Developer Deank continues to drive forward the development of MovianM7 , the open-source media player born over a decade ago for Linux and the PlayStation 3 console , today available on a wide range of platforms including Android, Windows, macOS and embedded systems.

The application, initially conceived to transform the PlayStation 3 console into a true multimedia center, has evolved over time to become one of the most popular tools in the homebrew scene for its versatility and the constant updates that enrich its functionality.

The latest series of releases brings a real leap in quality on the technical front. With the major update identified as 7.0.194, MovianM7 has been recompiled as a single library, with ffmpeg statically linked and no longer loading dynamic libraries at startup.

A choice that allowed us to significantly reduce the size of the executable, reduce memory consumption and optimize overall performance.

The Android version has also benefited from these optimizations, with the APK file reduced to just 4.5 MB, about half the size of the previous version. At the same time, the PlayStation 3, Linux, and Chrome/NaCl versions have also been updated, bringing them in line with build 7.0.194.

Other important improvements had already arrived in the previous days, such as the correction of the audio transcoding logic for DD+ and DTS formats , more accurate buffer management to ensure synchronization and consistent quality, and improved video performance with more responsive loading indicators.

The multimedia sector also saw the introduction of support for 32-bit multi-channel PCM with bitrates up to 12 Mbit/s, a solution that allows for a significant increase in sound quality compared to traditional transcoding to DD, DD+ or DTS, while at the same time reducing the load on the CPU.

Stability and user experience improvements are also included: bugs related to the playback of audio DLC in pass-through mode have been fixed, content launch times have been optimized, memory management has been improved, and new options have been introduced to customize video playback speed and audio pitch correction.

Previous updates have already brought improvements to network connections, IPv6 support , torrent handling, and HLS streaming, resulting in faster uploads and more efficient bandwidth usage.

Android devices

MovianM7 can be installed and used on various Android devices, including Android TV, Google TV, Android tablets and Android mobile devices.

Requirements

Make sure your device is running Android or Android TV (version 5.1 or later/SDK/API 21).
Access the latest version via the permanent link: https://movian.deanbg.com/m7
