Hello I've been having one really annoying issue with my beloved MX player which I love which is that the HW+ decoder either tells me it won't play videos I have through Plex app I have stored on computer or that it switches from HW+ to SW and SW doesn't play the videos properly they lag or play out of sync or the app crashes.
Now I know these videos where HW+ fails to work actually has played in the past though I would say that I recently flashed stock sony rom then using CWM flashed a custom rom but I did all this to try get HW+ to play my plex videos where it wouldn't either switch to SW or not play at all when the videos have played fine in the past.
I use MX player 1.7.40 (ARMv7 Neon)
Custom Codec 1.7.32 for AC3 Audio support
Phoenix Final Custom Rom for Xperia P using Nemeis Kernal 6.3
I understand that you guys need the logcat information and I read the thread about how do do that but I ran into a problem that when I downloaded the logcat app for mx player it returns an error "Cannot access the system log"

If you are using custom rom, they might have modified the Android Media Framework. It will break the MX Player's HW+. If it's not working Just turn it off & use HW instead.
MX Player 1.8 final is expected to get alternative HW+ engine that may work in most of the devices. Kindly be patient till that

https://github.com/USBhost/MX_FFmpeg is my modified source where i'm building from
You can download recent codecs here ( GitHub releases ) and 1.35.0-1.8.6 here ( Google Drive ).
Also the XDA download tab is no longer updated as for some reason I cant remove them.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check which version you need by going to Local Player Settings/Decoder/General
in the Custom Codec tab it will tell you which one is needed (x86,x86_64,neon,neon64/ARMv8).
Note: skip step 1 if your using aio (all in one) version
2. Download the one you need (No need to unzip it)
3. Go back to Local Player Settings/Decoder/General
and tap the Custom Codec tab then select the version you downloaded. DONE!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
What's the difference between MX Player Codec Packs on Google Play and Custom Codec?
MX Player Codec Pack not only contains ffmpeg library, It contains many other libraries required to work properly. If you download MX Player from Google Play mostly it will contain the required libraries according to your device architecture. You have to install codec packs from Google Play only if MX Player asks to install. Custom codec is just a modified version of the ffmpeg library used in MX Player. It's modified to include support DTS/Dolby(ac3) audio tracks. So, Codec Pack is mandatory if MX Player asks to install it. Custom Codec is optional and It's required only if you want to play the videos with DTS & Dolby (AC3) audio tacks
Why Custom Codec is not updated even though MX Player is updated?
In Many occasions MX Player may updated without any changes to ffmpeg library. So, Custom Codec will also remain same. The custom codec version required will be directly forced by the player itself. So no need to worry about it. If it's not compatible MX Player will not load at all.
How do I know that my Custom Codec is outdated & needs an update?
Whenever MX Player is updated, It will check the custom codec version loaded. If it's outdated it will show a error message that shows "Custom Codec is out of date. Replace it with the new version". Otherwise there is no need to check this thread for the new Custom Codecs.

What do you meant?
Can you explain the problem you are facing....
Does not play dts audio or any video?
Have you changed the rendering to HW+ or SW not HW...?
In the latest build of MX Player there is no option in preference to enable SW audio with hw playback.
You have to enable SW audio via audio track button if you are using HW rendering instead of HW+ or SW.
I have personally tested neon build and it is working perfectly.
Even my old build also working with the current version.

When I go to the Decoder section, click on the directory with the files, then MX Player restarts... I'm getting a popup. This is with MX Player 1.7.12 on a Nexus 4 (4.2.2 stock rooted):
Popup says...
MX Player:
Unsupported device or component file corrupted. Please uninstall the application completely then reinstall it if the problem persists.
OK
When I hit the OK button, MX Player closes and when I reopen MX Player, the codec files aren't selected anymore in the Decoder section. I've uninstalled and reinstalled MX Player a few times, also tried just Force Stop ing it, and clearing its cache, but the same thing happens. This was all working perfectly on 1.7.11, so I suspect it's something with the new version of MX Player, but I don't know how to tell what it is.

Same problem
Having the same issue as funtek on my Neuxs 10 with version 1.7.12 of Mxplayer with this codec, both neon and not, tried them both. Same error message.
Your new link that you have posted when you recompiled the codec must have done it. That download is working for me on mxplayer 1.7.12 with no error message or corrupt codec message on the nexus 10. Weird... but very happy, many thanks brother! Must have just been corrupt.

The exact same message as in funtek's post.
I've noticed that the files in the alternative zip are only half the size as the files in op, perhaps the zip was messed up?

Hi, Neon Codec on Galaxy Nexus: MX Player Pro crash after set the custom codec and restart application. Next time launched MX Player, the default codec is used.
Also tested tegra2 codec on Galaxy Tab 10.1 - this one is working fine.
Hi
After upgrading htx m8 to 4.4.4 custom rom, when i tried to watch a movie , after a few seconds mx player juat closes.
it happens with all decodersand with streaming and local media.
Hope this helps make mx player even better
Shai
Before the developer here looks, did you also ask over at your custom rom's support? It's possible that they broke something as well.
Also, what rom is this?
Hi
Its maximushd 8.1.0
Didnt check in the roms forum, will do.

