MX Player Ready to Rock on Lollipop

A good video player should be reliable and free. One of the XDA Community Apps, MX Player, meets both of these requirements. A few days ago, this application was updated to support Android 5.0 Lollipop. Upon reading this, you may think that you would be greeted with some Material Design eye candy, but you would be wrong. MX Player is still the very same application that we love. Rather, now the application is able to function on Lollipop.

The announcement for the new version was made by one of the project’s developers, XDA Senior Member ktsamy. Here’s a brief list of changes:

• Supports Android 5.0
• Added View menu on the media list screen for the selection of view mode, sorting order, display fields.
• Supports MOD audio files including .mod, .s3m, .xm, .it, and more.
• Added “Scroll to last played media” option under Settings > List.
• Added “Toggle playback with play button” under Settings > Player.
• Audio track can be disabled through the audio track selection box.
• Sound volume can be changed independently of system volume by checking off Settings > Audio > System volume.
• Entire files on a folder can be played by long pressing folder item.

MX Player is one of the most complete audio and video players, with tons of features and simple look. The developers had to remove some restrictions that were preventing the app from runninng on Lollipop. If you felt bad that MX Player didn’t work for you on Android L, we have a good news. It’s back and ready to download.

You can read more about the update by visiting the MX Player update thread. The application can be downloaded from dedicated MX Player forum.
