[Q] Unable to use mxplayer on android 5.1.1 - MX Player

Hi all guys !
In the past i used mxplayer for playing video from my browser (chrome/dolphin).
Now, with android 5.1.1 i'm not able to choose mxplayer for streaming online video.
I did these things without any luck:
-full wipe
-change rom (slimlp, cm12..)
-look into app manager for change default app
-use default app manager (from play store) for select mxplayer as default video player. Videos continue to open on stock browser player.
My device: oneplus one, root, broken os rom, boeffla kernel.
Please help, have a good day.

Many browsers has implemented their own players using mediaplayer api.
If you have stock browser try that. It may work.

Is possible to disable this mediaplayer api ? currently on my setup i don't have stock browser, in the future i will try with stock browser.
For now i solved some of my problems doing this: dolphin browser+jetpack+flash player always on (+flash player apk).
Thanks a lot

Were you able to install flash player apk on latest Android 5.1.1 or did you fetch some modded apk?
I have just obtained flash player apk from http://androidpicks.com/adobe-flash-player-latest-apk-download/ as this site claims it can be used on Android 5.0 and later. The same apks are also available on Adobe's archive pages. Seems like these can be used on later versions as well although these were developed for Android 4.0 and previous versions. The pathetic thing is Adobe has abandoned flash for android. And it seems like they are going to abandon it for Windows as well.
Besides, you should also try UC Browser as that still gives option to play videos with external player. Otherwise, it's builtin player is also no less than MX.

Click the button on the upper right corner of Jetpack and then select mxplayer from the list. If it still doesn't work, you can send an email to [email protected]. That's what I always do.

Hi!
Download Dolphin Browser from Google Play.
and then go to:
dolphin lab - search for it in Google
and download flash player
Set flash player as "always on" in settings of Dolphin Browser and set user agent as PC.
You can also download adblock from Dolphin Lab but in some cases you need to disable it (sidebar) to watch a stream.
Without dolphin browser and flash player I dont have any sound as well:/ Maybe somebody will help with this issue? I would prefer to watch streams without flash player (it "eats" my battery really fast) but without sound I stay with the flash player solution. Soon I will have the Lollipop update and it seems that flashplayer no longer works with Dolphin Brower under Android L.
PS. Im not allowed to post external links (I need at least 10 post on XDA forum) so if you have a problem then send me a message.

Thanks fo
Thanks for your reply.I use android stockbrowser for watching live streaming through flash, but i think the quality of video is better playing it by 3rd party media player.I tested also other media players but unfortunatelly no sound!!!Maybe the fault is hiden not in media players, but somewhere else in the decryption of the audio files.

[Resolved] [bug] Preferred media player not set in Pro/nightly build versions

This is not a problem for me - I can use the ad supported version.
I'm just mentioning that it happens.
Device Manufacturer & Model : Kogan Agora Smart TV
Android Version : V4.2.1
Rom Info : Build: Konka/full_konka_6369_AP/konka_6369_AP:4.2.1/JOP40D/V2.0.0:userdebug/dev-keys
Detailed Problem Description : When using the pro version of MX Player or nightly build, the TV does not remember the default media player (MX Player) and asks to choose the player again when playing the same filetype.
.
Steps to reproduce the problem :
Load the pro version, play media, select MX Player, select always use MX Player.
It asks to choose the player again when playing the same filetype.
Load the ad version, play media, select MX Player, select always use MX Player.
It remembers that MX Player is the default player and doesn't ask again for that filetype.
When I reload the Pro version - it doesn't remember the selection again.
It's the same with all filetypes.

It's an android feature.
So, It might be a ROM issue.

@ktsamy Thanks for your reply.
I'm curious why it happens with the paid version and not the free version?

Would you try after removing free version?
As KTSamy said, there are very small differences and all features are same.

@ktsamy
Yes I am, I've been back and forward between pro and ad supported for different versions and it's repeatable.
I even reset the machine because I thought something was FUBAR.

When i install the Pro version there is only that version on the TV - it doesn't allow two different versions. Is that what you meant?

It's strange....
Uninstall Free version
From Application manager open MX Player Pro info & clear the default (if enabled)
Just try to open anyfile & select mx player pro as always.
Close the video
open the mx player pro app info from application manager & check whether clear defaults button is re enabled again or not.

