Originally developed by J2 Interactive in South Korea, MX Player quickly became one of the most downloaded media players on Google Play.

In 2018, Times Internet acquired a majority stake and transformed it into a streaming platform - and Amazon has officially acquired MX Player, expanding the app's reach even further.

Why Choose MX Player?

Gesture Controls - Swipe left or right to seek, swipe up on the left side to adjust brightness, swipe up on the right to control volume.

Once you get used to these controls, every other player feels clunky.

Hardware Acceleration - MX Player uses your device's GPU for video decoding, resulting in smoother playback and significantly better battery life compared to software decoding.

Subtitle Support - Load external subtitle files in SRT, ASS, SSA, and SUB formats. Adjust timing, font size, and color directly within the player.

For movies with embedded subtitles, MX Player extracts and displays them automatically.

Kids Lock - Hand your phone to your child without worrying they'll exit the video or mess with your settings. The lock feature disables all touch controls until you unlock it.

Fix EAC3 and DTS Audio Issues

Getting "EAC3 audio not supported" or "DTS codec missing" errors? The default MX Player installation doesn't include licensed codecs for these formats. The solution is simple - install the MX Player Custom Codec.

The custom codec adds support for:

EAC3 (Dolby Digital Plus)
DTS and DTS-HD
AC3 (Dolby Digital)
MLP and TrueHD

Important: MX Player 2.x requires specific codec versions. If you're having trouble, read Get Your Custom Codecs Working Again with MX Player for the latest compatibility information.

VLC for Android comes with all codecs built-in and never shows "format not supported" errors. It's the better choice if you want zero configuration. However, MX Player's gesture controls and streaming content give it an edge for users who want an all-in-one entertainment app.

Kodi for Android transforms your device into a complete media center with library management and add-ons. It's overkill for simple video playback but unmatched for organizing large media collections.

For users who prefer desktop-style players, BSPlayer for Android offers similar format support with automatic subtitle downloading from online databases.
