Hi nicety. I'm not sure if I set MX Player as default video player or not but I think it is MX player open by default when play video in ES File Explorer. When pause movie, ads will show up at top. I've set MX Player to either auto Resume or ask when start and the movie will not resume in either case. On occasion when I did manage to move the time slider using right arrow button on remote, playback will be lag/slowmo and auto resume or ask whether to resume will work but in lag mode. Even select start over when ask will start over in lag mode. I tried to cancel default on MX Player but it shows default not set. Hope you have some idea on how to make it work properly. Thanks.

I would advise to switch to Himedia Native Media Player which will always prompt for resume, there are two way to do this :

1). The most easier way is open the movies file from Himedia File Manager, it will auto open Himedia Video Player to play.

2). Reset the default player in ES Explorer, follow the below :
a). Start your Explorer
b). Click the movies and hold it until the sub menu appear, click "More"
c). Select Open As
d). ES Explorer will prompt the list of player again
e). Tick the select as default
f). Select Himedia Video Player (the second one)

Himedia native media player is called Video Player, right? I tried this and same thing happened. It shows the options to start over and resume but resume still does not work. It will always start over just like using MX Player.

Since all the players having has the symptom, could it be the media file ? Please test different media file on different harddisk/pendrive.

It is not the media file. Check with another movie and same problem. I just found that it will work with movie on local usb drive. It did not work with movie on the LAN but that is how I access all my movies, over the network. It even work with my android smartphone using ES File Explorer and MX Player. Any other idea how to resolve?

I got you now, you play from shared folder not local file. I'm so sorry did not get your question correctly. Will come back to you if found the solution.

Btw, your network shared folder is via NAS, samba, nfs or windows file sharing?

They are in shared folder on my PC running Win7, so I guess it would be Windows file sharing then.

Will come back to you once I found the solution.

Hi nicety. Any solution yet to the resume problem? Thanks.

Sorry bro, I do not manage to find the solution to resume from Windows file sharing so far. Will continue search for it.

Btw, are u using wifi or LAN port for the network?

wired LAN.

Just tested using the File Manager(native Himedia file explorer), the movies can be resumed without problem.

Pls test with file manager( not ES ) and let me know. If still the same, you may double check your network.

How do I connect to network using native file manager? Previously I asked you before but you ask me to use ES file explorer instead.

Also another problem. I plug-in a HDD but I don't see it either in setting or ES file explorer or file manager. How to enable HDD. Thanks.

Just click the Globe icon at the top right corner, it will prompt you to enter IP address of your PC, login account and password. Then you can access to your windows share folder.

If you are using new HDD, first plug into your PC to initialize the disk and format it as NTFS. If the HDD is in good condition, it should be auto detect by the Q10, no setting required.

OK. I tried using ES file explorer on avi and mp4 files and they can resume without problem. It did not work with all mkv files that I've tried. My network should not be a problem since I've been using it on ACRyan POHD for the last 4 years without issues and also resume work on my Android 4.2.1 smartphone as well. I'll try with himedia file manager later.

No worry bro, let us isolate the issue together, pls let me know your test result of File Manager. I will test my MKV file as well.

Managed to simulate your issue as per your detail description, ES Explorer unable to resume the MKV file but not problem with AVI, MP4 and RMVB.

And I would like to confirm that Himedia File Manager could resume MKV movies without problem.

Hi nicety. I tried with Himedia File manager and it can resume mkv without any problem. The only problem is it can't connect to my shared drives with password protection. I need the password protection for parental control. I tried using ASTRO file manager but it is not good as it will try to download the file first before play. I'll probably need to find another file manager that can connect to password protected shared folders and can also resume mkv file. Any recommendation? If himedia can add password protection capability into their file manager would be perfect. Thanks.

When I try the Himedia File Manager, it prompt me for login account and password. Actually password protection is control at the shared folder level where you can specific public share or private share in your PC, public share do not need password. The File Manager or ES Explorer do not control whether the shared folder is password protected, when access to public folder it skip the password prompt and when access to password protected folder it prompt for login and password.

That is correct but why Himedia file manager did not prompt me. I'll go thru your procedure again and see if it prompt.

EDIT: OK. When I use Himedia File Manager and click on the globe, it shows All Network. I click on All Networks and it shows Localhost and myserver. When I click on myserver, it shows list of all my shared folders. When I click on any of the shared folders, the screen goes blank and later it exit into Himedia launcher. It never ask for username and password.

If any of the shared folders is set to everyone, then it will list all the files in the shared folder and everything works fine. Look like I'll have to make shared folders public and continue to use my POHD for those with password protection. With this issue I need to be careful with future android media player purchases to ensure it can work in my use condition.

Thanks nicety for all the help and being patience with me.
