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 .
