[Feature Request] Torrent streaming with save option - MX Player

Hi,
First I'd like to thank all who contributed to the amazing MX Player. I literally cannot replace it with any other player.
I would love to see a torrent streaming feature with save after finish option on MX Player. If the developer could make this happen I would appreciate it.

If anything, that isn't so much something for MX to implement, but more of for the Android torrent clients to implement. The torrent client would need to be able to sequential download then buffer the video to MX as a stream -- not really something that's to be done on MX's side.

Probably he is asking torrent downloading & streaming feature in MX itself.

Right, which really isn't something MX should be getting into, the torrent side. For example on PC, uTorrent would provide the video to an external player (ie MPC-HC) as a video stream. See this article for a brief explanation: http://www.guidingtech.com/6880/how-to-enable-video-streaming-in-utorrent-3-0/
Again, I wouldn't think that MX would be the one to handle the torrenting; it should be a torrent app that's made to pass a video stream to MX, so this isn't really an MX feature request per se in my opinion.

Yes, There are some apps like showbox which are designed to stream the contents to Video Players. Adding torrent protocol to a Video Player may not be a good idea.
Anyhow, ultimate decision is to be taken by bleu8888 who is the developer of the Player. But, I don't thing he will implement it in near future since he has lot of feature requests in que.

Getting into torrenting also opens up another can of worms in the form of DRM and copyright -- best not to get entangled in that. I'm sure that eventually in the future, there will be an Android torrent app that can pass video streams.

Not comparable.
On PC you have a large screen to juggle and drag between different programs.
On mobile, not so much.
I want to click a link and start watching.
Not click a link, get thrown into some other app with a bunch of tiny settings, then have click on something else inside that app to then open the player app and start watching.

@doingthelordswork MX Player is a playback app. Downloading is out of the question. Torrents are NOT steams, and therefore you simply cannot just click and watch. Download the file, then give the file to MX Player to play.

[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 .

You are almost certainly missing the correct CODEC for your pirated movies to play back right.
Try using Google.

Install K-Lite codec on your computer. Or use KMPlayer
For android, MxPlayer.
Hit thanks if I helped.
its defiantly not my codecs

If you are trying to say that even playing these movies locally on a PC gives you video and no sound then you've got two options;-
1) There is no sound in the video
2) You're missing the CODEC you need to hear the audio
When you run diagnostics from DivX (I assume that you are actually using a decent player and not just Windows Media Player) what CODEC does it say was used to create the audio stream?
And this really isn't the right place for this thread either. XDA is a MOBILE PHONE DEVELOPMENT SITE - that's the third time I've told someone that today. If you can't fix it then post in the Off-Topic forum where it should be, in the **Desktops and Laptops Thread**

It doesn't matter what player you use. If the CODECs aren't on your system then the apps can't decode the audio stream. Why is that so hard to understand?
Can you get any of those files to play properly on any other device?

VLC has all the possible codecs you could ever need to play .mkv files, in other words, it's not a codec issue. Why is that so hard to understand?
OP, does this problem apply to any and all mkv files? Have you checked all the sound related settings, drivers etc. on the pc? Is it definitely just mkv files that are the problem?

I don't make it a habit to state things as a fact if I'm not certain about them.
VLC does NOT come with all the CODECs as it is not allowed to install any proprietary (read copyrighted) CODECs. If you don't believe me then the OP at least might find this page on AfterDawn useful as it also contains links to some of the more common CODEC packs.
Important Note: While VLC will work for most MKV files you will find, the package does not include any proprietary codecs. RealVideo and ON2 VP6 are examples of codecs not packed with VLC for this reason. Therefore with VLC, if you get a Matroska file that contains RealVideo, you are pretty much in the dark and will have to look for another playback option.

This is the exact reason why I asked the OP to run diagnostics from his software and post what CODEC the software says was used to create the audio stream.
But, as usual on this forum at the moment, people don't read the rules, post in the wrong place, don't actually bother to do what the people who are trying to help them ask them to do etc etc etc

I never said VLC comes with all the codecs, but since it has open source alternative for just about any audio/video stream you can pack in an mkv and throw at it, VLC practically has "all the possible codecs you could ever need to play an mkv file", which on the other hand means OP most likely does not have a codec problem. I suggest you look into codecs more closely and hone that reading comprehension of yours.

There is zero ambiguity there - you are stating, explicitly, that any .mkv file will play on VLC because VLC has "all the possible codecs". That is simply not true.
Without the OP replying and telling us what CODEC the audio stream was encoded with it is impossible to state whether VLC should work with that stream - heck, the OP may even be using an old version of VLC with less CODECs than the current version.
And none of this matters one iota anyway - this thread shouldn't even be here, as I pointed out quite clearly yesterday.

You just so happened to leave out the rest of the sentence, the italicized part was the relevant bit. But in any case OP seems to have lost interest.

[Feature Request] RTMP support

Hello!
Actually there are no video players for Android, that would support Adobe's RTMP protocol, which is used to do almost every live stream playable with Flash Player (eg. YouTube, Justin.tv, Ustream, etc.). As MX Player's base, FFmpeg already supports librtmp, adding RTMP support is just a matter of one switch passed to configure script. Is it possible to see this feature in next MX Player version? :laugh:
I thought MX could already handle those formats? Unless their streaming protocols changed again without us noticing...

MX Player supports formats streamable by RTMP such as FLV container, H.264, Sorenson H.263 video codecs, AAC, Nellymoser audio codecs, etc. but doesn't support RTMP itself. Try to open any "rtmp://" URI with MX Player, you'll get an error message.
Ah, so that's what you mean. Well, wait and see what the developer replies.

Actually I do not have many words to say about networking issue. MX does not have its own network routine but just use ffmpegs. And it has so many limiations.
We are going to improve networking in the futuer.

Sharing from other apps to Mx player

Hi,
I would like to be able to Share a particular video I am watching (for instance, from YouTube or YT Mobile) to MX Player. There is only 1 media player that I know I can share to most anytime. It is called BS Player. But I would much prefer to share to MX Player. I don't believe there are any copyright concerns nor technical problems to prevent this.
Would you consider adding this feature, because MX Player is definitely the way to go!

It's because BS has implemented to YouTube API to particularly play youtube videos.
The MX Player had a intention to app youtube support. But, it was on alow priority since there are some other features he is currently working on. Anyway I will ask the developer again in this regards & reply back to you.

MX Player not all dialogue is Displayed

Just started using MX Player and like it very much.
I have movies recorded from TV and they have subtitles included in the file.
For most movies MX Player displays all the dialogue as subtitles very well.
I have some that when played with MX PLayer not all the lines of dialogue get displayed on screen.
I had this same problem with these movies when I first started using Potplayer on my windows PC.
Potplayer was able to fix this problem in one day and now all these movies display the subtitles perfectly using Potplayer.
I want to use MX Player on my android devices so would love to have the technical people try to modify the software to fix this problem.
I can supply a dropbox link to a very small portion of one of these movies where the problem occurs .
But not sure if that is OK to place here ?
If it is OK please let me know and I will include the link.
Please help.
