[Bug Report] MX Pro 1.7.32 crashes after playing every vid

Hi--I have used this a long time, suddenly it has become non-functional, I suspect due to the 1.7.32 update, but not sure.
--Android 4.3 (I've avoided 4.4 to retain full functionality of the SD card...)
--MX Pro 1.7.32
--Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014
--Could not follow directions for alogcat because the nature of the problem makes MX unuseable once it crashes--there is no way to hit the "settings" button in MX Player Pro at that point.
PROBLEM
So, I bring up my file list as per normal. I click on a vid. The vid does not play. In fact, there is merely a blank screen. Eventually I'm returned to the home screen of the tablet and advised that MX Player has crashed. Sometimes, I don't even get the blank screen. It just automatically disappears and returns me to the tablet's home screen. Once that happens, the program never works again (until reinstalled or data cleared) and won't even let me into the program. Clicking its icon simply brings up a blank screen, then I get "Unfortunately, MX Player Pro has stopped..."
Troubleshooting
I have tried clearing cache, data and also reinstalling. The last two DO allow me to once again bring up the File List from "folders view." It looks normal once again. However, once I try to play vids, the same, exact result occurs, i.e., nothing actually plays and the program crashes with the screen going blank.
CLUES
a) I also have this on my phone, where it continues to work fine, but on my phone, I only have a handful of FLVs. The tablet has lots of other formats, primarily mp4. On my Note 4 phone, however, I'm running 4.4 KitKat.
b) If I access the video in a roundabout fashion, by clicking on it from a File Manager, the File Manager then offers to play it with the native vid player OR Mx Player. Then, it works fine. The exact same video. Of course, then I can't access any other parts of the MX P program, and I am no longer able to use the file list Mx Player P builds.
c) I tried playing with various settings, like hardware decoder, and what not, but it did not seem to help much.
My thought is that the version supporting Lollipop has done something that Samsung does not like in conjunction with 4.3
Any thoughts welcomed. TIA

Already there is a sticky thread in which I have already explained the procedure to collect the log immediately after crash.
Install MX Log collector app
Open It immediately after the MX Player Crash
Save the logs & Upload here
Does it crashes in all decoders?
If you are using H/W+ disable it & Check again.
long press the video & select Play using | S/W decoder
Check whether it still crashes or not.

It does not matter whether or not I use HW or SW decoding.
I upgraded the tablet to KitKat. That did not matter either.
I tried to upload the log files from MX Log here. Each time (3x now!) it gave me "invalid file" and refused to accept the upload. Oh, well.

It would not let me post links even with asterisks. I took out the http in its entirety. That didn't work either. I took out the dropbox reference as well. That did not work either. Have no clue at this point.
*Indeed, it wouldn't even let me quote your post with the partial link you referenced.

FYI, just in case it helps, not as a "zing," BS Player works fine and normally. MX continues to work (on tablet and despite recent updates) only when a file is clicked from My Files file manager. It just won't deal with its own list of videos.

@monsieurms There was an issue on Note 10.1 2014 European ROM and it might be fixed on 1.7.34
Please try latest version also try clear app data, MX Player's internal database looks like corrupted. This issue is also fixed but once corrupted database will never be recovered.

@monsieurms Would you send log again using 1.7.34? Thanks!

Given your comment on list db corruption and the fact that some vids in small directories do work, I tried copying all the vids to a new directory. That didn't work.
I cleared data again and also downloade the arm7 Neon custom codec specified in the Decoder settings. That did not help either. (It did find and install the codec.)

With the clues you gave me, I experimented a little. In particular, I noticed that some vids in small folders (small in terms of # of videos), played fine. I thought at first, as mentioned earlier in the thread, it was a difference in format. But as we've seen, all the videos play fine if accessed from File Manager--so that's not it. With the addition of your clue on database corruption, I thought perhaps the issue was folder size. I divided the one large folder into two, 50-50. That fixed it.
I would say you have still an issue here---the program chokes with a large of vids in the database. It doesn't seem to bother other programs, including the native video player and BS, and it didn't seem to bother MXp Pro until the recent wave of updates. So, I suspect something went wrong somewhere.

[Q] Automatic refresh on MXPlayer

Hi,
I use MX on a Minix 8HPlus, to play videos on big screen. I use FTPDroid to push and delete videos on the device. Unfortunately there is no option in MX Player to refresh*automatically the folder. The result: MX keep in its memories the previous videos list and try to read files already deleted. Regularly I have errors «*impossible to read this video*» .
Moreover I’ve noted that «*random mode*» is not really random. I have around 90 videos and it seems there is around 10 videos with are played frequently…
1) Could it be possible to add an option in order to refresh automatically the folder every minutes/seconds?
2) Can you tell me if there is an option to "lock" folder that contains videos?I would like MX play videos in specific folders. Currently, MX play them all.
Thanks for your feedback.
Regards.

