What is it.
:neutral_face:

I have absolutely no idea what this is, what it does or why I need it but have followed the HUKD ethos and bought it anyway...like a lot of my HUKD purchases I'm absolutely sure I'll use it at some point but thankfully this won't take up any cupboard space while I try to find a purpose for it to justify having bought it in the first place....unlike the other piles of junk I've gathered courtesy of HUKD :confused:

Hope you realise Buzz if I'm not entirely satisfied with my spur of the moment purchase I'll be expecting you to refund my 10p :stuck_out_tongue:

playing videos?

Bargain! Have some heat!

Thanks. Just bought that. :smiley:

Wonderful. Gift for my Nvidia shield tv. Thanks op

great find

Probably worth it for this
"b) MULTI-CORE DECODING - MX Player is the first Android video player which supports multi-core decoding. Test result proved that dual-core device's performance is up to 70% better than single-core devices."
I have been using the android version of VLC which apparently does not.

Red Hot! My go to player...

Heat Op!

WOW! Thanks Buzz! Never thought I'd see this app go down to this price! Unless it has been this cheap before and I missed it! :laughing: But great app and the best video player I have used! :innocent:

I have been waiting for this!

Great app. Apart from floating window/pop out, it does it all.

nice one! had this on my wishlist for moons seems to be the only video player that plays everything i throw at it. Even works on Android TV slight display issue though.

Bought. Thanks.:wink:

Purchased thanks OP

simply the best!! ! cheers. been waiting for this for ages

thank you Buzz, purchased and voted hot

same on pc. media player classic home cinema uses hardware decoding on atom and old m11x laptop but vlc doesn't. so alas I have temporarily dropped vlc until they adapt tp hardware decoding

Ordered

Thanks, ordered.

What is it.
:neutral_face:

heaaaat, just in time for my android TV, cheers op

Still showing at full price in Ireland Google Play. €6.20 :disappointed:

Anyone know if this supports casting? Using VLC at the moment

Thanks kindly OP, I've used the free version for years so 10p well spent to get rid of the adds (which to be fair, aren't too excessive).

Great Deal, purchased, thank you.

Thanks :wink:

Brilliant app. It's what VLC is to Windows. Just waiting for Bubble uPNP to be reduced next and then I'll be a very happy man.

Have ALL the heat!

Heat added but will stick with VLC as I do not use subtitles :smiley:

Used to love this app until the were forced to remove the ac3 codec. Been using VLC Player ever since. Anyone know if they managed to get the licence to use ac3 in the end?

Heat added anyway as it's a great deal.

Good deal, bought with google rewards, so effectively free! Thanks :smiley:

at long last, this is coming to this price after such a long wait. good find op

nice find

Thanks for the post. Being able to fast forward, remind and turn the volume up and down with a touch screen is a great feature. And without ads for 10p is brilliant!

I bought it at full price a while ago.

They have done so much development over the years imo its worth paying for their efforts.
I've used it on many phones and devices now.

And tbh, at full price; it's a pint of beer to the team for their efforts. <3

No more ads :smiley:

Can someone please explain, in simple language, what this is useful for?

Will this run on 4.4.2 does anyone know? Can't seem to see it mentioned on the site.

Never thought this was worth the £4+ so I have been holding off for a sale, thanks OP.

Been using the free one for year.


Have just paid and downloaded.

Thanks.

fantastic - finally purchased it :smiley:

When does it dispatch?

Awesome , Been waiting for what seems like forever until a good deal on this .

Apart from the hardware acceleration benefits over VLC mentioned on the previous page, what else is worth using this over that other player? I don't think most people would even need the extras, would they? Genuinely interested.

Does this have DLNA casting capability, for instance?

Heat given but have used VLC for a very long time and has done everything I have asked for it.
Decisions decisions .. Thanks allot Buzz.

Does anyone know if i can stream a video with subtitles to an android tv with chromecast using this? Been struggling to find a way of doing it.

Thank you OP!

This is a no brainer for me. I;ve been using the app (free version) for years and the pro version for 10p has made my day.

I use VLC too, it works perfectly well for me. I even disable all the annoying swipe gestures because I don't think they're needed and I think their more of a hindrance than anything... although they seem to be a big selling point of MX Player on the store page.

Yes. The patents are over now. AC3 works.

Can this play DVD rips from IFO/VOB files with the DVD menus? Trying to find a player for my M8S Android box that can do thus without jerky frame issues (I haven't managed to get KODI and VLC to play back rips from my own collection without jerky stuttering, although they do open the rips with the menus)?

