[feature request] option to auto download subtitles for movies - MX Player

Some movies don't come with subtitles and needs to be searched. It would be more efficient if the video player detects the movie title and immediately downloads subtitle before the movie starts.

Auto subtitle downloading may not be feasible at the moment as opensubtitle.org has a limited quota for each IP. Moreover, there can be multiple editions/variants for a single movie, and multiple subtitles can coexist. So, it's very difficult to get the right subtitle for every video.
However, we give prime importance to your conveniences and will highlight your feedback with our relevant team for further review.

Help: MK808 Sound Problems

My MK808 works great except for some issues I'm having with the sound. When I try to play video files the video is prefect but the sound constantly goes in and out. At first I thought it was the file itself or maybe the codec the file used but nope I tried multiple files with different formats e.g. AVI, MKV, MP4 and all had the same sound problem. Then I tried different players like video, vplayer and mxplayer, still the same. I even tried youtube and still the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've heard this complaint from a few people, sounds like a faulty device. I don't have any issues with sound from videos, Pandora, Stitcher, etc...
After a few reboots I got the sound work but still it sometimes fades in and out. Lame.
My tv does this for my mk808 and my htpc. I think it has something to do with an audio option on my tv. Like DTS truvolume or one of my audio options. I have a vizio tv

Turning off sound leveling fixes it but then I cannot hear anything on the TV (low volume). I have had success with different apps or programs not causing it so try a different movie players

Debugging HW decoding problems

I'm a software developer working on a network streaming solution, and I'm serving up a network stream to MX player over HTTP. The content plays fine if I save it to a file and play it locally, but if I try to play it back over an HTTP stream it always falls back to S/W mode.
S/W mode isn't going to work with a 720p stream at more than 10 Mbit/sec (H.264/AAC in an mpegts container). Any attempt to toggle over to H/W decoder always comes back with a popup that says "Cannot play this video with the H/W decoder" (with no more detailed info as to the nature of the problem).
I'm more than happy to dig through the logs (I've downloaded the MX log collector), but it would be great if you could offer any guidance on things to look for. It's entirely possible that the problem is somehow related to how I'm serving up the stream but I don't see anything obvious that would cause MX Player to fall back to SW mode.
Any suggestions on what to look for in the logs would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, does the author offer any form of source license for commercial parties? I suspect if I could recompile the app and add some more logging I would be much more likely to isolate the underlying problem.
Devin
Me too. Im having the same problem when i try to use h/w decoder on a mkv format. Can somebody help us?
In which device you are facing the problem?
I can reproduce the same in mediatek based devices. But, the problem is not only with MX Player. I have tried other players like Dice player. It also has the same problem.
Can anyone conform the same with Qualcomm devices?

Anyhow I will inform to to the developer regarding this issue.

@bleu8888 could you look into both issues? (logging + commercial use)

PGS subtitle from BluRay rip

Hi there,
first of all - kudos on an excellent app. I've found a tiny flaw in the implementation of PGS subtitle overlays. if you rip a 1080p Bluray disc to a 720p mkv file, the PGS subtitles are preserved untouched, but they still contain the 1080p screen position coordinates. When you view the video, the subtitle appears aligned to the bottom right. All of the geometry controls for the subtitle work except position. You can scale it up and down but it just grows from the bottom right corner. VLC does this as well.
It would be great if you could tweak it so the the position / centering function worked for PGS subtitles when they're used on resized video.
let me know if you need a test sample.
thanks again for the app

Hmm. Did you turn on pgs subtitle from subtitle track selection menu?
And then would you give me a sample video clip? All my videos having PGS subtitle works with no problem.

Ah - updated again. All seems good now!
Mini - request - when you pinch zoom the video, the subtitles resize and can disappear off the bottom. Can they be overlaid downstream of the zoom? Cheers!

If you are looking for a streaming app with posibility for watching and downloading new movies in 720p and 1080p with option to add subtitles I would recommend popcorn time app.
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------
This is example of 720p.
---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------
Unfortunately only 720p is possible due to default internal storage lack of free space.

hey man, you can play HD movies smoothly via VLC Player. . .
if you want to play 1080p movies in core 2, just install mxplayer and mx player codec (ARMv7 NEON) then go to mxplayer settings Decoder>then tick Use H/W+ decoder

[BUG] Streaming and subtitles get stuck at first sentence

Sometimes when i am streaming a video with subtitles, the subtitles only show the first sentence. I think its MX player can not determine the "playing time" because the progress bar is also stuck on the first second, although the video is indeed playing.
Weird hum?
