I found these old thread from last year in the XDA Nexus 10 forum & old MX Player forum on Google Groups:
MXplayer to support full screen HDMI!!
Nexus 10 hdmi output scaling
Did this feature ever get implemented? I also have a device that doesn't have a 16:9 aspect ratio (LG Optimus G) & would LOVE to have this feature in MX Player so I can stop using the stock LG video player app when I have my device hooked up to my TV.

OK I read that thread earlier but I didn't totally understand, until I just re-read it now. So you're saying that I need to use a video player app that uses casting (The Stock LG Video player app does this also) instead of just being mirrored when being output via HDMI?
That is correct. Casting on a mobile device is similar to using extended desktops on your PC. It's the only way to have 2 actual screens rendered at different resolutions. When the video is cast, the video itself will be rendered at the video's native resolution. And of course since most (if not all) videos these days are 16:9, it will match your TV.

Is this a feature we can expect in MX Player in the future?

Is there any other video player apps that can cast via HDMI output? I can't seem to get the VLC Beta app to do it.
Not that I'm aware of; but then again, I've never had the need to do this so I wouldn't know.
So I have the infamous Galaxy Note 7.. and I'm trying to use MX player to stream to my TV.. I can do it with the phones stock player but.. can't figure out how on MX PLAYER.. can anyone help??

Hey,
MX Player doesn't support the casting yet. However, we are working on it to bring you at the earliest.
If you are casting the files through some other apps, kindly contact the respective developer for further assistance on your issues.
Please please I want screen cast feature within MX Player as its my favorite video player.

I use Anycast device for my TV through it's HDMI port, as it doesn't have inbuilt WiFi/cast feature.
On my mobile device, I go through:
Settings>more>Wireless display
Here I select the Anycast display "Lollipop".
Next I open file browser or app to select my media to play.
Now, MXPlayer acts as a media browser and I play videos from my Internal Storage. The problem is with the online content of MXPlayer, which plays with a black screen and audio.
I hope I didn't miss anything.

Hi Yogesh,
Anycast is based on Miracast technology, which is not secure enough to protect the contents. So, screen mirroring is deliberately disabled while playing the protected contents on our streaming platform.
Yesterday I was able to play the online videos and many other TV shows,but today this option is not showing in my mx player. What should I do now
Hi
I have a xiaomi mi a1 phone and a xiaomi mi box s (with chromecast support). I wanna to play video with sound on tv and on phone too at same time (so audio and video "cloning" on both devices).
I tried the cast mode with vlc and xplayer video player apps on my phone, but then it transfers both the video and the audio to tv, no video or audio on phone.
I tried screen mirroring too, but phone have no sound when played the video, and screen lock transferred too to my tv. It's not a correct solution.
Exist some special app for this, or android system can basically know this things just the settings are wrong?
What app do you recommend for it? Or maybe I should looking for another technique / method not cast/screen mirroring?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there,
when I choose or set my MX Player as a default player in TV Zion or any other similar app on my Android phone with the latest OS update - it works just fine and I can watch the video on my phone, works perfect.
However, when I try to cast the video that I am watching on my TV through Chromecast and press Chromecast icon on my video screen and choose "Chromecast", I get on my TV just a picture with text: MX Player - Choose the video...
What do I need to do to get the video which is already running on my phone to be shown on the TV?
Thanks for your help.
Well, this is a problem for MX player already solved in other major competitors like kodi, nplayer and NOVA. It's a pitty that MX player developers doesn't fix this for android tv, it's just a matter of allowing subtitles to go below "0". It's a purely coding problem easily solved in hours. I hope plex doesn't solve it before you guys because then there will be no way people will use MX Player anyway. By now is still better than kodi (wastes less resources), better than NOVA (better PQ and sound) and better than nplayer (it's not forgotten), but plex android tv player uses exoplayer and it gives better PQ than Mx Player any day of the week, the problem with plex is the subtitle department that doesn't give a f#ck about users outside USA.
I sincerely hope MX Player listen to this and be the first android tv video player to give 100% full support for subtitles. And make no mistake, it's still the best in changing font and colors and outlines, but i don't understand how it forgot to let users put the subtitles in the bottom of screen (this problem only happens in android tv). I know in android pie smartphone you cna do it with touch or with a mouse and scroll subtitles down while playing a video but that doesn't work on android tv even with a mouse.
The problem is android tv is different than android pie (in smartphone) the botton of screen in a smartphone is higher than in a normal 16:9 TV, so when you apply the bottom in MX Player to a TV it doesn't go bellow the bottom of a smartphone.