It's a locked down customised Android - there is no application manager with that feature. Only an install/uninstall manager app. And google play.
When I upgrade the free version then it remembers the default media player and uses MX Player free.
When I load the Pro version then it asks which media player I should use and doesn't remember the choice.
Place a hold on this thread - I've tested again, and instead of loading my saved .XML settings
I configured the changes from a fresh install of V1.7.38 Pro release and it is behaving as it should.
I haven't changed the codec settings and others that I usually alter - but I'll test further and report back.
@ktsamy
Please delete this thread - the issue has not reappeared after configuring MX player manually, without using a saved XML file.
Thanks

Problem playing videos from NAS

Hi. I have a problem playing videos from my home network storage (I am on android m custom rom / samsung note 3). Previously when I was on Lollipop I could play videos directly by mx player using Ds file apk/ from synology NAS. Right now when I choose some video file it displays it by Opera web browser. Does somebody know how to change it?

Clear the defaults of Opera & in App Links set to ask everytime. if it doesn't fix the issue, Probably it's a rom bug. The bug was there in marshmallow itself. But, later it was fixed by google.
Just uninstall opera temporarily & check again. All missing apps will back to list. You can install opera again.

[BUG] or [PROBLEM]: since phone update, MX Player no longer default for browsers HELP

Background: Purchased MX Player Pro. Watch a lot of video in my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin. Often for work (training). Used to be that in either mobile browser, I would browse to the video and when I told it to play MX Player Pro would be the player in which I watched the video, which is critically important and MX Player has video controls (like swiping to go forward and backward) that the system video player doesn't.
This morning my Galaxy Note 5 from Verizon got an update, update N920VVRU2BPG5. Since then, in both browsers on my phone, the video only play in the craptastic system video player. I've looked for a way to change that default and I do not see any options. Again, what I am trying to do is make it be the way it was, with videos played from either of my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin being launched in MX Player by default, not the system video player it seems to have defaulted back to. (To be clear, we are NOT talking about setting a FILE default).
I don't know that this is considered a bug or not, but it's a giant problem.
What's the solution?
Thanks.
This *may* be a a different kind of thing, I've done some more testing in Dolphin and found that when I enable Dolphin Jetpack for Flash, it goes back to working properly. I'm not sure why, my two conjectures are either:
a) MX Player is not in the mix at ALL, but that the recent update swapped my browsing player from Flash based to HTML5 based, and HTML5 video players do not (possibly) support swipe gestures, or
b) By switching Dolphin Jetpack for Flash on, it enable dolphin to properly router the video playback to the MX Player.
Either way, that seems to be the fix for Dolphin, now I have to see if a similar fix can be applied to Mobile Chrome.
Thanks.
@sindyr
If chrome plays on itself it may not possible. If it's forwarded to stock player it might be different issue raised from Samsung's idiotic implementation of default apps.
FYI, in almost all samsung marshmallow devices if you select a app it's always set as default. Unlike LP there won't be a option to select once. Just go to Application Manager > Select Video (If Stock Player is default). From the "Set Defaults" option "Clear Defaults" & set the App Links to always ask. Now, Chrome will ask again to select. But, keep in mind that when you select the any other app it will be the new default.
It's not possible to intercept a html5 video from a browser. Nowadays most of the browsers are implementing their own mediaplayer based on android mediaplayer API.

Choosing Video Player in Browser

Hi all, I posted this in the Android Help thread but got no answer so figured I'd try here instead.
like the title says I'm having trouble figuring out how (or if it's even possible) to make the browser prompt me to choose "Play Online" or "Download" after clicking a video link like it used to on Marshmallow... Assuming I want to play browser videos using MX Player instead of ****ty in-browser HTML5 players, is there anyway I can make this happen on Nougat without having to copy paste the link to MX Player manually?
I use Tugapower Nougat (coming from RR Marshmallow), UC and Dolphin Browser (Flash On-Demand + JavaScript On). For MX Player I'm using latest version with the setting to Play Media Links checked. All the same apps+settings I had on marshmallow.
Is this an android nougat issue, a Rom or app issue?? If anyone knows how to disable the built-in dolphin video player that'd be useful info too. Just don't understand why it doesn't work on Nougat but worked on marshmallow. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
