Hi,
i can successfully open a single rtsp link with 'menu/network stream' dialog (like rtsp://192.168.1.23:554/Streaming/Channels/1/). But if i paste this into a .m3u8 playlist file MXPlayer cannot play it. I have other (http) streams in m3u8 playlists so the extension seems ok.
Anyone know how to put rtsp:// into playlists for MXPlayer?
Here is a sample link:
rtsp://mpv.cdn3.bigCDN.com:554/bigCDN/mp4:bigbuckbunnyiphone_400.mp4
I've put it into a .m3u/m3u8 file but it throws an error immediately when accessed by MXPlayer.
When i enter the url into 'menu/network stream' it does work. The problem is its not saved/remembered there reliably so putting it into a playlist file should be the way to go. But how?

I am using Voice Command 1.5 for PPC (O2 XDA IIs) and recently had to do a re-install. This time I put BetaPlayer on before Voice Command and now BetaPlayer activates when I ask it to play a music track. Previously the Windows Media Player would play the music and I cannot figure out how to change the default player for Voice Command!
Of note - It is not MP3 file associations as this still points to Media Player not Beta Player (Clicking on an MP3 brings up Media Player). Also, when I state "Next Track" with Media Player active it changes track ..... very confusing!
I feel that the activation of Media Player is contained in some form of ini file for Voice Command as I have searched the registry for some link to Voice Command and Media Player but been unable to locate this. If anyone has any suggestions I would be most grateful.....
Found it!
It isn't .mp3 file associations it is .asx association (Playlist).
A simple edit of the registry with PHM Registry Editor soon fixed the problem!
I had the same problem, but my other offending player was mortplayer..
now this solution may work for you so here goes.
1....i uninstalled mort player first because mvcommand tried to call each time i tried to call an artist mp3 file.
when yo try to use mvcommand again to call the artist, an error "voice command.asx" would be displayed. mvcommand actually places this file in a temp directory on your pda's memory.
2.......i then used Gsfinder+ a freeware file explorer program to associate the file asx with "windows media player file" by doing a file open... choose program method,
3 now open the asx file, this will load the media player...close it
and try the command to load an artist from mvcommand.
it worked for me.
if your probblem is related to video files the same procedure may work for that too, but am not sure if it will save an wmv or avi file to the temp directory.
Good luck :roll:
Hello all.
I am trying to get some of my favorite local radio stations internet streams onto my phone. I got an URL sniffer and have been able to get Windows Media Player to play the MMS source on the stations that I want. In other words ... it is working.
What I am trying to do now is get a shortcut for the MMS link that will open the stream without me having to open Windows Media manually and then opening the URL. Everytime I create a shortcut, it creates an internet shortcut, which uses Internet Explorer. I have tried redirecting the shortcut to open with Media Player using GSFinder, and that still is not working.
Anybody have any suggestions to getting this to work.

Above is the radio station address that I am trying to stream. I am not particular to any program ... all I want is to click on the shortcut and have the program self launch/play. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

what you're looking for is called an .ASX file.
it's basically a shortcut file for windows media streams.
look it up and make one yourself.
have fun
Sorry to bring an old thread up...but I found this very useful!
There are a lot of applications like WebTv, DiamondTV, but it is very simple.
Just make your own asx file, and click on it...voila WM or Coreplayer or any other player starts up and plays the stream. Light, easy.
here is a guide how to create the asx file:
To create an ASX metafile, open a text editor such as Notepad and enter the following text (substituting your own stream for stream):
<ASX version="3">
<Entry>
<ref href="stream" />
</Entry>
</ASX>
Save the text as an ASX file. Replace stream with your actual stream.
Click the ASX file to test it. Your media player should open and play the media file.
Nice
Finally, This post is really useful.
A post is never too old. You have completed it with essential informations.
Thanks! It's exactly what I was searching for.
Hello,
I have a few questions, I hope some one can answer them.
I would like to know if it is possible to set a video folder that is on a network or a web site. I have all my DVDs copied onto my server and would like to access them from my devices.
When I try to add a folder, via settings, it will not show me a network. If I go to Network stream I have to type in the complete url to the file its self for it to play.
Example: 13.125.44.133:4040/movies/61/video_ts/vts_01_1.vob
I would like to be able to see the directory with the list of folders that the movies are in and then select the folder and have the app play the movie.
Example:
Movies/
61
2012
After Earth
....
Maybe the only way to access to this folders its using a file explorer with the capabilities of accessing to network folders.
I was able to locate the file, like you suggested. I am using ES File Explore, it allowed me to save the path and also associate the vob files with MX Player. So now I have one more question. When I ripped my DVD's, they are just like on the DVD. There is 4 or 5 vob files numbered 1, 2, 3... When I select the first vob file and it plays to the end it goes back to the ES File Explore app and does not continue on to the second vob file. Is there a switch so that it will do this or will it just not do this?
MX Player currently has no built-in SMB share support. External apps like ES File Explorer only pass 1 file URI at a time to MX.
This has been previously requested before. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mx-videoplayer/nYpihpAVJq0/discussion
It's already on the feature requests list. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-running-list-feature-requests-t2718297
i see that there is a "back to list" i uncheck this and it went to the next file, seam to work.
Interesting, I didn't think that they would have changed so quickly to passing all the URIs in the folder. Well, good to see that you found a solution.
Related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/bug-report-video-button-lan-mounted-t2967882
An amendment to what I said above; MX still doesn't receive all the URIs, but rather does predictive requests based on filename, as a quickfix to this issue.
I use ES file explorer to do this, you can 'save' the location as a shortcut to the desktop of your device (long press on the folder, select save to desktop)
There are currently a few bugs with this in the latest version which i have my own thread about, subtitles dont load and some videos require software playback to prevent audio going out of sync but it works and works well in general.
Anyone using this feature could tell me how it works when there are 2 files - video and subtitles?

If the directory listing is enabled on the host, MX Player can get the list of files. So, it will automatically load the subtitle as we. Else, MX Player will try to get the subtitle by assumption (by just replacing video extension with subtitle extensions). But, it doesn't work everywhere.
So, it's better to enable directory listing if you are using a local server.
I haven't been able to sort this out on my own:
What I am wanting to do is setup a playlist that redirects to play mp4 files from a server.
Is this possible?
I also didn't see full api info, can you provide a link?
Thanks!
API: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api
I assume the server is accessible via SMB? I don't think it's possible to make an SMB playlist that MX will play... I doubt .pls or .m3u8 files will work with SMB, though you could give it a try anyways. The best way is to have an external app create a playlist and pass the paths to MX via the API.
Hi I have a link from a website that I want to make into a shortcut file that I can play in mx player android. When I paste the link into "network stream" everything runs perfectly but when I create a txt file with the link and change the extension of the file to .m3u or .m3u8, the file plays but I can't skip around the video. So the text document would have the following in it
Http://www.youtube.com/video.mp4
I ran the file in the VLC app on android and I can skip around the track so must be mx player Anyone have a fix or better option to do what I'm doing Thanks
