As you know MX player can play one file after another. My question is very simple: is it possible to automatically display the name of the file at the beginning of the playback of each video file, in full screen and very readable even from a distance?

Hi guys!
Some mkv movie files I watch on my Asus transformer prime tablet are a bit too dark, and no Android Media Players allows you to change brightness on the video file when you are playing it. So I was wondering if there was a program on pc that allows you to change brightness on a mkv video file without having to convert the whole file? I would want a program where you can just edit the brightness, then save the new file, like that. No need to spend hours converting each file.
Thanks!
hi to all,
i am wondering whether mx player developers could program the app so that it can search and auto-load subtitle files from local/sd folder in our android tablets or phones. this is an important feature when users stream video content from dlna servers that do not expose the subtitle files together with the video files. thus the subtitle could not played together with the video files.
this means users have to specify which folder in the local/sd storage the subtitles are stored in the mx player preferences. the subtitle files (srt files for example) have to be named the same as the names of the video files.
eg:
movie01.mp4 (streaming from dlna)
movie01.srt (local/sd folder in our tablet/phone)
i am not sure whether there are others experiencing this issue before but it there are any, this feature will be a great addition to mx player's long list of strong capabilities right now. thanks you.

It's already there.
By default MX Player uses <path of internal sdcard>/Subtitles (e.g: /storage/emulated/0/Subtitles)
you can easily change it from the Settings >> Subtitle >> Subtitle Folder
If any matching subtitles are found in subtitles folder MX Player will automatically load
Hello everyone,
maybe someone already had the issue below and could help me out...
I've turned my two old SGS2's with broken screen into an IP Webcam.
Both are gt-9100
Both have android 4.1.2 and the latest version of IP Webcam.
First, I've chosen the MOV video format, and when I try to open it, then it plays fine (but it produces quite huge files).
Second, I've chosen the WebM video format,
and when I access the webcam via browser (192.168.10.19:8080),
then I can see the thumbnails of recordings, but when I try to open them - nothing happens.
Also when I try to download the file and open it via MediaPlayer Classic, it does not work - "unable to open file".
Also, when I try to open the file directly on the phone, it does not work.
The same issue happens when I chose the MP4 format...
The issue occurs on both SGS2 phones.
Note that I have K-Lite Mega Codec Pack installed, and MediaPlayer opens other mp4 files without problem.
Any ideas what could be wrong with the recording?
Any help would be very appreciated!
Hello,
Thx for reply.
However streaming is not the problem.
I can see the stream from both SGS2 phones.
They are set to record the video on event (movement).
The video is recorded as mp4 (or webm) and saved in the internal memory.
I can see the video thumbnails,
but I cannot play it neither in the browser, nor via any player that I know of.
What's werid is that when I choose a MOV format, then it works well....
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Please post your question in the forum linked below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
The experts there may be able to help.
Found the solution.
Seems like the trick was in the video settings.
Voice Bitrate 64kbit/s
Video bitrate 1500kbit/s <- here is catch #1, it does not work if anything else is set (in my case)
Video Format MP4
Resolution 800x480 <- here is catch #2, it does not work if anything else is set (in my case)
Quality 50
Limit FPS no limit
Now I am able to play mp4 files recorded by IP Webcam.
I love my MX Player Pro and also use it for my 3 year old son so he can watch movies and tv shows. The only thing I would like to change is the ability to change how the thumbnail for the video is created. Right now it seems that it is a screenshot at a certain time interval.
The problem is that TV series from one show will all have the same thumbnail which is somewhere from the intro. That way my son can't distinguish between the different episodes.
Is it possible to change the way MX Player creates the thumbnails see for instance take a screen halfway through the video?

+1 for this request. Almost all of my kid's thumbnails are of the Disney castle intro
I've switched from MX player pro to VLC beta for the time being. The thumbnails there seem to be generated further into the video.
MX Player custom thumbnails resolution and type
Hi,
I tried some formats for thumbnails (principally for fastest thumbnail generation when MX loading thumbnails preview) - PNG and JPG files, all was ok, but some thumbnails was not accepted by MX Player or thumbnails was generated slowly, then I have simple question - what is recomended resolution and file type for thumbnail? I tested FILE.jpg/png (for video FILE.mkv etc.) with custom resolution (1280x720, 960x540, 640x360), but I dont know what resolution for custom thumbnails is recomended.
Thank you so much for answer, target device has display with resolution 1920x1080p.

Hi,
MX Player automatically generates the thumbnails based on the display resolution. If you are facing any issues with the thumbnail generation or loading, please provide us with more information so that we can assist you further.
MX Player custom thumbnails resolution and type
Thank you, can I generate my own thumbnails, respectively for target device which is TV (landscape 1920x1080p) is recomended what resolution for thumbnails and format (jpg or png or bmp etc.? - what is more recomended)? Thanks, I bought MX PRO and using in TV free version (because TV system have some restrictions).
I prefering own thumbnails, because generating by MX is slow one by one, I dont know, why MX does not using multicore thumbnails creating, but for me is this system slow and unsatisfactory, even if device have more cores - ignored by MX for thumbnails as I wrote. Thanks for help.
Hi,
I have some sub/idx subtitle files created for 720p videos and when I load them on 1080p video, they are too big, so I edited .idx file
from
Code:
# Original frame size
size: 1280x720
# Origin, relative to the upper-left corner, can be overloaded by aligment
org: 0, 0
to
Code:
# Original frame size
size: [COLOR="Red"]1920x1080[/COLOR]
# Origin, relative to the upper-left corner, can be overloaded by aligment
org: [COLOR="red"]640, 360[/COLOR]
The results are.. like this.
So font size got smaller and looks really good on 1080p, but mx players doesn't seem to read the position part. It still displays on the left of the screen even though I edited it.
On my pc, I checked that the video player I use (potplayer) shows the subtitles on the correct position(bottom-center) with the edited idx file.
Could you please look into this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Can you share the original & edited subs?
Generally, MX Player automatically scales when there is a resolution change.

When the 720p subtitle is loaded on 1080p, I think it should be scaled down, when full screen, to be shown as the same size as the one on 720p. However, the font size gets bigger on 1080p. And this isn't just mx player though. I think that's how all the video player works with the .sub file. And not reading the position part in .idx file is not only mx player but also vlc and kodi as a matter of fact. On PC, I tested only Potplayer and it worked well with the edited .idx file.
Hope MX player does as well.
Attached .sub files in both zip files are the same and I edited just .idx file in "1080p.zip".
Thanks.

Hi,
Basically, vobsub is a bitmap based subtitle format. So, the trick you have used is not supported by the most of the vobsub renderers. We have checked some other players as well. The behaviour is same. If your intention is just to reduce the size, MX Player already has an option for you. Open menu > Subtitle > settings & Reduce the scale. It will scale down the subtitle sizes of bitmap based subtitles.

Thank you so much!
I didn't notice there's a scale option in the settings. I always used the size option for .srt files so when it made no difference with .sub file, I tried to edit the .idx file.
The scale option works perfectly. Thanks again!
