10.6: Enable autoplay of movies in QuickTime Player

A very helpful hint on re-enabling autoplay on the new Quicktime in Snow Leopard. This was driving me crazy!

10.6: Enable autoplay of movies in QuickTime Player: "As most people are probably aware, the new QuickTime X Player in Snow Leopard has no preferences. One of the preferences I greatly missed was to automatically start playing a movie when it was opened.



Well I'm happy to say 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.
