Said about MPlayerX as an alternative
Because it's a movie player, for chrissake, you idiots
MPV It's the best media player for Mac, it behaves like a native mac app, the same beautiful design of QuickTime but reads a lot of video formats, I highly recommend MPlayerX!

MplayerX looks exactly like Quicktime X, which was probably the developer's original intention. And that's not a bad thing.
It looks better than VLC and is more Mac-like, and yes years ago I recommended it; it really was the better way to play videos and audios on a Mac. But now ...
Now it's a buggy piece of software and it was devastated by the developer, finally to adware. It comes with an installer (on a Mac!), which tries to install Yahoo, Opera and other things on your Mac. I don't know, why there is still a donation button on the site.
I'm really sorry for the destruction of this great project.
