Hi all-
I'm trying to watch a movie on the fuze, and while I love letterbox fullscreen on my plasma at home, on my 3" screen i'd like to get as much picutre as possible. I'd like the DivX player or CORE to play fullscreen like WMP does and takes up the whole screen portrait-wise. DivX will switch to portrait when put into fullscreen, but it leaves 1/3 of the screen blank on top and bottom. There doesn't appear to be settings to fix this. CORE gives you much more control over aspect-ratio, pixel size, screen size, zoom, etc etc. It even has an orientation setting, however I can't seem to get it to flip portrait and then go fullscreen. Anyone have any experience as how to accomplish this? I was going to try to find the 'rotate screen' icon on the programs tab (like the tilt used to have) then go back into the movie with CORE, but I don't think the fuze can do that
Anyone with anything helpful would be appreciated
Im not sure what you are asking, but that probably just me (its early). With core, I get full screen, in any orientation i want. Just tap the movie screen and it should go portrait...
divx player has a rotation option for when your in full screen.
could you let me know where that option is on divx player? when i tap the screen it brings up a volume slider (up/down) and a seek slider (left\right)
settings only says fullscreen doesnt appear to have any orientation option
and actually, with core, my movie (700mb) freezes up when i hit fullscreen. so itmay in fact play in landscape and use up the whole screen, but perhaps because the file is so large it seems to just freeze the screen - maybe i should let it sit for a few minutes see if it adjusts itself? audio continues playing, but picture freezes up
its some where in settings i dont remember and dont have divx reinstalled yet from my last flash. you can get out of full screen with a couple taps, i also dont remember off the top of my head. in settings there should be an option for no rotation or rotation left or right. the divx player is very simple, not alot of options. i dont think its also a great performer, its staggery (prolly just my videos). i havent used my fuze as a media device much since i only recently got it so i dont have any other suggestions.
I have problem in Mx player with it's lock mode when I lock the screen the video continue to play but this is were problem occurs I cannot unlock it from lock mode because there is no toggle to unlock it. And on the contrary all video gestures such as video zoom, Brightness, Volume,Video Seek,etc. Do work. It used to work fine on my samsung s duos but I'm having problem with my new mobile Xiaomi mi3 running on android 4.4.2.

It looks like system's internal problem. Are you using stock ROM?
@1923swapnil
Are you using kids lock?
I had tried out the kids lock , kids lock (touch effects) and lock but none worked for me. And yes I'm running on the stock miui rom
@1923swapnil
If you have installed & enabled the kids lock, then you have to touch all four corners of your screen in the clockwise. It will unlock the player.

Hmm. I've tried it on my Xiaomi Mi Pad running Android 4.4 but lock worked just as expected.
I will try to make a workaround for this issue but all keys will not be blocked.

I think In kids lock there won't be any dots.
Try Kidslock + touch effects
When You can touch the screen MX Player will show some animation. So you can see whether it detects touch input or not.
If it's not detecting then there might be something which prevents mx player from getting the input. We have to check which one is interfering with mx lock screen controls.
If it detects then you haven't touch the screen properly. you have to touch properly in the each edge of the screen in clockwise to unlock.
eg: Top left - Top right - Bottom right - Bottom left
BTW in lock mode (not kidslock or kidslock + touch effects) if you touch the screen there should be a lock botton on the top left side of your screen. Touching it will unlock the device.

I have tried out what you said but then also it's not working. Video players such as uc browser inbulid video player and with vlc beta version this video players lock mode works fine. I think so its a problem with mx player. Probably it's not compatible with my mobile.

Hmm, that's weired. I checked translation but there is no error as you know.
Maybe resource is not installed or corrupted.
Please tell him/her to completely remove and install MX Player again.
Ok.
And i get one small bug. When I lock the screen and then unlock the top bar very fast disappears. This small bug is reproduced in Mode #3 only.
this is the best player ever, I'm so happy the latest version has speed control, I would like to request an option to turn off the screen of the phone whilst screen mirroring/miracast. thanks.

What we really need is chromecast support!
So far the only app playing AVI it is Google Photos!
We need this app to support chromecast as soon as possible!

I believe that proper UI for screen minorring -- including HDMI out, Miracast, Chromecast -- might be supported in early version of 1.8.x

It is just in technical review stage but will be supported whatever.
And If casting is supported only on limited number of container formats, it would be hard to be called "supported".
any news on this?, I love watching on my TV screen mirroring from my phone, please add the option to screen mirror whilst the screen display is off or make it go dark totally, when I screen mirror with VLC android it turns off the screen but MX player is much better and I would prefer to use it for HD videos, there's no point in watching on TV and my phone is showing the video at the same time, please make this happen.
has this been implemented?

what do you mean?
I am looking forward for this feauture as well to be implemented. Right now I am able to turn off my screen using a third party application which turns off my phone's screen with the proximity sensor but keeps the video playing on my TV, the only problem is that for some reason the subtitles "hang" exactly when the phone's screen is turned off..
Example: I turn off the screen while the subtitles say "Hello" and this "Hello" message will stay there until the video finishes or I turn on my phone's screen again. It will be better if MX Player had an option (for example a button) which turns "off" the screen, and turns it "on" on tapping or double tapping the screen again, so we don't need any third party apps to achieve this result.

