DESCRIPTION
MPlayer OSX Extended is the future of MPlayer OSX. Leveraging the power of the MPlayer and FFmpeg open source projects, MPlayer OSX Extended aims to deliver a powerful, functional and no frills video player for OSX.

MPlayer OSX Extended is based on the original MPlayer OSX project but has since undergone fundamental changes, making it a modern and easy to use video player. Thanks to multithreading and 64bit architecture, MPlayer OSX Extended is one of the fastest choices on OSX to play back HD H264 videos. It also supports instant playback of MKV files and advanced styled subtitles in the ASS format.

MPlayer OSX Extended uses the MPlayer open source project for decoding and integrates MPlayer's default key commands with a native OSX interface. Users of MPlayer should immediately feel at home and are able to tweak the fine details of the MPlayer invocation with binary bundles and additional command-line options.

Some of its key features are:
  • Up-to-date builds of MPlayer and FFmpeg.
  • Clean and concise interface and preferences.
  • Support for MKV files with embedded fonts and ASS subtitles.
  • Multithreaded and 64bit-enabled for best playback performance.
  • Built-in support for a wide range of video and audio formats.
  • Fullscreen controls, playlist, inspector and interactive audio and video equalizers.
  • Capture screenshots of any video.
  • Automatic updates for itself and MPlayer binaries.

YOSHINATSU  The new rev14test2 is really great! It even gets rid of the stupid bug when you want to open a video after another.

ZEPHYRIS  There are a few troubles with mplayer extended that can lead to frustration.

1) Pause a movie and play something with quicktimeX. Mplayer window does not go fullscreen and is non response to keyboard and mouse double click

2) Non responsive to keyboard and mouse occasionally for no reason

3) If the mplayer window is closed, a movie won't play with drag drop to the icon. Replicate: launch mplayer close the window and drag drop into dock.

KANTORDE  I want to add to your list a fourth point:

4. If the MPlayer Ext window is closed, a movie won't play with "open with mplayer extended" from the file context menu.

BOSSA-NOVA  Is there a way to make Mplayer look for a .srt subtitle in the same folder as the movie and load it automatically, like Movist does?

BOSSA-NOVA  OK, it seems it works by default. Some .srt subtitles I have were not loaded because they were not recognized by MPlayer, probably due to some problems in the files themselves, even though VLC can display them. It proves that there is no perfect player and one should always have 3 different players and from movie to movie switch to the one that works best.

****.

YOSHINATSU  Rev13 actually made me switch from VLC.

However, I have this little issue. When I click "X" (but not completely shut it down) on MPlayer, and then try to play another video, they video won't play, and I have to shut the application down, and they open the video again.

VIDEO_TS/DVD support is still shitty too.

Other than that it's all fine, complete deinterlace, resolution and post-processing options, virtual surround, and the BEST subtitle encoding I've ever seen, gotta love the semi-transparent black shadow, it's just PERFECT for ANY movie.

TURKCHGO  Same problem here. They player seems to relay on a player being open. The trick I found is to hit Escape when you're done watching a movie or clip and then it leaves the player open to show another file which you can either double click or drag to the icon in the dock or right into the player control window that stays open.

This should be fixed though so that when you close a player window a new one is activated when a file is either double clicked or dragged to the dock icon.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Works great! Runs flawlessly, like always. I don't understand what the issue is with it crashing on people. I always run Onyx on my system every now and again. Perhaps try that. o_O

LANCE2355  Same thing as the others. r13 crashes without ever playing a single file. Reverting back to r12 which works like a charm.

AMURO  actually solved it by deleting the preferences, launching and putting a check on 'automatically check for updates'. Quit and relaunch, disabled auto updates again. No problems after that.

MYANMAR  Definitely less responsive than rev12 on .mkv files. Hope it gets fixed soon as mplayer has become my default player since long time now !