Does this decode AC3 as I recall one of these players was missing this? Great deal at 10p though.

It does decode AC3 natively now.

In the past, AC3 support was removed from most media players because of a licencing/patent problem. It was only a minor inconvenience though because all you had to do was download a free custom codec and MX Player had full support again.

I don't think it's a media sever, if that's what you mean.
Multicore decoding, apparently, it's the only one doing that?
I really don't like any form of gesture control. I always forget which one does what.
VLC is striaighforward in that respect. Works with subtitles etc.
But for ten p worth trying anyway?

best 10p spent ever. thanks very much.

Always use the basic mx player for video playback, not sure what the pro adds but for 10p, I'm just getting it. <3

Heat added, think I've been using the free version for over 5 years, always meant to get around to buying the pro version because it would be worth it.

I've been using the free version for a while. Great price for the pro version.

10p? It would be rude not too! Thanks OP. UBER HOT.....

Anyone have any idea how I fix this issue?

When I first signed up for Google Rewards, I was in the USA on holiday. Since then, I get rewarded in dollars. So now I have a bunch of dollars in my account.

I don't live there, I have changed all my Google addresses and cards to the UK, yet whenever I try and buy anything from the Play store, it charges me in Dollars. So I can't take advantage of offers like this as I still get the USA price. Still happens even if I choose my UK debit card.

Any ideas would be great!

The adds are no ads :laughing:

Thanks to Buzz The King of Hotukdeals !!

BARGAIN!

Been using the free version for years and it's great, is the pro version really going to be so much better?

Hot from me, thanks for posting


I like it as the player seems to play all formats I've ever needed to play.

When streaming large files from a media pc over a network it seems to start playing the files much quicker than other browsers.

I also really like the touch controls for forward/rewind, brightness up/down, volume up/down, zoom/pan and playback speed and the fact that you can enable or disable them individually if you want to.

Just to note,

the pro version is : 1.8.16 - last updated feb 14,
and free version is : 1.8.20 - last updated apr 28.

So it seems like they've abandoned the pro version.

Been waiting ages for this. Thank you.

HOT :laughing::laughing:
thanks!

or get it for free using blackmart

It's the VLC of android. (Yes, I know it's paid and VLC does exist for android but it's nowhere near as good).

Yes, you need to enable in the setting page

I'll pass. I use a firewall to block the free version free the internet, so no ads.
10p saved :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice find, again, like many, I've been using the free one for ages so have upgraded to pro.

Fanks.

Next day if you're a Google Prime customer. It comes pacakged in a 1m cube cardboard box though.

Not necessarily true. It could be that new features from the pro version is being added to the free version.

meff

Or they fixed a bug/changed settings that only impact free users. Any changes relating to advertising won't need to be done to the Pro version, because it has no advertising-related code. I assume, anyway.

So the only difference between this and free version is no ads?

I really can't remember seeing any ads on the free version and Ive been using it for ages.

I still get an ad

In the folders section - the first line is an ad. Should that be there?

Then thank the developers by bunging them a mere 10p. It's nothing to you but a few hundred thousand of those 10p's will add up to a decent wage for them.

Or support the developer, you scrounge

Top Find....Bought!

Worth it to stop ads

They've just updated the pro version anyway.

Hope you didn't buy a Sony

Downloaded and does not play DVD rips correctly at all. Nevertheless, will keep it on my Android box for other files!

i think you need to uninstall your free version MD install the paid one

What can this do that VLC can't? I don't care about cores and acceleration. Vids work fine with it.

oh I didn't know that.. cheers.. was still downloading the codecs from XDA!

Can you play videos at double speed?

What about Youtube videos?

Thanks OP!

Best deal of the month! :stuck_out_tongue:

I don't think it plays youtube

This can make you a cup of tea. VLC can't

Top find pal. Let's keep the midnight oil burning :laughing:

I experienced the same issue a good 5 years back. Did the same thing, switched to MPC on low end devices to enable smooth 1080p playback.

I guess VLC are not interested in the slightest at supporting hardware acceleration.

Can't thank you enough :stuck_out_tongue:

Top find

Don't need it. Don't want it. Bought it.

Bought. Nice one op.