What 3rd Party Software do you use to turn off your screen?
I am using Proximity Service (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ss.proximityservice), another alternative to it is Black Screen Of Life (http://bsol.derpdeveloper.com) which works too, but I prefer the first one. They are doing the same thing and both have problems with the subtitles ( I think it's a problem from MX Player since the video doesn't have any problems).

I would also like to know if this feature has been implemented yet?
When I play video with MX Player, connected to my TV via HDMI cable, everything play's fine but screen on my tablet stays ON. Even after choosing Background Play from the menu, the screen stays ON.
If I use the UHD Player(stock and suck(because I can't choose what to play next and it has no settings)) then the screen turn OFF. Please add this feature in MX player, people have been asking for this since 2015 and had this problem since 2012!

When I go into my gallery and click a video from the grid of photos and videos, it starts playing the video without the audio (even before I press play) and loops it as like an auto-generated preview of the video. Then, when I press play, it actually plays the video and audio together and shows the entirety of the clip.
How do I disable this? It's slow and glitchy and dumb. I want the clip to play when I click it, not just the video sans audio. And, to boot, it makes everything about 2-3 times slower to click and load due to a hitch/lag when you actually want it to play the clip.
I'm also experiencing a weird lag in the video player that I think might be a bug.
As I noted in the OP, when I open a video from the grid, it "previews" with white borders. If I click the play button in the center, my screen goes completely black for 1 second, then the video comes back, but this time with white borders, and then actually starts playing. So, I get like a 1.5-2 second lag between when I click the play button and when the video plays.
Does anyone else have this issue? I'm going to try turning video enhancer off and see what happens.

this stops the next video from playing. however, as EYC has mentioned - it's the looping of the video with the white bars that's the issue. my wife has the s7 and it doesn't display this behavior....

Does yours also temporarily go to a fully black screen when you hit the play button, causing the video to hitch between pressing play and it actually playing? That's what I find most irritating.

mine does exactly that. the fact that the video auto loops too drives me insane.
As a workaround to the stock gallery's wonky video player, I'm using Google Photos (which has its own built-in video player).
One of the cool things about Google Photos is you can access it directly from within the camera app. There's a setting called "Camera shortcut" within Photos, which overlays a shortcut thumbnail onto the camera. You can press and drag this thumbnail shortcut anywhere you want - you can even place it on top of the stock gallery thumbnail if you want. After you shoot a video or take a picture, the little thumbnail pops up and you can jump directly to Photos to watch the video or whatever.
Rather than use the work around suggested by Henrybravo, has anyone actually managed to find the toggle box to turn off auto play on the current selected video in Gallery? I have exactly the same issue as eyc and kdfdawg and it's driving me nuts!

This is not the issue! The problem is with Gallery, not Video Player. I've already turned off auto play next. I want to stop Gallery doing the silly silent looping video preview. There seems to be no setting to control this. I think it's a new "feature" in Gallery, and is really annoying. I have an S7 edge running Oreo.
G!!

Go into gallery app settings, go to "about gallery", where it says "version xxx.x.xxx.x" tap that seven times. Press back and there should then be "gallery labs" at the very bottom. Go in there, disable "video preview on picture list" close the app (make sure it's closed properly through "recent" then open gallery again and it should no longer show video previews!!
Samsung Gallery used to be good years ago.
Today it sucks. Try a 3rd party app like Gallery.
If anyone has a better freeware/ad free Gallery app,
please post it

Thanks a million
There is a bug in MX Player Pro for Android, v 1.9.24... at least, when it runs on my Pixel 2 with Android version 9. (I can give full kernel version and build number if needed).
1) When the movie starts, it sets the brightness (backlight) to medium low.
2) Swiping up-down the right side of the screen changes the volume.
3) Swiping up-down the left side of the screen also changes the volume.
Note that in MX Player (free version), swiping up-down the left side of the screen changes the brightness (backlight).
This has been broken for months!!!
I like the GUI.... I can't stand ads, so I paid for the Pro version... but the paid version has a bug that the free version does not!
OK, OK... I finally found where things were going wrong:
Apparently, my the box to optionally show the brightness control was UNCHECKED. I checked it, and now things are working as I'd like.
For others with this problem, you can check the required box either way:
From the video list window: (menu dots) -> Settings -> Player -> Controls -> make sure "Brightness" is checked.
From the video player window: (menu dots) -> Display -> Settings -> Controls -> make sure "Brightness" is checked.
Does anyone notice the auto rotation bug?
Does anyone notice that the auto rotation works sometimes even when it is turned off? It quickly goes to landscape mode and then switches back to portrait.
For those of you who didn't notice this one, Try playing a video in landscape on MX Player with Auto Rotation OFF.
Then press the back button. If I'm right the display will go back and forth between portrait and landscape mode for once.
I'm using this App in Android.

Indeed, it's a bug on the Android itself (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/69168442) which is yet to be fixed by the google. Can you please specify the MX Player version you are using? We have already implemented a workaround for the same in the recent update.

In the newest Android UI 2 ETF5 for Note 9 there is a bug. When you record a movie in a portrait mode, then want to view it clicking from the camera app itself, then video orientation is never correct. It is always landscape.
