Hi there,
when I choose or set my MX Player as a default player in TV Zion or any other similar app on my Android phone with the latest OS update - it works just fine and I can watch the video on my phone, works perfect.
However, when I try to cast the video that I am watching on my TV through Chromecast and press Chromecast icon on my video screen and choose "Chromecast", I get on my TV just a picture with text: MX Player - Choose the video...
What do I need to do to get the video which is already running on my phone to be shown on the TV?
Thanks for your help.

My version of xbmc is linked to mx player as it works better . Not sure if the official versions have been fixed to work on android properly but I want to use the subtitles addon within xbmc ? But I can't get it to work with the mx player ..
In the default xbmc player you just have to press the little square with the circle in it . But not sure if there is an automatic way with mx player / xbmc
Is there a way I can switch between players in xbmc as a work around ?
Is there a way to disable the screen play on my Galaxy s5 screen when the screen mirroring feature is in use?
Screen mirroring is done by the system, so it would be handled there. Not sure if the app can pick up on this... @bleu8888 ?
Also, how are you mirroring? HDMI, Miracast... etc Depending on the method, the answer may differ.
Let me start from the beginning. I have a galaxy s5 on 5.0 lollipop. I use said phone to run showbox. Before I upgraded to 5.0 about a month ago showbox gave me the option to choose the external video player I wanted to use, which was vlc player. Whenever I used vlc player while I used wifi screen mirroring(the built in feature) the screen would just have video controls on it, ie pause, play, rewind etc but the video didn't play on my phone screen while still sending the video to the tv thus conserving power on my phone.
VLC has beta Chromecast support; Chromecast =/= mirror. Mirror means both screens show the same thing; Chromecast means the video is only rendered on hte output device.
MX currently doesn't have Chromecast support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-chromecast-t2725253
So I get it that this feature is not supported on Mx player?

I have a problem, suddenly i have no more network stream option in android tv
Me too
I have same problem here. I can not stream videos from NAS with Android media player any more
Please fix it.
Well, this is a problem for MX player already solved in other major competitors like kodi, nplayer and NOVA. It's a pitty that MX player developers doesn't fix this for android tv, it's just a matter of allowing subtitles to go below "0". It's a purely coding problem easily solved in hours. I hope plex doesn't solve it before you guys because then there will be no way people will use MX Player anyway. By now is still better than kodi (wastes less resources), better than NOVA (better PQ and sound) and better than nplayer (it's not forgotten), but plex android tv player uses exoplayer and it gives better PQ than Mx Player any day of the week, the problem with plex is the subtitle department that doesn't give a f#ck about users outside USA.
I sincerely hope MX Player listen to this and be the first android tv video player to give 100% full support for subtitles. And make no mistake, it's still the best in changing font and colors and outlines, but i don't understand how it forgot to let users put the subtitles in the bottom of screen (this problem only happens in android tv). I know in android pie smartphone you cna do it with touch or with a mouse and scroll subtitles down while playing a video but that doesn't work on android tv even with a mouse.
The problem is android tv is different than android pie (in smartphone) the botton of screen in a smartphone is higher than in a normal 16:9 TV, so when you apply the bottom in MX Player to a TV it doesn't go bellow the bottom of a smartphone.
Hi every one.
I wanted to try Mx player pro to cast movies from my phone Oneplus 7. When using VLC to cast to my Mi tv stick, everything works fine, video and audio, except the subtitles, that as I found out are not supported while casting. So I thought of trying mx player pro.
When I'm playing the video on my phone, audio is working, but when I'm casting it to my stick, audio doesn't play, but subs are there.
Do I need to change any settings for it to work? The movies are mkv files with dts, dolby but I'm not sure...
Thanks
