i have the xplore rom. i have done some research on the streaming media player and how to use it etc. However i am still quite confused about what to enter in the rtsp:// field. I would love to watch youtube videos but i highly doubt its possible,LoL. Any insight would be appreciated.

Actually, get VLC, set up a Video On Demand stream with the built in VLM manager, and then open that stream with the player, and you should be on your way. As far as flash videos though, that'll take a bit more trickery and it won't be live at all... you'll need a lot of stuff, but I can suggest the software to you. Camtasia (you'll be using Recorder in Live mode), and VLC opening a Capture Device (the camtasia driver, and your soundcard), set up camtasia to record the video window for the youtube page, and open the capture with vlc using RTP as the output stream. Encode the video at no more than 256kbps, and the audio no higher than 128kbps 2channel, and you should be fine. I'm thinking I might have to open a whole other thread on doing loopy things with the computer to get video/audio onto the wizard that shouldn't be there, but that's for another time.
or just use orb.com and I think they do something with youtube not sure about that one, but streaming is good
The latest version of TuneIn Radio Pro now supports custom URLs allowing you to add stations which are restricted from TuneIn (if you have the stream URL) or stations which don’t have an Android app. Since TuneIn Radio Pro can also record, this means you can now easily record from custom URLs.
Adding Custom URLs
While it can be done directly from the Android app, it can also be done by logging in to your account from the TuneIn website and adding your stream URL there.
Adding iHeartRadio URLs (Method May Stop Working Someday)
If you want to record a station which is only listed on iHeartRadio, you can bypass the restriction by adding it as a custom URL in TuneIn. Open the station’s stream on the iHeartRadio website from your computer. In the address bar there will be 4 numbers at the end, copy those. For example the address for Hot 107.9 is http://www.iheart.com/live/HOT-1079-1545 where “1545” is what we want. Now enter http://www.iheart.com/a/live/station/1545 in your address bar substituting 1545 for the 4 digit number of your station. This will bring up some plain text, find and copy the URL next to “shoutcast_url”. This URL has forward slashes that need to be removed (leave the backslashes) or else it won’t work. Once that is done the URL can be added to TuneIn from their website. If you want to test the URL before adding it, try it in VLC Player.
Adding Other URLs
If you want to grab the stream URL for something else, you can sometimes find the URL by monitoring incoming traffic using either HTTPFox on Firefox or the network tab in Developer Tools in Chrome. Then either look for a URL that resembles a stream or a URL which continues to download even after the stream has been playing. This can be seen in HTTPFox when the Received value keeps growing and in Developer Tools in Chrome when a URL’s timeline bar keeps extending. Not all streams are easy to grab this way.
Listening to Recorded Audio Elsewhere
While it is quite easy to record and playback audio from within TuneIn, say you want to move the file to your desktop or play it outside of TuneIn. The recorded files are stored under /sdcard/TuneIn Radio without a file extension. They will be in whatever extension the recorded stream was using, usually .aac or .mp3. On Android BSPlayer Free was able to play recordings without a file extension. Other apps may work, but many refuse to play a file with no extension. On the desktop VLC will play recordings, but only if the appropriate extension is added back to the file name.
I'm not sure if this feature has been suggested, or if it already exists (being unable to find it), but I would really like the ability to build and manage playlists in MX Player.
I really do love how MX Player can run independent of playlists, jumping to the next file in a local folder (or shuffling if enabled), but sometimes I'm keen to watch or listen to a specific series of media, even web media and streams.
Now that WinAmp is dead, I do hope that some of the features found in WinAmp will find their way into MX Player. That includes:
Playlists
Shoutcast streams
More prominent Shuffle and Loop buttons (took me a long time to find this hidden feature).
Also, I would really love the ability to copy or bookmark the address of streaming media. For instance, if I choose MX Player to play a .pls or .m3u link, that media opens in MX Player, but I have no means of copying or bookmarking it to play again later.
Thanks bleu8888.

Already on the feature list from a long time ago. (high priority #8). Ctrl+F in the "feature requests" sticky post next time
Also if you are looking for a dedicated, feature-rich music app, I would recommend PowerAmp.
I wish mxplayer has the option for users to bookmark the video like the mvideo player. It will be very convenient for user to go back to certain time spot in the video to replay. It just likes creating chapters for video clip.
It would be a good feature!
Though, MX already remembers last playback position when you return to an unfinished video.
I think it's not answer!.
The questions is about many bookmarks on single video file!.
I am in the same situation like kbwme2006.
Please add a bookmarks/sections on playing a single video who have got a many topics/division/teology parts in one file.
It will be perfect for technician video like TOTURIALs to be add bookmark like simle points.
Of course it will be perfect to can by buttons PREV/NEXT go beetween this bookmars/sections on single film.
This situation is in pot player at PC.
BR temp user.
In my opinion many bookmarks will be perfect. I use PotPlayer too.
It's look like: i (dot) imgur (dot) com / YvKatF2 (dot) png
Shift+Pg[Up/Down] step between those bookmars at the same one video.
The bookmars are saved into separate file next to original played file.

I think what you are referring to are mkv chapter markers. Mkv videos can have chapter indicators, but MX currently doesn't support interpretation of chapter markers in Mkvs.

