    cannot get a refund.

    • rake on 02/05/2017 - 14:45

      You can if you bought it only yesterday. Open the app in play store, you should see two buttons. OPEN and Refund

        This one said refund only if within 2 hours of install…it is only $0.20 so maybe $7 will allow longer??

        • Mancandy on 03/05/2017 - 14:00

          As soon as I saw this post, I tried to get a refund on my purchase.
          I saw the refund option as soon as I purchased it, but it was no longer there.
          my options were to open or un-install instead of open/refund.

          It took me over a year of Google Surveys to make that $7..

          @Mancandy: Good luck on the refund, thanks for the reminder about Google Rewards, made me realise I hadn't gotten any since I factory reset a while ago!

      As per Google's refund policy you can request a refund within 48 hours.
      The turn around is usually very quick for a response (within the hour). I've never not been refunded.
      If however 48 hours is up, you can claim an "unauthorized charge refund". Just mention that you accidentally made the purchase, or child did so. Again, questions are never asked from my experience.

          I hope you're right. This has been bugging me lately, most of the things I watch have AC3 audio so I've had to resort to MPC which is pretty damn good in its own right, though I still prefer MX Player Pro.

          I bought this for ~$7 years ago, I think 1 of only 2 apps I've ever happily paid full price for. Well $7 of my google survey money anyway, didn't cost me a cent :)

        • sane on 03/05/2017 - 08:52

          @Click_It:

          Just had a look at my old (so no intrusive ads) non-pro version, which pops up "AC-3 supported in v1.8.17, GET IT now and play all audio formats with no effort".

          So provided you have that version, it should be OK.

          VLC is not as stable. Their code needs a bit of work, and feature-wise MX player has VLC beat.

          Happily using this app for years… Couldn't pass the Pro at this price
          Gestures for volume, brightness and fwd/rwd alone gets me going back to MX every time. Had to download AC3 codecs in the past but that was a minor hassle.

          @qube: Yeah, I've never found a torren… er, video, that doesn't play fine in VLC. It has the same hidden on-screen controls people are mentioning here (volume, brightness, fwd/rwd). Also something people may not be aware of, if you have VLC installed on a computer for example, playing on the computer screen, on TV… You can set up VLC installed on your phone, to remote-control all that stuff from the computer.

          Not sure why scrolling back/forward in subtitles is desirable… Maybe they're saying you move fwd/rwd through subtitles while the video continues to play. If so, not sure if VLC does that or not - but I'd rather have both in sync by just pressing the rwd button.

      MX is better IMO. I tried to use VLC on Android a few times when the ads on MX started to get out of control, but VLC always seems to have stability issues with the occasional crash.

      If you have better luck with VLC then use that instead, otherwise 20 cents is not much for what is arguably the best media player for android (without the ads).

        Mx player just looks more clearer on my phone and alot louder with the volume booster.

    What do you use as decoder in MX? HW or SW?

    • scrimshaw on 02/05/2017 - 14:50
      +1

      either works.

      H/W will lead to glitches and artifacting or audio-desync if your hardware is not powerful enough to decode the format, or if your H/W doesn't support that specific format, you will only hear but not see anything (a green screen). If that occurs you use S/W.

      If you have a fast processor, you can use S/W. It might mean more battery usage, as it's a slower less efficient method than H/W decode but it is more flexible (more compatible).

    • atlas on 02/05/2017 - 14:51

      For my S8, HW+ works well.

    Great player, I tried all the popular ones like BS Player and ended up paying for this a few months ago. No regrets.

    Uses very little battery, has brightness and volume control built into the playing screen; you just need to slide your finger up and down the screen on the left or right side. Great subtitle support, you can slide subtitles back and forth to skip scenes.

    Needed to get the AC3/DTS codec as a few videos had no sound but that wasn't difficult.

    Honestly, get this if you watch videos on your tablet or phone outside of the YouTube app.

    For iOS I bought Infuse after the free trial for $19.99. Quite expensive but it constantly blows me away…. the ability to download a video over the network to local storage is just about the best thing ever. I know it's quite possible on android too but man! It's the seamless way it lets you do it! It keeps track of which shows you watched and everything. 10/10

    I see it as $0.20 but when I try to buy it, it comes to USD $5.99. Any idea why?

    $0.20 why not as I use the free version.

      It uses up data bandwidth and extra battery power to serve those ads to you. Not to mention they are intrusive.

        $0.20? … Why not? … I use the free version after all and am happy to give some support
