Bug: subtitles disappears - MX Player

Steps to reproduce:
* Pause MX Player while it is displaying a subtitle text
* Switch to another app (e.g. in order to type the subtitle text into google translate)
* Switch back to MX player
==> The video is still stopped where it should be, but the subtitle text is missing
(Found on LG G3/Android 5)

BTW, from where you are opening the video..?
Can you collect the logs & upload here immediately after reproducing the issue?

The video is an .mkv-file opened from an "external SD card".
Testing some more, I notice that the video is not always back to the exact moment where I paused it, when returning to MX Player from another app, there may be ~2 seconds difference.
But even in those cases when video is back to what looks like the exact frame where it was paused, the subtitle text is gone.
Log attached.

This is generally a function of the old subtitle rendering mechanism. To be certain, it's only the current sub line that's gone right? Ie, when you play the video, the next subs still appear?
If you try the beta version, which has a new SW subtitle rendering engine, this should be improved.

Tried the latest 1.8.4 nightly, and now the subtitles seems to be displayed correctly when resuming (but it hardly ever resumes where it was stopped, but about 1 second earlier).

Go to Setting- Player and disable fast seeking. Then the player will find the exact frame.

[Q] Video player which could resume it's position and playlist after reboot?

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.

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 .

[Feature Request] Scroll to recently completed folder after folder complete

I think it's a little bug, but very annoying.
I offten use MX Player for watching music video clips on android car media system. I have a lot of folders with lots of videos.
After turning on media system and starting MX Player I usually pick the button (in menu) that continues playing a last video.
All is ok, video plays - no problem, after that starts next video in this folder - no problem too.
But the problem is - after playing the LAST video in this folder MX Player stops and displays list of folders! Not list of files in folder started in, but list of folders! I think it's very annoying to seek the folder in list every time.

Would you check Settings > Player > Back to list ?
If this option is checked on, MX Player will return to video list instead of playing next video.

Oh, no! In that case MX Player will stop after each video!
I think what Albert is saying is that right now, when all the videos in a folder is completed, MX returns to the root folder list. What I read as Albert's request is that when a folder is finished, return to that folder's view instead of the root folder list.

Ok I misunderstood AlbertAS's request. @AlbertAS Please try latest test build. In this build, folder list will auto-scroll to the position of last folder.
Therefore you will no longer need to scroll down to find next folder. https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build

[Q] Problem with 1.7.40 freezing under specific circumstances.

My device = Kindle fire HD (1st generation), 7", 16 GB
My OS = Amazon's version of android 4.0.3
Mx player = 1.7.40
I downloaded & installed Mx player (non-neon/froyo version) & the codec that it won't even START without, from the below link
h ttps://sites.go ogle.com/site/mxvpen/download
(The site considers me too "untrustworthy" to post the link, but you can figure out where I downloaded it from anyway.)
I had it's settings set to use HW+ decoding & to use HW decoding if HW+ failed. I used it to play a .mp4 video (480x360, 30fps, approximately 90 minutes long) that I had downloaded from youtube using tubemate. I stopped playing the video after the first 5 minutes to check on something online. After that, I started Mx player again & chose the same video again. Mx player asked if I wanted to start over or to resume. However, I couldn't do ANYTHING! Clicking on either choice didn't work. NOTHING worked at all. I couldn't even get to the kf-hd's list of running apps so that I could close Mx player from there. Even pressing the kf-hd's power button didn't show the kf-hd's "shutdown" option. Luckily, holding it for 10 seconds turned the kf-hd off anyway. After that, I tried several attempts to get Mx player to play that video again. My last attempt went as follows.
1) I turned the kf-hd on.
2) I started Mx player, but I did NOT choose any videos.
3) Instead, I went to the kf-hd's list of running apps & closed Mx player from there.
4) I turned the kf-hd off & then turned it back on again.
5) I started Mx player again, chose the video that I hadn't finished watching, & tried to watch it again, with the EXACT same results as before.
(After that, I uninstalled Mx player, installed Km player, & have since watched the same video without the above problem.)
Anyway, in future versions, to (hopefully) avoid this happening again, I recommend that you should include the option to NOT keep track of whether a video is "unfinished" or not, & to have the decision to "start over" or to "resume" be set by an option in the settings instead. That will (hopefully) avoid the message from having to pop up at all for "unfinished" videos. Also, put in the option somewhere to FORCE Mx player to FORGET if any video is "unfinished" or not, because that's really what causes that message to begin with, & besides, that "feature" is less a convenience than it is a trouble-making annoyance (at best), & it's really none of Mx player's business whether I have "finished" watching a video or not.
Collecting error logs would help, each time you get app freezing.

[Bug] Offline Subtitle error

Hello,
There’s a subtitle error that happens every time I swap from the mx player app to another app while a video is opened, or when I close the phone screen,
When I return back to the said opened video (on device offline video), and try to fast backward in the video, the subtitle (which is also offline) doesn’t show up on the entire section before the resumed part,
And even when I try to swipe on the subtitle itself backward, it acts like the resumed part is where the subtitle actually begins,
I’m currently using the last version of mx player free (1.22.8)
And I’m using redmi note 8 phone.
Thanks for any suggestions or help !
