Hi,
I have Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 with latest Android and I guess the latest MXPlayer update (just updated today). My internet connection is 50Mb/s. I use several online tv apps who use the MXPlayer. And frankly speaking it's a pain watching all of them. I contacted few of the developers and they said it's a player issue. Basically, shortly after I start any of them the player either hangs or stutter, or shows black screen. I tried all three types of decoding (SW, HW, HW+) but that doesn't help - they all have their own bad behavior and the end result is unwatchable stream. It seems the problem is mainly with content streaming over internet. One of the things I'm trying to watch is Waza Tv.
I'm not an expert on this. Just trying to get maybe hints on what I can set in the player to make it work better in these kind of situations. Can I change how much it buffers before it start playing live streams?
Thanks
You should post a log so that developer can find the reason of problem.

How do I do that? As I said, I'm not an expert. Thanks
It looks like hardware specific. Can you post some link of any of these channels?

It's a pinned thread in this forum.
And unfortunately, network stream buffering is a known issue that the developer is working on.
Hey guys!! First of all I just want to thank the developer for doing such an amazing work building the best available video player on andoid, and for free. You rock!
I want to know if there could be a chance to take advantage of root access for being able to browse system folders (like “data”) when manually loading subtitles. In my case, the reason I need this feature is because I’m using MX as default player with Popcorn Time and this app, in my device, only works fine if it’s cache folder is setted to internal data folder (by default). So it downloads the video and subs into that folder, but the subtitles needs to be loaded manually on MX and obviously I can’t do it.
If you think there would be any other way to solve this I’d really apreciate the info.
Greetings to all and thanks in advance for the help!! (and sorry about my english...)

Hey warvevo! Thanks for stopping by. I've tested latest nigthly build, activated root access but still can't browse system folders when loading subtitles. I think the only feature enabled is to read/write/delete on external SD cards. Maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks anyway!!

Will you save some video file in system folders?
I dont think its nessesary. Root access is for getting the avility to del or ren im kitkat.

Hey @josuearisty!!
Like I wrote in my previous post, the reason I need this is because Popcorn Time, in my device, only works with default cache folder path which is "data/data/pct.droid/cache". It stores video and subs into that folder and while the video is sent automatically to MX with an http server, subs needs to be loaded manually so, if I'm not able to browse that folder I have to download them separately which is really annoing.
Thanks anyway for the info. :good:

Tried it. When I select data folder in browser, it doesn't get into it, in fact, It doesn't do anything... :crying:
Same thing as when I try to browse into that folder while loading subs. Like if the browser doesn't have root access.

MX Player will ask root permissions only when it executes some editing operations (like delete, rename) in sdcard. It will not use it for folder selection activity.

If you add the entire root or data partition, it will impact media scanner's performance. So, It's not suitable for everyone. Only experienced users can make use of it. Better to have it as an optional.
Anyhow I will try to convey your request to the developer.

Thank you so much @ktsamy!! I really only need this function in the browser that's called when loading subtitles as, for the video, Popcorn Time uses a stream which is automatically sent to the player. But I don't know if this needs to be "activated" on media scanner too. I mention it just in case.

If you are streaming from external app, it's better to contact the application developer to use MX Player API to easily stream the subtitle together.

Here is the Bug Report generated by the app. I've now downloaded the Popcorn Time source from Git and compiled with some little modifications but I still can't get subtitles to load automatically on MX. I've tried with Uri and direct "subs.srt" file path (wich is stored in mnt/sdcard/Download folder) but no luck. If you have something to recommend please let me know and I'll try.
Thanks!!

1. DTS is licensed; install the custom codec: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-custom-codec-dts-support-t2156254
2. I don't have any problems, sounds like a Play Store sync issue, possibly. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/faq-purchase-history-error-t2908179
I don't talk about the sound !
I am talking about popup message that shutdown the player ! because I don't have internet now to check the validate version
why this message appear Constantly and my app is purchased already !

Indeed, it is on the feature requests list thread, and the developer is working on it as one of the planned "major" features.
Hi ladies and gents...

Questions for the MX-perts:
I used to be able to stream .m3u8 video streams on my nexus 9 however, shortly after upgrading to MX Pro, I receive the "unable to play this file" error.
- Any changes to MX codecs?
- I have tried SW, HW, & HW+ settings.
- I can still play m3u8 videos with the stock video player, but it stinks without any customization.
- Lastly, I have tried the neon.1.7.32.rev1codec zip with a new MX Pro installation.
I'm still getting the "unable to play this file" error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Is .m3u8 still listed there? Also, isn't that a playlist file?
As far as I'm aware, @bleu8888 has said that .m3u8 isn't officially supported yet.

Seeing as how VLC, Kodi and Popcorn Time are vulnerable I figured that they are probably using the same libraries and there was a fair chance that MX Player is similarly affected. Please let us know and if so the expected timeline for a fix.

Video Players | Security breach report
Hi guys,
I don't want to alarm anyone and I'm new on this forum.
I'm not a developer of any kind but I've recently came across an article that's affecting many of the video players used in android.
Is MX player at risk and are there any measures taken to address this situation?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Give the details of the report.
I am assuming that you're talking about the one with able to remote access victim's computer with specially prepared movie subtitles? Is that the one?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply since it's my first thread ,I cannot quote any external sources to provide more information.
The one that you're describing is exactly the one.
Thank you
Unfortunately, it was not disclosed publicly hot to exploit the issue is but I don't believe there was any indication of an Android app being affected (it requires VNC server so presumably not).
MX Player developers will need to address this one, I imagine once there are more details
My bad, actually it's already covered in https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-subject-to-todays-subtitle-t3611258/ - MX Player is safe
Thanks for the ref post that confirm the issue covered