It looks like you have played in H/W+ decoder.
Improper codec configuration may lead to crash.
Can you try the video in H/W or S/W mode?
If it crashes in all decoders, first install mx log collector. Now run the mx player & let it crash. Open the log collector immediately after crash.
Your current log doesn't contain any errors except audio decoding failed in H/W+ mode.
Hello,
Since I have upgraded to Cyanogen OS 12S - or CM12S, as you prefer - MX Player is not able to play movies with H/W+ decoding.
I also noticed a bigger drain in battery over time with this combination (only H/W and CM12S).
Does anyone knows why is this happening?
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I also noticed that, with this update, playback of H.265 is much smoother now.
Thank you in advance.
I have the same issue
Does anyone have an answer for this? It use to work fine in CM11S
Same issue, but worse.
Got the same issue. But now HW stopped working as well. (Including recorded video playback from gallery). Only MX player SW works.
Don't know if it's related to xposed. Planning to do a system upgrade again and check.

I updated and checked, it still didn't work. But HW worked after I disabled developer tools and enabled it back. However, HW+ is still not working.
I could only get S/W working in CM12S.
I'm running CM12.1 nightly now and H/W works, but still no H/W+
I have same problem mx player will not play many vids it used to play easily online especially 3gp and i have the backup players for mx player also they dont help just does loading and wont play all decoders dont work. would somebody please tell me what to do or mx player please fix the decoder issues
From what I read, the problem is not with MX Player, but with Android Media Library in COS12 - some changes that are incompatible with MX so we have to wait if it's fixed in COS12.1.
Since the last update MX player is no longer working properly on my Nexus 9 tablet.
Strangely enough the option of using HW+ decoding has completely disappeared from the settings/decoder menu.
I use MX player mainly to play HD streams from my satellite receivers via DVBLink TV server.
SD channels still play with SW decoding.
HD/FHD channels so far have always played with HW+ decoding but that option has now disappeared, and these channels will not play properly with SW or HW decoding.
I'm using licenced MX player PRO.
Is it possible to go back to the previous version of MX player?
Is there a versions history somewhere that lets you download?
Would you check if HW+ is sitll not working on 1.8.6?

Sure.
Just updated to 1.8.6 and HW+ is now present again on Nexus 9. :good:
Playback with HW+ seems to work fine too.
hello,
I might buy the Galaxy S8 Plus ( Snapdragon Model ) soon but need to make sure it can play an h.264 10-bit video using hardware decoding.
name of the video: [1080p][16_REF_L5.1][FLAC_5.1]Suzumiya Haruhi no Shou****su BD OP.mkv
this is a link for the sample video:
https://www.koi-sama.net/files/hi10/
I really appreciate the help, thank you.
I tried them on my Verizon 8+ and get "unsupported video codec" using the default video player.
I have not tried d/l VLC or an alternative to see if that works, it may.
could you please check using mx player h/w+ or h/w
MX Player hw+ doesn't seem to have a problem with any of the sample video decoding, got a complaint about unsupported audio (AC3) on one of the files though.
thank you for your help, I just purchased the phone ( G955U ) and it isn't working on hw+, is there a Rom or kernel you are using?
I'm using bone-stock as provided by Verizon, with all current system updates.
Videos d/l to local SD card and played off that from within MX Player. I noticed some traffic where spawning video playback via file explorer may not work in some cases so I opened the file directly in MX.
The MX Player I used was the free edition, freshly installed.
I have since bought MX Player Pro, and of course it works on my device.
System performance settings are at the default, no tweaking so far (phone is 4 days old).
Good luck, sorry I don't have more help to offer, still new with the device.
thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.
If you haven't installed their codec pack, get it. I think it will fix your problems: MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON)
hello, tried it and didnt work, it does run 4k hevc 10-bit using hw but cant run h.264 10-bit unless I use sw (works well but fast battery drain).
thank you
Runs smooth and without problems or lags with the mx Player pro with the sw decoder. The hw decoder doesn't Work.
i use hw+
along with a custom codec for ac3
Yep custom MX codec canm be found here on XDA forum - use search.
It's up to 1.9.0... Anything older will get an "update codec" message....
I tried but no luck, it works on sw only, what is your phone's model?
mine is G955U Sprint Unlocked. all other codecs work ( even hevc 10-bit 4k ) but h.264 10-bit is only working on sw.
How do you setup the custom codec for AC3 (I recognize I'm being lazy by just asking...but I have a headache...)?
For C0derbear
Put on root directory of phoner or sd card and start MX player. Go to settings, and select "custom codec at bottom of list in decoder settings. Select codec with browser it opens.
That's if it doesn't detect the custom codec and ask to use it.
It will restart to apply codec...
