(but I don't advise that you get it there - as I will explain below.) It is available on Apple's App Store for download. As previously stated, MPlayerX for Macintosh OSX is a FREE port of the original MPlayer with an excellent modern GUI fully compatible with OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 that is being actively developed and improved on an ongoing basis. You may also want to visit the MPlayer wikipedia page for lots of interesting info on MPlayer history and development. Also go here for recent news, history, etc: So, this is not for everybody.Ī visit to the MPlayer website may be worth your time to learn more about the features of this interesting project.
MPLAYERX DOWNLOAD INSTALL
It is a command line application and you need to engage in some geeky procedures to use and install any of the variety of GUI front-ends available. The caveat is that MPlayer code does not come with a front end.NO GUI. It can be download for almost any OS and supports an almost mind bending array of codecs, inputs, devices, browsers, plug-ins etc, etc.
MPlayer is open source and enjoys an active community of developers and enthusiasts. plus various obscure and out of date OSes. MPlayer is available for virtually all major operating systems including Linux, Windows, Mac, etc. MPlayer was/is well known to gamers and it was bundled with many gaming systems for years. MPlayerX is a port of the venerable MPlayer Project that has been around in one form or another since all the way back in 2000.
MPLAYERX DOWNLOAD FOR MAC OSX
To avoid confusion, let me make it clear that there is a distinction between MPlayerX for Mac OSX which I am recommending here and the original MPlayer project that I am discussing below for background and historical context. MPLayerX is under active development so new features are being added and bugs are being squashed on an ongoing basis. It has some cool features and capabilities that both VLC and Quicktime Player don't have but it also lacks some features that the other players do have such as the playlist feature in VLC.
(Similar to Quicktime too.) It can open and play just about any video codec you will encounter anywhere and it is even said that it can open files the VLC can't but I don't really know.
MplayerX is a highly capable FREE open source media player that in many ways is similar to VLC from VideoLAN. I've spent the last few weeks experimenting with MPlayerX for Mac and would like to introduce and recommend it to anyone who may not be aware of it.
