Hello, and thank you in advance for your help! I use MX Player Pro mostly for watching technology training movies on the go. Frequently, I encounter content that I'd like to be able to jump back to when I get back to my desk. Is there a way to bookmark within a video?
For more or less the same reason, is there a way to "favorite" a video?
Settings > Player > Resume
That will make it remember last playback position.
There's no favouriting videos. Though, you could get a similar result in a roundabout ray by moving videos to a "favourites" folder.
Greetings,
MX Player is the best!!
I just wanted to one-up this request for a bookmarking feature simular to mvideo's. It's very hard to find this feature even though the demand for the feature seems to be high. Mvideo has it, but doesn't play in the background.
VLC has it, but only on their Windows player, not their android player. MX Player is the best player and I believe this feature would make MX Player even more popular.
Thank you for the great player amd your time and consideration.

This feature is needed.
Really want this
Can MX support DLNA? This is useful!
The best app for that is BubbleUPnP: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp&hl=en
I also would like to have the Option "inside" MX Player to set my TV as Output Renderer.
For instance, if iam at my Work Break, i watch something, e.g. it has an Extra SRT Subtitle, and iam at a Position inside the Movie lets say 20 Minutes in,
for when i get home, with Bubble PNP i have to search the Video, i have to Jump Forward to the Position i was, only to see, the the SRT File is not there.
I Tried Imediashare, Pixel DMS etc. no one gets it with the SRT´s.
It would be just perfekt, if you could add UPNP as an Output Renderer, like Youtube or Imediashare. Even other Mediaplayers do it nowadays.
thx in advance.
Youtube generally rides on proprietary Chromecast. Also, if you are truly using DLNA/UPnP, using MX Player won't help. When it's sent to the TV or whatever receiving device, the DLNA standard says that the receiving device does all the decoding, meaning that the receiving device needs to accept SRT subs.
Iam just a regular UPNP user, no chromecast, maybe next year with Screencast to chromecast2, so i can beam MXplayer output "as is" to the Stick.
From what i know, long time a go, i used the Samsung PC UPNP software, that came with my old Samsung TV, guess it was something 6000 series.
From that time i remember good, that the PC Software was able to start "feeding" the TV the Stream, at the last known and remembered Position of the Stream I watched e.g. a weeky early,
same as MX player so perfectly does.
Also the Software , as you say, streamed the SRT file to the TV, and this was accepting it. It was one of the main reasons, i bought a samsung in the first place.
so in short.
1. Starting the UPNP Stream at the Position of the File were MX player stands
2. Send the Srt file that is selected inside MX Player (e.g. the downloaded versions) to the TV
3. Remember the Postion the Stream to TV was interrupted (e.g. TV was shutdown)
if this is all implemented, MX would be king.
Except, BubbleUPnP already does most, if not all, of that. In fact, you can even use BubbleUPnP to manage your library, and also tell BubbleUPnP to use MX Player when playing files locally on the phone. BubbleUPnP will handle the DLNA streaming to the TV/TV-stick.
The PC software you are describing sounds a lot like what BubbleUPnP does on Android.
Tagging @bubbleguuum as perhaps he can comment a but further on what BubbleUPnP can do.
P.S. Hi bubbleguuum! You may or may not remember that MX Player forums used to be on Google Groups, but since last year we've moved to XDA Shout-out to @ktsamy for getting MX Player its own subforum.
I Still dont get, how i would use MX Player in conjuction with BubbleUPNP ?
from what i understand, these are two seperate Video Players, MX is for Phone, and Bubble is Phone and Stream to TV.
You make it sound, like i could/should use both simultaneously ? How would that work in real life ?
Thx for your help.
Within BubbleUPnP, you can specify the local renderer as MX Player.
yeah i tried that, but that is only helping bubblepnp to render the file locally to be able to read the file and then be able to stream it.
I want it the other way arround. I would like MX player to use Bubbleupnp as the intermediate Program to stream to the TV.
Cuz only then i have my last "MX player" known Starting Position inside the video.
If Bubbleupnp searches the Files in File structure, it always start from the beginning of the file, and have to search by hand, where i might was in MX Player.
or can i get bubbleupnp to read out that info out of MX player to jump to the time withing the videofile ? i guess not ?
thx for the help
You should ask that question in BubbleUPnP's support thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14610073
So, somehow, through my involvement or not, i got em to implement some "resume" feature into his Streaming upnp.
But heres the bummer, its useless for my scenario (wich is really so weird ?)
Bubbleguuum: The video resume feature is only implemented for streaming to external renderers.
For local playback, it's up to the video player app used to eventually implement it at all (eg MX Player does it by default),
but it is entirely separate from BubbleUPnP.
so back to square one, for my "local playing and resume later on TV" dreams.
could you maybe make an API for MX, were bubbleguuum could crawl the MX local resume time data for a given file ?
so he could maybe ask for "resume last local time, or External Rendering time", and than resumes at the Time MX Player Throws at em ?
thx for your patience
That sounds like a stretch usage case, as then you would still have MX marked as incomplete, even though you've finished watching whatever it is on the TV via BubbleUPnP.
not if Bubbleupnp could save its resume time back to MX Player over your API.
And it was just a suggestion, to how to solve "my?" problem, of not beeing able, to stream from MX Player to my TV.
I dont want the struggle with Bubbleupnp. I just want, that MX Player could stream something, dont care if i have to buy a googlecast stick, or what ever device. But now i am just stuck, with 2 Programs, doing the same thing. one is now also resuming, nice. but not local ?
and MX player is only resuming local. wth, thats now the end of it ? why isnt MX Player capable of Stream to an external renderer ?
is watching on TV and Mobile such an awkward usage case ? Thx anyway, seems like i am just a dreamer.

