Seeing as how VLC, Kodi and Popcorn Time are vulnerable I figured that they are probably using the same libraries and there was a fair chance that MX Player is similarly affected. Please let us know and if so the expected timeline for a fix.

MX Player is not vulnerable to this issue
Video Players | Security breach report
Hi guys,
I don't want to alarm anyone and I'm new on this forum.
I'm not a developer of any kind but I've recently came across an article that's affecting many of the video players used in android.
Is MX player at risk and are there any measures taken to address this situation?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Give the details of the report.
I am assuming that you're talking about the one with able to remote access victim's computer with specially prepared movie subtitles? Is that the one?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply since it's my first thread ,I cannot quote any external sources to provide more information.
The one that you're describing is exactly the one.
Thank you
Unfortunately, it was not disclosed publicly hot to exploit the issue is but I don't believe there was any indication of an Android app being affected (it requires VNC server so presumably not).
MX Player developers will need to address this one, I imagine once there are more details
My bad, actually it's already covered in https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/mx-player-subject-to-todays-subtitle-t3611258/ - MX Player is safe
Thanks for the ref post that confirm the issue covered
Regards

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.

Any update to the progress or challenges? eagerly awaiting any news on this, as it would be super to unlock these features through MX player and ChromeCast!

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.
I enjoy watching videos that are hosted on my PC though Windows File Staring. MX Player plays them fine but does not buffer enough video to prevent hiccups in playback. This is especially true with very complex scenes in 1080p. Copying the same video to my device will play uninterrupted, leading me to believe this is an inadequate buffering issue. Pressing pause will not pre-buffer any large amount of video as the user might expect.

It's a well known issue. Since it's already listed in priority list hopefully the developer will improve it in next major version mx player v2.0

Version 2.0 huh. I was hoping this would be something that finds its way into [perhaps] the next minor update. Change some integer value from 50 to 300 and call it good.

Hello, Do not know if this is the thread for my question or not!? I want to know one thing; when reproduced before a live network link, entering places where (playing from network) and the link was there. Now not find it. And is there the last link I've attached. Me question is: I need to change something in the settings to locate? Or should I do?
Thank you friends for your attention.

Hello mrsdan1940: I don't understand your question. So let me gather some information to see if I can help you. Is your primary language English? Are you using the program MX Player for Android? It's a video audio media player for your mobile or tablet device.
Hi,
I have Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 with latest Android and I guess the latest MXPlayer update (just updated today). My internet connection is 50Mb/s. I use several online tv apps who use the MXPlayer. And frankly speaking it's a pain watching all of them. I contacted few of the developers and they said it's a player issue. Basically, shortly after I start any of them the player either hangs or stutter, or shows black screen. I tried all three types of decoding (SW, HW, HW+) but that doesn't help - they all have their own bad behavior and the end result is unwatchable stream. It seems the problem is mainly with content streaming over internet. One of the things I'm trying to watch is Waza Tv.
I'm not an expert on this. Just trying to get maybe hints on what I can set in the player to make it work better in these kind of situations. Can I change how much it buffers before it start playing live streams?
Thanks
You should post a log so that developer can find the reason of problem.

It's a pinned thread in this forum.
And unfortunately, network stream buffering is a known issue that the developer is working on.
Hi there
I installed mx player on my android tv box (freebox mini 4k) and when I watch video I click on search online subtitles, entering movie title and it shows nothing...
I configured languages preferences in the app settings (french + english).
Am I missing something ?
I am watching movies from macbook using plex media server if it's helpfull...
Thx by advance
opensubtitles.org protocol looks like being changed or broken somehow.
We will contact opensubtitles.org.
I warned you about it in a previous contributions, and no one answered. I hope you manage to fix it soon. This feature I often used.
thx for the reply so I understand it's about the opensubtitles api
I do not think there is a problem in Opensubtitles.org api, because other applications have already corrected the loading of the title. I got the MX Player buy and support the developer, but 4 months on the application did not reach anyone. 10 days no response to gmail or here on the forum. Hmm .- (

The developer is busy with the major upgrade 1.8.
It's almost in final stages. He may start the beta testing anytime soon.
Be patient.

Thank you for the answer. I will look forward to a new version comes out, perhaps as soon as possible, because I drive searching for subtitles of your application often used. Among other supports as the only search from opensubtitles.org Regardless of the name of the video, which seek out other applications by inserting video, but when I have a video that is: 448548sdssda45545sada5sd45.mp4 so I do not find in others. That was not the case.
Anyway, if it is possible to add the possibility of a larger set subtitle line and also searching always have the latest version according to the searched word. I should be if I was looking for: The Simpsons S27 E02 showed it to me always locate the latest headlines.
ps: please do not have the possibility to make action on the MX PLAYER and data necessary to apk for $ 1? You would have bought your application more people. Thanks for your time and service.
I can't find any subtitles while searching in online in mx player. What is the reason?

Do you get any messages?
Can you specify what you are searching for..?
I regularly get the message "error occurred during communicating with opensubtitles.org. please try again later" but the main issue is for 3 days now when it dose work and get subtitles it get a long list of subtitles that has no relation to the search text.
infect I believe the returned subtitle list is the same regardless of what the search text I enter is.
lets say for example I enter "haven s02e03" in the search for subtitles I get the same long list of irrelevant subtitles.
the online subtitle is unusable now at all.

It might be temporary issue on opensubtitles.org side. It's working on my device as of now.
No matter which size, format or online url I use, the video eventually starts lagging. I have switched between HW+, HW and SW decorders as well but to no avail. I’m not allowed to either attach a file or a url as of now in this thread. I have even reduced the cpu cores to just two. I’m also using the codecs on this site for 1.9.18.2.
I’ve installed MX Player on my Sanyo Android TV running Oreo. The specs of the TV, video and player should be available from the logs. Please help me either force the player to keep caching the entire video until it’s done (if that’s the problem) or find a way to get the best possible configuration for decoding the videos. Thanks, I’m advance.

Hey Yohu,
Thanks for reaching out. Generally, this may happen due to inadequate bandwidth. If your bandwidth is good enough, the server might be throttling itself. Several online streaming apps make use of the cloud storages as an alternative to CDNs. If it is the case with you, it might be due to the bandwidth limitation on the cloud storage side.
We will be able to assist you if you can provide us with more information. Could you please collect a bug report from the app immediately after noticing the issue and contact us at [email protected] along with the details about the app used for streaming? It will help us to assist you better.

I agree. My bandwidth is a 50Mbps broadband line. I downloaded a 1080p video and played it via MS Player offline. It didn’t lag/stutter even once! Then I changed the online source from where I was streaming videos and voila! The stuttering and lagging were permanently fixed. Thank you for the quick response. This thread/issue is resolved/closed.
