Hi there,
I need some help in order to make use of MXPlayer as a player for my TVHeadend streams on Android.
I have a TVHeadend Server setup and working perfectly on my Raspberry Pi Zero. I'm used to watching these streams on a RPi 3 running OSMC/Kodi without issues.
Here's where I am stuck. I want to use MXPlayer to use these .ts streams to no avail. I only get a garbled image and a chopping sound.

I am in Brazil. Here we have as a Digital TV standard a variation of ISDB-T, called ISDB-Tb.
I know it uses H.264 and AAC.
Both AFAIK are supported by mxplayer pro.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry.
I am new to this.
Should I post this to another thread or provide the logs here?

I have attached the logs,
Also, As I get home today, and sampled a .ts file. I've noticed that MXPlayer Pro can play this sample as you'll find out.
But it cannot stream it. It is NOT a bandwidth issue. I know that because the default video player can play (without sound) the same streaming coming from TVHeadend.
Hope that helps

I have tried to stream the video from a remote location & couldn't find any such issues.
The logs in your report are only a few lines. Looks like some other process is generating more logs & MX logs are getting erased before you collect the report. Can you increase the log buffer size in developer options of your device & collect the logs again after reproducing the issue?
does it happen with all decoders?
basically, HW decoder uses the same media player API used in stock video players. So, it should behave exactly same as your default player in most of the cases. What about HW+ & SW?
Here is the log with increased size (4MB)
I have tested with HW+ and SW.
With HW+ it behaves basically the same as HW with the difference that it plays a couple of seconds more before stalls with a garbled image.
SW: it plays, sort of, losing A/V sync. Unwatchable.
Hope that helps;
same here, instead of that if I save the stream to local storage, mx player can play A+V with HW

can you collect a bug report immediately after playing the video?

Is there a way to rewrite the YouTube program to direct it to other sites? Seems it would just need a way to manually enter addresses.
The Youtube program itself doesn't handle the playback of video, it's just a wrapper that interacts with the special Youtube-specific features like comments and user ratings.
That said, when you visit youtube, you're actually viewing m.youtube.com content, or RTSP/3GP video. This is not FLV video. That means there is no way right now to easily modify the existing software to view other sites unless they have RTSP/3GP content. An example of a non-Youtube RTSP/3GP site would be www.zoovision.com Visit it in the browser and you can watch the videos in the streaming viewer.
By the way an excellent RTSP/3GP site is www.vuclip.com. They transcode content from other streaming video sites into RTSP/3GP.

Android being Open Source Project, is the main reason seems that they have not implemented other other Codecs and Video Streaming Protocol out of the Box,
3GP is Third Generation Mobile Partnership Protocol and Free to use without Patents. I think we only could get other codecs as Addons from Google, but getting it as In built will be a Problem.

3GP is not a codec; it is a container for audio and video streams like how FLV is a container. Android probably has libavcodec or something which can handle most commonly used AV codecs. It can definitely play back H263 and H264.
Interesting !!!
Not sure if the streaming is exactly the same for VUclip, Zoovision, etc.
On Youtube, I get zero frame bleed on GSM or up to Wifi and the vids scale to connection (GSM, Edge, 3G and wifi)
Wifi looks amazing on the G1- as good as desktop view (IMO).
I get a LOT of frame bleed even when using wifi for any site other than Youtube.
The bleed is so bad the vids are not watchable. Very few do not exhibit this issue, but I could
just be unlucky with it.

They already stopped the developing of Adobe Flash for Android. So i quite dunno why you wrote that!? It is already out.
I'm wondering what the specs are for video recording under android 1.5/cupcake?
What resolutions will this phone do? What frame rates will those resolutions handle? What video and audio format does it record to?
I've looked around, but have not found anything this specific with regards to cupcake...
Anyone have any details?
Nobody has any idea?
Can anyone with cupcake installed tell me what options are available in the video recorder?

It records 3gp video, but I don't know what codec it uses.
The options are only for high quality or lower quality.
One of the HTC builds that I've triend also had a choice between differenc codecs, one of them being MPEG-4 (can't remember the second one).
I've recoded a short clip, you can inspect it and see what codecs it uses: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/39463944/file.html
Here's the information that VLC gives:

I was able to play it on VLC in Linux (Ibex), but it had no sound, so only video. Overall the quality was pretty good (for cell phone standards), and there is an option to auto upload/publish to youtube which is kind of neat

I have no sound either. It must use some weird non-standard sound codec.

