MPlayer OSX Extended is developed by Adrian Stutz. Most MPEG/VOB, 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. MPlayer OSX Extended is free software and released under the GNU GPLv2 license. Using mPlayer, webOS users can now (potentially) play a huge number of additional media file types, including (from the mPlayer site's description): Not content with that success, apparently, Chomper has also ported mPlayer to webOS. Chomper has now released a beta JVM (original posting in Chinese here Google translation here) that, while buggy, seems to be working for users. Until recently, webOS has been left out of the Java pot, since there had been no JVM available.

Once the patch is up ad runs, you need to open the Wii Mplayer app from the Homebrew channel, insert the disc and let Wii play DVD.

(For example, Jason Robitaille's webOS Quick Install and other Canuck Coding tools, and Palm's own webOS Doctor, are both written in Java.) Using this solution, you need to download the homebrew video player which is also known as Wii unlocker, copy the file to the SD card and then use the Channel to apply the 2-second patch. Developers can write a single applet or application in Java that will work in many different operating systems, provided that a Java virtual machine is available for those OSes to interpret the code. Java (not to be confused with the Javascript Web site scripting language, already a major part of webOS) is a sophisticated, cross-platform programming language developed by Sun Microsystems (now part of Oracle). One Chinese developer, Chomper, has recently released early versions of two long-awaited additions to the platform: a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and a port of the open-source, multiformat mPlayer media player.

The worldwide homebrew community continues to push the edges of webOS.
