More aggressive network buffering, please.

I enjoy watching videos that are hosted on my PC though Windows File Staring. MX Player plays them fine but does not buffer enough video to prevent hiccups in playback. This is especially true with very complex scenes in 1080p. Copying the same video to my device will play uninterrupted, leading me to believe this is an inadequate buffering issue. Pressing pause will not pre-buffer any large amount of video as the user might expect.

It's a well known issue. Since it's already listed in priority list hopefully the developer will improve it in next major version mx player v2.0

Version 2.0 huh. I was hoping this would be something that finds its way into [perhaps] the next minor update. Change some integer value from 50 to 300 and call it good.

Ask
Hello, Do not know if this is the thread for my question or not!? I want to know one thing; when reproduced before a live network link, entering places where (playing from network) and the link was there. Now not find it. And is there the last link I've attached. Me question is: I need to change something in the settings to locate? Or should I do?
Thank you friends for your attention.

Hello mrsdan1940: I don't understand your question. So let me gather some information to see if I can help you. Is your primary language English? Are you using the program MX Player for Android? It's a video audio media player for your mobile or tablet device.

[Bug] mx player get hang when touched on the screen while playing video

This problem was not before, with the same version of mx player. But, it appeared suddenly. I cant be able to figure out what is causing the problem.
Details of the problem and step to reproduce :
go to mx player and play any video (until now video get played as normal without issue) -> then touch the screen or try to slide up or down to change the volume or brightness -> video get stuck-> wait for sometimes -> device get automatically get rebooted
Device: MOTO G 16 GB rooted and with custom ROM (cyanogenmod ROM snapshot M9). I think there is no problem in custom ROM because video works perfectly in default player. and even I played video on mx player previously.
I have attached the logcat please look and let me know what to do.
Info about logcat: logcat stopped when mx player got hang.

Please do not post bug reports directly into the Feature Request list. Post them as a new thread. I've moved the post to a new thread for you this one time; next time please start a new thread with your bug report.

There is not enough information in the log file.
Please use MX Log Collector. It is available on Google Play Store.
Also following information will be help.
1. Used decoder.
2. If it happens on all videos.
3. What happens if run mx after shutting down network connections using airplane mode.

First of all thanks for the response.
I figured out what is the reason behind this problem. "show touches" option in developer settings causing the problem. when it is activated problem occur but when i deactivate that option mx player works fine.
Way to reproduce :
go to the system settings > then go to Developer option > check the box for "show touches" in input setting.> now go to mx player app and play any video and slide on the screen or touch > it will freez.
Decoder is default I didn't change the decoder or might be I dont have one.
It happens with all videos.
when I activate the airplane mode, problem is not resolved.
I have attached the bug report( taken from mx player ) and logcat of the system (taken from adb).
thanks

[Bug Report] MXPlayer hangs on online tv playing

Hi,
I have Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 with latest Android and I guess the latest MXPlayer update (just updated today). My internet connection is 50Mb/s. I use several online tv apps who use the MXPlayer. And frankly speaking it's a pain watching all of them. I contacted few of the developers and they said it's a player issue. Basically, shortly after I start any of them the player either hangs or stutter, or shows black screen. I tried all three types of decoding (SW, HW, HW+) but that doesn't help - they all have their own bad behavior and the end result is unwatchable stream. It seems the problem is mainly with content streaming over internet. One of the things I'm trying to watch is Waza Tv.
I'm not an expert on this. Just trying to get maybe hints on what I can set in the player to make it work better in these kind of situations. Can I change how much it buffers before it start playing live streams?
Thanks

You should post a log so that developer can find the reason of problem.

It looks like hardware specific. Can you post some link of any of these channels?

And unfortunately, network stream buffering is a known issue that the developer is working on.

[Q][android tv] mx player can't find subtitles

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.

I can't find any subtitles while searching in online in mx player. What is the reason?

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.

"bug" after 6.0.1 upgrade

Hi guys,
MX Player has been my favorite player for ages but after I've upgraded my GS5 to Android 6.0.1 it started doing something annoying. Before the update if I had a bunch of videos on a folder it would simply play one after the other. After the update the first video stops playing when it reaches the end but the next video doesn't start...instead I have to start it manually. I went to the MX Player settings, then Player and made sure the option "Back to list - return to the list after playback is completed" was unmarked. Any idea on how to fix this?

You can't upload here, upload to any cloud storage like Google Drive, Dropbox or Box & share the link. If you are not allowed to post the url due to minimum post count, just mask it like h**://www.example.com/path or _http://www.example.com/path

thx for your help friends

I was wondering if there was a fix for this issue.
My tablet (Galaxy Tab S) just received an OTA 6.0.1 update, and now has the same issue.

@rawfa
@Vanillo
@Ragepaw
Hope you guys are openning the videoa from either samsung file manager or Gallery. It's actually not a MX Player bug. It's a side effect of content provider. Latest Samsung File Manager and Gallery uses Content provider instead of forwarding normal file paths.
For example, MX Player will receive "content://[email protected]/external/video/media/12345" instead of actual file path. So, it may not be possible to open the next video when actual path of the file. Next button doesn't work with most of the known media players because of this new implementation.
Instead of File manager, you can use MX Player directly to open videos. If you want to use in Hierarchical Tree View, Just Go to Menu > View > Folders. To show all videos without showing any folders you may use "Files".

Thanks @ktsamy.
Unfortunate answer, but it also explains the other weird issue I have been seeing, which is MX Player showing a number instead of the filename.

Things changes with newer android versions.
From android 7.0 onwards it will be default on all apps having target SDK as 24.
It's unfortunate that Nougat will no longer allow the file scheme when target SDK is set to 24. So, either they have use Target SDK as 23 or have to switch to content scheme. But, When content scheme is used the intent receiver will not aware the actual path.[emoji20]
