[Feature Request]Support DLNA/UPnP??

Can MX support DLNA? This is useful!

The best app for that is BubbleUPnP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp&hl=en

I also would like to have the Option "inside" MX Player to set my TV as Output Renderer.
For instance, if iam at my Work Break, i watch something, e.g. it has an Extra SRT Subtitle, and iam at a Position inside the Movie lets say 20 Minutes in,
for when i get home, with Bubble PNP i have to search the Video, i have to Jump Forward to the Position i was, only to see, the the SRT File is not there.
I Tried Imediashare, Pixel DMS etc. no one gets it with the SRT´s.
It would be just perfekt, if you could add UPNP as an Output Renderer, like Youtube or Imediashare. Even other Mediaplayers do it nowadays.
thx in advance.

Youtube generally rides on proprietary Chromecast. Also, if you are truly using DLNA/UPnP, using MX Player won't help. When it's sent to the TV or whatever receiving device, the DLNA standard says that the receiving device does all the decoding, meaning that the receiving device needs to accept SRT subs.

Iam just a regular UPNP user, no chromecast, maybe next year with Screencast to chromecast2, so i can beam MXplayer output "as is" to the Stick.
From what i know, long time a go, i used the Samsung PC UPNP software, that came with my old Samsung TV, guess it was something 6000 series.
From that time i remember good, that the PC Software was able to start "feeding" the TV the Stream, at the last known and remembered Position of the Stream I watched e.g. a weeky early,
same as MX player so perfectly does.
Also the Software , as you say, streamed the SRT file to the TV, and this was accepting it. It was one of the main reasons, i bought a samsung in the first place.
so in short.
1. Starting the UPNP Stream at the Position of the File were MX player stands
2. Send the Srt file that is selected inside MX Player (e.g. the downloaded versions) to the TV
3. Remember the Postion the Stream to TV was interrupted (e.g. TV was shutdown)
if this is all implemented, MX would be king.

Except, BubbleUPnP already does most, if not all, of that. In fact, you can even use BubbleUPnP to manage your library, and also tell BubbleUPnP to use MX Player when playing files locally on the phone. BubbleUPnP will handle the DLNA streaming to the TV/TV-stick.
The PC software you are describing sounds a lot like what BubbleUPnP does on Android.
Tagging @bubbleguuum as perhaps he can comment a but further on what BubbleUPnP can do.
P.S. Hi bubbleguuum! You may or may not remember that MX Player forums used to be on Google Groups, but since last year we've moved to XDA Shout-out to @ktsamy for getting MX Player its own subforum.

I Still dont get, how i would use MX Player in conjuction with BubbleUPNP ?
from what i understand, these are two seperate Video Players, MX is for Phone, and Bubble is Phone and Stream to TV.
You make it sound, like i could/should use both simultaneously ? How would that work in real life ?
Thx for your help.

Within BubbleUPnP, you can specify the local renderer as MX Player.

yeah i tried that, but that is only helping bubblepnp to render the file locally to be able to read the file and then be able to stream it.
I want it the other way arround. I would like MX player to use Bubbleupnp as the intermediate Program to stream to the TV.
Cuz only then i have my last "MX player" known Starting Position inside the video.
If Bubbleupnp searches the Files in File structure, it always start from the beginning of the file, and have to search by hand, where i might was in MX Player.
or can i get bubbleupnp to read out that info out of MX player to jump to the time withing the videofile ? i guess not ?
thx for the help

You should ask that question in BubbleUPnP's support thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14610073

So, somehow, through my involvement or not, i got em to implement some "resume" feature into his Streaming upnp.
But heres the bummer, its useless for my scenario (wich is really so weird ?)
Bubbleguuum: The video resume feature is only implemented for streaming to external renderers.
For local playback, it's up to the video player app used to eventually implement it at all (eg MX Player does it by default),
but it is entirely separate from BubbleUPnP.
so back to square one, for my "local playing and resume later on TV" dreams.
could you maybe make an API for MX, were bubbleguuum could crawl the MX local resume time data for a given file ?
so he could maybe ask for "resume last local time, or External Rendering time", and than resumes at the Time MX Player Throws at em ?
thx for your patience

That sounds like a stretch usage case, as then you would still have MX marked as incomplete, even though you've finished watching whatever it is on the TV via BubbleUPnP.

not if Bubbleupnp could save its resume time back to MX Player over your API.
And it was just a suggestion, to how to solve "my?" problem, of not beeing able, to stream from MX Player to my TV.
I dont want the struggle with Bubbleupnp. I just want, that MX Player could stream something, dont care if i have to buy a googlecast stick, or what ever device. But now i am just stuck, with 2 Programs, doing the same thing. one is now also resuming, nice. but not local ?
and MX player is only resuming local. wth, thats now the end of it ? why isnt MX Player capable of Stream to an external renderer ?
is watching on TV and Mobile such an awkward usage case ? Thx anyway, seems like i am just a dreamer.

