Furthermore, it provides online streaming of TV Shows, Movies, Web Series, Music & More in HD Quality.

Features:

1. Great playback features:

MX player platforms in India can play almost any video file in existence. Stock video players usually only support 3GPP, MPEG-4, and WebM video formats, where MX players can play 10 different formats, including AVI, FLV, MKV, and MOV, those being the most commonly used file formats for videos.


2. Support for subtitles

Sometimes you just need those subtitles, being it because you do not speak the language of the video, the video is too quiet, or whatever reason you need for them. MX player OTT app allows you to manually explore your local storage to find subtitle files and include them in your video playback. If the subtitle file has the same name as the video file, and it is located in the same folder, the MX player will automatically add it by itself.

  • Pros:
  • -Hardware acceleration

Hardware acceleration can be used for video playback to help in the app’s HW+ mode. This allows for smoother video playback as well as better playback of higher resolutions.

  • -Built-in touch lock feature

It is possible to have videos played in touch lock mode. It is also possible to hide watermarks or display the player's touch locked status

Cons:

  • -No ac3 support

There is no ac3 audio support.

Not having Chromecast support severely limits the usefulness of the app to those that use said service, especially when many other video apps support it.