I'm not sure that this can be done in a sane way that doesn't also unnecessarily keep the CPU awake.. Also I believe @bleu8888 might be considering a file system event detection feature, that will have MX detect file system events, but I'm not sure if he still thinks this is feasible..
Also, should hit the manual refresh button on the video list as well.

I assume by random, you mean shuffle. Have you tried selecting all the videos in the folder first and then selecting Play on the selected videos, then choosing shuffle in the playback menu?

Many thanks for you reply.
1)Power consumption is not a problem for me because the minix is always connected to 220v. I understand my case is specific… I’ve tried to create an action with Tasker but it not works. Manual action is required.
2) Yes, I’ve tried this method but it’s not efficient at 100%. I have to play DIFFERENT videos each month. In order to do that easily, I’ve created several folders named «*september*» «*october 2015*» «*november*» etc.. In those folders I put videos regularly. If we are in september, I would like MX play only «*september*» videos but actually is not the case.
With your method, that means each month I have to specify which folder to scan but I’m not in office every days…
3) Yes, I’ve meant «*shuffle*». sorry for my english. I’ll will try your method and give a feedback here.
Thanks!!!

thanks

I believe this should be possible with Tasker and the MX API, give it a try: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/api
Possibly the video_list extra.

Hi,
quick feedback about your solutions. I've cannot succeed to use this api. I'm really a newbie with this kind of softaware.
I've selected only the videos I l ike to play and it seems that video are played more randomly. However it's an impression. I can't prove this with stats, facts.
I've found an app which can scan and update libraries on Android. I'll test it.
Xposed Media Scanner Optimizer v. 1.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-xposed-media-scanner-optimizer-t2942609
Edit 2: After used Media Scanner I can't see a difference. I have the impression that Android system refresh the library (I can see it in the folder in Mx interface) but MX player can't see it: I still have "unable to read this video" even if the video is still not in the folder...
It seems that MX keep in memories the last file scanned and try to read them.
For random mode, its an impression but it play the same file regurlarly...

File update: In fact, MX Player is monitoring directories to make any changes updated immediately. But directory monitoring API is broken on Android 6 and reported to Android team as an Android bug.
Shuffle: Randomness would be improved on latest nightly build (26-Jan build) since random function is changed to one with cryptographic level. Nightly build can be found on https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
Lock folder: Not supported. I think there might be 3rd party apps having this feature.

Many thanks for your update.
Édit : I'm not using mx on 6.0 but 5.1 or 4.4
I'm using the beta version (Build date: 25-JAN-2016) and I cannot see improvement on random mode. I have around 120 videos (around 4min) and there is one which have been played twice at 15 min interval.
Can you tell me if there is a way to have a list of all files played, a log ? I feel that random is not really efficient. Always the same videos coming back (I have around 150 files)

Video skipping forward issue

This happened when I upgarded to nougat on my s7 edge and now occurs on my s8 plus. The first thing I noticed is that video and image titles have changed to random numbers. The second issue being that the player can no longer skip to the next video [or image] despite being in the same folder. However, these features work inside the stock samsung gallery app. The next video in the queue can be played and titles show appropriately. I do not have encryption on and I've tried a factory reset. Could this be some security measure in nougat / touchwiz or what is going on. Anyone experience this?

Can't skip to next file anymore
Hi there,
I've got exactly the same problem described by fourskim but on a Motorola Moto Play Z with Nougat
I'm not able to skip to the next video in an directory anymore.
It doesn't matter at all, which kind of data manager app i use to get a list of the files and
it doesn't matter if it is an internal directory, or a directory on SD-Card, or on a USB-Stick....
It's not very handy closing the mxplayer after every single file, searching the next file, and start the mxplayer again.
I've got the PRO Version - but it is the same with free Version....
Ne ver had this issue with MXPLAYER all the years before.
Any ideas ?
best regards, wsdweb

It's because nougat changes. It no longer allows the app to pass the file path to external apps. They are forced to use content scheme.
MX Player will receive something like content://com.sample.app/something. When MX Player can't detect the directory, it can't play previous or next videos from that directory.
We are working on that. It will be fixed on upcoming MX Player v1.9.0.

MX Player stopped when tring to play video

Whenever I try to open any video file in any app using MX Player or MX Player pro. I get a message that says 'MX Player has stopped'
I have attached the logs. Start @ timestamp 13:07 for a test trying to play a video from the internal movie library
This is using Android TV x86 7.1.
VLC plays fine.
Tried MXplayer version 1.8.21. Same issue

We have investigated from our end. But, couldn't reproduce the issue.
Have you rooted the device and changed anything on system partition?
In your logs, we have noticed crashes on some other media related system libraries as well.
We have checked on the Google Play data as well. There weren't any similar crashes reported on the nexus player. MX Player uses several android internal modules for performance reasons. Since you are facing the issues with even older versions, it looks like some firmware bug triggers the issues on MX and some other system libraries that rely on some particular modules. can you please update your firmware to the latest and check again? It may fix your issues.

