[Feature request] Floating Window - MX Player

Hello I want to make a feature request..
Kindly add Floating Window feature just like mobo player and YouTube has.. I dont want to use any video player other than mx player but due to lack of this I'm sometimes using Mobo player.
So kindly add this feature in next update, Its really helpful in multitasking
Thanks.

Ya its a good feature. We all want it.

We have some plans to work on this after the release of our upcoming major update 1.9.0. But, We can't provide any timeline at the moment.

Thanks for starting this up here. Any updates on Chromecast support?

THIS is the Chromecast solution I feel I have been waiting an eternity for. Best of luck with ongoing development...
Well, Miracast accomplishes a similar result, but as it's live transcoding of your entire screen, it would only have decent video playback on higher-end devices. That and Miracast means you can't do a 2nd task on the phone when the video plays.
From my understanding of Chromecast support right now, Google is slowly rolling out support for different formats and file containers. Not sure how long this will take. MX Player transcoding should mean that anything would be playable, assuming your device can handle live transcoding.

Where is the proof or where did you find that
ALSo. I wanted to ask.
Could you please not do one step at a time?
E.g add Chromecast support but for NORMAL. E.g. Basic support. For normal formats which work. Like avia media player.
Thank you
Supported formats: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media
As to your question about adding Chromecast support, that would be a question for the developer to answer. @bleu8888
Hopefully we will see this happening any time soon.
Thank you in advance, because we all know MX is the best out there.

Ok, so what exactly does this mean? Is the developer working on Chromecast support? Any ETA for when it should be expected?
Yes he is working on it; no an ETA has not yet been indicated. Thing is, the developer wants ALL videos to work on Chromcast; this means MX Player must do live transcode on any format that Chromecast doesn't support.

What I don't understand is WHY don't you do 1 step at a time?
Why cant you simply right now, add the NORMAL chrome cast features, just MP4 files first.
and then later work on every single file format and transcoding?
Im sure many people would like this option?
Is it possible for a modern quad-core ARM phone/tablet to transcode video formats on the fly? I love MX because it literally plays anything I throw at it, but I don't know if this is the same as transcoding these different formats for casting.

@Krisshp Don't know; it was the developer's decision.
@CAL7 well, for 10-bit I would assume it can't handle it, considering only the more recent phones were able to decode it. For 8-bit, it might be possible if the bitrate isn't too high.

Cant you give this suggestion (which many ACTUALLY want) to the developer? and take it 1 step at a time?...
Thanks
there are many different options out there to use at the moment if you want to stream to chromecast. I agree with the developer having his standards of exactly what he wants his app to be able to do before releasing it... Kudos to him! :good:
I echo the same sentiment of playya.
I agree with you guys, no need to rush, it must come out when ready... But it would be very nice to be updated about the progress, just to know if we can expect it this month or in december 2015

...... Or just leave us in the dark, alone, crying about our insecurities, struggling to overcome our fear of the unknown, but in the end doomed to the abysses of hell. That's cool too.
Glad to see that there is a possibility of seeing a Chromecast compatible MX Player in the future. Kudos to the devs for wanting to keep the standards up. If you need a beta tester count me in. I have helped with other apps in development. Do love MX Player the best I 've found. Just updated to pro to hopefully help with Chromecast development.

these features makes mx player unique...bleu8888 bro plz note down in ur diary

It's already available from a long time.
Enable Video Pan or Zoom and pan from Settings 》Player 》Touch Controls.
If you have enabled Video Pan than you can Move to any part of video after zooming by swiping with two fingers.
If you have enabled Zoom and pan, then you can pinch to zoom & leave only one finger and swipe with the other finger. It will move the video screen. Else you can move to any part by swiping with two fingers as said before.

[Feature request][Resolved] Adjustable playback speed

This app has set the standard and it's only 2nd to plex player because they undercut you on their price for their app (you get what you pay for, right?) but I'd like to make a suggestion for a feature that I think, and maybe many others along with me, should've been in mx player all along. Playback speed control! The only player that I've seen with playback speed control is VLC player but it's in beta and playback orientation is always a hassle or issue with it so PLEASE OH PLEASE implement playback speed control. You ARE my go to video player 99% of the time!

