Here you can find everything needed to get MPlayer up and running.
The recommended way to install MPlayer is to compile from current
SVN source.
Look at the
unofficial packages
section of our projects page if you do not wish to compile from
source and/or are looking for packages that may be more tightly
integrated with your platform.
You might also want to check out the
other frontends
since there is no further development and limited bug fixing for the
included graphical user interface.
Be advised that we do not support any unofficial packages, only the
non-outdated official ones listed below.
If you have trouble with unofficial packages, get support from the
respective authors.
For a complete MPlayer installation you will need
sources, a set of
binary codecs, and a
skin if you want a graphical user interface.
Quick compilation and installation instructions are contained in the
README, the
installation section
of the documentation has more complete information.
We provide nightly Subversion snapshots generated at six in the
morning (GMT+1). They are generally stable and recommended.
If you have issues with them report it, or use Subversion directly
to get a more up-to-date or previous version, or wait for the next
snapshot, it might be fixed by then.
The Subversion snapshots are working directories complete with
Subversion metadata (the result of 'svn checkout'). The source
snapshots are bare sources without Subversion metadata (the result
of 'svn export').
The latest MPlayer release is 1.4, created on 18/04/2019, which includes
an FFmpeg snapshot.
We recommend to always use the latest SVN to get the all the new features and
bugfixes, especially if the release date above looks old.
The previous MPlayer release is 1.2.1, created on 24/01/2016, which includes
FFmpeg 2.8.5.
Use this version if you need compatibility with FFmpeg 2.8.x branch.
We keep the
old releases and
ancient releases
of MPlayer, in case anybody is interested.
You can also get MPlayer via Subversion. Issue the following command to
get the latest sources:
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
A directory named mplayer will be created in the current directory.
You can later update your sources by typing
svn update
from within that directory.
Our Subversion setup does not work over
HTTP/HTTPS, nor will it in the future. If you have trouble
accessing the Subversion repository, then in 99% of all cases
a firewall on your side is the problem. Open TCP port 3690 or
find a machine that can use the svn:// protocol directly.
Another alternative is downloading a Subversion snapshot.

First of all, a big warning: These packages are useless for normal
Windows players and will only work with MPlayer.
Our binary codec packages add support for codecs that are not yet
implemented natively, like newer RealVideo variants and a lot of
uncommon formats. Note that they are not necessary to play most
common formats like DVDs, MPEG-1/2/4, etc.
See the codec status table
for the daily-generated list of currently supported codecs.
Choose the package that matches your processor and operating system.
If your system cannot manage Linux libraries, choose the Windows
package instead. On Windows MPlayer will try to use the codecs
installed on your system. Our packages can save you the hassle of
installing every known codec and using untested codec versions.
Instructions for installing binary codecs can be found in the
README or in
the README.txt file that accompanies each codec package.
If you want to verify the integrity of the codec packages, compare the
MD5 sums.
If you want to know what's new in a codec package, check the
ChangeLog.
Old package versions, md5sums of all codecs and unsupported/broken
codecs useful for development are kept in the
codecs directory.
Click on skin names for screenshots.
Read the
README or the
GUI section
of the documentation to find out how to install skins.
If you want to create your own MPlayer GUI skin, read the
skin section
of the documentation. If you are content with your skin and wish to
have it added to the official skin collection, go over the
Creating quality skins guide
and submit the skin to us.
