]]> Sometimes some videos won’t work on MX Player due to codec incompatibility issues. Recently, I opened a downloaded video through MX Player to watch it. Instead of playing the video, MX Player showed an error message (The audio format EAC3 is not supported). The problem was that the EAC3 audio codec was not available on my device. Not just with audio, this happens with Videos as well. For example, if you try to play a Dolby Vision video through MX Player, you will get a similar error stating Codec not found.

This is where MX Player Custom Codec packs come into play. Custom codec packs come with all codecs that are not supported by MX Player by default. It will include ACE3, EAC3, TrueHD, DTS Sound codec, etc. You can download the All in one codec pack for MX Player and get it installed to fix all codec-related issues.
