Hulu v/s MX Player

Hulu v/s MX Player    

Nowadays OTT stages are progressing at a quicker rate. With so many OTT platforms available, it’s quite hard to choose any one of them.

So let’s get into why (or why not) MX Player or Hulu deserves your hard-earned cash.

Hulu

Hulu OTT app is an American subscription video-on-demand service fully controlled and majority-owned by The Walt Disney Company. Hulu is merely available within the US (with a knock-off service in Japan; you cannot even catch on in Canada) and recently hit 28 million subscribers. Hulu has some exclusive shows that are cultural phenomena—Seinfeld and South Park—as well as exclusivity on many current networks and cable-only shows, like past seasons of Rick and Morty and Fargo. Hulu features a pretty thorough list of its own supported devices, split by people who support the new Hulu interface that came along to assist Live TV, or the "classic" version.

MX Player

MX Player OTT app is an Indian video streaming and video on demand platform developed by MX Media & Entertainment. It has over 280 million users globally. The platform currently operates on an ad-supported model and has a streaming library of over 150,000 hours across 12 languages. It is available on iOS, Android, and the web.MX Player OTT App is a powerful video player that supports all-format audio (including AC-3), advanced hardware acceleration, and subtitle support. Furthermore, it provides online streaming of TV Shows, Movies, Web Series, Music & More in HD Quality.


Features:

1.Great playback features:

MX player platforms in India can play almost any video file in existence. Stock video players usually only support 3GPP, MPEG-4, and WebM video formats, where MX players can play 10 different formats, including AVI, FLV, MKV, and MOV, those being the most commonly used file formats for videos.


2. Support for subtitles

Sometimes you just need those subtitles, being it because you do not speak the language of the video, the video is too quiet, or whatever reason you need for them. MX player OTT app allows you to manually explore your local storage to find subtitle files and include them in your video playback. If the subtitle file has the same name as the video file, and it is located in the same folder, the MX player will automatically add it by itself.


3.Audio boost

If the software decoder is enabled for the video, its volume can be boosted by up to 200%, so you will not have to focus really hard on quiet videos anymore. It is not recommended to use this feature often, however, as it may lead to damaging your speakers.

MX player does not only allow you to play files from your local storage, it can also stream video files from the internet or your local file server. MX player OTT app is automatically launched when a video link with great playback features has been clicked in the browser, so you will not even have to configure anything.


 Swipe gestures

MX player has a set of swipe gestures which are very useful when playing a video. If you swipe up or down using one finger on the left side of the screen, the screen brightness will go up or down accordingly. If you swipe on the right side of the screen, the volume will change. Swiping with two fingers up or down changes the video playback speed, where swiping left or right using one finger can be used to seek through the video. These swipe gestures are very useful in video playback and are very well done in the MX player.
