I am downloading mx player custom codec for my device htc desire c.. But on downloading arm v7 neon the download keeps cutting at 3.22 mb... what to do??/ plz tell me...
First codec is needed only if the device doesn't support mostly default codec in mx player itself supports and plays videos in most devices
Try enabling s/w instead if h/w and play video
Download codec only If mx player recommends codec

I was searching the play store with "ac3 codec", but they all seem to be connected to a specific application. Can you provide a link for one?
Thanks

Read the mx player custom codec sticky thread in this support forum. It has support for all codecs incl dts & ac3
Hi !
In France , an ISP called FREE released a new TV BOX which is called the Freebox Mini 4K.
This box runs Android TV .
It has a Broadcom BCM7252 Brahma15 dual-core 1.5Ghz SOC .
Many users have installed Kodi but there have some problems .
Many users use MXPlayer because it is the best player on this Android Box, it is on the AndroidTV Play Store and it has the best video quality. But however KODI works with HDMI and S/PDIF passtrough in AC3 / DTS .
Is it possible to have this option with MxPlayer ?
Can anyone assist in the French community? = D
hi, i have the same problem here:
with the new Sony Android TV, i think that MX Player it's the only way to play videos on that tv (VLC actually sucks), but there's that problem with DTS encoding!
Can mx player developers fix it? :good:
Same here in the US. The default plex player does not support mkv, so I have to use mx player pro. Unfortunately MX player pro does not give me the ability to pass through audio! My receiver can decode DTS, Dolby, etc I just need the player to do audio passthrough!
v 1.7.40 can do this. My device have native support for ac3/dts but with 1.8.1 MX refuse to play ac3. Damn it
Hmm @sumantaadk I assume that when it previously worked, you were using HW, and not HW+ ?
@ everyone else, I assume you have already tried the custom audio codec? MX by itself does not support DTS.

My device only support sw decoder for the video I have. I still can play ac3/dts with previous version but the beta completely remove the possibility. I think developer removed support due to copyright issue. So the current issue is bug or because of copyright?
AC3/DTS was support was removed by default due to copyright, yes; that's one of the main reasons to use the custom codec.
I would have thought that if you use HW and passthru to Android media framework to use the device's native render, that this method would have allowed for DTS...

Beacuse, you are using old custom codecs. If you want to play dts or ac3 you must use the custom codec compiled for the specific version of the player. After the update, if the old codec is found as incompatible it will be automatically unloaded. MX Player 1.8.x needs custom codec version 1.8.0.

Sorry but I am not using any custom codec. I am using unofficial cm11 which have inbuilt support for ac3/dts. I have clean MX player. Current market version support both ac3/dts.

Can you play videos with dts/ac3 tracks in HW decoder?

Make sure that you have enabled HW+ audio on SW video.
HW+ is broken in 1.8.x on some devices according the beta page. If HW+ is broken in your device, you may not be get the audio.

Yes. MX Play ac3 with hw decoder. I rarely use ac3 content so that's not the big deal for me. All other formats are suppoted with hw+ or sw.

Audio is auto disabled by MX in HW+
Hi, I found this old thread by searching DTS / AC3 Passthrough. So is this feature active in Mx Player pro. I have the 1.7 version with custom codec, and when I play DTS or AC3 file, the audio is automaticly converted by MX player into a 5.1 output, if I select a 5.1 preset on my AVR I can here 5.1 sound, but I would like to have the audio be direct stream to my AVR, and AC3/DTS be converted by my AVR.

Use HW decoder without custom codec. It will pass the audio stream to the audio receiver. If your receiver has dts/ac3 decoder, it will play true 5.1 channel (or whatever) present in the audio stream.

Thank you for your answer it seems to work perfectly with HW, I have to try with HW+ to see if it works too.

It won't work with HW+ or SW currently. Probably it may be possible in the next version 1.9.0

Ok, thank you for your help, and lets wait for the next version.
hello, i found the info in this thread very useful thanks. However i wasnt able to quite get everything working so i was hoping someone might confirm i am doing everything right.
i'm using mx player on a nvidia shield to play a stream of h.264 video and Dolby Digital audio, its from my tv server. i want to pass through the audio to my avr which can handle this and looking at posts above i need to use the hw decoder without the custom codec. unfortunately i get no video with the hw decoder. with both the software and hw+ decoders i get video and then with a custom codec i get audio but its downmixed.
is the hd+ decoder with custom codec and downmixed audio the best i can expect for now and is it likely that the 1.9 release mentioned may fix this?
thanks!
