This problem was not before, with the same version of mx player. But, it appeared suddenly. I cant be able to figure out what is causing the problem.
Details of the problem and step to reproduce :
go to mx player and play any video (until now video get played as normal without issue) -> then touch the screen or try to slide up or down to change the volume or brightness -> video get stuck-> wait for sometimes -> device get automatically get rebooted
Device: MOTO G 16 GB rooted and with custom ROM (cyanogenmod ROM snapshot M9). I think there is no problem in custom ROM because video works perfectly in default player. and even I played video on mx player previously.
I have attached the logcat please look and let me know what to do.
Info about logcat: logcat stopped when mx player got hang.
Please do not post bug reports directly into the Feature Request list. Post them as a new thread. I've moved the post to a new thread for you this one time; next time please start a new thread with your bug report.

There is not enough information in the log file.
Please use MX Log Collector. It is available on Google Play Store.
Also following information will be help.
1. Used decoder.
2. If it happens on all videos.
3. What happens if run mx after shutting down network connections using airplane mode.

First of all thanks for the response.
I figured out what is the reason behind this problem. "show touches" option in developer settings causing the problem. when it is activated problem occur but when i deactivate that option mx player works fine.
Way to reproduce :
go to the system settings > then go to Developer option > check the box for "show touches" in input setting.> now go to mx player app and play any video and slide on the screen or touch > it will freez.
Decoder is default I didn't change the decoder or might be I dont have one.
It happens with all videos.
when I activate the airplane mode, problem is not resolved.
I have attached the bug report( taken from mx player ) and logcat of the system (taken from adb).
thanks

If you read the first post of that list thread, the first thing it says is to provide a LINK to another thread with your problem or feature request. Anyways, let's see if your issue can be solved!
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.

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.

Would you send log using 1.7.34 or test version on following link?

Hello
Since the last update (1.7.38 the one where the notification area player changed) there are some issues I'm facing with long mp3 files. Not bugs but they are pretty annoying!
I listen to long mp3 files like recorded radio shows (2 hours) and audio books and here's what happens in this version that didn't happen before:
1) The notification area player disappears after a short time whereas in the previous version it didn't disappear unless i pressed the "x" button. So that way i cannot resume fast whenever I want to without having to open the app!
2) The mp3 starts at a previous point when the 1) happens and i have to resume it from the player itself (i have to open the app again) (e.g. I stopped it at 1:30:27 and when i resume from the app it starts at 1:00:00 and not where I paused it)
Please fix those issues. or just restore them to how they were
Otherwise the player rocks and it's op with subtitle sync and all those encoders! (imagine i couldn't even play some of the long mp3 files in other players!!)
Thanks and keep up the good work! cheers!
I think I was polite and described my problem. Why NO answer???
It will be now!
well done thank you!
Very strange issue, but everything is possible, try lastest beta version.
I will try to reproduce this on my phone and I will come to let you know.
problem continues!

Looks like app crashed while playing mp3. Would you try other decoders (HW, HW+, SW)?
Typically HW decoder would not crash at least.
You can select default decoder based on file extension on Settings > List > File extension.

Whats the difference between this app and "screen mirroing " of chromecast apk

Differences are :
Chromecast mirroring is only one of the features of this app (you can also mirror to many other kind of target devices, broadcast to Internet, and record)
Official Chromecast mirroring gives better latency
It's works for some devices for which Chromecast mirroring is not possible with Google's app
You can choose to stream with internal audio OR microphone audio OR both
You can change many settings such framerate, bitrate, and resolution to tweak quality
Software encoding provides many live video effects
probably few other differences but I think I told you most important
VLC
VLC crashes after I change the screen orientation. How to fix this?
Everything is ok. I was using old version of VLC, after updating it works properly. Sorry.

Galaxy s5 audio issues

It might be because of the ROM you are using, but I am not sure.
I'll try to check if this is a problem related to this device, but it would be great to know if it is the same with Samsung's Lollipop ROM...
I can only get it to have Su access like 1 out of 8 times. But Su actually grants access evertime it just seems the app doesn't know. Then when it does work I can't get it to actually stream to twitch. It just says "Mirroring is paused" when I press play. Then if I press stop it automatically goes back to the opening screen giving me instructions for if i'm not rooted or Android 5.0.

Sorry for the wait,
I am able to stream to google with some lagg, but i cant do the local desktop recording.
1.-I can open the app.
2.- I select record on local file option.
3.- I start the recording.
-its recording well if i don't start the camera app on the desktop.
If I do that it crashes or doesn't save the video or saves but doesn't play the full video.
My version is 2.1.5 .

Hi Sloosh,
In the quest of helping you fix this problem , I will send all the details of the device . My device android version is 4.1.2 and its on a samsung camera s3 . For what i saw , I needed the code to run it on root that you guys provided(start service.sh) .I think the problem lands on the class you used for the recording on the application . Once it starts the screen recording and the camera app at the same time there could be a conflict on the class or the resources.
*Updated my app
I did all the process and at the end when i open the camera app it looks like it works well. When i see the video the video is just damaged , it doesn't play the full video and stops each 3 seconds . I have to play it again and again and the camera part doesn't show .
I would like to help you more but the Screen Stream app is driving me crazy . With all the bugs and the publicity it takes me like 5 minutes to run the application . If i want to use it again the next day, I have to run startservice.sh again.

