Hello, and thank you in advance for your help! I use MX Player Pro mostly for watching technology training movies on the go. Frequently, I encounter content that I'd like to be able to jump back to when I get back to my desk. Is there a way to bookmark within a video?
For more or less the same reason, is there a way to "favorite" a video?
Settings > Player > Resume
That will make it remember last playback position.
There's no favouriting videos. Though, you could get a similar result in a roundabout ray by moving videos to a "favourites" folder.
Greetings,
MX Player is the best!!
I just wanted to one-up this request for a bookmarking feature simular to mvideo's. It's very hard to find this feature even though the demand for the feature seems to be high. Mvideo has it, but doesn't play in the background.
VLC has it, but only on their Windows player, not their android player. MX Player is the best player and I believe this feature would make MX Player even more popular.
Thank you for the great player amd your time and consideration.

Hi,
Are there an MX Player SDK that we can integrate into an Android project. And use the player as mediaplayer or a surfaceview, like vitamio sdk, so we avoid open an intent and stay in the some app and customize the player.
best regards,

Read the FAQ link in the sticky welcome thread; there's a public API for MX.

sorry but using this API, we need always to open the player in new intent. I need to use the player in my custom layout so I can a add a dialog over the player or mke a layout in wich the player is a part of the view not in full screen.
It's for a set top box use.

I'm not sure it was ever the developer's intention to allow for that... though I'll let him answer this question.

MX Player is not designed as a SDK from the beginning unlike Vitamio.
Also I am not sure if it will be supported in the future. But I will let you know if I decide to support SDK.
Hi MX Player users,
We know that many users are interested to see chromecast support inside the MX Player. So, we need your inputs to implement in a better way. We have some basic questions which will help us to understand better.
Have you you ever used Cast feature provided in Android itself? Even with that You can still cast your screen & audio using Google Home.
What's the advantage of separate chromecast option over the android's inbuilt cast feature
If you are not using/intrested Android's Cast feature, what's method you are using to play with chromecast?
What are the chromecast related options you are expecting to be implemented in MX Player's side
Can you share some design thoughts like screenshots from others?
The more you provide the input, we can give you the best from MX Player.
Hey, actually I just was searching if anyhow I could cast my mx player to Chromecast
Hey, actually I just was searching if anyhow I could cast my mx player to Chromecast but not through the phone's cast button in the notification shade because that just mirror's the whole screen and you can't do anything else is you are casting your screen for a movie or something else and also it consumes a lot of the battery too. Whereas a separate cast button,
if it's available on the mx player, would be a great relief as we could then even switch off the phone's display and both the functionality as well as the battery could be saved.
Well there are some good options for casting to the TV like local cast and web video caster but if mx player merges both of theirs functionalities it would turn out to be the most feature loaded and complete video as well as audio streaming app. I hope I'm going to get this app update soon enough coz I've been waiting for the same since long.

Would love to see Chromecast added to MX Player
I understand that you can cast ur entire screen to the device but there is also a way that if you embed the casting feature inside the app so that then you can cast a movie to your TV and have MX Player run in the background so you can use your phone for other things....Granted you have the resources to do so.
I do that now with another app I beta test for called Stream
BTW..yes I'm new here but I have been using MX Player for years and I love it.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge OS 7.0
Yes and yes again!
Please add support for Chromecast.
Thanks

a big thumbs up
yes plz add this feature in mx Player
Usually we can stream from a Google apps like YouTube or partners like Netflix or Spotify. Streaming Chrome browser tab can be laggy, so dedicated app is a way to go. I use PC Chrome browser extension called Videostream. It works inside chrome but looks like standalone player. It streams great and it can use external subtitles. Videostream has mobile app as remote control. We can choose and start video from PCs HD without touching the computer.
I don't know if MX could work with mobile Chrome to cast. Maybe such direct streaming app needs cooperation with Google. On the other hand, Android is Google.
I would prefer a feature like a cast button inside MX. Press button - choose cast receiver and that's all. Video should be moved to Chromecast, so no video on MX itself. MX transport buttons should work as usual. I think auto fit to screen mode should be enough.
I'm not sure about casts like YouTube or Netflix, because they seems to feed directly from the Internet and not from a mobile device. They look like mobile app only controls them. In the MX case, it would be streaming from the device memory, so it will drain battery more anyways. But on the other hand, since it is wireless, the phone can be connected to a charger.
I think there are few features needed but it may be more difficult on a programming side.

