FLV MPlayer is a
free software and open source media player. The program is available for all
major operating systems, including Linux and other Unix-like systems, Microsoft
Windows and Mac OS X. Versions for OS/2, Syllable, AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS
Research Operating System are also available. The Windows version also works,
with some minor problems, in DOS using HX DOS Extender. A port for DOS using
DJGPP is also available. Versions for the Wii Homebrew Channel and Amazon
Kindle have also emerged.
FLV MPlayer
interprets most video and audio formats natively through the libavcodec library
of the FFmpeg project. For those formats where no open source decoder has been
made yet MPlayer relies on binary codecs. It can use Windows DLLs directly with
the help of a DLL loader forked from avifile (which itself forked its loader
from the Wine project).
