YXFlash player is out for iPhone and released in our repository. This marks the first actually usable xvid / divx player for the iPhone. Finally you can watch that collection of avi files you have laying around without having to convert them into Apple’s annoying format first. While the converted videos do play a bit smoother due to hardware acceleration, but xvid videos are watchable, at least the ones I tested.The player also plays flash content if you have downloaded flash flv videos to your device. (It is not a web based flash player).
In order to add the videos, just SCP them onto your device or use something like iPhone Browser. Yes, the app is free.
Edit: I guess I messed up the sync and it didnt go into Cydia. Adding it now. Also, yes it does have landscape mode. Just double tap the video. There are paid features but the xvid was totally free.

Well, its appears to be pretty unstable on 2.2.1 - I’ve had several crashes already. Its also mega fussy about the types of files it plays and I don’t think it is free! The website (http://www.mobilesoft.kr) is quoting £6.94 although its not clear what you get for this or what the restrictions are on the free/demo version?

To play movies from a pc network get an app for the iphone called liveOrb, using a program on the pc, the app can play most video/audio/pictures/docs straight off the network, I tested full length uncompressed videos from my pc and could watch them perfectly on the iphone.

Also for now, Mplayer can play many formats of video and audio on the iphone (not streamed from a network) but it is buggy and slow.
I wish there was a native realplayer for the iphone already as I have so much rm files on my pc and travel alot.

Also CorePlayer will bring a version for iPhone in Future, but we will have to wait for it a long time, becose the announcement is a long time ago in their website.

If you have no icon on springboard, go reinstall to the package when in cydia again. If there is no sound switch off the mute switch

“without having to convert them into Apple’s annoying format first.”
Uhhh … the h.264 (mp4/m4v) format the iPhone plays isn’t Apple’s, it is the standard format for mpeg4 files. If we could just stop the scene from distributing crappy non-standard AVI files encoded with the non-standard divx codec, we wouldn’t need these alternate players.

However - .h264, from what I’ve heard, doesn’t support 5.1 surround sound.
I used to agree with you, but this little tidbit makes a big difference.
Perhaps .mkv is the codec of the future though - but Apple doesn’t want to support xvid/mkv/etc - it will only support video files within iTunes. Trying to give people the incentive to stick to iTunes Movies.
Getting scene releases, rather than buying official releases via iTunes Store, and having to convert them is the ‘price’ we pay for not buying them. There are always costs, and Apple would like to keep those costs as high as possible as a disincentive.

LIES. Another lying developer trying to con you into downloading a limited demo version by claiming the app is free without mentioning that the description given is for the paid version. The free version only plays MP3 and either DIVX or XVID (I can’t remember which because I deleted the apps.)
Nice work, developer and BigBoss. Thanks for inconveniencing me. I certainly won’t even bother checking out any future apps from this dishonest developer.

I always appreciate anyone developing a new app, but how do you figure it is free? It clearly displays a registration key you must buy. There is a limited time trial which I am getting ready to try.
[Reply]
July 5th, 2009 at 8:32 am
it leaves an annoying watermark whilst in the trial version and has sound problems
[Reply]
July 13th, 2009 at 1:49 am
very bad app. To me, trial version is not “free” like they said in cydia.
[Reply]
July 15th, 2009 at 5:40 am
Well, this app’s pretty cool but i don’t know why version 2.0.0 cannot be used on os 3.0 though version 1.0.9 can be used on 3.0 9sr for my bad english)

I tried yxflash and mplayer on 3G with 3.0 OS,
yxflash does have the annoying watermark but play more smoother than mplayer. On the other hand, mplayer does not have watermark but with a little bit jerking on sound sometimes.
While in the midst of playing kungfu panda from both, I could not pause it from either player. I pressed the pause button but no response. Had to press home button to come out. Could not find Bookmark button from either one.
[Reply]
July 17th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
mplayer plays 3gp but not older version of wmv
yxflash plays older version of wmv but not 3gp
IMO, US $20 for yxflash is a bit too high. $5 would be more reasonable.
Neither one is perfect.

Yeah lying that it’s free is false advertising and in the Uk that’s illegal. Sounds like a data miner, be careful peeps you don’t need some shmuck taking your numbers, pictures and calling and text info. I’m gonna wait til app store has one and guarantees my info is safe. This apps far too unstable to be someones released project it seems to be a slap dash attempt at hooking people in for their private info when they register. Don’t download!

yxflash is slow while playing .wmvs streaming. An update would be great.

Hello, i have installed the app. It was not problem. Then i have copy an xvid file into this directory: var/root/media with the program iphone folder. After i have started this program and search the file i dont find it in this folder. I look in all folders but i dont find the xvid. I have the firmware 3.1.2. Can you help me where i must copy the mediafile on Iphone to play it, so that the partion of 32 GB is use??? Thank you very much for help.

I am trying it with 3.1.2 firmware but the video is very lag (for a large file probably). A xvid video with size of a CD is not watchable.

January 9th, 2010 at 7:22 am
The app works ok? but video quality is not very good: 7 out of 10. i removed it. I’ll rather convert to m4v and watch at best quality.