Hi, I'm having issues with the audio, if I have it set to internal and enable it to play on my device as well it will echo really bad on the stream (using it to stream on Twitch). Its not so bad if I don't have it play on my device, but I really like to have it play on my phone as well when playing a game.

Camera uses a lot of things, it might also be an opengl issue because it uses opengl for video effects.
So if I understand well now the camera works well, but you have troubles with recording a good video file, is it correct ?
If so, can you please let me know the settings you are using ?
Have you tried to enable hardware encoding option ? It should be disabled by default with your device because it is running Android 4.1, this is a quite old Android version now and causes some troubles...

What do you mean by it will "echo really bad on the stream" ? Do you mean it cuts audio or produces scratches on the stream side ?

On the stream side, it sounds like its playing the audio twice, one is faint but you can for sure hear it. It almost sounds like it my phones microphone picking it up, but I do not have it set to mic/internal (mixed), I only have it set to Internal and then check the "keep on phone" option. If I do not have that option selected it works fine.
I've had this issue for a very long time. I have tried different versions of MX player, I have tried the PRO version too and it always has the same problem. It also has this problem for me on multiple devices.
My subtitles do not appear on the screen when they are enabled. The only way to get them to appear is to bring up the on screen menu (menu with pause, play, skip)
If that on screen menu is up, the subtitles are up. Once that menu disappears after the couple seconds, the subtitles disappear too.
If I need to see a subtitle I have to bring up the menu, and constantly scroll through the menu so it doesn't disappear on me and I can read it. Very annoying!
Also, the on screen menu appears cut off as you can see in the picture. When you press forward or back and it skips the video, that message on the screen also gets cut off at the bottom.
I did the bug report but it wouldn't let me upload log.txt.gz the rest of the files are attached.
Anyone know how to fix this?
TiVo 4k stick
Android TV v9
MX player 1.31.3 (latest in playstore)
I have the same problem. It has something to do with video size, as the problem disappears when you set aspect ratio to manual and reduce vertical or horizontal by just 1 point.
I hope it gets fixed soon...
I have the same problem, I also bought an Mx player pro.
There is no need to send a screen shot, ThaDraGun showed and explained everything.
The problem is when the video format is smaller and I play fit to screen or stretch.
example:
- The original video format is 720p and I play it in 100% size - everything is ok, the subtitle is visible, the OSD time is correct.
- The original video format is 720p and I play it stretch or fit to screen to size 1080p - no subtitle, osd time in the half.
On VLC player I don't have these problems but I think MX player has a better user menu and setings, and I gave money for it!
EON Smart box (SDMC SDOTT0202)
Android 9
MX Player Pro 1.36.11 (ARMv7 NEON)
Top Right three dots -> Tools -> Settings -> Player -> Miscellaneous -> Android 4.0 compatible mode
Check this and then try
Of course I tried things like this, restarting apps and devices...
I wasted so much time trying to solve the problem. If the developers and creators of the Mx player had spent half that time ... they solved the problem.
To more help them diagnose the problem, here is another observation:
When the video zoom is reduced by only 1% or more, the subtitle appears.
The problem is not with the device, since everything works on the VLC player.
Why I try so hard to solve the problem with the MX player ?... maybe because I paid for it ... what a fool I am.
There is one ugly solution, which only tells us that the fix is very easy for the developer.
Try this:
Use the latest mx player beta (not the pro).
In mx player go to display settings/screen and check elapsed time and place at the bottom bellow it. Select black for text color.
With that setting, something will trigger UI and subtitles to be always on, so the problem disappears.
The downside is that you can see the portion of faint black numbers if the movie is without black bars, with black bars you won't see anything. In movies you had problem with, you won't see anything, but in movies that worked, you'll see numbers if it is without black bars.
Even that triggers my brain a lot and I hate it , so please fix this.
Thanks mate,
This also works on the pro version.
But like you said, this is a very ugly "solution" , it's not solution.
Congratulations on this idea, I hope you didn't waste many hours of your time like me .
MX player is a program for advanced users, it has many advanced options and settings.
Buy a Ferrari and then they tell you that you can't drive faster than 100 km/h ... then why a Ferrari?
Yes, the creators of the MX player, I compared your program with Ferrari, but only if it can go 300 km/h.
Try to fix all the bugs, you have a lot of them, but about them on another occasion.

Of course I tried things like this, restarting apps and devices...
I wasted so much time trying to solve the problem. If the developers and creators of the Mx player had spent half that time ... they solved the problem.
To more help them diagnose the problem, here is another observation:
When the video zoom is reduced by only 1% or more, the subtitle appears.
The problem is not with the device, since everything works on the VLC player.
Why I try so hard to solve the problem with the MX player ?... maybe because I paid for it ... what a fool I am.

I literally had the same problem as you and this fixed it.

Wow man...it worked! I swear I tried this before, but it didn't help, now it does.
It is just a little bit ugly solution too, we shouldn't be forced to use that, but I'll take it.
It works in latest mx player beta only, not in pro version, they must differ somehow, at least for me.

Like I said, this doesn't work.
I tried this on the latest version of the pro and regular versions (beta is not available for my smart tvbox).
Which device you have is very important?
I using the Samsung S series many years, and the last one is S20 ... I no problems with smart phone.
But on EON Smart box (SDMC SDOTT0202) Android 9 (one of the best) this does not work.
You can see that ThaDraGun has opened a discussion and owns a TiVo 4k stick Android TV v9, it is the same as any smart tv box or android tv.
For me and probably ThaDraGun the problem still exists!
