Media Player with repeat feature

Edwina Lee

Lurker
I want to find a good media player app which allows me to replay a video or sound track in an endless loop.

It must be able to replay MP4 and MP3 files.

(I already use the VLC app, but it has no replay feature.)

Please recommend.

MX Player has 'Loop one' and 'Loop all' options buried in a settings menu (open a media file and in the three vertical dots icon in the upper left open the 'Play' sub-menu).
This allows you to continuously loop the file you're playing, or loop all the files in the same directory.
I use both MX Player and VLC, and I don't see one or the other having an advantage in the wide range of media file types they can handle so you won't be sacrificing anything. Personally I prefer the user interface and number of options in MX Player but just a caveat:
-- The free version of MX Player has become pretty ad heavy (VLC is ad-free) so paying for the Pro version is worth it if you use it a lot. But note that MX Player was just bought out a couple of months ago and the new owners do not seem fully committed into continuing it as is, so paying for the Pro version is an iffy point until its future is on more solid ground again.

Thank you Svim, but unfortunately, 'settings' has been taken out of all the versions of MX Player already. o_O

:DHowever, that allowed me to discover "Max Player HD 2018" which has "Replay" written into its specification. It is replaying very well on my Android device now !

Looking at MX Player on two different phones as I write this and Settings menus (and their sub-menus) exist in both. Nothing appears to have been deprecated over the years I've been using it, if anything features and capabilities have only been added, not decreased.
 
Hi Svim,

I tried them 'MX Player' of various flavours on my Android Phablet, and they all lost/has no settings.
Perhaps if you 'upgrade' them one day, the settings will disappear.
 
Both are current versions, 1.9.17, updated just early this month and the Settings menu accessible in the top right of the menubar.
