The media player interface is very simple to figure out and has the same controls that you will find in other apps of its category. However, you can still customize the interface to better meet your preferences, lock the buttons to prevent accidental interruptions while watching a video and change the default audio and video parameters, like brightness and volume. Subtitles are fully supported and you can even control their display to make them sync perfectly with the audio.

If you were having problems getting some types of videos to play on your Android device, there is a high chance that MX Video Player will let you watch them without any trouble. The app supports both software and hardware acceleration for video and audio decoding, with the latest version being able to take advantage of multi-core decoding. These more advanced functions can improve the playback performance of high-resolution videos on both the latest and most powerful devices, as well as older ones. Many users report being able to play HD videos flawlessly with this app on lower end Android devices, even when other video players would freeze or fail to open the file entirely.

Some of the more advanced video decoding settings may seem overly complicated to inexperienced users, but there is usually no need to change them manually. The app's default settings allow it to adapt itself to your hardware and the video you're playing.
