sends mimetype as */* which results in list of all activities available in system. Literally it will bring a large list with unnecessary apps & difficult to choose the right app.

I was facing same problem.
It doesn't need to switch either your file browser of player.
Just go to settings >> Access Permissions >> App Links >> Go to MX player & do the following settings..
"Go to "Open Supported links" & choose " Open in this App" OR "Ask Every Time".
It worked on OPX ( Marshmallow).
Hope it works for you..
I had just the same issue with ES 1.05 pro on galaxy Note 4, 6.0.1. I tried to fix by going in phone settings, application manager, ES file explorer, and there the button Clear defaults was active, so I hit it but again mkv files open with native es explorer video player and not MX player. For avi files it asks me how to open them and which player to use. Very strange. I got confused because it worked with mkv yesterday on my phone and I haven't done anything special.
Where is this "settings >> Access Permissions >> App Links" - in phone settings or es settings? I can't find it.
I uninstalled ES and then restored it through AppBackup&restore and it works now, strange.
Turn your mxplayer from hardware (HW) to software (SW) decoding. The button is on the main screen. I bet it says HW. Software decoding supports more file types including mp4 and mkv. Failing that, just rename your file with a avi extension (let mx player sort it out), then you will be able to select mxplayer from the list of players. L8r D

It's firmware bug on marshmallow devices. You have to just uninstall/disable the app that's set to default. Once you have done, MX Player will be listed again. Then you may install the app you have uninstalled.
