So I purchased an android tv box and it comes pre-installed with an older version of MX Player. When I play videos with this version, all the videos are shown with their correct resolution. However, when I update the app through the Play Store, it stretches all the videos to fit the screen. I've tried changing a lot of the settings with no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction?
When playing a video, hit the bottom right "zoom" button on the playback controls. See if that helps.

Hi there,
I would like to have movies played on my HD2, but somehow I just don't get it right.
I've searched the internet as well as this forum for the right video converter that would show my movies on my HD2 (together with the subtitles as they are in the original movie) in full screen. I'm stuck...
Could anyone please help me out here? When I check a link, that is mentioned in the forum, I get a thousand others. To me, it's all very confusing... To which format should I convert a movie to have it shown on my HD2 in full screen? What player should I use on my HD2? Would it be possible to (de)activate the subtitles in that player? For instance, I've converted the movie "SALT" to my HD2, but the movie is NOT in full screen, and it's subtitles are gone...
I'm way open to suggestions.
Thanking you in advance!!
Robert
The best player... pretty much the ONLY movie player worth bothering with on windows mobile... is coreplayer. The cab I use is attached.
Coreplayer can fullscreen, but you may need to play with aspect ratio settings to make it take up the entire screen (as the movie will often fill the width of the screen, but won't fill the height... doing so would make everyone look tall and thin, or you'd have to crop the left and right sides of the movie).
Here's a thread with the info on subtitles.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-345995.html
I guess there's a subtitle plugin for coreplayer that you must download separately, but it doesn't take popular subtitle formats. So you must convert the subtitle to a format that coreplayer likes (on your PC) first. The movie itself may or may not need to be converted depending on the format. Core plays most things without the need for conversion, but some types (not all) of mp4 or mkv won't play without conversion. Also you'll need to convert if the movie is true high-def. A 720p or 1080p isn't going to play smoothly on the phone, but something like 720 x 304 will play fine.
Hey.
I've been searching these forums for a solution for my problem, but I can't seem to find any, so here goes!
I just got my Galaxy Tag 2 10.1 WiFi (P-5110) and I love it. But for some reason, I can't seem to use hardware decoding on any video player I download, whatsoever. I've tried MX Player, VPlayer, MoBo Player and even DicePlayer (which worked on my Galaxy S), but none seem to work (it just switches to S/W Decoding on all of the mentioned players). I have no clue what's causing it, but it's a file encoded with H.264 and 2.0 FLAC Audio. Could this be the problem?
Help would be appreciated!

I have a 1920x1080 24p Top Gun MKV (was an m2ts to start with -- which wouldn't play right even with VLC/MX since it swapped to SW aswell), but have you tried stock video player? That works fine for me.
In MXPlayer I have to choose H/W+ for my mkv to work with it, have you tried that while running the video? (Top right)

No, it doesn't seem to work. I just get an error that I can't play the video with "H/W+ decoder".
And yes, I've tried the stock player but it doesn't work as well.
EDIT: VLC Player works just fine, for some reason.
EDIT 2: When using any other video player then the stock one, I always see the notification bar on the bottom. Anyway I can hide it and get "true" fullscreen?
Hi,
I love this app , reacently using MX player streams in apps like movie HD , showbox , cinema box, mega box etc but i noticed when i pause or screen off while waching live movie stream , Buffering stopped automatically but when i play then buffering starts i need this player to never stop buffer so that the movie play smooth just like in youtube app when you play or stop it always buffering so that we could easily watch movie without stop . Kindly reply if this matter solve

I have the same issue. Statement above, is clear. When streaming, if you press pause, MX PLAYER will try to Load; Stop; and End Playback.
Version 1.9.10(ARMv7 neon)
Running on Firestick (version 2, 4 gigs available)
mx player, Standard config.
Mp4 file ~500MB 720p max.(can be smaller or much larger makes no difference)
having trouble making a bug report because it is on a Firestick, however I did not always have this problem. Any help to point me and others in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, please.
Hi,
I just bought a Philips 32PFS6402 Android TV (version QM164E.).16.102.24).
Unfortunately the default video player, didn't have the possibility to adjust the subtitles, so I had to look for alternatives. Your MX player was highly recommended and the features I was looking for seems to be in place (remember where you stopped a video stored on USB and continue from that point on the next time. And adjust the timing of the subtitles while playing the video.)
so far so good. But unfortunately, not all video's are shown correctly. For some video's I only see a black screen. There is audio and ther are subtitles, but the screen stays black.
The codec info for the specific file:
MPEG-4 Video (XVID)
1920*800
Strange thing is, I can play the same movie using the default player.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Matthijs

First of all, thanks for your reaction. How do I collect a bug report? I didn't see any options for that.
For you info. I tried Kodi today as well and experienced the same problems. No video image, while there is sound and there are subtitles. I find it to be very strange, since the same movie does play in the default player (no idea which one that is).
Today the movie I tested yesterday on MX Player, resulted in some kind of freeze. no response what so ever.
thanks,
Matthijs

Based on the information you have shared, it seems that your device's hardware-accelerated decoders are buggy or broken. Request you to tap on the HW button on the playback screen and check other decoders. It may work for you.

Will give it a try again (it's not near me now). Thanks
Hi everyone,
When I watch a video using MX Player Pro, the screen stops before the notch and nothing I do will bring it over it.
Youtube is able to go over so it seems it's a software issue, has anyone been able to solve it?
Thanks!
I commented on a similar question in another thread....
Play full-screen video?
Hello. I just saw that apps like Prime Video or HBO Max, do not play the videos in full screen leaving the area where the camera is with a large black margin. On the contrary, YouTube or Netflix do occupy the entire screen. Do you know if there...
forum.xda-developers.com
I also bought mxplayer pro but i switched to vlc waiting developers to correct their mistake
if your phone is rooted you can use Aspo Mods and turn off ignore the camera cutout and all videos etc now have full screen
