.m4p will be added in the audio extension list. even though it might not be played as it is DRM protected audio file format from Apple.

[Q] Showbox and MX Player

So I use showbox constantly and today there was an update and now I can no longer use showbox with all cast it made me download mx player. OK so no problem but there is no casting option for mx player? What kind of a mobile player doesn't have casting options these days? I even bought the premium one hoping that there was a casting option on that. I hope I'm doing something wrong but please I want to be able to cast movies to my roku and my chromecast and now I can't and what's worse I can't even use showbox anymore.
MX Player doesn't yet support casting; I'm not sure why Showbox would select MX Player as the default. If anything, you should ask the developers of Showbox why they would make such a change.
showbox mx player work around
I have a fix it's not perfect but it works. Open showbox and click download for the movie you want once it is downloaded open your file manager then internal storage and locate showbox folder. Once in that folder long press the file you downloaded it will be an mp4 file, select move then move to your video folder on device. After it is complete open allcast and select device then choose gallery and find the video, then you can play the movie on your supported device. I start downloading the next movie I want to watch in showbox in the background while watching the one that I just completed. Its not simple but it works
Nope you're doing nothing wrong. There is in fact no Chromecast support built into MX Player which I for one think is absolutely crazy. The developer of MX Player keeps banging on about transcoding which I for one think is a ridiculous excuse considering how any other apps on the Play Store supports Chromecast casting...
How is it crazy? Casting and playing video are completely different tasks that have nothing in common. You don't expect ftp-server functionality from media player, right? And chromecast is exactly the same thing.

I've had exactly the same problem, but what I came up with was to play using MX player on device but then go to Chromecast app and cast screen, this works, the only problem is that it plays on the device as well as the TV, but it works. If you have lollipop you can cast screen from the settings menu also.
Use The Chromecast App

We are all used to just bypassing the Chromecast App using a myriad of casting applications, with Allcast being the front runner, to push our videos from various sources. Thanks to the developer of a certain app...we were forced to download MX Player which eliminates casting abilities. I say...hahahaha..
JUST GO TO YOUR CHROMECAST APP....MENU...MIRROR SCREEN.
Watch the video through MX Player... But let the Chromecast connect to your device to mirror what you are seeing.bit works flawlessly....just watched Interstellar
done with showbox
I just installed HD cinema APK and it works beautifully with allcast. So for me so long showbox. Easy to switch apps

There is no chromecast support built into mx player. However within mx player, if you click on the three vertical dots (the settings) on the top right of the player, then tools, and then share. You are able to share the current video playing, for example to allcast or localcast which allows you to stream to your chromecast. That was one of my workarounds for the annoying partnership between showbox and mxplayer. One other way was by installing an older version apk of showbox, which is perfectly fine apart from the fact that it requests for you to update the app every time you open the app.
I just think that HD Cinema doesn't have nearly enough content as showbox. Especially the tv shows, where HD Cinema is quite behind. That is just what I think. Please let me know if there's anyone who is using any other apps to watch their movies and tv shows.
I hope I helped

Barely any devices support screen casting, so this is not a viable solution.
and I don't know wtf Jdmccall02 is on about, how does HD cinema help when you can no longer choose which app to stream to.. I'm guessing you haven't updated.
If you go back to an old version of showbox, you get the 'this video is available yet' problem on 90% of the videos.
Going to 1 star mx tards
I don't know if you've seen this yet.. but here's a fix from the developer of Allcast. I tried it and it works.
http://www.reddit.com/r/showbox/comments/2xeiwi/growbox_a_solution_for_not_being_able_to_cast/
1. Uninstall MXPlayer
2. Make sure you install Growbox and run that first.
3. Make sure you install the beta version of Allcast (the one in the link on Reddit).
3. Showbox will now ask you which app you want to stream with.. choose Allcast.

showbox fix
I have tried the same instruction after installing growbox app its all working big thanks to big man who developed growbox and to the man who shared it good work guys.
BIG Thanks
So far I think the most practical option is to install the version available online 3.84.
As yet, no issue found with the older version but with multiple benefits.
older versions

With older versions like 3.84 you get "video unavailable" with ALL new movies and shows.

Uninstall mx player and download and growbox! Works as before!!!
Open in MX and then share
I always used LocalCast directly from ShowBox to cast to my Chromecast so I was a bit miffed when it started only playing in MX Player, but I just read on Reddit that if you let it open in MX Player, whilst it doesn't have a cast option, you can then click the options menu and 'share' then you'll get the option to open the stream in Local Cast or Allcast or whatever you choose to use and it apparently works a treat.
I'll be trying this tonight.
Does anyone know why Showbox did this though?

Mx Player on LENOVO Tab 2 A10-70

Hi,
I am trying to view live videos from MoneyControl android app on LENOVO Tab 2 A10-70. It throws an error to install Mx player. However, even after installing Mx player it does not work and throws the same error.
Do I have to install additional codec or get paid version of it?
Thanks.

This sounds like more of a question for the developers of "MoneyControl" if they are failing to detect MX Player's presence.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I am not able to view live video though Google Chrome. using the same tablet I believe it internally uses MX player - please correct me if I'm wrong.
Live video sites:
moneycontro llive (please google search - it does not allow me to post link)
ndtv live (please google search - it does not allow me to post link)
It looks like Mx player is not installed correctly on the tablet.
Do you know how to fix this issue?
Thanks
Does MX Playe work if you try to launch it by itself? If MX Player is able to launch itself as a standalone app, then the problem likely isn't with MX Player. Again, you should also go ask MoneyControl to see if they can help as well.
P.S. you can still post links if you remove the URL tags around them.

Mx Player Pro and Emby Offline files

Hi,
I hope this is the correct place to post this if not please advise where it should go.
I'm trying to use MX Player Pro as the External Player for Emby on my Android device, MX Player Pro plays the files fine when online, but there is an option to download files for offline viewing. When I try playing these with MX Player I receive a "can't play this link", I've contacted Emby and they state it's because the App (MX Player Pro in this instance), doesn't support Android storage access framework, I explained that MX Player Pro works ok with offline files using the YATSE App, but Emby support suggest they are probably hacking the true file URL rather than using SAF.
I'm not a developer and hence do not fully understand the differences but would really like to use MX Player Pro as the offline player for Emby, please can you comment and confirm if there's anything that can be done to get this working?
Regards,
Bob

That's weird. MX Player supports more schemes than any others. We have tried Emby ourself. But, it seems that download function needs premium subscription.
Kindly collect a bug report from MX Player help menu after the error (make sure that you selected save to file) & share with us here. We will check it out.

In the newer android versions third party apps can only collect the logs from their own apps. If you are still concerned about the privacy, Kindly send the bug report to [email protected] along with the information about the issue.

MX Player Subtitle Shortcut Gone

As you can see in the title, the subtitle shortcut is gone in my mx player android app after I updated it. The show I am watching already have subtitles with it and only needs activation from the shortcut and don't need an online subtitles download. Please fix this mx player devs. Your app was literally better than other video players, that's why I'm using it.

We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused. Unfortunately, this is caused by an android platform bug on Android 5.x. Request you to update the app to 1.13.2, and it should fix the issues. If the update is not yet showing up for you, you can download the same from our website http://mx.j2inter.com/download and install manually.
Thank You!
