MMPlayer for watch pro

If you are here like me, you found through Google that this app is the only way to sync and playback audio or video files directly to your Apple Watch without iTunes or the built-in Music app. With Apple moving to a more open file system, it is strange the Watch is still so locked down to iTunes. MMPlayer is the answer. Getting it working, however, can take some doing, so here are some pointers: 1. I urge you to change MMPlayer’s default folder to your local storage on your iPhone. Go to your iPhone’s settings app, scroll down and traverse into MMPlayer’s settings, and set “Document Storage” to “On My iPhone.” 2. In MMPlayer, under Browser, copy your media files to the root (top) location of your MMPlayer folder. This should be under On My iPhone->MMPlayer. 3. This is the trickiest part since it is readily apparent. Before you can copy these files to your Watch, you need to have these files listedunder the MMPlayer tab in the app. You might think, I copied the files to the app folder, so why are they not being listed in the MMPlayer tab so I can copy them? Answer: swipe down to refresh. The app will scan its folder and then populate all the valid files.

*** UPDATE - it is now possible to transfer files of any size to the watch using the WiFi transfer mode. Follow the pop up notes. A little weird not being able to select which files - it’s all or none up to 50 files at a time. You can have more in the queue just upload first 50, hit delete all and repeat. This is one more critical step in making Apple watch 3 independent of iPhone. Watching videos and hearing audio over built in speaker is great also. Would like to see the files sorted though. It is a random listing that makes tv series (Night Court and Wings) hard to follow in sequence, they do not end up in order. But small problem compared to having video on the watch! Thank you for your hard work!!!

I can’t believe Apple wouldn’t give us the option to play music on the watch’s speaker, because it actually sounds great (series 4). Thank you for this app, it’s super-useful! I hope you continue to develop the interface. If I could request just one small update: make the “order/random” button the same size as the other ones 🤗

Listening to audio or video from the built-in speaker of apple watch gives us a wonderful user experience without having to use any bluetooth headset or earphone. Please keep updating the functionality to render excellent value for watch users. Thank you for your hard work and time.

I have not had one problem with the app so far even with long videos The only thing is it Doesn’t scale properly to the bigger screen so there is thick borders around the edges and doesn’t make full use of the screen other than that it’s great
