Change default video player to MX in Android TV - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

Hello All,
I have a TCL iFfalcon Android certified TV. The default video player works almost perfect all the time. However, the default player could not load subtitles while playing from DLNA using UMS or BubbleUPnP. So I would like to load these videos in the MX Player app which I installed from Play Store. However I could not find any way to do this. I have tried all methods like resetting app preference etc.
Any help is highly appreciated.

video player on galaxy W?

just want to know what the video player capable of it's mkv can be played on W?i also play some AVI format on resolution video some play smooth some can't play at all how to improve it?
Hello, you could try using MX Video Player from the market, and also install MX Player Codec.
I've enjoyed many anime in MKV and AVI formats and so far it works fine for me
hi,
i highly recommend QQplayer..no adds, no instalation of additional files..just install the app and your good to go..very user friendly..also comes with gesture options..so if you want to increase volume(swype up, swype down for lowering)etc..
you can get it on MARKET(FREE)

I prefer the MX player of google market
had many codecs to all the kinds of media and dont requires all acess to your device.
There are so many free players on google that free but when you install you give the permission to acess your personal data, personal information, gps location and much other permissions that i cant understood why they need all this information and how they will use this
How about winamp?? its good or what?? jehehe
Nothing can beat MX Player as the best video player of Android.

[Q] Player for Blu ray rip MKVs

Hello everyone, i have Blu ray rip mkv (from 20-40gb each mkv) in my usb hdd, when i play it on my Galaxy note 2 the video runs fine but without audio and when the video starts a msg appear at the bottom says something about only video is playing. I have MX player pro, PlayerPro, Real Player and i tried on all of them and on defualt video player as well. The funny thing is the tv series episodes like vampire diaries, mentalist, big bang theory i download in 720p rip mkv(from 900mb to 1.5gb) it runs perfectly. Is there some sort of codecs i need for the audio in Blu ray rips i'm trying to play or some other player.
I'll be very grateful for help.

try bsplayer.
I tried all the apps you mentioned with no luck. Bsplayer can play everything i got in my video library.
ok I will, Thanks.
I use dice player. It's played anything I've thrown at it so far and it has a pop up feature as well.
With MX Player Pro try going into settings and changing it from H/W to S/W.. That's what I use and everything I watched plays just fine
bs player handsdown. i tried them all, non of them would play DTS audio mkv file except bs player. unfortunately, stock samsung has better video quality but no sound lol
Actually the stock player should be able to handle them.
I have mx player installed and bs player also.
One thing that bs player has that others don't, playing videos over a Windows share. You can play music videos back to back without needing to select the next song.

Both myself and my brother have played mkv files on our devices with no issues. I have the note II and he has an s III .... not sure what the issue is you are having but I don't think it is the video player... I use stock, so does he.
+1 for BSPlayer, also consider Archos with the additional Codec Add-on
I've found that on my version of the Note II, MXPlayer Pro, the default Video Player, IMToo, all did not work because of the lack of an AC3 codec.
The ones that worked were:
- Archos Video Player (with the Codec Add-On installed)
- BSPlayer
- VLC, however does not play .m4v files
- XBMC, however lags on playback
In the end it was between Archos and BSPlayer. The Archos Player has a better UI along with the ability to bookmark within the video. BSPlayer has the capability of resizing the video to any size, and locking the aspect ratio on-screen. It also connects to opensubs.org to download external subs on the fly, if needed.
Being an XBMC / OpenELEC user, since I'm comfortable with the interface and the plug-in system, I'm hoping that it will be optimized for Android in the future. When that day comes, I will switch back to XBMC. But for now, I flip back between Archos and BS Player.
Thanks for your help guys, my problem is solved

Watch an MKV with embeded subtitles through allshare cast dongle

Hello, just have a doubt here that's kind of bugging me and haven't been able to figure it out.
I bought an allshare cast dongle and discovered the painful process that it is to get it to work with a custom rom.
After a long process and different methods I finaly got it to work and I am quite happy with the device, however, I have a bunch of mkv's with subtitles and whenever I play the file through mx video player, the video looks and sounds fine on the tv but the subtitles show up in the phone.
Other than hardcoding those subs into the file before playing it, I can't come up with a solution.
I also tried rockplayer but that doesn't even play the subs at all.
Do you guys have any video player recomendations that will play both the mkv and the embeded subs in the tv through the dongle?
Thanks in advance.
try enabling hardware decoding for subtitles, it's in the MX player settings.

vlc question

hi I have a fire tv that I just rooted this morning, I sideloaded the vlc app onto it but controlling it with the fire tv remote is extremely limited. I tried the mxplayer which didnt have a limited control problem but it needed a codec for full file support(which i know isnt hard to get but i liked the vlc interface better).
so Is there any fix to get the full controls on the vlc player? or maybe another recommended media player that would work well for local file playback (besides through xmbc)?

Cannot use other video players

I noticed today after trying to do some samba sharing with my desktop that when I would go to watch the video I was unable to use anything other than the default android Video Player. Just so you all know: Yes I have other video players installed, also Yes I have gone into app settings and removed all default apps from being default. After doing all of that I still do not see any other of my video players when I go to watch any of these videos. Thank you all for any help you may have.