Haven't used this in a while, but used to be great for using with my Humax PVR, was the best player for playing .ts files straight from the Humax, (no converting required) used it for about five years with no issues

(Don't use my Humax anymore)

bought

ha. well I explained it to my son thst mxplayer has adverts... or money... vlc doesn't. so they have an incentive to innovate. not sure about mpc hc. i read forums suggesting they were using ffmpg? so maybe vlc doing their own codecs?

great thanks

i also think people with newer hardware would benefit vs using vlc by extending battery life.

h265 1080p still uses 25pc cpu on my xeon e5620 with radeon rx 470 for vlc but close to zero on mpc hc. so on a laptop that is extra battery life by saving on your cpu? ditto for phones.

my phones and tablets are old and need mxplayer for some hd files. vlc might work on newer but use cpu? i check with cooltools

The patent expired on the AC3 codec this year they updated the app instantly to re-add AC3 support.
It no longer requires downloading an external "Custom Codec"

For those not in the know, I have always considered this the most capable video player for local files on Android.

I'm a Plex and VLC user and still love this player.

They also provide a kids lock Plugin on the play store that let's you lock a playing video on the screen, stops little ones messing with tablets when they should be watching a film.

The heat is on...! :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks. i had ac3 problems on some files but maybe just need app update!

thanks. i had ac3 problems on some files but maybe just need app update!

free version ample

Purchased & will be used on at least 6 devices, cheers!!

hot hot hot! I use mx over about 5 devices so well worth it!
Thank you buzz

Bought, been my preferred android video player for a long time

Excellent :man:

hot for the deal

However, as an android media player I prefer ARCHOS VIDEO than MX Player.

Here you have the reason Android devs struggle to monetise vs iOS devs - people agonising over spending 10p FFS. I've been happily using VLC for ages but I've switched to this to give it a whirl. I have an Android TV too so it might come in handy some day.

Kenneth was killed too, maybe by this creature.

brought but I have no idea how it will help simple folk like me. :confused:

My pro version states 1.8.20 in the about section on my phone

hey! a little help anyone? when i go to the play store it shows as 10p, on sale, but when I purchase it charges me the full amount. :-S

The difference between the free and paid is ads. Some are either too kind or too strict. Needs to be some sort of middle ground without ads popping up all the time.

Been using this for years cracking app. Heat heat heat :smiley:

Wanted to buy this for 10p as my next phone might be an android but it won't let me buy it as it says I have no devices.

Yeah, they updated it a couple of hours ago, shows as 1.8.20, updated May 2 now.

Curious but what does "performance" mean in regards to playing a video?

im neither homeless, alcoholic not a tramp

Thanks :smiley:

Awesome app heat added bargain

Borrow a friend's old Android phone and log into it with your Gmail account.

So how do you get this to work with Kodi

Thanks for that Buzz!!!:sunglasses:

Thank you, purchased and heat added.

Brilliant find OP!! Been waiting for a discount, just downloaded! Have some heat!! <3<3<3

Great app! One of the first I download every time I get a new phone. Cheers OP.

Always used the free version of this, had no issues at all with it and the ads arent exactly intrusive. But i bought this one as well anyway.

Thanks for the heads up. Well worth it.

Fewer CPU cycles to obtain the same result; pretty much the same meaning as it has in every other application of computing.

That translates into the ability to decode higher bitrate media, or use less power for the same media.

Thank

Thank for info just bought it

Awesome deal, can't believe it's one of the 10p apps

You choose a compatible device when you order and it sends it straight to the device and installs. So, instant-like :smiley:

Use it all the time it's great for playing videos and it's android so have some heat.

Is this enabled by default then? If it isn't, I wonder why not.

Likely the best video player on andorid. Well worth the 4.30 asking price, so this is a no brainer

Getting my new phone delivered later this week and want to buy before it arrives. Any way I can do that without an android device?

Every time I click buy it seems to prevent me.

I use the free version of this app and it's excellent! Definitely worth the 10p!

(But then what app wouldn't be worth 10p?)

Still showing at full price in Taiwan Google Play. NT$ 180 :disappointed:

Best player, thanks

Absolutely love this player

Don't know exactly what it does but for £0.10, what the heck, plus I used Google credit I get for free (for surveys) - win win

But I can't get MX Player Pro to find my media players, the android version of VLC does that easily (unlike the MS Windows version)

you can use es file explorer to.find the files via file sharing and open with mx player

Been using this app for 5 years, never realised they had an ad-free version, can't say no for 10p!

Thanks, heat added. :sunglasses:

bought! fantastic app.. for a bargain.

I got this from aptiode for free but I'm willing to give 10p to support the developers of this excellent app.

What firewall m8? Really interested.

Same had this. Spent a while trying to fix it. Not a great solution, but the only thing I found and ended up doing was creating a uk google email too. So I'm now logged into both gmail accounts, and within google apps you can switch in 1 swipe in and a click. so i can buy it in either currency depending on offer (you can also do this in the rewards app depending on what currency you want to 'win'.
Has a small added benefit of receiving all the US deals too. Once the app is installed its the same app so doesnt matter where you bought it from (us/uk)

About time! Nice find

Great app, heat.

