[Resolved] MX Player support for Android 4.4.3

Hi,
According to AndroidPolice and other sources (sorry, can't link), Android 4.4.3 is coming.
Will MX Player work on this version or is an update necessary?
Thanks!

Sure, no reason why it should not work. MX Player requires Android 2.1 and above...

I can't add a link because I'm a new user, but there was a relatively long delay (more than a week if I understand correctly) until Android 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 support was added when they were released. Users got a dialog saying "Unsupported android version" and MX Player wouldn't load. Only when MX Player v1.7.21 was released it started working again.
You can Google "mx player unsupported android version" for references.
I just want to know the current version already supports Android 4.4.3 or is it going to show the same error.

Actually that was not a version issue but an incompatibility issue with Android internal module.
MX Player uses many Android private modules to improve playback performance.
Sometimes this private modules changes and then this message will be showed up.
In that case, audio module was changed so the developer has been forced to rewrite entire audio output codes.
That's why there was a delay.
MX Player will be compatible with android 4.4.3 if there is no major changes in Internal Module.

ktsamy is correct. Even if the developer ( @bleu8888 ) were to force compatibility, it could potentially result in no audio at all for example.

In previous versions, most problem was from incompatibility of audio output module.
With the latest version of MX Player, the compatibility was improved. Therefore I hope it works without additional patch.

There is of course no way to say for sure but going by the details that were leaked this will be a minor update and certainly not a big overhaul.
I doubt android devs will have tampered with those modules again since quite a few apps rely on those and it's not worth breaking compatibility again unless they're having to make some major changes.

..so please update the app to support it! Getting the typical "Unsupported android version" message.

Google keeps on changing it's internal modules. That's why we are facing problems. Wait for the update.

Would you send system log using MX log collector after launching MX Player and getting "unsupported.." message?
4.4.3 is not yet available either on my device and Android emulator.
MX Log collector is available on Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.logcollector
-------- Update --------
I got upgrade myself. Please don't send log.

When will an update be available?
I paid for this app and now cannot use it. When will it be updated?

Definitely does not work in 4.4.3. In fact it is the only app of the 189 that I've opened tonight on my phone that doesn't work in 4.4.3. All 188 other apps at least open.

I've been using BS player whenever a new version of Android comes out and therefore MX stops working.
I can never remember which version of vlc works on my phone.

MX Player relies on lot of android's internal modules for better performance. In the last update there was a change in audio module which was preventing the player from run.
This time it's graphics module which prevents the mx from run.
As I already said, the developer is already working on it. it will be patched as soon as possible.

Trivia question for you: when was the last update to Android that didn't break mx?
The speculation on the old mx support forum whenever there was a new version was that mx would automatically stop working whenever a new version came out - in other words, it was testing version numbers. Is this not true?

Nexus 5
Confirmed.
MX Player not working on Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.3.
Using built-in Video player till updated version is released.

I can't understand.
Are you facing the issues in purchasing the app from play store?
Either Google play payment may not be available in your country or a ususal download error on playstore.
If google play payment is not supported in your location you can buy it from official website.( https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/buy)
If still have difficulties try to purchase/install from website (http://play.google.com).

1. You cannot download MX Player Pro "free" from Google Play store unless you bought one before.
2. If you bought one from Google Play store, you should be able to use MX Player Pro Beta also.
To ensure your problem, would you send me your purchase record from Google Play store?
If you concern about security, send a message using "Contact developer" link from Google Wallet -> Transactions -> MX Player Pro.

[Q][Closed] N7 2012 on Lollipop

Trying to get MX Pro running on My son's N7 2012. I own Pro from the app store, and found that the play store build doesn't support 5.0 yet, so I downloaded the test build from: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
I installed MX Player Pro and the Tegra 3 Codec.
MX Crashes and won't start, so I downloaded the non Pro, and it starts/plays just fine. I'm guessing that as a Play store Pro user it might be a license issue, or is it something else?
Thanks,
Nevermind... I should have read through the other thread all the way through. I see I'm not alone. Please ignore.

Are you kidding?
The online subtitle download feature is implemented before 5 months & you are claiming that it was broken from 4 months. As far as I know it was broken from Oct.
Regarding this issue I have already contacted the MX Player Developer. He has already contacted opensubtitles.org team. The issue is from their end. It will be resolved as soon as they fix from their end.

2 video applications with Search headline issue does. Or other applications that read seek headlines and captions know how to download and unzip the zipper. Therefore, I think that is a problem with your application, and if the problem do not go any other application.

I installed on Lollipop, it won't find my purchase and closes. Had to revert to Play Store pro version.

It keeps telling me the neon codec is not installed. When I install the codec from the play store it says its outdated

Is the audio sync feature added.If it is not please add it.

I think I may have solved the problem. I had the last nightly from a while back installed. When the new version couldn't check and closed, after installing the Play Store pro version I then installed this nightly again and it worked.

Both has inbuilt neon codecs.

Can you check it again. Without any updates the subtitle search function has started working again. I have personally checked.
As I posted earlier It was the opensubtitle.org issue. When they fixed it, it automatically started working again.

I installed the first link. That's why its weird. On my other devices it works fine but on one tablet it gives me that error.
On that device (android 4.1) I get that error, on other devices (> 4.1) it is all good. I think Mxplayer is looking for the neon libs in the wrong folder, since in android <=4.1 libs are in a different folder than in newer versions

MX Player Pro Downgrade.

Is there anyway to downgrade to an older version of MX Player Pro? Before the last update, when all my videos played properly and there wasn't a full screen ad every time i opened it.

]It seems that you are using a unofficial version. Pro version doesn't have ads at all. Even in Free veraion ads are in banner format which is basically displayed on the bottom of the list & very small in size. From where you have downloaded?

Can you share the screenshot of menu > help > about screen...? It will be better if you can share the apk file too? I will just check the integrity.
MX Player Pro doesn't contain ad modules & it can't show ads at all. You might have installed MX Player instead of MX Player Pro.

I'm using the free version. I'm not sure it started from which version but 1.8.15 has full screen ads which are very intrusive. Full screen ads appear whenever I launch the app or go back to the video list. Is this intended? Will installing an older apk make the ads return to banners?

Their latest version of MX Player is garbage, because to much ads. I will move to VLC.

Latest version looks like the project is took over by some scammer and they try to get as much add revenue as possible while it lasts.
New changes: Bug fixes
Result: full screen adds, extra adds in between list items and a new privacy agreement...
I don't mind adds but this is absurd. And what an a** way of hiding it behind 'bug fixes'.
Added negative review to play Store to warn others.
Goodbye MX, hello VLC

Uninstalled this past weekend. Ad blight plus a never-ending battle for AC3 audio made the decision for me. As if streaming ads weren't enough, video ad downloads are endless. Still unsure where I'll land but MX is dead to me.
