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.

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

LANCE2376 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 !

JICHI I just updated to rev13 from rev12 recently, and found most of my RMVB video and some of AVI video would crash rev13, which can be played in rev12 and VLC well. Any one get the same problem? - Most RMVB: Movie plays for arround 15sec and then stucked. I have to killall MPlayer\ OSX\ Extended to force quit. - Some AVI:: MPlayer OSX Extended reports crash and asked me to select which mplayer to use, when I tries to play the movie. Besides, VIDEO_TS still doesn't display well.

JAZZYGUY I had to go back to version 11 as the open dialogue showed nothing narda on my G5 but on my Mabook Pro the current version works great. I think this is a PPC problem. Version 11 works fine though!

PASPRO I noticed two more problems with rel13: 1. The Audio and Video equalisers do not keep the settings specified upon a player restart. 2. If one uses headphones for the sound and then he removes them while the player is playing a file the sound is not redirected to the speakers and the sound output stops. A similar thing happens when one suddenly inserts a set of headphones: the sound stops and does not get redirected to the headphones.

STTZ 1. The audio and video equalizers are currently operating on a per-movie basis. i.e. once the movie gets closed or removed from the playlist, it will loose its equalizer values. All new files are initialized to flat equalizers as well. I plan to add a system to set a default in a future release. 2. This is an issue in MPlayer that I haven't been able to investigate. You could try one of the git builds to see if it helps: http://code.google.com/p/mplayerosx-builds/

ULYSSESRIC R13 will hang and stop responding when playing certain RMVB and MKV movie files. When opening these files in R13, it will start playing after a short pause, but the total playback time of the movie can't be determined, and the player will hang after 10 to 20 seconds. I have to press CMD+OPT+ESC to force quit R13. In R12 I had similar situation too, but it can be fixed by disabling the memory cache. But in R13, setting the cache memory size to 0 MB doesn't work. Guess I have to stick to R12 until it's fixed.

I have got the same problem while playing MOST (but not ALL) rmvb files. I guess the problem is that the MPlayer\ OSX\ Extended failed to "seek" the playback, or miscommunication with mplayer to get the current "seek" value. Before the MPlayer\ OSX\ Extended hanged, you cannot do "jump" and seek as well. I remember in the previous version (rev12), some RMVB also cannot seek in MPlayer\ OSX\ Extended, but will not crash the app. Hope the developer can fix this problem soon.

ECHOROB This version 13 doesn't display the correct aspect ratio. Movies that have anamorphic display incorrectly.
