Music Player

Hi all, I have try using Google Music and Shuttle Music Player.. it's quite weird that it even detects my mpg files or my recording files which are store inside other folders ...
It's frustrating that I have to go through the Song list and start to blacklist one by one...is there a way around this ? I can't see it in the app Settings ...

This isn't a Google Music/Shuttle Player issue. This is how Android hunts for media.
To prevent any app from indexing a location that has media files (and by extension, showing up in any music/gallery/movie player app), you have to add a .nomedia file inside the directory that contains the files.
You can do this one of two ways; you can open a blank notepad file, save it with the filename ".nomedia" and set the filetype to "all types", or you can download this one which I made here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xat4bgykd5tugvl/nomedia.zip
Extract from the above folder, and copy and paste the .nomedia file into any folder that contains things you don't want to see in your media players. Then close Play Music/Shuttle or force close/clear data on them, and open them back up again. You won't see them anymore.

thank you so much ... that helps a lot

[Feature Request] Scroll to recently completed folder after folder complete

I think it's a little bug, but very annoying.
I offten use MX Player for watching music video clips on android car media system. I have a lot of folders with lots of videos.
After turning on media system and starting MX Player I usually pick the button (in menu) that continues playing a last video.
All is ok, video plays - no problem, after that starts next video in this folder - no problem too.
But the problem is - after playing the LAST video in this folder MX Player stops and displays list of folders! Not list of files in folder started in, but list of folders! I think it's very annoying to seek the folder in list every time.

Would you check Settings > Player > Back to list ?
If this option is checked on, MX Player will return to video list instead of playing next video.

Oh, no! In that case MX Player will stop after each video!

I think what Albert is saying is that right now, when all the videos in a folder is completed, MX returns to the root folder list. What I read as Albert's request is that when a folder is finished, return to that folder's view instead of the root folder list.

Ok I misunderstood AlbertAS's request. @AlbertAS Please try latest test build. In this build, folder list will auto-scroll to the position of last folder.
Therefore you will no longer need to scroll down to find next folder. https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build

[Feature Request] SMB Share / Network Folders

Hello,
I have a few questions, I hope some one can answer them.
I would like to know if it is possible to set a video folder that is on a network or a web site. I have all my DVDs copied onto my server and would like to access them from my devices.
When I try to add a folder, via settings, it will not show me a network. If I go to Network stream I have to type in the complete url to the file its self for it to play.
Example: 13.125.44.133:4040/movies/61/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob
I would like to be able to see the directory with the list of folders that the movies are in and then select the folder and have the app play the movie.
Example:
Movies/
61
2012
After Earth
....

Maybe the only way to access to this folders its using a file explorer with the capabilities of accessing to network folders.

I was able to locate the file, like you suggested. I am using ES File Explore, it allowed me to save the path and also associate the vob files with MX Player. So now I have one more question. When I ripped my DVD's, they are just like on the DVD. There is 4 or 5 vob files numbered 1, 2, 3... When I select the first vob file and it plays to the end it goes back to the ES File Explore app and does not continue on to the second vob file. Is there a switch so that it will do this or will it just not do this?

MX Player currently has no built-in SMB share support. External apps like ES File Explorer only pass 1 file URI at a time to MX.
This has been previously requested before. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/nYpihpAVJq0/discussion
It's already on the feature requests list. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297

i see that there is a "back to list" i uncheck this and it went to the next file, seam to work.

Interesting, I didn't think that they would have changed so quickly to passing all the URIs in the folder. Well, good to see that you found a solution.

Related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/bug-report-video-button-lan-mounted-t2967882
An amendment to what I said above; MX still doesn't receive all the URIs, but rather does predictive requests based on filename, as a quickfix to this issue.

I use ES file explorer to do this, you can 'save' the location as a shortcut to the desktop of your device (long press on the folder, select save to desktop)
There are currently a few bugs with this in the latest version which i have my own thread about, subtitles dont load and some videos require software playback to prevent audio going out of sync but it works and works well in general.

Anyone using this feature could tell me how it works when there are 2 files - video and subtitles?

If the directory listing is enabled on the host, MX Player can get the list of files. So, it will automatically load the subtitle as we. Else, MX Player will try to get the subtitle by assumption (by just replacing video extension with subtitle extensions). But, it doesn't work everywhere.
So, it's better to enable directory listing if you are using a local server.

[SOLVED] [1.7.40] How to include a folder?

Hello
I tried MX Player 1.7.40 but can't figure out how to include a folder as there is no Save button, and hitting the left arrow makes MX Player forget the folder I added. I attached a screenshot.
What's the solution to get MX Player to remember folders?
Thank you.

Don't confuse with the tick mark on the right side. The right selection button is intended for batch hiding & removal of entries from list.
In simple theory, if something is listed on folders list without any strike marks, it's added to scan list.

Thanks but I found no way to add folders to the default "Notifications" and "Ring tones".
Does someone know how to play a video that lives in a different folder than those two?

Do you mean that you want to add ringtones & notification tones to folder list.?

No, I meant that I wanted to add a folder at the right so it'd be easier to navigate.
Turns out Android/EMUI/Huawei allow the user to do just that. I should have tried before asking :-/
After creating the folders, populating them with files, telling MX Player about them, it automagically updates the list of files and let me play them.
Thanks for the help.

Copy your videos to device/misc/Android and past them in this folder (you can also paste them in your own created folder) and MX player will read them. I don't know why but android apps cant access files outside this folder.

I had found the solution about it?
Yes i found the solution about it. Most of the people search the solution about it.
Let's Start
Go to Mx Player->Setting->List->Folders->Add video Folder you want to add then.
After that Just go to your file manager and go to the folder you have added in the mxplayer list then go to file Manager setting set to the "Show hidden files" then you can see the under the folder 1 file was hidden that's name is ".nomedia" delete this file.
"Now you can see the folder in the mxplayer."
Like, comment & share this knowledge to everyone...Thank You !!!

[Feature Request] Time of all Files in a directory

Hi,
I download many media like news, documentaries, reporting and other media in only audio or video.
And I have many Audiobooks or other podcasts.
Always when I delete a file I would know how long the rest time is to listen/watch the whole directory.
I have to use other apps or my Windows PC to check this although I use only mxplayer to listen/watch the files.
So I would be glad to have a new feature to see the resttime of all files on the directory.
At this time we can see how many files in a directory are. Can you add the time of the whole directory too?