The benifet of having chromecast support over mirroring android screen by using google home is that:
You can use other apps (like whatsapp or facebook) while the video is playing on your tv
So please implement this feature, everybody wants it ?
it's definitely necessary
1- You need to be able to output 5.1 (ac3, dts) sound to the TV, av receiver.
2- Video quality in this case is much higher.
3- Use other applications during the video broadcast.
Your player is the best for video playback, so it must be chromecast support. Thank you!
I'm lazy, so having the option to cast from mxplayer via mobile device is great for when I don't want to **** around with my desktop, or if I'm at friends house/work/camp/hotel etc. Give us the option to cast supported formats for now. Work on transcoding later.
It will be great to have chromecast support on mxplayer.
I use chromecast to watch video links on tv, but need to use AndStream apk and AllConnect apk to send it from web to tv, will be grat if there will be an way to watch videos thru mxplayer on tv.
I've rarely ask for help or tips on problems that occur with tech. But, a week ago I used to tether my nexus 6 to my chromecast in my car, and also be able to use the phone to play music, videos back on my car's screen. Now the phone won't pick up my chromecast. I can use other devices, such as phone, tablets that are connected to my cellphone mobile data. Any ideas as to why it stop working? Thanks.

I think that it would be great to be able to cast from the app.
I don't know why you haven't done it sooner. I have been using ES File explorers Chromecast plugin and it's not stable. Please include the ability to cast from your app.

Hi,
It's chromecast & Device specific issue. It's better to ask in the Device specific forum.
I have input on using built-in Android casting.
Like many other's say, the main advantage to using an apps native cast is that you can then use your device for something else as well. Secondly, the screen has to be on the whole time when using inbuilt casting - it's annoying.
Please do add chromecast support to MX Player
Why ?
Many phones do not support built in cast feature of Android. My phone hangs when I try to cast the screen through Google Home
Currently using ES File Explorer's player
It would be great to cast videos to TV with subtitles
Other options are Local Cast ( does not play some formats due to codec issue ), All Cast ( leaves their logo on screen in free version ).
yes,Please add chromecast casting as a feature ,Thank you
Why are there so much questions about why you should add chromecast support.
The Userbase is allready asking for it for years, why are tou STALLING so much.
The USERS want it, and they have PAYED for the app and development, and there has been ONE update in the last year
Support for chromecast would be great! Thank you!

Having extensively used android's inbuilt cast feature on 6.0.1 to watch content on MX Player, I can note the following:
The screen of the phone/tablet has to be on all the time, which leads to accidental input (you press something you did not want to) and reduced battery life
Video playback, compared to apps that have support for chromecast is not as good. Frames seem to accelerate or lag randomly and things that look like compression artefacts appear occasionally
Volume control of the chromecast device itself is a bit quirky: Using android's inbuilt cast feature you have to open an app with chromecast support first (e.g. spotify, or youtube) and adjust the volume chromcast outputs to the TV. The volume changes within MX Player are of minimal impact when using android's inbuilt cast feature, so if chromcast volume is too low you cannot bring it up enough.

The player's volume could be tied to chromecast volume (see point no.3 above)

I believe something as simple as this would be ok: You're watching a video and you just press the cast icon that appears if a device is available to cast the stream.
I cannot post an image or a link to showcase what I mean as I am a new user
This is the only thing this player needs so far, it needs to have video casting on smart TVs. How can the best video player not have that..while the likes of Samsung video players have it long long ago. Comon ppl. We need this.
As you can see in the title, the subtitle shortcut is gone in my mx player android app after I updated it. The show I am watching already have subtitles with it and only needs activation from the shortcut and don't need an online subtitles download. Please fix this mx player devs. Your app was literally better than other video players, that's why I'm using it.

We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences caused. Unfortunately, this is caused by an android platform bug on Android 5.x. Request you to update the app to 1.13.2, and it should fix the issues. If the update is not yet showing up for you, you can download the same from our website http://mx.j2inter.com/download and install manually.
Thank You!
How do i disable it so the volume doesnt get lowered by notifications?
Poweramp has that option for music, but cant find that option in MX player free. Is there that option? where? is it in free version or only pro?

Unfortunately, MX Player doesn't provide any options to control the audio ducking at the moment. However, we will highlight this with our relevant team for further review.

Thanks for your reply
For other peopke using mxplayer (or any app that get its volume ducked), this can be avoided by using "silent mode/dnd mode" (at least in xiaomis). But it would be great to have it built-in in the player in the future.
