Many bugs on OS X 10.9

[briatte]

Hi,

I do not really know where to report this, but I just reverted from MPlayerX 1.1.1 to previous version 1.1.0, due to several strange bugs that appeared in the new version:

• the video is very often garbled in the first few seconds after opening a file or skipping to a different point in a file
• in several cases, switching to full screen back and forth will change the aspect ratio to something completely inconsistent
• on very rare occasions, with some MKV files, the MPlayerX icon is shown in the middle of the window and does not go away

I have experienced all these bugs under OS X 10.9. The first of them is easy to reproduce. The two others are harder, because they are much more random.

HTH

For the first issue try to disable hardware acceleration like described here: http://blog.mplayerx.org/blog/2014/01/15/how-to-turn-off-hardware-accelerated-decoder/

I get this same issue. Macbook Pro Retina 15" Late 2013 on external monitors (it is using the Nvidia Geforce GT 750M when external monitors are plugged in). OS X El Capitan 10.11.2.

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes it but uses a lot more CPU which isn't ideal. The pixelation when skipping goes away after a few seconds so doesn't bother me too much. Doesn't happen when first starting and only happens with MKV. MP4 is fine.

Also your MPlayerX 1.1.0 installer on sourceforge is installing Opti-Page browser hijacking rubbish without notification or consent. Not cool man.

Thanks for the tip, but I still don't understand where the bugs are coming from, and my experience with 1.1.0 under OS X 10.9 is just not good enough for me to upgrade.
