Hi everyone,
When I watch a video using MX Player Pro, the screen stops before the notch and nothing I do will bring it over it.
Youtube is able to go over so it seems it's a software issue, has anyone been able to solve it?
Thanks!
I commented on a similar question in another thread....
Play full-screen video?
Hello. I just saw that apps like Prime Video or HBO Max, do not play the videos in full screen leaving the area where the camera is with a large black margin. On the contrary, YouTube or Netflix do occupy the entire screen. Do you know if there...

I also bought mxplayer pro but i switched to vlc waiting developers to correct their mistake
if your phone is rooted you can use Aspo Mods and turn off ignore the camera cutout and all videos etc now have full screen

So I purchased an android tv box and it comes pre-installed with an older version of MX Player. When I play videos with this version, all the videos are shown with their correct resolution. However, when I update the app through the Play Store, it stretches all the videos to fit the screen. I've tried changing a lot of the settings with no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction?
When playing a video, hit the bottom right "zoom" button on the playback controls. See if that helps.
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 believe this feature would be supported in near future.
Hi everyone! I'm having a problem when I try to zoom in any video to fill the screen and eliminate the black bars on movies for example. I'm only getting a stretched video, not being able to get a proper uniform zoom, except when I select the software decoder. The problem is that some 4K videos can't be played smoothly on SW mode and also I lose the audio passthrough. I know this was once mentioned possibly as a hardware limitation, am I right?? I'm using the app on a TV with Android TV 6. The reported hardware SoC is a MediaTek MT5891 (Mali T-860 GPU). Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
C'mon guys, at least tell me there's nothing you can do about it!

Yes, It looks like a hardware feature of the TV Boxes. MX Just uses android APIs. It doesn't work properly once any one of the sides reaches the screen limit & starts stretching when you zoom more. In our internal tests, Mi Box used to have similar issues. But, there are no such issues after Oreo update Zoom works properly on all three decoders.

Thanks man! I've got a pending update from Android TV 6 to 7 so, maybe it'll work with it.
Hi everyone.
This may be a solution.
I get to realise that this thread has a long history and there is no proper answer.
I too had the same problem while using MX player in Android tv. But some video are able to crop view. After many thoughts I get to realise that there are two kind of popular encoding in mkv format.
Videos encoded in H.264 have no problem. But if it is H.265 commonly known as HEVC it will no crop or zoom in.
I currently use H.264 video for maximum use of my tv screen.
Please Google these encoding method for better understanding. There are some interesting comparison between two.
Happy watching

Hi all,
I have noticed since I got this tablet that when watching videos of all kinds maybe every 30 seconds or so part of the screen will go "blocky" until the picture in the video changes and it clears.
This happens on music videos downloaded from Xtendamix and also files decoded with Handbrake.
Is it an issue with MX player or the tablet itself?
Same files play perfectly on my laptop and my Huawei P30 Pro.
Thanks

Hello, i have Yoga Smart Tab 10.1 (YT-X705F) with Snapdragon 439 and i have a problem i have never seen before.
I just restored the tablet to factory settings. Logged in with my account, updated youtube app. When i open any video with youtube app and set the quality to 1080p60fps, it tries to change it and then it changes back to 480p and i dont see the 720p60fps and 1080p60fps options in youtube app anymore. When i close the video and start it again, i see them again. 720p60fps option does work.
I tried playing video in chrome and firefox youtube player, 1080p60fps works, but its very choppy and slow. I have been having a lot of weird bugs with 60fps videos. For example some videos hosted on my NAS stream OK using my plex app, but some only in plex webpage player, some none at all. I have various android and ios devices at home and havent see this problem ever before. All my media problems seems to be linked to missing/bad 60fps video support.
I have tried several 3rd party youtube apps with advanced settings (like yt vanced), but i cannot get the 1080p60fps to work properly. Same problem with VLC and other video players playing 60fps videos.
Thanks.
Well, so i will answer my question. Lenovo was able to confirm, that this device and chip really does not have 60fps support.

I checked this with our team and they were able to confirm that the Yoga Smart Tab appears not to support that video quality (60fps) feature when used on YouTube and other apps.
