Is there a way to track by video
- number of times a specific video was played
- Average duration
I was looking at the mx_layer_x.x.x.cml files it just lists the last watch time of a particular video?
We want to tract metrics around the video.
mx player video activity logs
I am also looking for same, please share if you know the solution

Hi,
I absolutely love this player, I find when I'm streaming 720/1080p video over WIFI, that it'll play great for a bit and then get all jittery/sluggish. I determined this is related to the buffering because if I then hit pause, wait for 10-15 seconds and play again, it'll be perfect again until it catches up with the buffer again. Is there anyway to increase or double whatever it is buffering to makes these hiccups less? Even if I had to behind the scenes and modify a config/text file somewhere, I'd be glad to do it if told how. I'd be just fine pausing a movie and waiting for it to get enough ahead of itself but MX Player only seems to buffer a limited amount and stop? Any feedback to improve this would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Network playback buffering is a known issue, and has been for a while now. It's something that the developer is working on.
In fact, it's the first item on the Feature Requests and Bugs list: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297

It's been a known issue for over four years now - will there be an update? Or does anyone know of a player that can buffer network streams?

Networking playback performance will be improved in the major update v1.8
Can you provide a feedback on the 1.8 release date?
I really need this... I can't play any videos because my internet sucks and the player only buffers a maximum of ~30 seconds of video. Even if i pause the video and try to watch it 3 hours latter it wont work...
Thanks

Yes, this is the most anoying issue for me. When watching some youtube videos the app doesnt save the videos in cache.
So MX player is great and all, and I download videos from youtube. Recently I downloaded one that MX player cannot really play using HW or HW+ and I'd like to find out why. Interestingly, the program I use to download videos from youtube (on PC) lists all the formats the video exists in, and there are two "1080p60" versions of different sizes. After opening them up with a program called MediaInfo, they seem to use different codecs/formats. One is AVC, the other is VP9.
When I said "MX player cannot really play" I mean "one video will show the first frame, audio will play normally, frames do not advance" (the AVC one). The VP9 one plays like a slide show with a frame updating every couple seconds, occasionally playing 2-3 frames at a time.
So yeah if anyone with more know-how could take a look at the video files in question, that'd be great. Here's the youtube video in question if you have your own way to download videos: SfjYhQ0dfCk
I WAS going to post dropbox links to 1) the two versions of the same video and 2) HTML files of the MediaInfo output and 3) The URL of the youtube video, but the forum is touchy about that apparently. Thank christ it doesn't complain about youtube video IDs.
H/W & H/W+ decoder uses android's internal decoder.
Looks like you device doesn't natively support playback @60fps.
S/W may play. But, it may be laggy if the processor is not powerful enough.
Ah okay. I thought it would at least play it very choppily but the video does not play at all. If I seek a few frames will play but then it will freeze again.
I'm also an idiot and forgot to mention that this is on a Galaxy S4. quad-core 1.8.

Would you share download link of both videos? Your link 'SfjYhQ0dfCk' is actually not a link.
There are many reasons why video not playing properly or not supporting HW acceleration.
Sometimes bug or limitation of device's media framework, sometimes bug of MX Player, sometimes corruption of video file, and so forth.
I love my MX Player Pro and also use it for my 3 year old son so he can watch movies and tv shows. The only thing I would like to change is the ability to change how the thumbnail for the video is created. Right now it seems that it is a screenshot at a certain time interval.
The problem is that TV series from one show will all have the same thumbnail which is somewhere from the intro. That way my son can't distinguish between the different episodes.
Is it possible to change the way MX Player creates the thumbnails see for instance take a screen halfway through the video?

+1 for this request. Almost all of my kid's thumbnails are of the Disney castle intro
I've switched from MX player pro to VLC beta for the time being. The thumbnails there seem to be generated further into the video.
MX Player custom thumbnails resolution and type
Hi,
I tried some formats for thumbnails (principally for fastest thumbnail generation when MX loading thumbnails preview) - PNG and JPG files, all was ok, but some thumbnails was not accepted by MX Player or thumbnails was generated slowly, then I have simple question - what is recomended resolution and file type for thumbnail? I tested FILE.jpg/png (for video FILE.mkv etc.) with custom resolution (1280x720, 960x540, 640x360), but I dont know what resolution for custom thumbnails is recomended.
Thank you so much for answer, target device has display with resolution 1920x1080p.

Hi,
MX Player automatically generates the thumbnails based on the display resolution. If you are facing any issues with the thumbnail generation or loading, please provide us with more information so that we can assist you further.
MX Player custom thumbnails resolution and type
Thank you, can I generate my own thumbnails, respectively for target device which is TV (landscape 1920x1080p) is recomended what resolution for thumbnails and format (jpg or png or bmp etc.? - what is more recomended)? Thanks, I bought MX PRO and using in TV free version (because TV system have some restrictions).
I prefering own thumbnails, because generating by MX is slow one by one, I dont know, why MX does not using multicore thumbnails creating, but for me is this system slow and unsatisfactory, even if device have more cores - ignored by MX for thumbnails as I wrote. Thanks for help.
Hi all,
I have noticed since I got this tablet that when watching videos of all kinds maybe every 30 seconds or so part of the screen will go "blocky" until the picture in the video changes and it clears.
This happens on music videos downloaded from Xtendamix and also files decoded with Handbrake.
Is it an issue with MX player or the tablet itself?
Same files play perfectly on my laptop and my Huawei P30 Pro.
Thanks

We regret the inconveniences caused by the delay in our response.
Request you to collect a bug report from the app quickly after noticing the problem and contact*us at [email protected] with detailed information such as sample link, steps to reproduce the issues, screen records, etc. Once we receive your bug report, we will investigate further and provide you with better resolution for your problem.
This is regarding some playback features that are unavailable, but partially visible through information menu.
On one hand, selecting information menu, all Video streams (or tracks), including Audio can be seen for an mkv container. Example as in shared attachment, Stream#1: Whiplash (2014)_FHD versus Stream#2: Whiplash (2014)_4k. However, there seems be no apparent way to select/switch to a specific Video stream. In this case Stream#2 - 4k HDR one over 1080p. It defaults only to main track 1 which is forced flagged. One can readily access/switch between Audio tracks, but is not given any such option for Video tracks.
Players such as KODI for example have this kind of feature for quite some time now. Playback of multi-video tracks is possible as one can seamlessly switch between stream using default keyboard shortcuts or Keymap Editor for custom keys/switches. Video stream switching can be done during playback, while maintaining played timeline status. Example, Stream #1 was playing at 32m:03s:500ms. When switched to Stream #2, it plays from the exact same position seamlessly. Another example of this is using more efficient players like MPC – BE on Windows, which works even more accurately. Both Videos are synced fairly accurately during switching.
I really like the playback efficiency of MX Player Pro over KODI which is bulky for most part. This is just one nagging issue that forces me to use KODI in such scenarios. Here, I am referring to playback from Media Servers such as Jellyfin with External Player support activated for MX Player Pro.
I would like to know if there is any such option or plugin that can make this possible.
