mplayer vs jahplayer

[Razorholt]

Hi,

I was looking for a simple player but yet powerful that could run on both Mac and Windows and I just found jahplayer. Does anybody know about it?

How will you compare it to mplayer?


Thanks,

Hi Siber,

Sorry, my bad. It's JAHPLAYER ... http://www.jahshaka.org/

VLC is not stable enough and quite "heavy". The handshake between our script and VLC is not 100% efficient and this is due to VLC. I'm currently trying to use mplayer instead but it's not working on all the Mac OS :(

Thanks,

Hi!

What video and/or audio format(s) are you seeking to play on both platforms?

Hi setarip_old,

Video: MKV/MP4
Audio: ogg/ac3/mp3

I gave jahplayer a small review in this other recent thread :

Basically I think it's crap.

Mplayer + MPUI on windows has very nice and simple UI.
There are some things I'd do differently if the UI was up to me , but overall it's very good.
I haven't tried mplayer on a mac.

Thanks CeeJay.dk! Mplayer remains #1 then... I wish it was working flawlessly on Mac. :)