Native streaming is something that is on the developer's eventual todo list already. As to his status, I don't know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-chromecast-t2725253
ahhhh thx. only thing is, that this thread started like 2014. so is there really hope. i dont know, at least, iam not alone anymore with my wish. Maybe with chromecast 2 comin out, MX Streaming development is finished dont know why bubbleupnp is working, and MX not. Its really silly to sit in front of a 55 TV holding your phone, to watch stuff. thats some kind of 2nd screen generation
thx for your patience. iam off
Showbox updated today and now instead of letting me use an external player of my choice it forced me to download MX Player from the Play Store. MX Player is useless to me because it does not have Chromecast support. Can someone explain to me why Showbox is doing this? I have no need for it anymore if I can't cast it and I don't want MX Player. It's crap.
WTF?
I could not agree more. A service designed to help cut-the-cord started with annoying, "I can't be streamed" action last night. Now is proving to be WORSE than cable"s $200/mo for three channels even worth watching.
Comcast nazis then force their customers to rent a DVR/decoding box (another SEPARATE charge that never depreciates in value). So, tell me how Showbox is any different with rigging the game and forcing us to use some lame video player?
Well, I might as well uninstall because I can't stream to my TV anymore. The app on my ancient Google TV wants me to do the same thing. But, guess what? THERE IS NOT COMPATIBLE VERSION OF MX PLAYER for GTV. So, thanks very much (insert random chained expletives here)
And why are you even asking it there? Ask developers of that app.
So stinking upset
I've tried every work around there is. No solution to this. I've Googled and searched and downgraded. I've recently sent an email to MX Player developers expressing my sincere disgust with this switch, and anger at their promised Chromecast support but lack of delivery. Furious! If I could find the developers of Showbox I'd let them know my displeasure as well. I've left a negative review of Showbox on Apptoide and a negative review of MX Player on Google Play. All we can do is hope Showbox gets the hint after all the complaints. Anyone have any other ideas of apps that do what Showbox does? I bought Chromecast JUST for this app less than a month ago....displeased is very minor depiction of how I feel now.

try the app Hd Cinema from mobi or something, it works for me, allmoast the same app xD
Yep. I'm done with showbox. HD cinema works very well.
Just added HD Cinema
Yep I'm also done with Showbox! HD Cinema has more movies going to try streaming tomorrow!
Nothing constructive is being said here, so I'll be locking this topic. If you want to complain about Showbox choosing MX Player, then go to Showbox's support forums/page/email. The MX dev has indicated intention to support Chromecast, but has never ever committed to a timeline; it will be ready whenever it is ready.
I'm using Podcast Addict. I prefer MX Players ability to swype for timeline adjustment. In settings I say I don't want to use Podcast Addict player and then a list of apps comes up but doesn't include MX Player. It used to but not now. It may have something to do with reinstalling MX Player? The reason I uninstalled it was because I was having trouble streaming urls from Youtube. I read about a workaround, UC Browser, which allowed me to eventually open them on MX Player. It started behaving erratically so i reinstalled MX Player. After that I don't see an option to open Podcast Addict streams with MX Player. Thanks for any info.
No hints?

I don't know if it's relevant but my phone is a Oneplus one. Android 6.0.1. It uses Cyanogen OS version 13.1.2. I've been using Podcast Addict with MX Player for several years. Now when I select a podcast it asks do I want to use the internal player of the app or Opera or Google Music. All of the various podcasts show the same two options except one which offers Amazon Music Player , Google Music or Music Folder Player (another app I have for my mp3s). Why it doesn't show my other browsers as player options I can't figure out. I looked in settings/apps/mxplayer and am not able to figure out what I might change there to make it work.

I finally figured it out myself. In the settings of MX Player there is an option to use it as an audio player. It was unchecked on mine. When I checked it MX Player began to show up as an option for podcasts.

Nice to hear that you have figured out yourself. Audio Player must be enabled if you wan't MX Player to play audio files/streams.
