New year has come… but it causes a problem with DivX Player for Mobile. Some of you may have noticed that we can no longer run DivX Player for Mobile since new year came (see screenshot below).
I have tried to download the latest DivX Player for Mobile from their web site, but no luck. It seems the developers have not released a new version yet.
Is there workaround for this?
- Firstly, I would recommend to use RealPlayer for now. As I said in my earlier posting, DivX Player or RealPlayer?, the current version of DivX Player is not stable enough. This might be another reason not to use DivX for now. Let’s wait until the final version has been released. Just for your information, RealPlayer can play MPEG-4 videos too (read also my other posting, Converting Your Videos to RealPlayer).
- Change the date to 2006. This may not be a solution, but DivX Player can still be run if the date is some time in 2006.
To developers of DivX Player for Mobile: Is there any plan to release a new version soon? As you can see from the discussion in this blog, there are a lot of DivX fans.
Compatible devices: S60 2nd, 3rd Edition, Nokia Nseries, Nokia Eseries.
Update (10-Jan-2007): The updated version of DivX Player for Mobile has been released.