Thanks OP, heated and purchased :smile:

Ty ordered

excellent!! cheers!!

Obviously if it is useful then at 10p is a bargain, but I'm not sure what this does that VLC doesn't (for free).

It's been a long time since I last used it, so I don't know if it works the same now...but you could try bluestacks on a PC.

Thanks OP :smiley:

Does this do anything VLC player doesn't do?

Ive used the free version (have upgraded today) and use it with "ES File Explorer Pro" to play video on my phone that is stored in USB sticks in the back of my router. It streams 8gb 2hr movies perfectly.

There are codecs (if that is the right word) out there. I believe they are processor dependent, but searching for "1.8.6 armv7 neon", downloading on the phone restores AC3 and EAC3 sound for me. Just open the app and it find the zip file automatically.

Don't need but at 10p with all the hype, it had to be done.

By far the best android video player, mega bargain

Thanks OP

"b) MULTI-CORE DECODING - MX Player is the first Android video player which supports multi-core decoding. Test result proved that dual-core device's performance is up to 70% better than single-core devices."

AFAIK basically all phones, (and other android stuff) use hardware decoding for video, since its MUCH more efficient, so being able to use multiple cpu's isn't useful, unless the decoding hardware isn't working for some reason.

Download Raccoon, during the first run let it create a pseudo-device, the default will attach a SM-N920C/Galaxy Note 5 to your account. If you prefer you can download dummydroid and extract the build.prop from the rom of a phone you intend to get, but for most uses the default note 5 will be fine.

Once it is added to your account you will be able to buy MX player.

I was charged $5.99 by Paypal. I raised the case now

Thanks op
good deal, voted hot, and bought

Don't really know what the fuss is all about but for 2 Bob I'm in .

Nice find. Still my go to media player.

been waiting for this... thanks!!!

Thanks OP!

Thanks, OP.

been using the free version since my first android tablet all those years and would not use any other. feel bad just buying it for 10p as it is a very good app. thanks op :smiley:

Nice!
Use mx player every day on my commute and hate the ads.
Heat added.
Thanks op.

MX Player Pro.

Written in OP title.

Thank OP.

Purchased! HEAT!

However, when I got my first tablet in 2011 (Asus TF101 Transformer), MX played never seemed to work well for me (always had DTS audio codec problems IIRC). Hopefully its MXMP has morphed into something more stable/usable over the last few years, but for 10p, it doesn't matter either way I suppose.

In fact most of the media players at that time seemed to struggle when playing certain MKVs.

The only media player that I came across that seemed to work without issue was 'Archos Video Player' with the free'All Codecs For Archos Video' codec package.

Ironically, despite Archos being THE personal media player manufacturer not long before tablets as we know them hit the market, they never seemed to get a good enough foothold in the tablet market. The only actual Archos android tablets I ever tried were pretty poor, which was a shame as they kinda set the ball rolling so to speak.

Yes, this is a bargain buy.

research playercore setting in kodi, and this will can be what kodi plays through, useful if kodi is struggling

If you watch a lot of video on your phone you'll eventually come across some that don't work because of the format. This app has played every video I've thrown at it. It's great if you're the kind of person that watches full movies on your phone.

so basically a free fiver worth of app gets over 3k red hot votes? I really need to get out more...

What this deal proves is how utterly annoying everything on the internet has become with more and more invasive advertisements. I'm glad to remove the add during the pause screens for a bargain.

Bought this last year around this time for only 10p (before it then went up to huuuuuugggggggge amounts of £'s!), lol.

Oh yeh, I remember hearing something similar to that last year?.

Thanx for the timely reminder though. :-)

While weighing up the pros and cons of this vs VLC I realised it only costs 10p of Google Reward credit anyway - effectively free and might come in handy at some point in the future

In Australia, if I'm not signed in it says $0.20, click on buy and sign in, then the price shows $5.99
Whats going on here Google!? Bait at a low price and then jack it up at checkout, isn't that against the law?

fill ya boots

I have absolutely no idea what this is, what it does or why I need it but have followed the HUKD ethos and bought it anyway...like a lot of my HUKD purchases I'm absolutely sure I'll use it at some point but thankfully this won't take up any cupboard space while I try to find a purpose for it to justify having bought it in the first place....unlike the other piles of junk I've gathered courtesy of HUKD :confused:

Hope you realise Buzz if I'm not entirely satisfied with my spur of the moment purchase I'll be expecting you to refund my 10p :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes it's back - http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/04/12/mx-player-adds-back-ac-3-codec-support-last-dolby-digital-patent-expired/

no brainer at ten pee you little hottie... nice find op <3

Thanks (And thanks to everyone who confirmed it was back in). I still went ahead and purchased it anyway, great little app.