Native streaming is something that is on the developer's eventual todo list already. As to his status, I don't know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-chromecast-t2725253

ahhhh thx. only thing is, that this thread started like 2014. so is there really hope. i dont know, at least, iam not alone anymore with my wish. Maybe with chromecast 2 comin out, MX Streaming development is finished dont know why bubbleupnp is working, and MX not. Its really silly to sit in front of a 55 TV holding your phone, to watch stuff. thats some kind of 2nd screen generation
thx for your patience. iam off

Mts File streaming over http having minor problem

Hi, I am helping out a math instructor to let his students watch videos that he recorded during class on their own phones, tablets.
And i found that the video format is MTS.
I got a internal network http file server system running and mounted all the files, mp4 file streams are looking good with MX player.
But when I attempt to open a link that refers to MTS files, they do not stream. They just download on the phones.
And it seems like it works when I paste the url on the app manually, but does not when I click the link on the browser... So I assume it is a problem that the browser cannot handle MTS files as video formats...
Q.Can I modify the browser(I'm using chrome, but I can let the students use any other apps) by some settings to associate the MTS file links to MX player?
P.S. I was not allowed to encode the files to any another formats, because those files need to be big enough (so nobody else could steal them easily&sneaky, the instructor is selling those videos to non-students, so stealing would be a big problem.), and all the computers they have literally suck at encoding. (Probably 1 : 2 / video runtime : rendering time ratio, even the server sucks.)
Sorry for the poor grammar and thank you!

We have checked with the latest version of the MX Player with the latest version of the chrome. MX Player is listed properly when the MTS file link is clicked. In our tests, Firefox has shown the similar issue as Firefox uses standard mime types.
Kindly check it again with chrome.
If you prefer Firefox, assign a video mime (like video/mp2ts) for mts extension on your server. Then it will also work.

I have added the mime-type on the server and it worked.

Cannot rewind m4a or weba files while streaming

Basically rewind while streaming files via HTTP protocol only works for mp3 for me. This problem does appear on any external HTTP server, but I also used mine own server to look at HTTP requests and there is no ranged requests for non-mp3 files for some reason, only for mp3 files. I'm not sure if it's MX Player bug or not, maybe something wrong with my phone's OS, I'm using Android 6.0, if it matters.

Kindly collect a bug report from MX Player help menu after reproducing the issue and share the same here. It will help us to assist you better.

since v.1.10.12, mx player doesn't show up in the listof the players

My device is on android 7.0 and since last two beta updates from playstore, MX disappeared from the player list when I try to play the network stream.
It still shows up when playing the video stored in the device, but not when the video is a network stream.
This issue happens with v.1.10.12 and 1.10.13 so I installed 1.10.9 and it works now.
Hopefully this issue will be fixed in the next version.

Same here. Android 7.1.1

There weren't any changes in this regard. If you meant that MX Player is not listed while opening video links on Chrome, it is an internal change on the Chrome. It uses it's own mediaplayer instead of asking you to select the activity (or app) to handle the link. If it is not supported, it directly starts downloading the file. Similarly, some other social apps (like Whatsapp, Telegram) has started using the same in the recent time. Since we do not have any controls on their app, we are also helpless on this

Hmm I don't think it's the change on the chrome. All the other players such as vlc, kodi and all the other player kind apps installed on my phone still show up, and even MX player v.1.10.9 working fine. Only MX player v.1.10.12 and 1.10.13 disappeared. ( i've just updated to 1.10.15 to see if there's any difference but unfortunately this version doesn't show up on the list either.)
And I was not trying to open the stream link on chrome. It was a kind of cloud app(no recent update) and have been using it with no issues until v.1.10.12.

That's strange.
Kindly make sure that "Play media links" in the settings > general is enabled in MX Player.
If it is already enabled, Can you pls share more information with us like the name of the cloud app, version, device details, etc? We will try to reproduce it in our end and get it fixed for you.

MX Player fails to recognize intent from other apps
Hi, I am an Android developer and I have been using MX player as a video player for my app for 3 years now. My app has HLS links that I pass to MX Player via intent. But since the last two updates, MX player has stopped recognizing that intent, and ActivityNotFoundException is thrown in my app. I have around 10 million app users and most of them rely on MX player to play HLS links from my app. Please look into this matter at the earliest. Hoping to hear from you soon. Here is the code I have used in my app to launch MX player:
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setPackage(getMXPlayerPackage(context)); //here i check which package mx player is installed (paid or free) and then return the corresponding package
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(uri), "video/*");
startActivity(intent);

mx player

Hello, I really enjoy the app.
I downloaded an mx player from Google Play in version 1.26.7,
and when I want to run the decoder - (I tried NEON and AIO),
it writes to me "Can't find a custom decoder. Please use the ARMv7 NEON 1.25.0 decoder version".
What am I supposed to do?
Some audio files are not working (EAC3) And it sucks me a lot.
Thank you very much

MX player Local Network Connection Error​
Need Help using Local network in MX player on Nvidea Shield.
I'm unable to reach host when trying to log into my laptops local network with MX player. VLC doesn't have that problem so I'm sure it isn't my laptops network settings. I just don't like VLC interface I prefer MX player
I use my laptops hostname and ip adress I looked up in Command prombt. Under server I have tried the following SMB:\\ 192.XXX.XXX.XX and SMB:\192.XXX.XXX.XX or just my ip adress 192.XXX.XXX.XX
For the path I use C:\ Users\Kram\Videos. Really don't know what the problem is. Keep getting the following result: "Connection error Unable to reach host. Please make sure that hostname /Ip and path are valid and try again''...I have the latest MX Player version...
Can anybody please help?

I too applied more than 15 times and there is no response from MxPlayer team. Its more than 1years. We have our own Video Production ( Jol chobi studios) and produce original regional content in youtube - multiple channels. Looks like mXplayer is poor in responding to requests or they may have too many requests with less staff to handle them. Either ways, its quite frustrating. What is thing???
