Configuring MX Player. Video does not go on android Where is the cache in the mx player

Watching a movie is an ordinary activity, and when, after updating your favorite player on Android, the sound disappears in the movies, you have to deal with the problem. This material is necessary not only to solve the problem on smartphones, but also on tablets, smart TVs and even computers running Android.

Until recently, this problem was solved only in one available way, now, you can restore the sound during movie playback in two ways. The first method is much simpler, but unfortunately, it does not always work.

Most often, the error "AC3 is not supported" is observed with the MX player. MX Player is a high-quality and powerful video player for smartphones running Android OS, which can be downloaded for free on the official website. Became popular due to a lot of features, which includes:

• Hardware decoding. It allows you to play a huge number of video formats.
• Adjusts the picture size while watching a video.
• Convenient control and setting of subtitles.
• The Smart Lock feature prevents other applications from launching while browsing.
• Support for the most common audio formats.

Causes of malfunction

Some time ago, after the next update, MX player stopped supporting some codecs, as well as some other players, which is why the sound in AC3 format stopped playing. This is due to the fact that the AC3, DTS and MLP codecs can no longer be used for free by the developers of J2 Interactive, for the reason licensing changes.

For a certain period of time I had to search and download the AC3 codec for Android on third-party sites. And although it was easy to deal with this, the likelihood of getting to an infected or just malicious site was high. But now it is absolutely safe, and you can also download the required element for free right inGoogle Play.

How to check for codecs

You can find out which codecs are already installed on a device running on Android in the MX player settings. This requires go to options(top right, three dots) and select "Settings" there. All installed codecs will be displayed in one list. If no additional components were installed before, only standard, pre-installed elements will be displayed there.

Solution

Now let's move on to the very procedure for restoring sound on MX Player. In the first case, which we will now consider, you only need a smartphone.

To determine the required codec, you will have to check in the settings CPU name... In the MX player, go to Options - Settings - Decoder - Custom codec (located at the very bottom of the list). The CPU type will be written there.

In our case, this is an ARMv7 NEON CPU.

Going to Google Play, enter the name of the CPU type that you found in the settings and open the page with the application.

After installing the ac3 codec for MX Player, launch the program, then restart the player and enjoy the result.

Most often, no additional action is required from the user; all parameter changes and installation take place in automatic mode.

Alternative way to solve the problem

If for some reason the installation according to the instructions from the first method failed, and the error “this ac3 audio format is not supported” still occurs, there is another way to resolve the situation. In our case, the phone refused to carry out the installation without explaining the reasons, this happens, although rarely. Therefore, it will continue to work with a computer.

Knowing the name of the CPU type, you should go to forum.xda-developers.com.

Find and download there is the desired file. To do this, click on it and in a new window click on the green button that appears.

The downloaded file is thrown into any folder on Android. You don't need to unzip anything.

Launching the player most often launches automatic installation of codecs, but sometimes a request from the application for permission is possible. Click OK and reload the application.

It is extremely rare, but it happens that you have to recognize the decoder manually. To do this, again in the player, you will need to go along the path Options - Settings - Decoder. And click on the line " Custom codec».

Select the path to the downloaded file.

And the player itself will install and make the necessary changes to the application.

MX Player is the first of its kind Android video player to perform multi-core decoding. In tests on dual-core devices, it showed up to 70% performance improvement over single-core decoding.

The application, in fact, is the exact opposite of KMPlayer, since it received not only flexible settings, but also a bunch of plugins, add-ons and separately downloadable codecs. If you want, you can even configure the perfect video player, but uninformed people will have to sweat and crawl through the forums.

Peculiarities:

• Processor Optimized - contains codecs and rendering engines optimized for processors, including ARM Neon and Nvidia Tegra 2;
• Multi-core decoding;
• Clear text - increase the readability of subtitles by adjusting borders and shadows;
• Scrolling subtitles - quickly move between subtitle texts and change their position;
• Four options for displaying video on the screen: original scale, fill, stretch and crop;
• Scaling with your fingers;
• Smart Lock - Don't worry about accidental calls or other apps launching (plugin required).

Of course, smartphone manufacturers are trying to do everything to ensure that all functions are accessible and convenient to the end user, and work out of the box. But on the Internet, you can often find questions like "how to watch a movie on android" or "the movie does not play / slows down on android". Third-party "omnivorous" players come to our aid, and they are rightfully considered the best. Let's take a closer look at the settings and how to work with it.

MX Player Settings Menu

• Network Stream - a function that serves to play a video stream from the Internet. You just need to provide a link to the video file, and enjoy watching;
• Editing - management of the list of video files, it is possible to delete and rename
• Help- in this submenu item, you can find out what changes have occurred in the program with the last change, read its features, find out answers to frequently asked questions, check for updates, send a bug report, and find out how to contact the author. In general, nothing interesting.

Well, let's move on to perhaps the most interesting part, this is actually the very setup of the player.

In the submenu " List“There are settings for the appearance of the video list. Of the pre-installed themes, only light and dark are given to choose from, which is understandable, we still have to watch the video, and not the beauty of the application. For convenience, you can check the boxes next to the grouping by lists, and if there are too many files, it is recommended to disable thumbnails. If MX Player does not find a movie / video, you need to specify all the folders for scanning, and check the box next to "take into account.nomedia", then everything will be found successfully.

We all love individuality, and we demand different things from programs, and in order to customize it for yourself, go to the submenu " Player". There are a huge number of items, it's just a paradise for those who like to customize everything for themselves, so we carefully read it and put everything as our heart desires.

"MX Player does not play video"- the solution to this problem is in the paragraph " Decoder«

Put a tick opposite Hardware decoder, check if mx player failed to play the video, then put a checkmark in front of Software decoder, or trying to install a custom codec. ... If the video freezes, then we try to increase the CPU limit. In any case, after playing with the change of the codec, the video should be played.
Mx Player does not play sound ac3 Sound is configured in the menu « Audio“If there is no sound, then you need to change the decoder. Subtitles are configured in a special submenu, where you can select their font, color, and style. If they are displayed incorrectly, then change the encoding.
Well, the last menu, " The main"Where you can select the language, activate the button output and clear the cache / history of the app. Happy viewing!
