I just recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy 4 Tab 7 inch. I use MX Video as my go to video player. My question is this (and I have googled and searched and come up with no answer) when I watch a video that is stored on an external sd card I would like it to automatically start the next video when the first is finished, but instead it just keeps repeating the same video over and over again, is there a setting that I am missing that makes it repeat like that. I am beating my head against a wall trying to figure this out.
Disable the loop in settings. I don't think it has autoplay or playlist.
Just open up MX Player and browse a folder, they should play one after the other if they are named in sequence. Rename the videos to 01.mp4, 02.mp4, 03.mp4 and so on.
P.S. This isn't the right forum, don't use google! use XDA!

Ask there all your doubts.
Yeah mx player doesnt have autoplay like some kind of netflix since youre not supposed to have entrie series stored on your sdcard....

Sorry if this was maybe supposed to be posted in another forum or thread.
Flashed with ZEUS 6, I went to listen to some songs of mine, and all the songs were blank: the song and album titles weren't there. When I pressed one of the blank songs, I got: "Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file," but the player showed the name of the song. I scrolled down and saw only three playable songs with the titles and album art listed. I went to My Files and was able to play the .mp3's there, though, for some reason. Recorded video just said, "Unsupported file type." I Google'd around as much as I could, but all of the solutions didn't go pass deleting a Twitter app, something I never downloaded or had. I think it might've had something to do with uninstalling BetterBatteryStats, but I'm unsure. I'm not sure if it's something I did or the ROM, which has been pretty buggy ever since I flashed it. I rebooted the phone already, a bunch of times, and it seems like the only option I have is to flash back to stock, unless there's another solution. This started happening today.
Extra details:
All the songs are on an external SD card.
iTag and Google music also only listed those 3 songs, but PowerAmp was able to list and play them fine (I downloaded it to see if it wouldn't play those songs).
Unable to record or play recorded videos.
EDIT: I fixed the music problem. As it turns out there was something called a .nomedia file on my SD card. I deleted it, but I still can't record or play recorded videos.
I am using my Samsung Note 10.1 to watch lots of instructional videos; each course is composed of 10-40 video files, stored in folders, subfolders etc
I have tried bunch of video players; they all can play videos ok, but once the device is rebooted I have to do the whole process again (start video player, point it to certain folder, scroll through the files I have seen already etc)
Would anyone suggest an application which could start playing from the last position the player has been stopped at? (i.e. the player should remember it's "state" (playlist, position etc and being able to start playing right away)
As an alternative fix - would it be possible to switch my tablet into "deep-sleep" (hibernation?) mode so it could stay in such mode for a long long time without draining the battery and, once waken up, restore last work session)?
Have you tried MX Player? I don't have a Note 10.1, but I use MX Player on my Note 2 and it always resumes from where I left off no matter what.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
how does it do it? As far as I can see, MX Player would higlite folder (and then file inside), but you will still have to navigate all the way to the file in order to start playing
is there a "resume play" button I have missed?
I probably don't really understand what you're asking.

I want video player app to recall exactly - which files it was playing the last time this app has been used - and start playing from the same spot
I want this to happen even after the tablet has been rebooted; I would start player, click "resume" button (or something like that) - and that's it
MX Player does give option in the video you last played of start over or resume after a reboot .
But the player will not open at the last played video after a reboot .
Neither am i aware of any player that does .

Can't say for certain, but I think this problem began following the upgrade to Android 5. First, I am using a Nexus 7 (2012) with an OTG flash drive to view mp4 videos. Previously it was simple matter of plugging in the OTG drive, which automatically brought up my Nexus Media Importer, where I selected the video. Normally this would by default bring up MX Player Pro. I've done this scores of times, and it has never missed a beat. Now I get a. menu popping up to select a player, only to find that MX Player is not even listed! I've combed through the Android and MX settings, but can find nothing that pertains. As I said, this the first time since the new OS that I've tried to play a video, so it seems logical to make it the leading candidate in the blame game.
I want my MX Player back ... any ideas?
Back on the menu
Well, don't I feel silly! A simple uninstall/reinstall set things right. I'll be MXing again tonight!
Hello,
I have used MX player for a long time as my default to open and watch videos found on line for my Samsung Galaxy S4. Suddenly any video I try to watch is not opening in MX player even though it was still listed as my default. I have seen times in the past where the phone prompts me to choose a player before playing a video and give me the option of once again naming MX as my default but now the video will play without using MX player or giving me the option to choose it. And of course I hate whatever player it is using (no pinch to zoom, etc.) I tried uninstalling MX and reinstalling from the play store but that didn't do it.
Could a setting have been changed somewhere or something blocking the player from opening?
I also have an android tablet I can't get to play videos in MX player but I could always get my phone to work. Just click the video on line and it opened in MX.
Can you help?
Thanks!
Can you post error logs using the Bug Report function in the MX menu?
If you are streaming videos, a sample URL would help diagnose the issue.
Did you recently upgrade the firmware? Stock or custom ROM?
I don't think I did anything different than I always do. Find any video I want to watch on line hit play it opens in MX player or offers me a choice for how I want to play it and I select MX player. Phone has stpped doing that without explanation. Videos are playing just not with MX player.
A sample URL would still help, just in case.
Also: "Did you recently upgrade the firmware? Stock or custom ROM?"
Please answer this question. Additionally, which version of the S4 is this? Europe? T-Mobile? etc.
And finally, the error logs should still be collected, as it may contain error codes. The description you just gave doesn't really give much useful information for the developer to work with.
I didn't upgrade anything I am aware of in my phone. It has just stopped opening videos in MX player that I am clicking on line to play.
It's an At&T S4 I believe that's the 337? USA.
No idea how to get the error logs or what you meant by stock or custom ROM. Do you mean did I do anything special to my phone? No. Same phone for 1.5 years out of the box.
As for URL...pick anyone you like. Doesn't matter what I watch or where I watch it. Any internet video I click on is not opening or even prompting me to watch it in MX anymore. Something is blocking it or a setting is changed somewhere. Could it be a security app?
My 4 month old Samsung tablet I bought at Costco same thing. But the phone always worked.
In terms of collecting an error, log, take a look at this guidance thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/guide-how-to-collect-logcat-report-bug-t2843144
When I say stock vs custom ROM, if it's 100% out of the box, then you are on the stock ROM; stock means "original manufacterer's" in this context.
Hi everyone,
I am looking for an app with the following features:
- Play all kinds of differently encoded videos
- have a daily automatically changing playlist of X videos that are played in loop all day long
I had a look at MX player, VLC etc., but they don't even seem to offer playlists ... (I thought about using macros to achieve that second feature, but without playlists ...)
I would be glad about any suggestions.

PS: Does it make sense to ask the developers of MX Player to implement such a feature in their pro version?
This can already be achieved in MX Player. In the video selection menu, select all videos in a folder, and press "play selected" at the toolbar at the top.
In your player settings when player a video, go menu -> play -> loop all
Thank you for your reply.
But I think in this case the videos will eternally be the same.
But I want a certain number of videos be looped for a day and the next day another certain number (for instance 5) of different videos be looped for another day.
you should use tasker
1-you create a folder "X" where you put your videos in
2-You create another folder "Y" where your put the videos that have to be played
3-with tasker you create a task that will move/copy files from "X" to "y" (you have to set up days and hour for this)
4-with tasker you create a task that will erase file in folder X (you can erase them at the end of the day for ex.)
It can a little bit hard but I think you can succeed with taker and mx.
Regards.
