MPlayer is a movie player which runs on many systems. It plays most MPEG/VOB, FLV, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies.


A while ago, Chomper from the Treo8 forums released a PDK-based MPlayer app for webOS. This is a separate unofficial continuation of that project. This project, however, is not PDK-based. Instead, it runs with a Mojo app frontend and a Node.js backend service (and a Java service, for backwards compatability with webOS 1.4.5 devices).

This offers several advantages. For one, cross-app launching can be used to let other developers open/stream videos in MPlayer. In addition, I've included the option to register MPlayer as a file handler, so MPlayer can be used as the system default player for extensions of your choice, allowing apps like Web, Email, and Internalz to use MPlayer without modification.

Supports webOS 1.4.5 and 2.x.

Does this play .mkv files also?
Tried it in my palm pixi and only the sound was coming without any video, has anyone else tried it guys?

On the Pre3 there are bars or artifacts on the top and bottom of the video. Not the usual black bars but 'live' parts of the video itself duplicated at both ends. Does the video rotate?

chopper Mplayer for Pixi plus

[Alinaki]

Hi! All versions plays any video on Veer slowly... audio is OK, but video plays too slow. Anybody tries to fix that?

[mobile_surfer]

On the pixi plus mobile, the Mplayer, does play .mkv, .avi and most of the video formats, but they keep getting stuck. It plays in a very annoying manner and is almost unwatchable .
Anybody faced the same problem? and does anyone know of a fix for this?
