Enable autoplay of movies in QuickTime Player in Snow Leopard

QuickTime, Snow Leopard No Comments »

QuickTime 10As most people are probably aware, the new QuickTime X Player in Snow Leopard has no preferences.

One of the preferences is greatly missed was to automatically start playing a movie when it was opened.

But you can re-enable that behavior with the following Terminal command:

defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGPlayMovieOnOpen 1

The movie will now start when opened without you having to press the Play button.
