Pan on Note 10.1
Please add to the bug list the pan problem on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, detailed in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/svXy0vhIUOQ
Hello, thanks for this great app.
I wanted to request something I think is a great feature, but then I was happy to see it already in the high priority list.
Popup Player: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mx-videoplayer/ws_voRX-MVc/discussion
But then I looked at the original thread and it dates back 2 years. Is there any word on development of this?
I see so many video apps successfully implement this and it seems to work wonderfully well for playing local files as well as streaming. For stress testing I even tried out large video files and heavy streams while loading up heavy apps and games and I never noticed lag or stutter, on my first generation nexus 7.
MX Player has always been my favorite android player since my nexus one, 4 years ago until today. And I would love to keep supporting it but I'm now downloading other players when I need floating video.
So I hope for some good news on development of this great feature, thanks!

I have the Moto X. Since is shoots at a 16:9 ratio it won't go past 7.2mp. Is it possible to add full 10mp 16:9 support?

auto resume on startup
Hi
This player is awesome.
Here a feature needed for android car radio. Android car player are more and more popular, a nice feature would be an option when we start the player, the last played file start automatically on resume, like a normal car cd player do. (no need to start the application automatically, there is already an application for that).
Because each time the car is turned off, all applications are stopped by the android system. of course, if you use the integrated player it resume automatically, but it does not play all format and the interface is not good enough.
Thanks!
Cedric
@AlbertAS and @xenyz please make a new forum thread for your feature requests, then link that thread here, so that it can be added to the list. With a thread for your specific request, it is easier to keep track of each item.

This is a great video player indeed, but as a car stereo app it's not ideal I'd say.. cause that's not its main purpose.
In my car I've been using PowerAmp for over 4 years now, it works great with everything you need from auto resuming to lockscreen controls etc. PowerAmp was one of the first apps to integrate all these things and still does it best imo. Although many other players have adopted the same functions.

I agree that PowerAmp is probably one of the best music player apps out there.
Apologies in advance if I'm doing this wrong.
I have MX Pro, and would like to see it brought to Google TV...namely the Sony NSZ-GS7.
It doesn't appear in the Play Store for GTV, and I have tried sideloading MX player and it offers a "not supported" message.

Hello wonderful MX Player forum
Ok, beginning with Android 5.0 a user can now perform a Search (filter search) in the "Settings".
It intuitively helps less Android-saavy users find what specific system settings they want without these users (or any users) getting lost in a maze of menus
I think it would be nice if the Settings menu in MX Player had the same filter 'Search' function which would highlight words when typed.
MX Player already features a brilliant nifty search function but this is only for searching the per-scanned library of found video files.
This is not a needy feature but definitely one to consider for a future version in this same existing Material Design UI

May be help on finding proper setting
Hello everyone. This is my first post on XDA so please bear with me. I am using MX video player for Android on my Samsung Galaxy S3. My goal is to locate the status file of a video and extrapolate from it the watched status (Not finished/finished) and the resume point. I've tried searching for threads that may help but turned up empty handed. My ultimate goal is to use this data to update my own personal SQL video database that I've created which is synced to my xbmc. I could use Trakt (if there is support for that) but directly updating my database is somewhat preferable. If any one can help me with this I would greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I actually did not know about the export feature. I would like this process to be as automated as possible. I was thinking of using dropsync or something of the sort to sync the local files and run whatever parser I plan on writing either remotely or locally on my phone. But I may be asking for too much.
However, I did just look into the exporting which seems like it will work out but there are two hitches in my master plan.
1.) I will be streaming most of my shows externally from my home server using BubbleUPnP which uses MX player as the renderer. All of that works great. So when I checked the xml file it has the activity but the name listed for the stream is the ip address followed by some generated file name (ex a1b2c3d4.mp4) which is not the actual name of the video I am watching and makes it useless. Whether it's being changed my BubbleUPnP or MX player is something I have to figure out.
2.) The position listed for the video in the xml file is the frame number which may be a pain for me to work with.
I'd really like to get the information as is as in the attached picture. It is a screenshot of the info of a selected video displayed through MX player. In essence I'm trying to figure out where that data is being stored on my mobile.
Sorry if this is a bit confusing and I appreciate any help. Thanks
@Royekx
1. How do you play the video?. In my tests it has right name on the activity logs. Kindly note that some file managers acts as localhost & will forward the encoded uri rather than the actual one.
2. The position mentioned in xml file is "Time in milliseconds". You can easily do a calculation to convert into sec or min or Hrs whatever you want

Hi there
I installed mx player on my android tv box (freebox mini 4k) and when I watch video I click on search online subtitles, entering movie title and it shows nothing...
I configured languages preferences in the app settings (french + english).
Am I missing something ?
I am watching movies from macbook using plex media server if it's helpfull...
Thx by advance
opensubtitles.org protocol looks like being changed or broken somehow.
We will contact opensubtitles.org.
I warned you about it in a previous contributions, and no one answered. I hope you manage to fix it soon. This feature I often used.
thx for the reply so I understand it's about the opensubtitles api
I do not think there is a problem in Opensubtitles.org api, because other applications have already corrected the loading of the title. I got the MX Player buy and support the developer, but 4 months on the application did not reach anyone. 10 days no response to gmail or here on the forum. Hmm .- (

The developer is busy with the major upgrade 1.8.
It's almost in final stages. He may start the beta testing anytime soon.
Be patient.

Thank you for the answer. I will look forward to a new version comes out, perhaps as soon as possible, because I drive searching for subtitles of your application often used. Among other supports as the only search from opensubtitles.org Regardless of the name of the video, which seek out other applications by inserting video, but when I have a video that is: 448548sdssda45545sada5sd45.mp4 so I do not find in others. That was not the case.
Anyway, if it is possible to add the possibility of a larger set subtitle line and also searching always have the latest version according to the searched word. I should be if I was looking for: The Simpsons S27 E02 showed it to me always locate the latest headlines.
ps: please do not have the possibility to make action on the MX PLAYER and data necessary to apk for $ 1? You would have bought your application more people. Thanks for your time and service.

Do you get any messages?
Can you specify what you are searching for..?
I regularly get the message "error occurred during communicating with opensubtitles.org. please try again later" but the main issue is for 3 days now when it dose work and get subtitles it get a long list of subtitles that has no relation to the search text.
infect I believe the returned subtitle list is the same regardless of what the search text I enter is.
lets say for example I enter "haven s02e03" in the search for subtitles I get the same long list of irrelevant subtitles.
the online subtitle is unusable now at all.

It might be temporary issue on opensubtitles.org side. It's working on my device as of now.
Hi,
I thank you for the amazing app.
Could add subscene.com as a search option for online subtitles. It is maybe the most famous subtitle site.
Thank you

subscene doesn't provide any public APIs to access its database. So, it's not possible.
