I am looking for a way (button/gesture) to jump forward/back in time to the next/previous position where a subtitle text was displayed.
This is intended to be used when subtitles are displayed in a language one is not all that familiar with (studying). When you need to re-read a text it is difficult to move the correct number of seconds, so a jump-to-subtitle button would be useful.
That already exists; you can swipe forwards/backwards on teh subs itself, and it should seek by subtitle.

[Feature Request] Add a field "last playback position" to media list options
"Resume/last played point" in the sense of the HH:MM:SS where you left watching the video (I prefer the term "resume/last played time", but, well, you already name "played time" to a different thing...). You have this info, obviously, because you resume the videos from that point, so it is strange that you don't show it (and should, therefore, be trivial to implement ).
The best way to show this info should be the standard: "resume/last played point"/total length (you already show the total length over the thumbnail. If there is not enough space besides it, I think that a suitable place would be to move all that info to below the video name).
As a bonus point, you could update the thumbnail to reflect the "resume/last played point". Other players (MoliPlayer for IOS) do it and it is very cool.
Right now, if you long press on a video and view the properties, it will show last playback position.
To simplify your feature request, what you are really asking is "on the media list, add a field called "last playback position" to the view menu options".
The second thing you requested is "update the thumbnail to reflect last playback position".
Hello!
I'm developing an App and i have to open MX Player with a video and a subtitle file.
I use this code:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Parcelable[] parcels = {Uri.parse(fullFileName)};
Parcelable[] parcelsSub = {Uri.parse(fullFileName)};
String[] names = {"Sottotitoli"};
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(fileVideoPath), "video/mp4");
intent.setPackage("com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad");
intent.setClassName("com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad", "com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad.ActivityScreen");
intent.putExtra("subs", parcels);
intent.putExtra("subs.enable", parcelsSub);
intent.putExtra("subs.name", names);
startActivity(intent);
The subtitiles are shown in Subtitles > Panels, but i have to check if i want to show them. I want that this subtitles are automatically shown when i start mxplayer.
Would you check if subtitle has correct scheme?
If URI is pointing a file, URI should have 'file' scheme, such as file:///sdcard/sub.srt
Yes, it works! There wasn't "file://". I didn't find anywhere this so thank you!
Can mxplayer skip from sub to sub? example: i have two subtitles, one starts at 10 second and the other at 30 seconds. Can i skip from 10 seconds to 30 seconds?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just tap on subtitle text & swipe.
It will ff or rw to the next/previous subtitle position.
Kindly keep in mind that if you enabled fast seeking, then it will move to nearast key frame from the next subtitle position instead of exact subtitle position.
Thanks a lot! it works. But there is another problem . Our app can be runned also in a vuzix m100, that is a smart glasses and it has only 3 buttons as input. So we can't skip subtitles in there. I would know if in the future you will add a feature that you can choose the buttons behaviour...
I don't know if I have used the correct terms here -- please forgive the ignorance.
While playing each video with MX Player on my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, is it possible to display the FILE NAME--maybe at the bottom of the screen--either "briefly" (maybe for a few seconds, then fade-out) or even "permanently" (always visible while watching the entire video)?
I am asking, because I use VCL media player on my desktop PC--and that ap does 'briefly' show the file name at the bottom as a subtitle-sort-of-thing, each time a new track starts -- then it fades away.
What are the options for MX Player?
Thanks for anybody's help!
I'm hoping for the same thing. Maybe an option to not show/show at beginning of playback/show all the time. Currently to view the file name, I need to click/touch the screen, which also brings up all the controls, menu bar, taskbar. If it was tied in with the battery/clock.playback time settings, it would help a lot.
ok, this is my idea to sync subtitles - based on solution in AllPlayer:
I pause movie in position when should be text, open window with all subtitles, chose one and press button "This Text in This Position" - this solution is from AllPlayer.
Second, optional part if subtitles have diffrent framerate:
Go to some part at end of movie, pause, and set second text for this moment like above. MX Palyer based on this two point calculate new positions for every text
To navigate to next/previous subtitles I need to swipe right/left, then subtitles are animated to next/previous subtitles.
This swiping and animation of subtitles takes time (around 1~2 seconds) for each navigation we need to make.
How about a new suggested gesture to be just a single tap on the left/right side of the subtitles, and then instantaneously (without any delay for performing animations) the next/previous subtitles are switched to. This will provide much much more faster subtitles navigation.
It will be helpful to make a new option available for the user to choose whether enable/disable the new suggested subtitles navigation gesture/scenario.
