MPlayer OSX Extended

About

MPlayer OSX Extended is an unofficial extension of the MPlayer OSX user interface.

Development on the official MPlayer OSX frontend has been slow in recent years and MPlayer OSX Extended tries to change that. The project is focused on a steady pace and aimed at making MPlayer OSX what it ought to be: A simple but powerful video player.

MPlayer OSX Extended is not aimed at long release cycles and maintaining stable branches. To keep development simple and to focus on bringing the project forward, there's only one branch and no release numbers. Just ongoing revisions, of which each should be better than the one before.

Additions to the original project include:

Downloads

MPlayer OSX Extended - Revision 12 (21.6MB, 18. October 2009, OSX 10.5)
Download from Google Code.

Note: The first time MPlayer OSX plays a video, fontconfig will build it's font cache. This can take a while but only has to be done once.

MPlayer Binary Codec Package (x86/PCC)
Download from MPlayer.
Installing the binary codec pack for your architecture will add support for additional proprietary codecs. For x86 (Intel), those include WMV9, RealVideo 10, QuickTime and others. For PPC they only include the Real Codecs.
The x86 codec pack will not work with 64bit MPlayer. The easiest way to force Extended to use 32bit version is to use rev11, for the time being.

Past versions
Starting from rev12, MPlayer OSX Extended requires at least OSX 10.5 (Leopard). The last version to run on 10.4 (Tiger) is rev11, which can be downloaded here.
The full revision backlog can be viewed and downlaoded in the wiki.