No I haven't rooted anything, not even sure how to do that. Just installed the Android TV and added apps. Using a third party launcher called 'Top TV Launcher 2'. Also have VLC and mpv players (both work fine)
When you say firmware, are you referring to the computer BIOS or the Android TV? Both are at the latest version I can find, which is not that easy to find for Android TV. Can you PM me a link to the version you are using and I will try it. Thanks.

Are you using the android TV firmware on the PC? Can you provide us more info?
As we have mentioned, MX Player uses several android internal modules to improve the performance. So, if some system module is broken on your Android TV ROM, it will affect the apps that make use of them.

Yes, the Android x86 for PC is the base OS on the PC. I tried other flavors of Android TV and MX Player doesn't work on any of them. I even tried using a different PC with different specs with same results. MX Player crashes as soon as it displays an image or plays any media.

Bump... MX Player still not working. Where do we go from here?

All the Android x86 for PC OS'es are already rooted. None of them will run MX Player. Also Amazon Prime Video and Google Video fails exactly the same way. They must use the same libraries that MX uses. What logs or info can I upload to get this resolved?
All other apps I have tried work fine. VLC, MPV, Archos, ES Player, Kodi.
Any help on this is appreciated. Tell me what logs or info I can upload.

How can I see which modules are crashing? I am not that familiar with the Android OS. Minimal Linux knowledge and a guru with Windows.
Here are the debug logs

Since it's a crash caused by the android internal libraries, it is very difficult to fix this until or unless we find a way to reproduce. Unfortunately, we couldn't still figure out a way to reproduce the issue. We have even tested on the Android x86 (7.1-r2 from http://www.android-x86.org). But, MX Player works as expected. Have you tried this one on your PC?

Yes I have this is the one I am using right now, so I have to assume it is a hardware/driver related issue. I am using a Dell Optiplex 9010 with i5-3570 4GB memory and 128GB SSD drive. What are the specs of the hardware you have used and I will try to duplicate it?
One other clue is that besides MX Player Pro, Amazon Prime video and Google video also crash as soon as you try to open a video. VLC, MPV, Kodi, ES Player, EXO, and Archos all work fine. I am sure the issues are related.

MX Player doesn't detect OTG videos

Hi, I bought a Motorola One Power 2 weeks ago. Although everything is good about this phone, the only problem I encounter is that OTG videos don't show up in MX Player but all of them do show up in Strorage/Gallery and I can even run them but it's inconvenient to play videos from gallery. Does anyone have a solution to this? I've searched a lot and found none.
P.S. MX Players plays OTG videos in my other smartphone HTC Desire Eye running android Lollipop.
P.S I bought a new sandisk 128 GB USB type-C OTG for this one, also I'm running Android 9 Pie

We regret the inconveniences. MX Player's OTG support currently depends on the OEM's implementation. If the OTG drive is mounted on a regular location like /storage, MX Player will automatically scan the drive and show the list of files. In several recent devices, it is mounted in a secured location so that third-party apps can't directly access it without some special techniques. As Gallery and Inbuilt file manager's have system level signature, they can access the OTG device without any such restrictions.
However, We will share this issue with our relevant team for further evaluation of the possible improvements in the feature. Meanwhile, your patience is highly appreciated.

No problem, it works now. I rooted my phone and did some tweaks after reading some relevant posts on this forum.

I have same problem with you, cannot detect usb otg in kenzo with custom rom nitrogen os. When in miui it not any problem.
May i know where you found the solutions, maybe it can solved my problem too.

I have the same issue, which I posted some days ago. I would really appreciate a reply from the devs, for an app that is NOT free and we paid for it. Still nothing. At least you got one...

We regret the inconveniences. As we mentioned earlier on this thread, it purely depends on how the device mounts the USB device. If it can be read without any restrictions, MX Player should be able to read and list your files without any issues. However, we have already highlighted this with our relevant team and added to our roadmap. We will do our best on bringing some convenient methods to browse the files when the USB storage is not directly accessible.

Really sorry for the late response, I stopped checking XDA as I rarely got replies here. So here's the solution. I kept it bookmarked in case I need it in future. If your phone's rooted.
1. Open Terminal/ Install one from Google Play Store
2. Type these commands/code:
su
sm set-force-adoptable true

Really sorry for the late response, I stopped checking XDA as I rarely got replies here. So here's the solution. I kept it bookmarked in case I need it in future. If your phone's rooted.
1. Open Terminal/ Install one from Google Play Store
2. Type these commands/code:
su
sm set-force-adoptable true
And save.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry late report...
Your solution Its work for me,, i can play movie direct from ufd in mxplayers....

The other app ES File explorer supports USB storage on the same android ROM version.
But MX Player doesn't.
