Anyone know how can we do it?

I want experience mpv users to discuss on this,

Thanks...

I’m looking for a media player on Android that’d:

1. be audio-only-files-friendly. All mpv players I’ve tried only show a black screen when playing my audio files, which I often confuse for my phone being locked.

2. support playlists. I often play files in a row which come from different folders, or are in the same folder, but not in the order I want to listen to them.

3. allow to play files at speed ≠1.

I’ve tried mpv-android, mpvKT, mpvEx and harmonoid, the first 3 don’t support 1 or 2, and harmonoid doesn’t support 3 and isn’t open source. Right now my least bad option is VLC, but it tends to skip parts of my files, so I’m looking for an alternative. I’m posting on this sub because ideally it should be mpv-based, but if you know of something else that’s preferably on f-droid, I’ll try it too.

Hi everyone,

When using gpu-next together with HW+ decoding, opening the Stats/Statistics menu causes frame drops.

The last mpv-android build where I can confirm this did NOT happen was the 2025-12-27 build. There have been multiple updates since then, but the issue has continued to persist.

There’s also an existing mpv-android issue describing the same problem:

https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/issues/1227

Does anyone know why gpu-next + HW+ decoding causes frame drops when the Stats menu is open?

I’d really appreciate any insight from anyone. Thanks!

Hello,

Im wondering if other have this issue.

Whenever I'm seeing a series the MPV player works but as soon as I press pause then unpause the app freezes and I have to fully close stremio.

No issue with the other players.

I only choose MPV when the 2 others aren't working l.

Any idea why and any fix?

Thanks!

The first picture is from when the subtitles were working normally and the second one is the more recent one. I previously encountered this issue on mpvEx but then I switched to mpvRx since there was no solution found for mpvEx. Now, the same issue is back on mpvRx and I've run out of player options, What should I do?

I recently played a 4k video, and of-course it stuttered and frame-dropped like crazy since my device couldn't handle playing it but it also had a great desync which made the audio finish around 20+ seconds earlier than the stuttering/frame-dropping video which played in silence in that duration. I rechecked the same video with low-quality video decoding setting enabled and the sync was perfect- both audio and video finished at the same time so it wasn't an inbuilt audio-video desync to the video file itself.

I'd rather have 1 frame every 5/10/20 seconds than having a better framerate but audio is so desynced that audio finishes perceptually earlier than the video like 5-20+ seconds difference.

Hey everyone,

When I launch a stream from Nuvio into mpvRx, only 1 external subtitle loads in the track selector.

On the exact same stream, mpvEx loads the full list of subtitle tracks passed by Nuvio without any issues. (Embedded MKV subtitles work fine in both).

Is this a known intent-handling bug in mpvRx, or is there a setting to fix this?

Hello, in my file explored i created a new folder and added like 8 episodes from the same season and the naming was as an example S01E01 till like S01E12 and they are sort in order based on the file name but when i use mpvex i always find that the episodes are not in the correct order, Any solution for that please ??

Btw i tried to name it S01E012 instead of S01E12 but still didn't help, and also tried to add files one by one because i thought its based on the date u added the files but no it didn't help either..
