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.

I'm using H/W+ decoder local/network. I don't have any problems with local storage files but when I try to play files from a local network (samba server) the player will crash on some movies. If I disable H/W+ decoding (network) and enable software audio decoding (network) the movie will start fine with H/W decoding but then I can select H/W+ decoding also. (during play) So, why is it crashing if I try to directly use H/W+ decoding?
H/W+ decoding (network) with S/W audio (network) also won't work, I'll always have to use this workaround with some movies. :-|
pS: I'm using this custom codec, mx player pro auto-updated via google play and a Galaxy S5 Plus.

The codec is same as MX Player's ffmpeg along with ac3/dts decoders.
So, The issue might be from Player itself.
Kindly collect the logs immediately after the crash & attach here.
Kindly read the following guide if you have any difficulties in bug reporting
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/guide-how-to-collect-logcat-report-bug-t2843144
Thank you for the quick response, I'm attaching a MXP log here and a MediaInfo extract of one of the media files that won't work. (I already explained in my first post)
One thing I might have gotten wrong is that, the app won't crash as in "the app has stopped working" (doesn't hang) , it tries to open the file and just closes without any error.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus
Android: KitKat 4.4.4
Rom: Stock
Great support. Nothing after this much time.

@UppGr4de Would you share a video file having this issue?
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.
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

I have an Amlogic S905X Android Box.
I'm wondering if there is anyway I can get HW decoding to work on it?
I use the app IPTV to watch stream links with MX player. However recently it has stopped working and the links won't play. I use the exact same app to watch the same streams on my android phone and they work fine.
I looked at the android phone settings and it uses HW decoder. But on the android box it tries to use SW decoder. I tried changing it over to HW decoder but it said "HW decoder not supported".
Does any one know what I can do to get it working properly on the android box?
Thanks.

It's depends on the device. HW decoder uses androids mediaplayer api to play the videos. In other words, it's just mx wrapper to the system decoders available in your device. If the device doesn't have the codecs for the specific format it can't be played in HW

This is the device I have ebay.com.au/itm/4K-Android-5-1-Quad-Core-Smart-TV-BOX-Media-Player-S905X-Fully-Loaded-KODI-XBMC-/262711771966?hash=item3d2ad7833e:g:rLQAAOSwXeJYDfOy#shpCntId
Hi.
Recently bought H96 Max TV-Box and installed MX Player Pro on it.
But player can't play HEVC H265 videos in HW mode.
When trying to switch to HW mode it says it is not supported.
HW+ option is greyed out(not available) at all.
Currently using SW method but video playback is very bad with this method and it is impossible to watch with this method.
TV-Box based on RK3399 processor that claims full H265 hardware decoding support and I know it does because built in players can handle this file without problem with smooth playback.
How can I get smooth hardware decoding in player at this device?
hi, I'm going to receive this TV Box as well,
have you solved this problem? I'm a bit afraid of that...

Kindly share the bug report collected from MX Player help menu.
until or unless you share the bug report collected from MX Player, it's very difficult to identify the actual issue.

Hi,
Actually, the issue is that system decoders in your device do not report that they can support HEVC 10bit profiles. So, MX Player does not try the hardware accelerated playbacks as several devices are known to crash when force decoding 10bit HEVC & H.264.
Based on some feedbacks from the users like you, we have decided to make this logic as optional. From 1.9.19, even if the device doesn't explicitly report it's capabilities, MX Player will list the HEVC 10bit & H264 10bit on HW+ Video Codecs list on Settings > Decoder. It can be enabled with a warning. Once you enable the HEVC 10bit or H.264 10bit, it will be tried in both HW & HW+.
We have already started rolling out the new version in stages. If you haven't received yet, you can manually grab the apk from our wesite & try yourself. Kindly leave a feedback after testing the same in your device.

Just tried 1.9.19 and it works Thanks for implementing this. Will wait it to appear in Google Play Store for Pro version that I have purchased.
