As a Sparkled application, MPlayerX needs an automatic count-up mechanism between versions.

1. Count up git versions

Git doesn’t provide version number, it only gives out checksum of the commits, so let’s make one.

网上类似的文章数不胜数，并且有想法自己搞这些开源玩意儿的同学想必水平也应该都在我之上，我本不该多此一举。不过记得当初为了编译出一个能够完全胜任MPlayerX的核心，我还是费了相当一些周折，这些周折如果在网上仔细调查也能得到答案，不过将它们总结到一起的文章，我还没有发现。所以我就做一个搬运工，把它们放到一起供有兴趣的同学翻阅。

我会尽力在我水平之内照顾到这篇文章的通用性，但请恕我精力有限，如果有什么出错的地方请和我联系。

Some users said they have duplicated menu items in their “Open With …” of the contextual menu, looks like

Some users want more settings, some users want more simplicity.

I think exposing all the settings in the software and stacking them to the GUI is a bad choice. Not only complicating the GUI is bad, making users make the unimportant choice is even worse.

Well, this is my choice of design.

For who does want some feature which is not available in GUI, you may find it here.

MPlayerX supports Shell script command line and AppleScript as its integration to the OS.

• For Shell script

Usage:

1

open -a /path/to/MPlayerX.app --args -name1 value1 -name2 value2 ...

Recently, many users emailed me about their failure of donation to MPlayerX.

I have conneted to the customer support of Paypal and their answer is

In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Japanese account user can’t use their account to send donation to any accounts, if you want to use your Japanese account to receive the donation, your account and your group certification will be checked.

Please click the link for solution.

Although I did successfully received the donation for almost 1 year, this year it got banned.

I have made a alternative solution, a BUY button, which you could see in the homepage now. But I’m not sure it is working, since I didn’t test it.
