MX Player SDK for Android dev (like vitamio) - MX Player

Hi,
Are there an MX Player SDK that we can integrate into an Android project. And use the player as mediaplayer or a surfaceview, like vitamio sdk, so we avoid open an intent and stay in the some app and customize the player.
best regards,

Read the FAQ link in the sticky welcome thread; there's a public API for MX.

sorry but using this API, we need always to open the player in new intent. I need to use the player in my custom layout so I can a add a dialog over the player or mke a layout in wich the player is a part of the view not in full screen.
It's for a set top box use.

I'm not sure it was ever the developer's intention to allow for that... though I'll let him answer this question.

MX Player is not designed as a SDK from the beginning unlike Vitamio.
Also I am not sure if it will be supported in the future. But I will let you know if I decide to support SDK.

Recommendation Row in Android TV

Hi,
VLC automatically adds recommendation row to Android TV main screen while MX Player does NOT have this option.
Is it possible to enable it?
THank you.

Currently, this is not supported by the MX player. We will convey your feedback to our development team for future improvements.

Mx Player Pro and Emby Offline files

Hi,
I hope this is the correct place to post this if not please advise where it should go.
I'm trying to use MX Player Pro as the External Player for Emby on my Android device, MX Player Pro plays the files fine when online, but there is an option to download files for offline viewing. When I try playing these with MX Player I receive a "can't play this link", I've contacted Emby and they state it's because the App (MX Player Pro in this instance), doesn't support Android storage access framework, I explained that MX Player Pro works ok with offline files using the YATSE App, but Emby support suggest they are probably hacking the true file URL rather than using SAF.
I'm not a developer and hence do not fully understand the differences but would really like to use MX Player Pro as the offline player for Emby, please can you comment and confirm if there's anything that can be done to get this working?
Regards,
Bob

That's weird. MX Player supports more schemes than any others. We have tried Emby ourself. But, it seems that download function needs premium subscription.
Kindly collect a bug report from MX Player help menu after the error (make sure that you selected save to file) & share with us here. We will check it out.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response, I've got the report but unsure how to attach it but should I share it here, does as it may contain personal/sensitive data, is there a more secure method of getting it to you?

In the newer android versions third party apps can only collect the logs from their own apps. If you are still concerned about the privacy, Kindly send the bug report to [email protected] along with the information about the issue.

MX Player Subtitle Shortcut Gone

As you can see in the title, the subtitle shortcut is gone in my mx player android app after I updated it. The show I am watching already have subtitles with it and only needs activation from the shortcut and don't need an online subtitles download. Please fix this mx player devs. Your app was literally better than other video players, that's why I'm using it.

We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused. Unfortunately, this is caused by an android platform bug on Android 5.x. Request you to update the app to 1.13.2, and it should fix the issues. If the update is not yet showing up for you, you can download the same from our website http://mx.j2inter.com/download and install manually.
Thank You!

[Feature Request] Repeat by default and play folder content (via intents)

I am trying to automate video playing and I have two things I would like to have in MX Player:
- Be able to specify folders via Android intents and play all contents (like VLC for Android supports)
- Repeat the content by default (introduce a setting to repeat by default perhaps)
Thank you kindly in advance.

I work with completely unattended and automated devices. The file names change periodically. They are downloaded via Google Drive. This is why I can not launch MX Player with a file name.
VLC allows me to target folders to launch with but currently does not remember the repeat option.
This is why I am hoping for MX Player to maybe implement "playing folders" and permanent repeat option (either via Android intent, or a permanent setting).

Thanks for the details.
Unfortunately, MX Player doesn't support playback of folders at the moment. However, we will share this with our development team for further review.

Could you also consider a permanent repeat option? That stays forever until the user decides to disable it again?

How can I save a rtsp url on MXPlayer as favourite?

Hi, I'm having a strange problem on MX player for Android TV, I typed an rtsp url (working) but I'm not able to save it (!), can't add to favourites, can't save it as m3u and open it opening the m3u file.
Nobody thought here to add a way to save an url? Shoudl I type it manually each time? urgh..
I hope someone may help me understand, thanks
anyone can help here? thanks
- any working playlist file format?
- any way to create an icon that may open MXplayer with url as parameter?
What happens when you try to open the url via browser?
Hi, I?m glad somebody answered me, I've tried to contact MX player's develpments in all ways possible.
SIncerely I don't understand the question, why this shoudl be useful? Browser is not supposed to open an rtsp:// url..
I'm looking for a way to add URL to MX Player favouires (to open it quickly) or open a playlist file containgin rtsp that MX can support.
Thans for answering me

I ask because if your browser is able to bind the MIME type/protocol to an application of your choosing — and assuming MX Player shows up as an available option to default to — then at the very least you could save it as a bookmark, with which you can then create a widget. This doesn't give in-app access, but it beats having to type in the address at least? You can also utilize some other application that gives an overlay button, or perhaps bind to a hardkey/hotkey/quick settings tile? Just some ideas off the top of my head. Good luck!
Hi, thanks for your kind help, I'm not sure I understood perfectly you message, are you suggesting the browser as the only way to open Mx player as embedded with the URL? ANd the second part of message is about create a shortcut/widget/overlay button on the home to start browser with that favourite/url to open enbedded MX Player?
Looks a bit complicated but maybe I can try.. which browser can do that?
PS: I still shocked MX Player doesn't give any support to playlist neither save favourites..
