By setting proper MIME type, you can avoid ActivityNotFoundException exception regardless of passing URI.
Even if MIME type is not provided, Intent can be delivered to MX Player depending on the file extension of Intent uri(data). Most popular extensions are supported including avi, mkv, mp4, 3gp, asf, divx, flv, ts, wmv and so forth.
*CAVEAT: For http/https URIs, result will not be returned unless directly specifying activity class name by calling Intent.setClassName(). Class name for free edition is com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad.ActivityScreen and pro edition is com.mxtech.videoplayer.ActivityScreen.
For example,
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri videoUri = Uri.parse("http://host:port/playlist.m3u8");
intent.setDataAndType( videoUri, "application/x-mpegURL" );
intent.setPackage( "com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro" );
How can I launch MX Player from a web page?- You can use a URL with "intent" scheme.
Example<a href="intent:http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8 #Intent;package=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad;S.title=New%20title;end">Launch through Intent scheme.</a> - Check following links for more information; link #1, link #2
