Multithreaded and 64bit-enabled for best playback performance.

Support for MKV files with embedded fonts and ASS subtitles.

Clean and concise interface and preferences.

Up-to-date builds of MPlayer and FFmpeg.

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. MPlayer OSX Extended uses the MPlayer open source project for decoding and integrates MPlayer's default key commands with a native OSX interface.

It also supports instant playback of MKV files and advanced styled subtitles in the ASS format. Thanks to multithreading and 64bit architecture, MPlayer OSX Extended is one of the fastest choices on OSX to play back HD H264 videos. 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. 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 the future of MPlayer OSX.

VLC: Feature-packed but clunky interface.

mpv: Has its own UI but is a bit cryptic.

If your not getting what's going on hopefully this will help.Retirement Notice MPlayer OSX Extended has been retired and won't receive any future updates.Īfter development of MPlayer OSX Extended has been slow for many years and development of the underlying MPlayer project has moved on to mpv, I have decided that it doesn't make sense to invest more time into this project.Ĭonsider using one of the following alternatives for video playback on macOS:

Here's a quick screencast video I made for my bug report. Obviously these changes have not made it the current version of MplayerX. Now the 'stoplight' style maximize button in the top left of windows takes it's place when relevant. It appears in Yosemite that Apple is abandoning the top-right fullscreen symbol. If I enter fullscreen using view>fullscreen or using the fullscreen symbol in the top-right of a video, I have no issues. CMD+F fullscreen leads to a fullscreen frozen frame of the video and eventually either a force quit or a total crash of MplayerX. In fact, I only have issues if I enter fullscreen using Command+F (which is still a big bummer as CMD+F is an intense automatic muscle memory thing for me). Updating seems to be at least a partial fix. Now I no longer experience the White Screen of Death.

I originally downloaded via the App Store and didn't realize MplayerX has left the Mac App Store.Īfter updating via /downland.html our issue evolved. Putting the report together I relized I was not on the current version 1.0.22.1 (1785). I decided to submit an issue report on MplayerX's Google Code page. Another user and I were discussing this on another post, and I think my experience may be helpful here.
