Can MX Player display file name as an overlay or subtitle while playing the video? - MX Player

I don't know if I have used the correct terms here -- please forgive the ignorance.
While playing each video with MX Player on my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone, is it possible to display the FILE NAME--maybe at the bottom of the screen--either "briefly" (maybe for a few seconds, then fade-out) or even "permanently" (always visible while watching the entire video)?
I am asking, because I use VCL media player on my desktop PC--and that ap does 'briefly' show the file name at the bottom as a subtitle-sort-of-thing, each time a new track starts -- then it fades away.
What are the options for MX Player?
Thanks for anybody's help!

I'm hoping for the same thing. Maybe an option to not show/show at beginning of playback/show all the time. Currently to view the file name, I need to click/touch the screen, which also brings up all the controls, menu bar, taskbar. If it was tied in with the battery/clock.playback time settings, it would help a lot.

[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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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] Change Title and Time playing text size

Hi,
Can you please consider adding an option to change the text size for two items - the title name display and the time elapsed/total time?
If it is easier to just create a single "Large" option selection that would be great too, rather than infinitely variable.
Perhaps the option can move the time fields into the area just above where they are now - for larger time text.
My family members love to listen to music with MX Player on the smart TV and with poor vision it is difficult to read the title and the times.
They select the titles using a web browser with very large text from the HTTP server on the computer - and that launches MX Player
I've attached an image of the TV playing music, with the three areas highlighted - sorry about the lousy color reproduction and image as my phone is not so good at this. The background is pure red.
Thank you for reading - and thanks for MX Player.

MX Video Player

I just recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy 4 Tab 7 inch. I use MX Video as my go to video player. My question is this (and I have googled and searched and come up with no answer) when I watch a video that is stored on an external sd card I would like it to automatically start the next video when the first is finished, but instead it just keeps repeating the same video over and over again, is there a setting that I am missing that makes it repeat like that. I am beating my head against a wall trying to figure this out.
Disable the loop in settings. I don't think it has autoplay or playlist.
Just open up MX Player and browse a folder, they should play one after the other if they are named in sequence. Rename the videos to 01.mp4, 02.mp4, 03.mp4 and so on.
P.S. This isn't the right forum, don't use google! use XDA!

Ask there all your doubts.
Yeah mx player doesnt have autoplay like some kind of netflix since youre not supposed to have entrie series stored on your sdcard....

[Resolved] Automatically changing playlists

Hi everyone,
I am looking for an app with the following features:
- Play all kinds of differently encoded videos
- have a daily automatically changing playlist of X videos that are played in loop all day long
I had a look at MX player, VLC etc., but they don't even seem to offer playlists ... (I thought about using macros to achieve that second feature, but without playlists ...)
I would be glad about any suggestions.

PS: Does it make sense to ask the developers of MX Player to implement such a feature in their pro version?
This can already be achieved in MX Player. In the video selection menu, select all videos in a folder, and press "play selected" at the toolbar at the top.
In your player settings when player a video, go menu -> play -> loop all
Thank you for your reply.
But I think in this case the videos will eternally be the same.
But I want a certain number of videos be looped for a day and the next day another certain number (for instance 5) of different videos be looped for another day.
you should use tasker
1-you create a folder "X" where you put your videos in
2-You create another folder "Y" where your put the videos that have to be played
3-with tasker you create a task that will move/copy files from "X" to "y" (you have to set up days and hour for this)
4-with tasker you create a task that will erase file in folder X (you can erase them at the end of the day for ex.)
It can a little bit hard but I think you can succeed with taker and mx.
Regards.

[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 !