Err, you can do that with numerous other video player apps....

That's the thing. It might have all the same features as VLC but me more reliable. People won't know unless they try, and who is going to miss 10p?

That's because Archos isn't Archos anymore. They were a French company I believe. They are now just some generic label like Polaroid.

what even is it?

what is it? :disappointed:

Plays all kinds of videos, while it toasts your bread & does the ironing (ok, I made up the last two).

WTF?! 10p for MX Player Pro? FIRE...!

I have no idea what it does but at that price I've just bought it.

Clearly I have more money than sense lol

Edit: Doesn't do anything special my S7 Edge didn't do before anyway. Disappointed :disappointed:

If you paid £5 for it (more than it normally goes for) then yes, I'd agree with that.

I've used MX player for years and it's fantastic at playing different types of video even HEVC/x265 encoded files. It's a great app and I'd definitely pay 10p for the Pro version. Heat!

I paid 10p and I fear I have paid too much. It doesn't do anything my S7 Edge doesn't already do :smiley:

Yes u definitely can! this was the main reason I use mx. You can open subs direct from subtitle.org in the app and also upload ur own.

Amazing app hot hot hot!

It does

Really depends what you need it for. if your looking for amazing subtitle support (eg choose where u want sub placement and font size also syncs with subtitles.org), watch and cast torrents files seamlessly all with the ability to lock the screen in app (for little fingers) then this is the one :wink:

Yep loads

Easily worth 50 x that amount

It plays videos better than VLC and with a much lighter, less bloaty and more polished footprint. VLC has more features but I just want to play videos and I've yet to find a video file format that MX player can't play .

Lol think u replied to the wrong comment!

Not sure that I'd ever use it but bought anyway for 10p! Thanks OP. :laughing:

I've nearly bought it at full price but saw reviews that mentioned it had been on sale for 10p so I held off. They must do it for a reason but they lost my full price sale because of these discounts. It devalues the software imo.
Great video player though, especially now the AC3 issues is sorted.

Cheers Buzzduraband

I was gonna buy this at full price the other day just to get rid of the adverts on the free one. Glad I forgot all about it and stumbled upon the 10p sale :smiley:

I've kept the forward/backward swipe gesture but disabled volume, zoom, brightness, etc as they were so annoying.

Do not need it, will never use it.. bought. Thanks OP.

no idea why this is so hot, there isn't even a Chromecast option!

Yes there is I share it to my chromecast all the time.

When was the last time you tried VLC? I use it on fairly old devices and it works flawlessly for watching files off a media server.
For 10p I will probably check it out anyway but VLC isn't particularly bloaty and it's open source.

Thanks for posting this, been using the free one for ages. Not sure whether it is better than the latest VLC (haven't tested it yet) bit can't complain for 10p!

Yes that annoyed me too. There's a way around it that involves simply downloading the codec online and pointing MX Player to its location on your device.

However, I read recently that they have resolved this copyright dispute, so it should support ac3 again now.

Patents expired.

thanks

Me too. I don't really watch stuff on my phone but at 10p I had to buy it.

What a bargain!

I love this app.

There was some rarity MX player wouldn't play so I switched to VLC but at 10p nobody should question whether to get it. Amazed by the deliberation.

Best player on the play store hands down.

heat. use the free version so for 10p may as well have it

Thanks Op :smiley:

One of the best. 10p is a steal. Heat

Anyone figured out how how to cast via the matrix TV app using this?

ok bought on principle because ive used for years, but what actually is the difference over free version? my devices are adblocked anyway, yes i'm bad i know ;0

No ads that's it.

Works out free if you use Google Opinion Rewards!

Best Android media player bar none, love it and its a steal at 10p.

Vlc player better.

The patent related to the AC3 issue expired a few weeks ago. So now you don't even need a custom codec or any other patch to get it working :smiley:

Crashes all the time for me and "Open As" doesn't seem available in Solid Explorer. It is with MX.

says £4.30 for me :disappointed:

It did last a week. It's over now.

just came back to say a BIG THANKS op :P got this for 10p thinking id never use it, turns out its great at opening an iptv service i was gifted :smiley: thanks buzz glad i took the risk and spent 10p of my rewards cash lol :P

I look at HUKD every day, why am I only seeing this now!? ffs