This was HQ. LQ is for MMS messages.
It does have audio, using the (S)AMR codec (Adaptive Multi-Rate). This codec is not shipped with precompiled versions of VLC due to legal issue. You can get it if you compile yourself.

I've installed both: amrnb and amrwb separately, and the video still has no sound
My sound played fine when I used quicktime. Here's the format reported under quicktime if you're wondering.
There's sound for me also.
I'm using media player classic from cccp
Here is a video I upped to youtube via the phone.

Hi there!
What is the best way to get the videos, with subtitles (.srt), on my TV?
I am trying AllCast (still testing the free version - only 5 min of streaming) in my Apple TV. For photos, it works fine, but for .avi videos, it does not. Is it an AllCast issue with this video format?
I also have a Chromecast, but it is still in the box... I will learn about it soon... Is Chromecast the best option? If so, what are the best apps, or video player, I should have in my Nexus 9?
Regards!
Chromecast is hands down the best way to stream to the tv. Unbox that thing, and get an app called popcorn time.

Chromecast + BubbleUPnP and it's window server to transcode video on the fly + Servioo
For more movies showbox android app
I have to say Plex. I knew nothing about it when I set it up, but instructions were easy to follow. their support forums have some great people to help.
Plex handles and transcodes all my videos, and handles SRT files fine. I also like Plex because it can be used on so many platforms (home computer, tablets, phones, gaming consoles. etc)

Popcorn time has its own streaming built in ie the cast button in the app once the video is playing. That will always be full screen when casted to the tv from within the app. For other video players when casting from the utility built into android l, youll have to change the aspect ratio in your tv settings under pucture section. I hope that all makes sense, i know its a little wordy. Let me know if you have any questions.

No 3rd party app needed. Just make sure youre running popcorn time version 2.4.1 and have your chromecast setup.

Hi,
Have you checked the subtitle bottom margin option on MX Player settings > Subtitles > layout? It will help you to move the subtitle text to the bottom-most position.
PS: Please note that some advanced subtitle formats like SSA (aks, ASS) allows the subtitle makers to predefine the subtitle positions on the screen. So, this setting will not affect such subtitles.
@MXPlayer @USBhost @CDB-Man @Thirumalai.K
This bug is still present, even when we put the bottom margin on 0!
On nPlayer with these settings:

Exactly!
We need more options for the bottom margin - value: -10 or -20

I wanted to open a thread about this, but I might as well just post here.
I have the same issue.
That is with PGS. SRT is adjustable just fine.
Installed latest MX Player beta 1.33.2 version from here https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build and still same bug

still not able to put subtitles in the lowest position in android tv with mx player. Not even with mouse. What a pitty. NOVA is good but it lacks stability for huge libraries so mx player is the way to go, but that subtitle positioning is making me crazy.
I've been searching for a way to play x265 10bit 1080p files over Kodi, with an external player, since the native player, at least on this tablet, won't do this in either hardware or software decoding mode. I also know that K1 doesn't support hardware decoding of this files, only software decoding, I have no issues playing x265 8bit 1080p files.
From what I've searched and tested myself, this is what I could find so far:
- Using MX Player Pro with software decoding, as a Kodi external player, the files play fine, even some 4K files play acceptably well, the problem is that, because the content I'm trying to play is shared from my Nvidia Shield TV via Kodi upnp shared library, I only get the subtitles that are encoded inside the video file and not the external ones;
- MX Player Pro, as a standalone player, can't even detect my Nvidia Shield TV Kodi upnp shared library, and I don't intend to use local files;
- VLC, as Kodi's external player, will play the files with stutter, same as the native Kodi player, no matter what decoding modes I use, and still no external subtitles;

- VLC, as a standalone player, will detect my Nvidia Shield TV Kodi upnp shared library, and allow me to select the subtitles I want, but still stutters;
So, what I would like to find out is, either a way to for MX Player to let me select external subtitle files, as Kodi's external player, or out how to add Nvidia Shield TV Kodi upnp shared library to it, and use it without Kodi.
If someone used a different method to solve this, please let me know, I really couldn't find much. Thanks!
PS: Before someone suggests this, I've already tried the Kodi forums, they're so nice and helpfull there... The result is that I've been talking to myself for the last week, either no one cares to help or no one really knows how to do so, a simple "it can't be done" would be better than nothing at all.
