MX Player Custom Codec

MX Player’s Codec Pack includes the FFmpeg library and a variety of other libraries that are needed to ensure that the player functions effectively. If you download MX Player APK from the Play Store, it will include only the necessary libraries according to the device’s architecture. Sometimes, you will need to download Codec packs available from Google Play Store (if MX Player asks to do this). However, Custom Codec is an additional option that is a modified version of the FFmpeg library, which MX Player utilizes.

It is compatible with Dolby/DTS (ac3) audio tracks. Therefore, Codec packs from Play Store must be installed if MX Player asks the user to install it. A custom codec is not required if you wish to play videos with DTS and Dolby (AC3) audio tracks.
