cinexplayer on the iphone?
OK so with the ipad being able to play native xvid etc... movies not having to convert them over for the iphone would be a great thing (if it would work). so what to try, and please forgive me if i'm being to naive about this. anyway so i went downloaded the cinexplayer for the ipad. went into windows explorer found it and renamed it with a zip extension. i then extracted the files and moved over the cinexplayer.app to the iphone. checked permissions on the folder, yup 755. then went and installed agent faker, told it to fake ipad for cinexplayer. resprung the iphone and nothing.
ok i am sure there is a lot more to getting it going but can anyone give me any hints or help out in what direction to head next?
btw iphone 3gs ios 4.0.1

MPlayer from Cydia if your Jailbroken...
If not, then I'm not sure. I know people have transfered the iPad's netflix app to the iPhone, so I'm pretty sure it's at least possible.
Sorry I can't be of more help!

Cinexplayer on Iphone
Hello,
I have gotten CineXPlayer to work on my Iphone 4. Please follow the directions below and you should be able to get it running. These directions were taken from Sinful Iphone's Netflix directions, but modified to work for Cinexplayer (http://www.*****************/showthread.php?t=25731).
The only downside I see so far is the player controls are not centered on screen. You can access the rewind and pause button but not the fast forward button.
1. Download the CineXPlayer App from iTunes
2. Locate the IPA (right click in itunes and do show in explorer)
3. Copy it to another location.
4. Rename the extension of the file from .ipa to .zip and extract it.
5. Go to CineXPlayer 1.1.ipa (extracted folder/payload/CineXPlayer.app)
6. Open the info.plist file. (use a plist editor, google it )
7. Change:
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.nxp.software.xvidplayer</string>
To:
HTML Code:
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.nxp.software.xvidplayeriPod</string>
Change:
HTML Code:
<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
<array>
<integer>2</integer>
</array>
To:
HTML Code:
<key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
<array>
<integer>1</integer>
</array>
8. Now leave the CineXPlayer.app folder and move up another level so you see iTunesMetadata.plist.
9. Open iTunesMetadata.plist.
10. Change:
HTML Code:
<key>softwareSupportedDeviceIds</key>
<array>
<integer>9</integer>
</array>
To:
HTML Code:
<key>softwareSupportedDeviceIds</key>
<array>
<integer>1</integer>
</array>
Change:
HTML Code:
<key>softwareVersionBundleId</key>
<string>com.nxp.software.xvidplayeriPod</string>
To:
HTML Code:
<key>softwareVersionBundleId</key>
<string>com.nxp.software.xvidplayeriPod</string>
11. Re-zip the Payload folder, iTunesArtwork, and iTunesMetadata.plist into a zip folder called CineXPlayer 1.1.ipa and change the extension to .ipa
12. Re-add the ipa to iTunes. iTunes should see it as a new application and put it in the apps for iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPad apps category, not the iPad only category.
13. Install the application to the iPod/iPhone via iTunes.Last edited by captjap; 08-13-2010 at 10:09 AM.

No problem. The best part about this solution is you don't have to be jailbroken.

When I try to add the IPA back to iTunes, I get the error "this is not a valid application".

the one problem i did see with the code is the double << you only need one of those, if you use 2 you will probably get an error of some sort.

How can we remove an app requiring version 4.2 of iOS? I'd like to set it down to version 4.1 instead ...is that possible?
