MPlayerX is an alternative media player powered by ffmpeg and mplayer.

"Well, I was really tired of Mplayer OSX. It runs OK but, it looks like a ninety year old man."

And also, the new technology Apple prevailed, such as Core Animation, Grand-Central Dispatch, even OpenCL, pushed me to give them a try.

So I started without even knowing how to program under Mac, came to know Xcode, Objective-C 2.0, Cocoa and the Core family.

It is still in such a primary status, I will keep on enhance and figure out how to do this and how to do that.

Nice to see that mplayer.org now gives everyone a MAS-free download option for the very latest release. Good soft and now a good download, too.

Thanks indeed for the non-App Store link.
Playback of movies on Mplayer X does not seem as nice as VLC or Movist. I will gladly look forward to improvements though.

Thanks for making us aware of the other download location Kobalt. I've replaced that with the previous MAS link :)

Does this mean they're not going to be storing versions in the GoogleCode archive, anymore?

Would be nice if they included the version number in the direct download archive's file name, but that's no big deal in the slightest...

After testing it with various files side by side with VLC, I still can't let go of VLC completly because of a few reasons:

- .ts files get out of sync after a while
- the CPU load is a bit higher and the fan speeds a bit faster on my mid 2011 Mac Mini (around 3000-3500 while vlc does not need more than 2500)

- what I realy like is the 10bit support, because most Anime encoders seem to be using this from now on, so two thumbs up for this.

What I want from the next release:

- Try to minimize the CPU load or make the multi-core support better.
- Give the user the option to chose which full screen-option they want. The Lion full screen is a bit laggy and I don't like it.

With recent v1.0.8 and v1.0.9 on OS X 10.7.1, I often experience this:
- the controller buttons don't appear. I have to move the pointer outside the movie's windows and move it back,
- movie's windows won't get closed if I press Command+W keystroke and there's no X sign in window's close red button
- the application won't move to the front if I double click a movie trough the finder.

I love the app, but twice now at the end of an .avi video, the controls will appear out of nowhere for a couple seconds and disappear again. Very distracting, and, to be honest, a deal breaker, so back to VLC. Anyone know how to keep this from happening?

Any recent mac should have a TOSLINK adapter, which is basically an SPDIF connector. It's a dual purpose connector so it supports analog connectors for things like headphones, but it also has an internal fiber out as well.

Ditch the USB audio if possible. The Mini TOSLINK adapters can be had for $2 or $3 bucks ;)

Just go to preferences and the very first option you see says "Keep window on top" - select the drop down menu and change the setting to never. That should do the trick!

Users of OSX.5.8 machines want MPlayerX, too (not only rev12). Any chance?

MPlayerX is an alternative media player powered by ffmpeg and mplayer.

It is still in such a primary status, I will keep on enhance and figure out how to do this and how to do that.

Now it could do
  • Multi-Screen Fullscreen support
  • Apple Remote support
  • Multi-Touch support
  • Automatic find next proper file to play
  • Auto detect the encode method of subtitle file (with Universal Charset Detector)
  • Snapshot
  • Multi-Threaded ffmpeg support
  • Change subtitle size while playing(except VOBSub)
  • Remember last played time and resume playing
