[Q] Playing Next audio from NAS

Hello, I use the software version 1.7.40. When you try to listen to audio with home network storage (NAS), noticed an unpleasant feature - After playing the selected mp3 file is not played back next. The screen returns to the installation directory. However, if the folder the video files, switch to the next without any problems.
I often listen to music from your NAS using mx player, would love to have you implemented the function to move to the next mp3 file.
It would also be nice if you implemented the function go to the next folder after the playback of the current file. For example for nonstop play all the albums any band... and then all albums of all bands. Thank you!

MX currently does not have SMB read-ahead.

Cannot play video from ES file explorer smb share.

Hi,
I have a NAS that share video file with smb, I used to open these files in ES file explorer and it will give me the option to open it in MX player. Recently I got my Nexus 6P with Android 6.0.1, and there is no such option anymore. The video will always default to use es file explorer video play. Anyway I can fix this?
Update:
I noticed in the app details page on the phone there is a "Open by default" option and inside there is "supported links" which has the value "*" . Maybe this is the cause? I used to developed an app that forwards intent to mx player and if I use "*" it will not work. I had to provide mime type so mx play show in the open list. Another thing I noticed is the problem is not only for MX player but for all other video streaming supported players. So it must be something changed in Marshmallow.
Thanks.

Is this a empty answer?

@ktsamy seems your post got posted blank.
Regarding the OP, hmm, I wonder if instead the problem is on ES's side. I don't know much about this area, though.

Same here, I can't get to make mx player appear in the list of players capable of playing a video from a smb share or a local dlna renderer

Issue still exists.

The issue is from the android itself.
There are 2 major issues.
1. Android 6 has a issue which will lead to disappearance of Apps. If you set app as default & Then clearing the defaults, many apps including MX, BS, VLC have disappeared from open with list. There is no way to bring them back other than uninstalling/disabling the app which you have set as default earlier in order to bring the missing apps back to list. The issue was reproducible even in Stock Nexus devices. But, it was fixed in 6.0.1
2. Pathpattern no longer works with many third party apps in newer android versions when host is set to *. This is one of the major issue. But, When you remove the host entry as you suggested, some apps will list MX Player incorrectly for unknown contents for a unknown reason. One more thing is that Google Chrome & Stock brower doesn't list the app for video files when it's removed. So, it can't be removed straight away.
BTW, after lot of test & trails I have found the solution for the issue. I have forwarded the same to the MX Player developer as well. It's now fixed on MX Player code base. Next update will bring the fix to both issues.

Thanks for your effort. My workround is to make MX player default for all required file types by opening files from local storage. Than MX Player will be default for smb files too.

mx player for video playing is not set as default.

while opening videos from gallery, the videos open in native video player instead of opening in mx player. i have mx player installed in my phone.
there is no option to configure the default setting.
please help.
if any body has any solution.

yup, same problem here, so i've just learned to live with the stock player lol

I think it's not possible to change this! Why I have no idea. There are volume problems with the default video player, as in it frequently starts loudest when the media volume is all the way down. Many times I've been in a quiet environment and boom it's loud and I have to scramble to turn it down manually. Also like the video to start fullscreen, which seems to me to be a sensible default behavior.

why don't you open the videos from dcim folder using es explorer or any other file browser?

Same issue with VLC.

any update ??

yeah i also facing the issue ,have you found the solution?

It's something Samsung have done, even if you use a package disabler to freeze the stock video player, it just complains that there are no apps installed able to play videos from the gallery even if MX Player is installed
Sucky move

I even denied permission for the stock video player it still plays the videos in gallery regardless. And you are forced to allow permission to the player to access the file.
If there was anyway we could disable the default video player we could replace it with mxplayer.
The default stock video player is stupid. When you change the brightness it also changes the brightness of the whole phone.

MX Player doesn't come up as option to stream podcast

I'm using Podcast Addict. I prefer MX Players ability to swype for timeline adjustment. In settings I say I don't want to use Podcast Addict player and then a list of apps comes up but doesn't include MX Player. It used to but not now. It may have something to do with reinstalling MX Player? The reason I uninstalled it was because I was having trouble streaming urls from Youtube. I read about a workaround, UC Browser, which allowed me to eventually open them on MX Player. It started behaving erratically so i reinstalled MX Player. After that I don't see an option to open Podcast Addict streams with MX Player. Thanks for any info.

No hints?

I don't know if it's relevant but my phone is a Oneplus one. Android 6.0.1. It uses Cyanogen OS version 13.1.2. I've been using Podcast Addict with MX Player for several years. Now when I select a podcast it asks do I want to use the internal player of the app or Opera or Google Music. All of the various podcasts show the same two options except one which offers Amazon Music Player , Google Music or Music Folder Player (another app I have for my mp3s). Why it doesn't show my other browsers as player options I can't figure out. I looked in settings/apps/mxplayer and am not able to figure out what I might change there to make it work.

I finally figured it out myself. In the settings of MX Player there is an option to use it as an audio player. It was unchecked on mine. When I checked it MX Player began to show up as an option for podcasts.

Nice to hear that you have figured out yourself. Audio Player must be enabled if you wan't MX Player to play audio files/streams.

BUG: MX Player Android TV version - "Can't play this link" when trying to play anything from network share

I am using MX player on my Mi TV stick for a while and I am vey satisfied - it is only player that is flawless in reproduction of anything - but now, for the first time I tried to play video files from my Windows shared folder and that does not work - whatever I try to play (AVI, MKV, MP4...), I am keep getting error "Can't play this link" (I roughly translated message form my native language because MX works on my hardware in my language which is not English ).
Same files plays well from local internal storage in MX Player and also from the same shared folder in VLC player - so it is not due to file formats or sharing folder content. But I can't use local internal storage due to lack of space and I don't want to use VLC for this playing from shared folders because I have tons of problems with audio delays in VLC while MX player plays everything perfect - except content from shared folders...
I am using latest version of MX Player for Android TV from Google playstore - 1.34.5 (ARMv7 NEON) - standard (non-pro) version that can be run on Android TV stick/box etc.
Can you please advise me what to do to fix this problem? Or this is a bug inside MX player? If it is, I hope it can be fixed because I really like this player and looking forward to use it on my shared content too...
Thanks in advance for help.

1,you can choose your language as you wish in option side.
2,please get into the "decode" options, check the "SW(local)" and "SW(netword)"(may be like this.), Then restart the MXPlayer, maybe you can play it. (that may be a bug, you can uncheck the options after the SMB plays well.)
