MPlayerXis a potentially unwanted browser extension for the Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser. This unwanted browser extensions use popups and inline-text advertisements as 'Ads by MPlayerX' or 'Powered by MPlayerX' to promote intrusive in-text ads and push web-traffic through or to a specific website to make revenue using pay-per-click ads. The ads produced by MPlayerXare often used to send web-traffic to partners in order to make revenue using affiliates through advertisement network domains and other suspicious domains.
Download MPlayerX for free. An easy way to enjoy your favorite multimedia collection. MPlayerX is armed by FFmpeg and MPlayer, which means it could handle almost any media format in the world for you and no extra plug-ins or codec packages are required. Just drop anything to it, MPlayerX will give you a clear and smooth playback. I have been using this MplayerX since 2009 and i'll consider this media player as primary to VLC media player. I want to thank the developer who've built the awesomeness media player for free and sadly this MAS version will not be updated forever due to the sandboxing requirement doesn't meet the media player which may loss lot of best feature.
What does MPlayerX do ?
Adware like MPlayerX can display and download advertisements and may be considered dangerous for your privacy. Adware is not harmful in any way like a backdoor or rootkit, but adware tracks your computer's internet behavior to promote unwanted pop-ups advertisements, or redirects to unwanted or even malicious webpages. The ads will display green or blue underlined keywords that will show pop-up advertisements, inline-text ads, obtrusive advertising, ad overlays or any other unwanted ads or pop-ups in your browsers. Possible pop-ups may vary from legit advertisements with offers, deals, coupons, price comparison or pop-ups that offer a Java, Media Player or Flash Player update in order to install more adware into your computer.

How to prevent MPlayerX ?
It is advised to always read the End User License Agreements (EULA) or Terms and Agreements before installing software on your computer (We know, the EULA's are often long.guess why.). Do never click too fast through the installation process [Next] button of software as you will agree to software you might not want to install. If the installer offers an Advanced, Custom or Decline button, click it to find out if there is any other malicious software offered and installed during the installation process. Also remember to check pre populated checkboxes during the installation, preview them before clicking to the next window of the installer.
Prevent installers as 'Fusion Install', 'Bundlore Limited', 'InstallX LLC', 'WARP Install', 'Digital Pine', 'Somoto', 'Firseria', 'Payments Interactive SL', 'Tuguu SL'.

Finally I managed to make some time to work this out.
Except the change on the look, I'd like to introduce some interesting changes internally.
1. Partial update.
Mplayerx Windows
By far, The most issues I have received is that MPlayerX was unable to play some file. Most of the time, such issue is not related with MPlayerX itself, but ffmpeg or mplayer which works as the player core inside of MPlayerX.
Mplayerx Mojave
So I introduced this so called Partial Update into 1.1.0, which enable me to update the ffmpeg/mplayer part without updatig the whole app. Hopfully It could help me to update the player core to resolve your playback issues more quickly.
