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.

I don't know if this is true for Wheezy, but it might be worth a look.Īnd one last video note for OS X users, Adam A.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:

I recently found that the Mplayer and VLC from worked perfectly fine on my G3 running Jessie. I think I mentioned in another post that Mpv worked on G3s out of the box, whereas Mplayer (and VLC) had to be compiled with the "-disable-altivec" configure option. Sid and Jessie users can still get Mplayer from the repositories, but still, Mplayer not part of your distro? Whuh? Īlso, Debian maintainers are having one of their periodic Olympus Mons-sized insanity episodes by eliminating Mplayer from Sid: Lately Youtube's been throwing up HTTPS links for its videos, so Mpv is a necessity unless you use Youtube-dl and its -prefer-insecure hack (no longer working). Mpv has several new features, like an improved onscreen display and it can also stream HTTPS links which Mplayer can't. None of this means Mplayer is automatically a better choice than Mpv. I also set my file manager to launch these files with a double-click, so I didn't launch them from a terminal. As some additional information, I only used the drop late frames option on the first two files, passed as "-framedrop" in Mplayer & Mplayer2 and "-framedrop=vo" in Mpv (VLC has a corresponding option in its preferences). So for CPU efficiency, Mplayer still comes out the best, but Mpv is a definite improvement over Mplayer2. Mplayer – 100%, occasional frame skipping

The 720p mkv maxed out the CPU with heavy frame skipping, so the following results are with the skiploopfilter=all option: I'm too lazy for tables, so here are the CPU percentages for the standard def Xvid (rough average after a few minutes of playing): This testing isn't all that rigorous or in-depth, but I think it's useful as a general impression and might be an eye-opener.

Also, I used three movie files to compare: a black and white 640 X 480 Xvid file, and two color 720p files, one an mp4 and the other an mkv. As Mpv is only available in the Jessie repository, getting it on Wheezy was a bit of a pain but possible. Just for kicks, I'll throw in VLC, too.įor my testing, I used a Powerbook with a 1.5 GHz G4 running Debian Wheezy. So I thought I'd do a little test comparison, running the same files through each player and see how they measure up in CPU usage. So how does Mpv compare? It has a few new features but is generally the same as Mplayer, a shell-based video player with a thousand options under the hood.

It's a fork of Mplayer2, which is a fork of Mplayer, which must be feeling so inadequate right now. You may have seen references here and elsewhere to a new kid on the video-player block called Mpv.
