I'm going on holiday in a few days, and while travelling I want to watch some episodes of the Blacklist. I downloaded the episodes I want to watch, but my audio port on my OnePlus One is broken. I don't want to fix it, because it'll cost me a ****load of money, so I'm looking for another option to watch the episodes on my OPO. Now I'm still owning this Samsung Galaxy S2+, and I thought, maybe it's possible to send the music to my S2+ and watch the episode on my OPO while using bluetooth. I hope this is possible, if so, please let me know.

I had the same issue. The only working solution is to install first from Google Play "Bluetooth Connect & Play" application (author: Carl Parziale). Launch the application, go "tweaks" menu, and select "Start player on basic bluetooth connect only". When you cennected with the car, choose VLC player to play. This way you can see the movie and listen the audio the same time. Unfortunatelly this application - and many others - does not work with MX Player, as MX Player is rather a movie player than audio player.

The OP is something different than you are expecting. The user wanted to play video in OPPO & Audio in S2.
In your case, I have read the description of the app. It just connects the bluetooth device & starts the third party app to play. They support limited apps. If you want to use MX Player, just pair the audio device directly from your settings. Open the MX Player & start playing. Since you device is paired with audio system it will automatically route the audio to your car audio system.

Hello Guys,
As all of you know that OPO comes with pre-installed Video Player. Which I am not a huge fan off. I was using Samsung Galaxy S3 in 2013 mid. I love there video player because of the ability to make playback audio in video player at virtual 7.1 which gives a boost to the audio and if you have 5.1 or 7.1 audio muxed in your video source it just make so much of difference in the listening experience. So, that feature I am searching in multiple video players till now. Like MX Player, MX Player Pro, VLC and some others. But found this feature on none of the app. So, is der any way to port that video player app from Samsung S5 or S4 for OPO?.
And my second question is how to make Poweramp as my default music player. Because whenever I plugin my headphone it just pop's up the Play music. So, any help on this.?
Regards
It wouldn't be possible to make Samsung video player to work on our phones. It is possible, but it takes a lot of work since the video player depends on the TouchWiz framework which is closed source. So that means, you'd have to make a TouchWiz rom which wouldn't be worth making since you're back porting closed source and a lot of functionality would be broken. It could be fixed throughout time but android L would be out by then.
Try disabling play music if you don't use it. Go into poweramp settings audio headset and enable pause and resume at the very top of the options.

Thanks for the reply. Let me try that out with poweramp
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
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.

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?

Greetings,
T-mobile Galaxy Note Edge (Lollipop ver. 5.1.1)
When playing mp3 music file using the default media player, the music randomly stops playing about a few minutes into the first song. player controls still work (player hasn't frozen), but no sound, nor is there movement from music slide bar indicator. problem is still present when I restart the music app. the only way I manage to get the media player to work again is to restart the phone, then the media function normally. Is there a fix for the default player app, or an alternative player app that can be controlled by the bluetooth accessories (bluetooth smart watch, or headset)? Thanks in advance.
You might consider trying PowerAmp - it's a pretty descent music player app with tons of features. Not sure about bluetooth actually but you go ahead and give it a try - it's a paid app but got trial.
btotaku - Thanks for the advice. I can fess up a "$1.00" for an app. Does this app have full android integration, I mean that can the app functions be controlled externally by bluetooth (volume, rev/cue)?
Not sure about this but hey, download it for free and give it a try for 14 days; if it works and you like it you might consider it.
I get error that video playback has stopped because another player is using audio device, I like choosing the play alone option so that mx player and other players would be stopping each other whenever I decide am using a certain player. All in all, I MUST decide to unselect play alone option so that I get to play videos.

It seems that when your system refuses to grant the audio focus. It's a standard practice to request the audio focus for playing any audio. If some other app is already playing, the system will notify it so that it can pause/stop till the requested app completes the playback.
But, the system may refuse if the device is in the call state. If there is no call in progress, it could be a firmware bug which leaves the device in the call state or another app is using the voice call stream. Kindly try again after restarting.
Disabling the play alone is a workaround for the issue. MX Player will play the videos even if the audio focus is not granted by the system. However, it may result in different issues like MX Player may not pause the video when you receive a call or some other app starts playback.
