MX Player Custom Codec with DTS Support [v1.7.31]

Old Custom Codecs are not compatible with the latest player v1.7.31.
DTS is a type of audio codec which is owned and copy righted by DTS Inc. You can use dts pass through without any copy right issue. But, in mobile it needs to be down sampled to 2 channels which is a conversion process and it needs to the permission from DTS Inc.They are not ready to have a deal with the software players. So, dts playback support is dropped from the official MX-Player. Simply if your video has dts audio it wont play any audio. Only video will be played. So, Ktsamy [Senior XDA Member] have re-compiled the ffmpeg sources with dts audio support for our MX-Player lovers.

Announcement:
Now this project is migrated to XDA-DevDB. You can download the codec files from download tab. For mobile users I will provide the direct links in this post as well. You can follow the project by clicking on Follow button. The followers will get the notification whenever the new version is updated.
