[OpenIndiana-discuss] a MP4 media player which works on openindiana ?

[Mehmet Erol Sanliturk]

ffplay of FFmpeg is mentioned as able to play  MP4 in the following page :


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_player_software
Comparison of video player software

under parts of

Consumer video format ability
Container format ability

I am not a user of Open Indiana at present . Therefore I am not able to say
that  the ffplay in FFmpeg can play your MP4 files .

Another unfortunate situation at present is my broken Linux ( Fedora )
installations due to a failing hard disk and installation of a different
Linux
( Fedora ) version . Because of this I could not be able to  run  the
ffplay program due to a library mismatch .

My opinion is that if you try   ffplay  in FFmpeg directly on your  system
it will be able to play your  MP4  files .
Please be careful about command line parameters of  the  ffplay  program .
