Hi all,
Thanks for creating MXPlayer, really missing it now since it doesn't work on Android 'L'.
On Android 4.4.4 it works as it should.
Anyway, about the bug:
- MXPlayer (Pro) App can start without any problems
- Opening a video with MXPlayer > crash
I have already tried switching between HW/SW, but it doesn't make a different.
Hope it can be solved.
If more (debug) info is needed, please let me know.

Are you talking about upcoming version which is available as developer preview?
it will be better if you can post a logcat.

Thank you very much, this works very nicely. TY! :good:
@bleu8888 I assume that since MX test build worked on Android L preview, that MX now works on ART?
Sure, it is ART. Actually I did not find any problem so far on using mx on my Nexus 5 with Android L Preview.
Frankly speaking, I cannot feel any improvement with ART because Nexus 5 was fast enough even with Dalvik

Thanks this fixed my problem.
Does the new build test support AVI on Android L Preview on Nexus 5?
I have no luck playing AVI files on Android L Preview both from built-in G+ Photos app and MX Player HW+/HW/SW rendering. I wonder whether Android does not natively supports AVI or not.
I'm still using MX Player Pro from Play Store right now on Android L Preview. It runs normal on HW rendering with MP4 x264, but no luck with HW+/SW rendering.
Will try later tonight with the new test build and provide logcat if necessary.
Update:
HW+ and AVI works on the MX Player Pro test build for Android L preview. Yay!
I also found a bug where the system sound was muted, MX Player Pro test build sound still passed through the muted system sound.

Hmm, so on Android L, the system media volume was mute, but the MX audio still played through? Weird... @bleu8888 any thoughts?

Yeap, it reset the audio to its default level. I could send you a logcat, direct message me where to send though.

Just tested this out with no luck. Audio was still passed through the speaker though system sound was disabled as shown on the status bar - vibrate only.
Perhaps there's a bug on the L preview and not MX Player?

I think you have totally misunderstood. Android have individual volume controls for different activities. In my knowledge almost all android systems, If you set on mute/vibrate, it will basically mute only all alert tones like System, Notification, Alarm & Ring Volumes. It does not mute media volume. There is no such native global volume control that can block media volume. There are some custom roms like cyanogen mod which can block volume volume keys. But, that will not also work with media volume.
So, It's not a MX Player bug. It's a lack of android feature.
Look at the volume control settings screenshot which is taken while my mobile is set on mute mode.

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,
For the last couple of mxplayer updates, I've had an issue when I play video in the background. After I bring the app back to the foreground, the video 'title' in the overlay stays on the screen. If I bring the overlay up again by tapping, I get two titles on top of each other. To reproduce:
Play a video
With the video still playing, go back to the launcher (or another app)
Video keeps playing (correctly)
Re-open mx player
Video keeps playing, but the extra overlay is there
My nexus 4 has soft-buttons, that are set to autohide. I think that this is related - when I tap to remove the overlay there is a small (<1 second) window where the overlay is gone and the buttons still appear; I can avoid this problem by going back to the launcher in that window.
I'm running a nexus4, with stock lollipop (5.0.1). This only started happening in the last couple of mxplayer versions; it worked originally after I updated to lollipop when it came out.
I've attached the bug report .zip and two screenshots, both taken after reopening the app, while the video was playing. The second is after I tap to bring up the overlay; the duplication is clear there. This happens with any video; its not video specific.
I also have a same issue in z3. Sometime video title sticks in overlay.
This still happens with the latest update from the play store (v1.7.38)

This almost always fixes it - it still showed up a couple of times on my commute. I can't seem to work out how to reproduce it reliably though.

@bleu8888 Enable auto rotation mode in mx and place the phone in portrait orientation. Now play any video then click on pause and again long press on pause button. Background play service will be enabled. Press home button, mx will be minimised. Now place the phone in landscape orientation and open mx player from notification bar (mx currently playing as background service). There you will see a bug. Its only on rare case.
note: I am on latest beta build.

Hello,
I am experiencing the following problem on MX Player Pro during video streams lately:
The player crashes and just closes on different points of the video.
Sometimes after a few seconds. Sometimes after minutes.
I always need at least 2-3 restarts to watch a 50 minutes video.
When I start the same video stream again after a crash the player doesn't offer me to start from last moment and just starts from beginning.
When I manually close a video stream and start it again MX player asks me where to start, as it should.
I don't have the same problem with locally stored videos. Other video player do not have the same problem with the same video streams.
Here is the crash report:
mega.nz/#!3Q1nyRLK!Y6W_pTECbP2EbyVJ1-bw2-_VNvD_Sa7rYq2NVbO4qu4
More Information:
Moto G falcon 2013
LineageOS
Android 7.1.2
I hope someone can help to find the problem.
Greetings!
I've got the same symptom - recently MX Player for me is becoming quite unreliable, having been perfect for a very long time.
I'm currently testing VLC to make sure it isn't an issue with my files.

Kindly share a bug report from MX Player help menu with us. Without proper logs, it's very difficult to identify the root cause of the issue. In most of the cases, it's caused by the connection closure on the server end.
I feel like this problem is solved, and I never got to upload my bug report.
Actually it still does for me. Using FireTV stick 2. and It once happened on my android7.0 phone as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, It's an Android bug on 8.1 which is yet to be fixed by Google and there is no workaround so far. We are already researching it. We will try our best to get a workaround at the earliest.

Hope you would look into it as i find mx player much user friendly than vlc..:victory:

It's not yet fixed by the Google. I can still reproduce the issues on the VLC on Mi A1 & Nexus 6P. Maybe, it's triggered by certain conditions and then it starts occurring frequently.

Just found out something strange.Seeing that you faced the bug in vlc, i just updated my vlc player to latest and voila, the bug is present..
The thing is, it doesnt occur in the version i was using (version 2.5.13) but is present in latest (version 3.0.11), maybe u can reverse engineer this....lol
Seeing this i'm gonna try old versions of mx too to find if some version doesnt have this bug..

After some googling stumbled on a possible workaround.This is it.
In "secondActivity" (landscape) add additional setRequestOrientation in onPause and onResume method:
onCreate(){
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
}
onPause(){
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 27) {
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_PORTRAIT);
}
}
onResume(){
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 27) {
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_SENSOR_LANDSCAPE);
}
}
Hope u would check this:fingers-crossed:
Just wanna help
