Is it possible to create a wider codecs combinations for decoding posibilitie of MX?
For example: HW video with HW+ audio
Or create separate codecs settings.
On my Amlogic S812 there is problem with decoding MKV video file with HW+ decoder, video is twitching (or somewhat, I can't more correctly describe this effect) with 3 to 5 secs. Interval. With HW it's OK , but no sound.
Thank you for your help.

Just enable SW audio from audio track selection. You will get HW video & SW audio.

I allready tried it. But sometimes I got double sounding on AAC codecs while SW audio was set permanently.
Sets SW audio separetly for each MKV is not so comfortable for my opinion.
Is there some way exists to use only SW audio for all files, I think MX does not block HW audio if track was supported by HW in this mode, or it's a bug?

I can't reproduce the double audio issue.
Can you collect the logs immediately after playing the file which leads to the double audio issue?
If it's possible kindly share a sample video.

Is there a way to do the opposite of that? I need SW video & HW audio.
When I play test files directly from the device, I can use HW decoder and they play flawlessly. But when I play files from my NAS with the HW decoder, MX Player buffers. If I use the SW decoder playback is smooth, but the audio is always downmixed to stereo. I have tried both the default and custom software codecs with the same results.
Also MX Player informs me that HW+ is not available on my device, if that make a difference in the decoder options I have selected? I have tried "HW+ audio on SW video" with "SW decoder (network)" but MX Player still shows playback to be HW with the results mentioned above.
I have a number of videos with the following properties. Their video frame rate is 30 at 720p with codec of H.264 part 10, using Lavf57.27.100 to encode. The audio is AAC at 48kHz..
I played these videos on different number of android devices using MX Player with HW decoding. The video is delayed by a second or two. But with HW+. things seem ok.
I played these same videos on the same android devices using BS Player. The video and the audio are perfectly in sync.
How come? Please help.
BS uses a implementation similar to HW+ as default. So, you will get the result like HW+.
In HW decoder, MX Player uses the mediaplayer implementation from android itself. MX Player's control on it is very limited.
If HW+ works fine, you may just use it. From 1.9.0 HW+ will be enabled by default for all users with android 5.0+. But, HW will be the default one as usual.
I test HW can Passthrough sound , but HW+ can't Passthrough sound...

which codec?
If you have a custom codec which supports the codec, it won't be passed through.
can you collect a bug report immediately after playing the video that has issues?
Anyhow, in the next version, we will add an option to prefer audio passthrough over internal decoders.
viedo code is x265
play video use HW no video, audio ok
HW+ video OK, audio not work!
I have the same question (problem). I'm using MX player PRO on my TV POS 9002.
When I use HW Decoder there is DD and DTS audio but 4k HEVC 10 bit HDR 23.976 DTS and DD files are stuttering.
When I use HW + Decoder 4k HEVC 10 bit 23.976 DTS and DD files are smooth but there is no 5.1 audio in my Amplituner (it doesn't see DD and DTS - only Stereo).
MX Player team... Please do something with this. No other program (KODI, SPMC, VLC, ARCHOS) can play this files smoothly. Only MX Player but only in HW + without 5.1 sound
Best regards
Today was a new MX Player update with passthrough option.
I was very happy at the beginning becouse DD started to work but... sound and video stutters every couple of seconds in almost every movie I have (but not in everyone. Some plays good I have passthrough option checked.
There is no DTS passthrough in HW+. Only in HW.
It was so close...
When I uncheck passthrough there is no 5.1 DD sound from Ampli I don't know what to do
Thank You for this but I think it needs a little more testing.
Best regards for all The Team
update MXPLAYER ，The problem is the same
play video use HW no video, audio ok
HW+ video OK, audio not work!

MX Player checks the capability of HDMI receiver. When you select this option, If the receiver reports that they support DTS or DD, it will automatically use pass-through mode even if there is internal decoder. maybe your amplifier doesn't report the capability of the DTS decoding.
In HW decoder, there is no control on our side. It will automatically pass the audio to HDMI if it's unsupported.

Hi
Thx for answer
When I play some DD movies sometimes there is audio passthrought...sometimes there isn't. I must try couple Times.
When I play in passthrough there is 80% chances that sound and video will be stuttering but...
I have a solution...I play in passthrough mode and when video and audio stutters i change sound to SW mode and for some time I uncheck SW mode. When this doesn't help I try to rewind movie to the beginning couple of Times. It usually starts to workafter couple of times.
This is my way to Play 4K HEVC 10 BIT HDR movies in DD 5.1 on my Philips POS 9002 and Pioneer VSX - 422 Amplituner.
DTS doesn't work in passthrough mode at all
It works in HW mode but video is stuttering. Video is stuttering in every Android TV player: VLC, ARCHOS, KODI, SPMC and integrated Video Player.
Thank You MX Player Devs for a great program thanks to which i can watch movies on my TV.
Best regards
wrong
Any chance getting HW+ to support passthrough audio?
Bump, so many years later and this highly popular video player stays so severely flawed to the bones for people with a proper surround sound system with DTS/Dolby support... Kodi has no issues with it all but somehow MX Player can't seem to solve their issues
2021 update
still no 5.1 sound in mx player in passthrough mode
all the options, codecs and upadates are set, but still "stereo" on reciver display
no DD, no DTS, no 5.1 and no DD Plus either

Yep and I just posted this issue not realizing that this was posted. HW+ is broken with Passthrough and they don’t even mention that it is an issue that they are working on. What a joke.

got the mx support answer:
"We regret to inform you that MX Player currently doesn't support audio-passthrough over SPDIF. However, you will be pleased to know that it's a part of our roadmap and will be supported in the future if found viable. Meanwhile, your patience is appreciated"
Dear MX Player community,
This video has track #2 in AC3 format (44.1kHz, mono). When I switch to this audio track it starts lagging (voice trebles, some sounds are dropped). I have tried enabling/disabling S/W decoder (Menu→Audio→Audio track→Use SW audio decoder), but it does not help. Perhaps it is related to the fact that both audio tracks are muxed with 1/2 stretch ratio into MKV container. Nevertheless AAC track #1 is played correctly. Both tracks are known to play correctly on Media Player Classic v1.7.13.112 (LAV Splitter v0.70.2.80) on Windows 7.
Is given AC3 track playing smoothly for anybody?
I use MX Player Pro v1.9.16 with ARMv7 NEON custom codec on Samsung Galaxy S5.
The issue might be related to this thread, but I am not sure.
Hi to all,
mxplayer has the best picture quality and smoothly playback experience that I've ever seen.
For that i bought it from google playstore.
I'm owner of nvidia shield tv, but totality of my hdr movies, played with mx player suffering of audio and video stuttering.
I'm using HW decoder (by default) only one that permits me audio passthrough to my receiver. Why passthrough does'nt function with HW+ decoder?
I would be really grateful if you could recommend a solution to this problem (if there is one of it)
Ps I could very well go back to kodi, but the video quality offered by mxplayer surprised me for clarity and precision
