Default app not being selected - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

I have selected MX Player Pro as the default app for video.
Unfortunately any file I select opens with the stock one instead.
Does anyone else have this issue or know of a solution?
My MIUI version is Global 9.6 | Stable 9.6.4.0 (OEDMIFD). This was the version that came with the phone.
Thank you.

Thanks but that's what I already did.
MX Player Pro shows as the default app for videos under these settings but the phone still starts them with the stock app.

Miui is very confusing indeed. I sometimes already have defaults set for certain apps, but it still asks me for defaults for those apps.

any error or?
App has been updated to version 4.15.
OP Edited.
I'm not impressed, like the Android Music Player better. Also no fuss player with slightly cleaner interface.
looks like the banding problem on the bg gradient has been fixed. excellent.
now all we need is an equalizer...

opening videos from stock gallery using 3rd party player

dont know if this has been asked before, but is it possible to do this?
anyone?
I don't think so.. Stock video player opens by default when a video is selected from gallery..
The only option I believe is rooting and changing default player..

how do you change the default player?
by changing do you mean changing from stock player to 3rd party player but, opened from stock gallery?

Umm.. I am sure you know about rooting.. I have rooted my HOX and removed the default player altogether..
I installed MX Player and it opens by default now since I do not have stock player..

Video Player

Hi All,
Does anyone Know how i can get Videos to play using MX Player?(or similar)
KitKat 4.4 doesnt seem to like other players and i cant even find the built in app?
It looks cheap and nasty saying plugins missing and just basic play and thats it
I've tried different browsers to no effect , they all just load into default?
or can't i use other players?:crying:

Try Chrome with MX. works fine for me - if it always goes to default, reset the defaults in the app settings.

Default video player I believe is hidden, does downloading MX not give you a prompt when trying to play a video? There should be a prompt like "play with" and the you can select "just once" or "always", then select MX player
If you've selected the default player to play it always, then a factory reset will help. Make sure you back everything up.
Seriously? Factory reset just to clear default apps is a bit extreme.
How about trying default reset apps such as:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager
Nexus 7 LTE
Stock rooted KOT49E

Alternatively :
If you use ES file Explorer you can long press a file, hit more/menu, go to "open as" select video, then select the installed program you want to use.

The current version of MX player worked fine on 4.4 but lost compatibility with 4.4.1 update. Im just waiting for the developers to release their update of MX, it will come soon Im sure.

Are you in the USA? I'm in the USA and the VLC program says it's not compatible with my Nexus 7 and it says it's not available in my country. I have Android 4.4.2.

Me too. The good thing mx player not working on 4.4.2 is forcing us to search better alternatives. Diceplayer is a good one. Samba server, ftp, stream, dts, audio booster etc. And no ads here.
Sorry my english.

Diceplayer has a nice Samba browser, but it won't play any of my .mkvs over my home network like MX would.

Have you tried using a libffmeg.so diceplayer compliant?

The reason the play store says it is not compatible is because it is blocked in many countries including the US. I read somewhere that it is a licensing issue.

[Q] change default music app?

I much prefer PowerAmp over the default samsung music app. Is there any way to make PA the default? I'd like to be able to say "Play Katy Perry" and have PA come up and not Music...
thx!

Well clear the default app. Go to settings-->application manager-->look for the default music app and click on it-->scroll down and click where it says "clear defaults"...use a file explorer and choose a song. Itll ask what player to use and choose poweramp..
there you go XD

Try uninstalling power amp then reinstalling it..go to your files and click on a song and then u should get the option window that allows you to use power amp for opening music files.

[Q] Music Notifications aren't interactive

Using the latest WW firmware, when using Power Amp and Spotify, the notification has the ability to skip songs, and play/pause. There is also a spot of close out of the app and stop music.
The issue I am having is that I can't use any of those buttons. All I can do is press the notification, which brings up the full app. Clicking any of the notification buttons doesn't do anything at all.
It happens on both lock screen, and when phone is unlocked.
Anyone experiencing this and/or know of a solution?
Does anyone think a factory reset would help? Or is it something I should return it over?
I think, no because i have a fresh install with full wipe. Have the same problem with Google Music Player and to remove the Earphone Icon in statusbar when i stop play music, i must wish it out many times before it doenst come back.
I have the same issue even the widget at the home screen and lockscren don't work
So it seems to be a bug then. Hoping they get it fixed soon!
Same problem here. Been thinking it might be the Asus Launcher and may try Google Launcher later tonight to see if it fixes it.
On the latest WW firmware rooted and I have not problems with the notification or lock screen widgets with Poweramp or Pandora.
got he same with spotify, but not with tha asus app music
For people with this issue, did you buy the TW version and have the update to the WW version? Maybe that is causing the issue?
I'm getting the same problem with MX Player... CN model with WW firmware
Also I noticed that the pre-installed music application works well, why the rest not?
Huh, just noticed that, too! Asus Music app notifications work perfectly....
So it must be a bug with only 3rd party music apps?

Probably must be something missing in the third party softwares that the Asus app has... The question is: what it could be?
Got around to testing it now. Google Launcher will cause the same problem for apps like Music Folder. Soundcloud does however seem to be working fine for whatever reason.

Which version did you buy? CN, TW, WW, or US?
I have the TW version that was auto-updated to WW out of the box (as most people's were). So maybe that's the issue

US meaning WW? What does Google Play music display? Is the app not working or just music notifications?

WW build. I don't have any in the app, but the notification doesn't work for Google Play Music. It updates to the song playing, but the controls do nothing.
