[Q] No longer play video from browser - MX Player

Its been quite a while actually, MX player just wont play any video from chrome now.
It used to prompt me and ask which player do i want to use back in the days, i always set MX player as default, now it just play within the browser which has tiny controls, very annoying to use.
How do i make MX player capture browser videos again? Or is chrome blocking it?

It's not MX Player's fault. most of the browsers now use mediaplayer api to play the video's in browser itself.

[Q] Does the default video player support subtitles?

Hi.
I still haven't decided to buy this tablet yet. So I was wondering if the built in player displays subtitles embedded in mkvs, ass or similar files? I normally use moboplayer in order to play my soft-subbed videos on my cellphone since only a few players support this feature.
If this is not supported, is there another video player that supports this but also allows it be floating like the video player?
Thanks!

I believe that the default video player only accepts SRT subtitle file. MKV playback starts off a little bit slow but picks right up at normal speed after a few seconds.
In most of cases, it support srt. I had no problem on most movies, included mkv.
Try a app call BS player,its in the play store, I love it and it will search for the subtitles any movies you are watching..for you.

Use DICE player . It supports all subtitles and floating screen , and if subtitles are not synced properly but you don't have choice , this player can slow down subtitles or accelerate them during play .

need help with xbmc youtube mx player error.

Hopefully someone can help me with this error I can't find a solution anywhere. I'm using xbmc on my transformer and it's set to use MX player to play most of the video on it. My only issue is that for all youtube videos mx Player keeps giving me "can't play this video" all other types of videos work fine. Is there a fix that I can apply that will allow mx player to play youtube streams? If not, is there a way I can set in the playercorefactory.xml to use the internal DVDplayer for only youtube streams and mx player for everything else? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with MX player and youtube streams? Any help would be appreciated

I couldn't view any You Tube videos, so I sideloaded flash onto my transformer. This wasn't too successful, so then I downloaded the new YouTube app which is working fine.
As for your xbmc problem - I don't have the app, just know it is a multi media center/player.

Sorry, no. I was able to see video in the YouTube app whereas before I couldn't get any video to play in any browser. I know I had to sideload flash onto my TF101 - so whether it helped may also be a factor.
alright, so i find myself in same boat. Only thing is, I cant play Dailymotion videos which gives me same error using xbmc+mx player combo. have you found any solution?, I tried BS Player, Dice Player and making sure they were the external players by changing playercorefactory.xml file. but still no luck. I also tried switching decoder under mxplayer and all other players to only use hw decoder or sw decoder, but no luck.

[Q] Using MX player or another player in Chrome

So I like to use MXplayer or Diceplayer as a default video player.
I notice that if I use the build in browser and play an embedded video on the internet it would ask me to use a video player which is great.
But Chrome does not give me the option, but rather just use the default built in video player which is horrible.
Is there a way to make another video player as default for Chrome?
No responses....
I want to know Answer to this also
If a video is playing in chrome. .. right click and save video. .. it will create a play list in mx player..
You then open from mx player and it will be playing from there. ..
Works on a stream

Support vlc://http://video streaming ?

I have a question you can add to the MX PLAYER startup options via video link:
If I have become fixed on the HTML page .... It is caused by the feature of → vlc: //
LINK:
vlc://http://something.com/something.mkw
Call up all the android player with support for VLC. Interesting that just running to play may KM PLAYER.
So I ask if he would go add support also MX PLAYER. And to make video play that way. Thanks

This method is used long ago. Eventhough It's supported by some third party browsers, Google no longer supports the custom schemes to call the app. It won't work on chrome as well from version 25.
Instead you can launch any app by using appropriate intents. MX Player supports various intenet parameters. You can call MX Player directly and pass more details like subtitles, titles, etc.
You can refer MX Player API page on official site for more information.

Play youtube videos?

Is it possible to play youtube videos by streaming using mx player?
Using kodi with the youtube plugin and configuring MX as an external player, the youtube videos cn be launched directly in MX. But I´d like to do this with only the MX app, without needing kodi
Can this be done???
Thanks
Yes. I'd also like to play YT videos in mxplayer. Are you going to add this feature?

Unfortunately, MX Player doesn't playback of the webpages with embedded videos. However, we will explore the possibilities and make it possible in future if found viable. Meanwhile, stay with us and show your continued support to MX.