Hey bro. Bookmarking means keeping records of streaming links for future uses , the same way browser do. I also use lot of tv channel's link for watching them. MX player handle better than the official tv app. So keeping the record ( like a video list) of links in MX Player will be easy for me. I dont need to manually copy from file manager then paste in MX player. Please inform Developer about this feature.
I want to setup bookmarks and have a-b playback and repeat just like androids Act 1 video player has had for years. It's a real shame this simple request has never been implemented as I've been requesting it for years.
Can MX support DLNA? This is useful!
The best app for that is BubbleUPnP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp&hl=en
I also would like to have the Option "inside" MX Player to set my TV as Output Renderer.
For instance, if iam at my Work Break, i watch something, e.g. it has an Extra SRT Subtitle, and iam at a Position inside the Movie lets say 20 Minutes in,
for when i get home, with Bubble PNP i have to search the Video, i have to Jump Forward to the Position i was, only to see, the the SRT File is not there.
I Tried Imediashare, Pixel DMS etc. no one gets it with the SRT´s.
It would be just perfekt, if you could add UPNP as an Output Renderer, like Youtube or Imediashare. Even other Mediaplayers do it nowadays.
thx in advance.
Youtube generally rides on proprietary Chromecast. Also, if you are truly using DLNA/UPnP, using MX Player won't help. When it's sent to the TV or whatever receiving device, the DLNA standard says that the receiving device does all the decoding, meaning that the receiving device needs to accept SRT subs.
Iam just a regular UPNP user, no chromecast, maybe next year with Screencast to chromecast2, so i can beam MXplayer output "as is" to the Stick.
From what i know, long time a go, i used the Samsung PC UPNP software, that came with my old Samsung TV, guess it was something 6000 series.
From that time i remember good, that the PC Software was able to start "feeding" the TV the Stream, at the last known and remembered Position of the Stream I watched e.g. a weeky early,
same as MX player so perfectly does.
Also the Software , as you say, streamed the SRT file to the TV, and this was accepting it. It was one of the main reasons, i bought a samsung in the first place.
so in short.
1. Starting the UPNP Stream at the Position of the File were MX player stands
2. Send the Srt file that is selected inside MX Player (e.g. the downloaded versions) to the TV
3. Remember the Postion the Stream to TV was interrupted (e.g. TV was shutdown)
if this is all implemented, MX would be king.
Except, BubbleUPnP already does most, if not all, of that. In fact, you can even use BubbleUPnP to manage your library, and also tell BubbleUPnP to use MX Player when playing files locally on the phone. BubbleUPnP will handle the DLNA streaming to the TV/TV-stick.
The PC software you are describing sounds a lot like what BubbleUPnP does on Android.
Tagging @bubbleguuum as perhaps he can comment a but further on what BubbleUPnP can do.
P.S. Hi bubbleguuum! You may or may not remember that MX Player forums used to be on Google Groups, but since last year we've moved to XDA Shout-out to @ktsamy for getting MX Player its own subforum.
I Still dont get, how i would use MX Player in conjuction with BubbleUPNP ?
from what i understand, these are two seperate Video Players, MX is for Phone, and Bubble is Phone and Stream to TV.
You make it sound, like i could/should use both simultaneously ? How would that work in real life ?
Thx for your help.
Within BubbleUPnP, you can specify the local renderer as MX Player.
yeah i tried that, but that is only helping bubblepnp to render the file locally to be able to read the file and then be able to stream it.
I want it the other way arround. I would like MX player to use Bubbleupnp as the intermediate Program to stream to the TV.
Cuz only then i have my last "MX player" known Starting Position inside the video.
If Bubbleupnp searches the Files in File structure, it always start from the beginning of the file, and have to search by hand, where i might was in MX Player.
or can i get bubbleupnp to read out that info out of MX player to jump to the time withing the videofile ? i guess not ?
thx for the help
You should ask that question in BubbleUPnP's support thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14610073
So, somehow, through my involvement or not, i got em to implement some "resume" feature into his Streaming upnp.
But heres the bummer, its useless for my scenario (wich is really so weird ?)
Bubbleguuum: The video resume feature is only implemented for streaming to external renderers.
For local playback, it's up to the video player app used to eventually implement it at all (eg MX Player does it by default),
but it is entirely separate from BubbleUPnP.
so back to square one, for my "local playing and resume later on TV" dreams.
could you maybe make an API for MX, were bubbleguuum could crawl the MX local resume time data for a given file ?
so he could maybe ask for "resume last local time, or External Rendering time", and than resumes at the Time MX Player Throws at em ?
thx for your patience
That sounds like a stretch usage case, as then you would still have MX marked as incomplete, even though you've finished watching whatever it is on the TV via BubbleUPnP.
not if Bubbleupnp could save its resume time back to MX Player over your API.
And it was just a suggestion, to how to solve "my?" problem, of not beeing able, to stream from MX Player to my TV.
I dont want the struggle with Bubbleupnp. I just want, that MX Player could stream something, dont care if i have to buy a googlecast stick, or what ever device. But now i am just stuck, with 2 Programs, doing the same thing. one is now also resuming, nice. but not local ?
and MX player is only resuming local. wth, thats now the end of it ? why isnt MX Player capable of Stream to an external renderer ?
is watching on TV and Mobile such an awkward usage case ? Thx anyway, seems like i am just a dreamer.

Native streaming is something that is on the developer's eventual todo list already. As to his status, I don't know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-chromecast-t2725253
ahhhh thx. only thing is, that this thread started like 2014. so is there really hope. i dont know, at least, iam not alone anymore with my wish. Maybe with chromecast 2 comin out, MX Streaming development is finished dont know why bubbleupnp is working, and MX not. Its really silly to sit in front of a 55 TV holding your phone, to watch stuff. thats some kind of 2nd screen generation
thx for your patience. iam off
