Most of us know MX Player as the best video player on Android, capable of handling any file format, codec, bit rate or subtitle extension. What you may have missed is that MX also offers streaming movies and on-demand TV shows in India. It is now expanding availability to seven countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
First, here is the list of countries where streaming is now available:
- Australia
- Bangladesh
- Canada
- Nepal
- New Zealand
- UK
- United States
If you have already installed MX, you do not need to do anything. The interface must switch on its own to activate the new Video tongue. One of our team members verified that it had this feature in the United States, but not in the United Kingdom. It can therefore be deployed slowly to users.
MX’s video service was launched in 2018 in India, a few months after Times Internet purchased the app. It’s free, ad-supported, no premium options, no ads yet. It has doubled Netflix and Hotstar and has become the most popular streaming service with 175 million monthly users.
MX has signed deals with local studios in the U.S. and the U.K. to include more engaging global content, but you shouldn’t expect to find many hot and new movies or shows. Most of the titles are a bit old, although you can’t be this difficult when VOD service doesn’t cost you a penny. Plus, now that most of us are stressed out at home, a little dive into the classics of a simpler era should be considered a feature, not a drawback.
After this expansion, the team behind MX Player hopes to penetrate other markets such as the Middle East and South Asia.
