Greetings,
I use Mediafly for podcasts and it has worked fine until I updated the app yesterday. Now downloads takes forever, the progress bar never shows up, some of my downloaded podcasts were corrupted and some don't show up when browsing (like the Audio version of Countdown with Keith Olbermann).
Has anybody else experienced similar issues after the most recent update?
On another note, is Mediafly the best podcast manager out?
Thanks
Hi,
Rhapsody is an online streaming app which is available in US, We are recently getting issues on playing non-drm downloaded and streaming tracks on few android phones and tablets with wifi, like LG marquee LS800, Polaroid. when clicking the play button nothing happens, tried few basic steps like uninstalling and re-installing app and other steps but not fixed. Any suggestions on device updates or any logs on the device. Immediate response is appreciated.
Each time I power my Android TV stick (Jelly Bean) on, having set MX Player to be the default player, I am asked by every app to select a player as default, it will then remember my choice, until I turn the Android off, them when I turn it on, the default setting is not remembered and I have to set it again. This happens only with MX Player.
I have tried clearing defaults, clearing data and uninstalling and re-installing.
It started after either of the last two updates.
Can you help?
Many thanks,
Sylar

If I am not wrong, MX player is nothing to do with default app selection.
Android controls the default app to be used. If you select always when the app list appears it will be remembered till you manually clear the default or till a new application istalled which can be associated with the same extension.
If it's not remembered even after selecting always, or being reset after restart then there may be chances of bugs in your android rom.

That's the problem, it doesn't remember, and it only happens with M Player, and since the most recent updates, the android has never had a problem until then, nor has it with any other app, the button to clear the defaults listed under the MX Player is apps will be active once the 'select always' has been chosen, once it is switched back on it will not remember. Again i saw this is only with MX Player, not the android software, as it does NOT happen with any other, so its unlikely to be the ROM.
Can you advise any steps that may fix this problem?
Will resetting the Android do it?
Will a re-install fix?
Thanks,

Clear data & uninstall
Reinstall from play store.
If you still encounter the problem,
Try to download the old version which is worked well earlier and check whether it's working currently or not?
If the old version is still working then report here with the working version number. It will be helpful to identify the problem.
Just to add my experience here:
My Android 4.2.1 has been doing this also - and only since I updated to the Pro version from 1.7.35 release.
I've been trying to track down the reason - and recently read that the Pro release can have an issue where ALL settings are lost due to a flaw in Android
but in my case all other settings are remembered.
I reinstalled, I reset my Android TV, I only loaded two apps - MS Player and ES file explorer - I reset it again and formatted the SD memory card,
but it is still happening.
I select the default player for all the filetypes to be MX Player and it remembers it - but at some stage it will ask to select the media player app again
and my TV only has the web browser and MX Player shown - as I select the media from a HTTP server on my local machine.
The free ad-supported version didn't show this problem.
I'm just adding this in case someone recognises the symptom - and my Android system is terribly locked down Kogan 47" Agora Smart TV - in Australia.
I will roll back to the ad-supported version and report back in a few weeks (If I forget and someone is interested then please reply to remind me)

Just updating the thread: It's a week later and the issue hasn't re-occurred with the ad-supported version of MX Player V1.7.37
If others can report their Android version then it may show if it is a flaw in specific versions.

If anyone is still reading this thread, a workaround to this very annoying problem, is with root, freeze all other video players, then Android has no choice but to use the one you left unfrozen, as the default, without asking
Thanks for your reply, Detection. It may help others,
I will add here that my Android machine is locked down and doesn't give Root permissions, but I also want to say
that my TV has problems with every other paid app I have tried (random rebooting, slow, flaky).
I have reformatted and tested a number of times, and loading a paid app causes it to do these things. My Android version is speshul.
Free ad-supported apps work quite well - something to do with authentication is borked.
Awesome phone so far. I've had it about 2 weeks. This is the first real issue I've had:
When I try to play a video in a Google+ post I get "Can't Play Video". Embedded Youtube videos in Google+ work fine though. When I try to play a video in my Google Photos collection, I'll get "Video not found." and then a few seconds later, "Can't play video." The exception to this is videos that I've recorded with this phone and backed up to Google Photos. Those play fine but the phone can't play any of my older videos.
All the Google+ and Photos videos play fine from my old Android phone and my PC. Any ideas?
So far, I've tried clearing the app data and cache on Google+ and Google Photos. I also tried enabling Nu Player in Developer Options.
Edit: I just tried using Chrome instead of the Google Photos app and the videos played fine. For the Google+ videos, Chrome can't play them, but Firefox can.
I discovered the same "can't play video" issue in G+ videos but YouTube ones play fine - I have reported this numerous times to Google and I also tried switching from awesome player to Nu Player in dev options - the only solution so far I've found is to go to Apps and uninstall G+ updates to the stock version - then they play perfectly again - I assume this is a glitch in the 5.0.2 lollipop version, so hopefully we get 5.1 ota or Marshmallow by Christmas as I've seen rumored, I have the carrier unlocked 6045i which I put my $30 a month Tmobile sim in.
I also noticed there seems to be no Minutes used section under mobile and whereas I can set the date range for billing in mobile data, I can't set the wifi usage date range, haven't tried any root yet as I'm hoping for ota to solve these minor bugs, otherwise love the phone also.
Fixed with today's OTA update!

kindly collect a bug report immediately after the issue & share here.
without it, it will be very difficult to understand the root cause of the issue.
where i have to send it?
Fixing MX player background play issue in Oreo
With the Oreo update every app now has Individual power saving settings. So if an App is using intelligent power saving Android will aitomatically shut down back ground running after a certain period of time or if multiple apps start running at the same time. So if you play Youtube while running MX player, Android power management can shut it down.
To fix the background play issue I tried the following
1. Open settings
2. Go to App Management
3. Find and open Mx player
4. Tap on power saving
5. Change from Intelligent control to Allow running in background
This worked for me.
