How about    Movie Player for GNU/Linux  ? 
</geekjoke> 

Maybe   
"Movie Player for Linux (and many other UN*Xes) "   or MPfLamoU ?
"Movie Player for many UN*Xes including our favourite Linux"  or MPfmUiofL ?
"Movie Player for many plattforms but not Windows"  or   MPfmpbnW ?
"Movie Player without a GUI (although it's in work)" or MPwaG(aiiw) ?

Maybe "Movie Player for Linux" is enough, if you add a note on the homepage 
that it also runs on other systems. 

Nevertheless it would also be correct to call it: 

"The only(!) Movie Player for SUN Solaris"    or  To(!)MPfSS 

But I doubt that AOL will pay a million dollar for it one day, if it's called 
any of that...
