Hi there.
i am trying to watch movies on my MINIX Neo X8-H with the MX Player, but the problem is there are forced subtitles in different languages (in this example it is chinese/japanese subs on top - the bottom is mine. but sometimes it is in russian or other gibberish, but it happens to every single movie or TV series i turn on) and it only happening while i am using HW Decoder. but when i am switching to HW+ or SW Decoder they disappear. but the problem is that while i'm using SW or HW+, the video and the sound gets desynchronized after short time, (and it gets worse after a while), or if it doesn't (sometimes it doesn't) the bigger problem is HW+ & SW doesn't support surround mode, and i really like surround. so i am forced to use HW Decoder on my TV. Is there a way to either turn off the forced subs or to either use other decoders properly so the video and the audio wouldn't get desynchronized? Or is there a way to make HW+ or SW to support surround
Android Version: 4.4.2
Core Ver: 3.10.33
MX Player Ver: 1.10.47
ARMv7 NEON Codec 1.9.18.2

We are sorry to bring you this inconvenience. Unfortunately, it is caused by the android media framework implementation on your device. Request you to open the accessibility settings on your device and disable the caption. That should fix your issues.

I download my movies, tv shows, and anime onto my tablet then watch them through MX Player.
When I just use H/W decoder it has problems with playing it, it has like display issues and show a bunch of distortion in the film
When I run S/W it crashes every 2-3 minutes.
How do I fix S/W from crashing?
Hi there,
I got a mysterious problem with my htc pico and MX player.
If I run a video in MXplayer in SW decoder mode and while playing it, I change decoder to HW decoder, the player (video) blacks and player stops responding and then I have to stop the player by killing it. But the audio track of the video still plays through speaker. I can find nothing running in the task manager. If I try playing some audio or even try to use mxplayer to play that or other video, two audios overlap an play together.
So far, I have only found that reboot is necessary to stop the ghost audio.
Is there any taskmanager app or something that can show me list of background processes and decoders and can kill them?
My phone isn't rooted. I will probably root it very soon once I gain enough courage to do that. So, I would like to have a answer to my problem that doesn't need rooting.
Goto manage app and force close mx player. If you still hear the audio(!) then pull out the battery and restart.

I think I found a bug with MX Player Pro.
I am using it on my Android TV Q7 device KitCat 4.4.2.
If I open a video with the hardware decoder it does not correct for the Aspect ratio unless I toggle to Software Mode then toggle back to Hardware mode. Then it is OK. I have the circle selected in the Preference to force the HW decoder to correct the ratio. ( If not checked it never corrects it so the circle setting is working)
I use mostly the HW mode since my videos are Dolby encoded AC3 and HW gives a smoother picture. My work around is to do the SW/ HW toggle or for my new videos recode with the WxH the same as the aspect ratio . (IE 640x480 for 4:3 but I should not need to do this.)

Can you try H/W+?

Same problem if I switch to HW+ then back the HW aspect ratio is ok.
SW and HW+ do not pass through digital audio so the only option for me is the HW mode. (Unless that is another bug, that they don't do pass through. However not an issue that affects my normal mode of operation. I normally don't use SW or HW+ )

Can share a download link of the any sample video that has issue.....?
I will check it out.

I did a bit more testing and what I found is that if I open a 4:3 video encoded at 740:480 (3:2) video in HW mode is sets the default screen to 3:2. I can manually set the aspect ratio to 4:3 to watch the video but the default setting is still 3:2. If I toggle to SW mode then back then the default setting becomes 4:3 and the video is ok in the default aspect setting.
Seems like in hardware mode the default aspect ratio from the file is set by the size (740:480) not the actual ratio information (4:3) . In software mode it corrects this by the file information and sets default to the actual aspect ratio. So back to HW mode it is still OK
Now that I understand the problem I can manage it but it would be nice if the default ratio worked automatically in HW mode like it does in SW mode.

Off topic : is there any way I can watch the video in SW or HW+ mode but have the audio (AC3) pass through to my device like HW mode?
Thanks
When I play my videos using HW decoder so I get DTS and Dolby 5 pass through to my audio amplifier sometimes the video runs about 20% slow. The video pauses for about half a second every 5 seconds. The audio runs slow and frequency is shifted lower pitch .
I have an Android TV box with optical output to my amp. Model RK3188, Android ver 4.4.2
-Problem is only when I pass thorough DTS or Dolby audio.
-Software DTS Dolby codex runs the correct speed. (But I lose my surround sound.)
-Problem is intermittent. Some times (75%) MX Players starts OK and sometimes it starts into this slow mode.
-Restarting MX Player or just going from HW to SW mode sometimes (75% chance) fixes the problem.
-Problem occurs with many other players that have pass through except the “Built in Android Video Player” or “Archos” Video player.
I really like the features of MX Player . Just this bug is an nuisance.

Hmm, @ktsamy happen to know anything about this?
I have to manually select it every time I play a video because I don't get any sound with HW
