Replace HiMedia Player with MX Player completely

[Mount81]

Hello!

Have here anyone tried MX Player for DVD playback?! I would have a few questions:

Does it playback DVD iso and extracted TS folders/.vob files as well?! Does it have correct fps switching for 25fps->50Hz and 30fps->60Hz DVDs?! Does it have correct deinterlacing for these interlaced DVDs?! You can check the fps switching on your TV's info and the deinterlacing by the PQ: if it's not correctly deinterlaced than it would have some PQ degrading "comby and rough edges" effect specially on the moving objects.

Thanks for the replies!

MX Player is not capable to play DVDs with Menu at all.

I bought MX player and its a bad choice. If they only could implement some new features on Himedias player i would be content!

Why didn't you tried the free version if it's suits your needs before you bought it?
MX Player is an android player not specifically designed to/for Himedia but what feature do you miss?

So MXPlayer will not work on local network content unless a auto mount patch is used? and in that case, wouldn't a complete re-scan of the library be required?

This resurrected thread is 2 years old!  There have been many firmware versions released since the last (dated) post. 
The built-in MediaCenter player has also been updated and bug fixed a few times in the last 2 years (and it does not need Kodi for it to work).  I'd certainly recommend using that first, before any other Android software players that are not optimised for the Q10/Q5 chip.

Rescan what library, KODI? If yes, than I guess so.

I would like to migrate my Library from SMB to NFS share (all the same, even the folders name), but I guess it's impossible without a rescan. 

For auto mount patch:  I didn't tried, but I guess you don't need to patch it. In the case of NFS Shortcuts you make in Media Center the main folder is automatically mounted to mnt/nfsShare/nfs_share0, wheres the number on the end may wary by the order you created the Shortcuts. And if you named the Shortcut's folder like "Videos" than the full path would be:  mnt/nfsShare/nfs_share0/Videos. You can't browse that in with KODI, so you must enter manually.  I guess its quite the same in the case of SMB, dig it up with a File Explorer how that folder's being named (I would guess smbShare/smb_Share0, 1, 2, etc...).

Hello!

I'm on the run to use MX Player only for 576 and under resolution videos. I have tried with a mod of playercorefactory, but it ins't working at all, see as bellow:

Code: [Select]

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<!-- himedia player for video -->
<player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
</player>

<player name="MXPlayerFree" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad</filename>
    <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
    <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
  </player
</players>

<rules action="prepend">

<rule filetypes="iso|bdmv|mpls|m2ts" player="Wrapper"/>
<rule video="true"  player="Wrapper"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
What am I missing here, any advice for correction?

Thanks!

Hi I tried to replace the script playercorefactory.xml with that of the first post related to MXPlayer free, but it always starts the Kodi player.
Where am I wrong?
I installed the latest version of MX Player 1.11.6
Thank you