Very glad to see that the speed control is already on your top priority list.
May it be moved towards the top of this very list! :fingers-crossed:
Thank you so much for your efforts at developping such a stable and well designed application. :good:
"Set for all files" checkbox on the playback speed adjustment interface
One thing I noticed on players featuring playback speed control is that they tend to reset the playback speed each time they start playing a file. For example, when a video has been split into numbered parts, no matter which speed you have set for the part that is playing, the player will reset it to normal speed when it starts playing the next part. Some of them also tend to reset the playback speed when your phone switches to screen-saver mode. As you can imagin, having to readjust playback speed all the time can quickly become annoying.
My suggestion would therefore be to add a checkbox on the playbak speed adjustment interface, by which the user can set wether she or he wishes to keep the new playback speed permanently or only for the file being played.
In advance, thanks a lot!
Any closer ?
Are we any closer to implementing this feature along with frame by frame advance?
It's been on priority for quite some time now and I'm hoping this will happen soon.
Otherwise this is pretty much the best player out there.

My sentiments exactly. I've had to use "more primitive" android video players that offer the playback speed control function that I've been lead to believe was in development for well over a year now.
In fact, I'm easily willing to pay more for this feature (as well as the pop-out ability) if necessary.
Just as louiscar mentioned, this player would - hands down - be the best player available if these features were (finally) added to MX Player Pro.
There is a translation about Playback speed in crowdin. May be developer is willing to release this feature soon.

No, it might be a device specific issue. AFAIK MX Player Pro has issues only on Android N (7.0) developer preview due to the new restrictions implemented in it. It's default version for Marshmallow devices. For pre marshmallow it's not yet released to public.
You can download the latest nightly version from the official beta webpage ( https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build )

Why is there no native Chromecast support for this app...the best video player app for Android.
Many other video player apps have it, but I cant stand to use them.
So you can cast with the built in Screen Cast/Mirroring on the phone, but that is not good for video at all, as it is laggy and of poor quality.

PiP mode for Android O

Is it possible to have PiP mode in Android O?
So far handful apps supporting it but no video player.

Try vlc player it is currently supporting.Mx player will be adding it in future
This is my #1 most requested feature for MX Player. I really hope it is implemented as I keep checking this forum and general updates every day. I have tried VLC player and it works very well with PiP but find MX Player better in every other aspect.
Could a dev let us know if this is actively being worked on and if so, is it anywhere near release?
Thank you very much
Is the pip available in any of the latest versions? else hope PIP is on the todo list, the PIP in VLC is really useful and cool.

Yeah, I’ve already switched to VLC. It works really well
Couldn’t keep waiting for MX Player to catch up...
Yeah +1
All video players have either pip or floating window mode except mx player.. the devs have been promising this essential functionality for too long.. mx is great but watching in split window of nougat isn't practical as it takes a large part of the screen and disappears when the keyboard is open.. and many apps don't support being put in split screen

We have some plans for supporting PIP in future.
But, It may need lot works as MX Player is very complicated in nature when compared to others. So, we can't provide any timelines about the availability.

Just to get a clearer picture
Did you start working on it already or is it just a plan for the future?
Do you reckon it'll take days, weeks or months until a release?
Development of new features are slow as snail, with new VLC 3 I'm dumping MX Player completely, used it since it's inception. Time to move on.
I Have vlc 3 and it's much more polished than before. You just press home for the pip instead of navigating your way to so it. I HAVE no idea what mx hasn't added it. I know that they are capable. It's got to be one of the most featured requests. Android P dev preview will be out first though ha.
I hope they will add it soon.
It's been some eight months since we started asking about PIP. Still no road map?
Have others started moving away from Mxplayer and to VLC?
Vlc wastes 5 times the amount of battery MX player does. Probably the complexity the dev was talking about. It's not an option for me. I'll manage MX till PiP is supported
Sent from my Google Pixel 2 using XDA Labs
Well, another month goes by and the latest update still doesn't have PiP feature...
I really want to stick with this player but it's falling behind with pip.

Because of lack of PIP I tried moving to VLC several times, but i have so much of videos and there is no video folder view like in MX, VLC just shows every videos in its home or useless storage view where its shows every folder in device.
So eventually i come back to MX. But PIP is too usefull. I may need to try some other video players.
