Hi i was watching a video in the Mxplayer. After some time i removed the video while the player was still in the background. When i opened the player again it was showing an error message "This video cannot be played" with an OK button. When i close the error message the player instead of going back to the videos list, still trying to play the same file and the same error message is shown repeatedly. I have to force quit the app to stop the error message.

Looks like you are launching again from recent apps.
It may happen when you start play the video from external app. In that case mx player will be called by the activity. If you open again from recent app, it will call the particular activity rather than the main app activity. So, mx player will try to open the same file.
Just try to open mx player from launcher. Just play a video & close it. Now delete the file & open from recent file. It will open the main activity.

My device = Kindle fire HD (1st generation), 7", 16 GB
My OS = Amazon's version of android 4.0.3
Mx player = 1.7.40
I downloaded & installed Mx player (non-neon/froyo version) & the codec that it won't even START without, from the below link
h ttps://sites.go ogle.com/site/mxvpen/download
(The site considers me too "untrustworthy" to post the link, but you can figure out where I downloaded it from anyway.)
I had it's settings set to use HW+ decoding & to use HW decoding if HW+ failed. I used it to play a .mp4 video (480x360, 30fps, approximately 90 minutes long) that I had downloaded from youtube using tubemate. I stopped playing the video after the first 5 minutes to check on something online. After that, I started Mx player again & chose the same video again. Mx player asked if I wanted to start over or to resume. However, I couldn't do ANYTHING! Clicking on either choice didn't work. NOTHING worked at all. I couldn't even get to the kf-hd's list of running apps so that I could close Mx player from there. Even pressing the kf-hd's power button didn't show the kf-hd's "shutdown" option. Luckily, holding it for 10 seconds turned the kf-hd off anyway. After that, I tried several attempts to get Mx player to play that video again. My last attempt went as follows.
1) I turned the kf-hd on.
2) I started Mx player, but I did NOT choose any videos.
3) Instead, I went to the kf-hd's list of running apps & closed Mx player from there.
4) I turned the kf-hd off & then turned it back on again.
5) I started Mx player again, chose the video that I hadn't finished watching, & tried to watch it again, with the EXACT same results as before.
(After that, I uninstalled Mx player, installed Km player, & have since watched the same video without the above problem.)
Anyway, in future versions, to (hopefully) avoid this happening again, I recommend that you should include the option to NOT keep track of whether a video is "unfinished" or not, & to have the decision to "start over" or to "resume" be set by an option in the settings instead. That will (hopefully) avoid the message from having to pop up at all for "unfinished" videos. Also, put in the option somewhere to FORCE Mx player to FORGET if any video is "unfinished" or not, because that's really what causes that message to begin with, & besides, that "feature" is less a convenience than it is a trouble-making annoyance (at best), & it's really none of Mx player's business whether I have "finished" watching a video or not.
Collecting error logs would help, each time you get app freezing.

Steps to reproduce:
* Pause MX Player while it is displaying a subtitle text
* Switch to another app (e.g. in order to type the subtitle text into google translate)
* Switch back to MX player
==> The video is still stopped where it should be, but the subtitle text is missing

BTW, from where you are opening the video..?
Can you collect the logs & upload here immediately after reproducing the issue?

The video is an .mkv-file opened from an "external SD card".
Testing some more, I notice that the video is not always back to the exact moment where I paused it, when returning to MX Player from another app, there may be ~2 seconds difference.
But even in those cases when video is back to what looks like the exact frame where it was paused, the subtitle text is gone.
Log attached.
This is generally a function of the old subtitle rendering mechanism. To be certain, it's only the current sub line that's gone right? Ie, when you play the video, the next subs still appear?
If you try the beta version, which has a new SW subtitle rendering engine, this should be improved.

Tried the latest 1.8.4 nightly, and now the subtitles seems to be displayed correctly when resuming (but it hardly ever resumes where it was stopped, but about 1 second earlier).

Go to Setting- Player and disable fast seeking. Then the player will find the exact frame.
while opening videos from gallery, the videos open in native video player instead of opening in mx player. i have mx player installed in my phone.
there is no option to configure the default setting.
please help.
if any body has any solution.
yup, same problem here, so i've just learned to live with the stock player lol
I think it's not possible to change this! Why I have no idea. There are volume problems with the default video player, as in it frequently starts loudest when the media volume is all the way down. Many times I've been in a quiet environment and boom it's loud and I have to scramble to turn it down manually. Also like the video to start fullscreen, which seems to me to be a sensible default behavior.

why don't you open the videos from dcim folder using es explorer or any other file browser?
Same issue with VLC.
any update ??
yeah i also facing the issue ,have you found the solution?
It's something Samsung have done, even if you use a package disabler to freeze the stock video player, it just complains that there are no apps installed able to play videos from the gallery even if MX Player is installed
Sucky move
I even denied permission for the stock video player it still plays the videos in gallery regardless. And you are forced to allow permission to the player to access the file.
If there was anyway we could disable the default video player we could replace it with mxplayer.
The default stock video player is stupid. When you change the brightness it also changes the brightness of the whole phone.
What I like about this app is the fact that you just get the same functionality as the old mxplayer application and don't get the whole "download a game to download a movie" button that pops up in the app.
I just downloaded mxplayer and want to watch a film I downloaded the subtitle but it displays that in order to continue open subtitle service you need to login
Hello,
There’s a subtitle error that happens every time I swap from the mx player app to another app while a video is opened, or when I close the phone screen,
When I return back to the said opened video (on device offline video), and try to fast backward in the video, the subtitle (which is also offline) doesn’t show up on the entire section before the resumed part,
And even when I try to swipe on the subtitle itself backward, it acts like the resumed part is where the subtitle actually begins,
I’m currently using the last version of mx player free (1.22.8)
And I’m using redmi note 8 phone.
Thanks for any suggestions or help !
