The Android operating system at an early stage of existence could not boast the quality of the built-in software: inserted into the clean system of the application, in particular video players, the capabilities did not shine. Third-party developers came to help users - just a few years ago, the MX Player video player was recommended to install immediately after buying a new device. Now the situation is better: embedded applications have reached the desired level. But the development of MX Player also continues - let's find out what this program can surprise now.
Compatibility
Many experienced Android developers refuse to support obsolete versions of this OS, as well as multimedia file formats. But the creators of the emix player decided to go to their way: the newest versions of their creations will be launched without any problems on the devices with Android 4.0 (it may be necessary to enable compatibility mode in the settings), and will also be able to play old or rare video formats like 3GP or VOB.Decoding modes
Due to the huge number of variations of hardware filling devices on Android decoding, the video was one of the main problems. MX Player developers decided to simply - the application can be configured both for HW and for SW-methods for decoding. In addition, the creators produce codecs for irrelevant mobile CPUs, as well as separate options for modern systems. In the latter case, these components need to be installed only if you do not cope already built into the application.

Gesture management
The emix player became one of the first multimedia players, which are tied to the gestures - in particular, the adjustment of brightness and volume with vertical swipes on the left and right, accordingly, first appeared in it. Gestures can also be changed fitting pictures under the screen, increase or decrease the playback speed, switch between subtitles and search for the desired position in the video.
Streaming video playback
The application under consideration at the time of the output was beneficially different from competitors the ability to play rollers from the Internet - it is enough to copy the link to the video and insert into the appropriate window in the player. The newest versions of the solution are capable of automatically intercepting links with clips, which, however, may interfere if the file needs to download. In addition, many clients of sites for online viewing of movies and TV shows recognize the installed MX Player and redirect the video stream into it, which is very convenient.
Switching audio tracks
One of the key chips is to change the sound tracks of the rollers on the fly - enough while playing clicking on the corresponding button and select the desired file.
Please note that alternative tracks should be in one directory with a playing file. In addition, the sound can be disabled at all, but this option is only available for the program decoder.
Advanced work with subtitles
Another remarkable feature of the emix player is advanced support and subtitle display. In addition to familiar encoding, language and synchronization, you can also change the appearance of the running text (select another font, apply italic, customize color and so on). Needlessly looks like compatibility with most subtitle formats. Everything else, the application supports the display of this item in online video, but only for some movie and serials. Directly by subtitles you can manage from the main screen of the program.
File Manager Features
Built-in MX Player File Manager has unexpectedly wide functionality: rollers and audio records can be deleted, renamed, marked as viewed, as well as view metadata. Some directories can be hidden from the display by the player, but other players will still be able to show and play hidden files.
