Side question: Have you considered any different players? Like VLC Player for example, which should be able to do pretty much everything Divx Player does, and then some. Is there some reason it MUST be Divx Player? I honestly thought they stopped developing that about a decade ago.
In VLC Player I see a checkbox for disabling update checking.
Hi
This is actually my first post to the very different looking MacFixIt Forum. I hope, therefore, I have elected to use the correct area for my question!
I am running OS X 10.5.8 and am looking for a way to disable DivX web player auto update/upgrade. I am running version 1.4.1.4 of the player. I realise this is not the latest version - it is, however, the most recent version that works in any way satisfactorily. I realise there is a per session/weekly/monthly update check option but ideally I would like to completely disable the check.
I should add that I have scoured the web for a solution with, obviously, no success.
Many thanks
