Video players for Android have never been better than the MX Player armv8 neon codec. Background playback and hardware decoding make this player compatible with many file formats. Almost any media file can be played with the excellent video quality. MX Player offers flexibility that no other media player can match.
Despite this, some limitations exist, such as incompatibilities with AC3, DTS, MLP, and TrueHD. Thanks to the XDA Developers, you can use Custom Codec for MX Player in that case.
Custom Codec can be downloaded according to your device architecture (such as ARM, Tegra, Neon, etc.).

MX Player armv8 neon codec
FFMPEG is included in the MX Player Codec Pack and many other libraries required to make the player work properly. The MX Player APK you download from Play Store will only contain the necessary libraries for your device. Occasionally, MX Player requires you to install codec packs from the Google Play Store. Custom Codec is an additional codec that modifies FFmpeg, the default codec of MX Player.
The audio tracks are compatible with DTS/Dolby (AC3). In this case, codec packs from the Play Store must be installed if MX Player asks for them. DTS and Dolby (AC3) audio tracks can be played with a custom codec.

What to do when you update MX Player?
The Custom Codec does not need to be updated if MX Player is updated without affecting the FFmpeg library. There will be no change. MX Player will not load it if it is incompatible.
A newer version of the FFMPEG library will be checked every time MX Player is updated. An error message will appear if the Codec is outdated:
There is an out-of-date custom codec. It should be replaced with the new version.”
In that case, update Custom Codec for MX Player with the latest version. Otherwise, leave the Codec alone.
That’s all there is to it! If you encountered an issue with Custom Codec, please comment below. If you found this post helpful, please share it.
