VIX Player
VIX Player is a lightweight media player for macOS designed to play FLV (Flash Video) files and other video formats. It provides basic playback controls and support for streaming media. The app is primarily used by users who need to work with FLV-encoded content, which was common in web video distribution before modern formats like MP4 and WebM became standard.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about VIX Player's development status or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. The app's bundle ID and lack of visible web presence suggests it may be a smaller or older project. Given that September 2028 is approximately 28 months away and Apple is removing Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28, it is important to clarify the situation soon. Contact the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned, or check the vendor's website for current status. If the project appears abandoned or if no native build is forthcoming, consider switching to a more actively maintained media player with native Apple Silicon support — VLC, Infuse, or Plex are all free or freemium options that handle a wide variety of formats including FLV and run natively on M-series Macs.
