Why MX Player?

Video players may be a dime a dozen on Android, but MX Player stands among the finest of players, and it remains one of the most popular today. It even has better visibility in streaming.

Times Internet, which acquired MX Player, made all the splendid changes possible. The player now has a Cast service made easy by a button easily found on the player’s interface or at the action bar above the listing of available videos. Note, however, that since your phone is the source of the video, then you can’t bring your phone with you when you wish to leave. If you do, the casting ends.

Try testing the Cast. It is already enabled even if you have not updated to the latest version.

MX Player – the hard truth

MX Player is available for Android. With the ease of its interface, it makes watching movies even on your mobile phone especially easy. The app is rich in features and supports numerous codecs. However, it is not that perfect yet. You could still encounter some files that MX Player does not run. Plus, its free version has quite an annoying number of ads.

Nevertheless, Windows MX player is becoming as popular as VLC player. Indeed, despite coming out late for the Android platform, VLC Player still supports the most number of audio and video file formats. MX Player is catching up to VLC player’s features fast. However, as earlier said, there are some files that may not play. if by any chance MX Player does not support the file that you have, then you might still need to go to the VLC player.

A Biased View of MX Player

MX Player has unique attributes indeed, and the best one being the option for a private folder. You can add specific videos that you would like to keep for yourself. This personal folder is protected by a pin (four digits). Perhaps this sets MX Player apart from the rest.

Meanwhile, if the video format is supported by Chromecast, and if your phone and Chromecast are attached to the same Wi-Fi network, then you will see a throw button at the corner which can be used to stream content on your TV instantly. Personally, I get stuck to one place when viewing a cast with other people using my phone.
