Hi guys~ I updated to Mavericks just a few days and I'm enperiencing the same duplicate-entries problem (multiple MPlayerXs) in "open with" as that on previous OS X versions. Unfortunately the Termial method didn't work this time as "No such directory exists" poped up in Termial when I tried. Can you help me?

Hello Meridianistaken,
I would try renaming or removing the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" Preference file as mentioned in:
Archived - Mac OS X: Clearing the Finder "Open With" contextual menu

Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

Thank you Nubz N.
The artical was removed but I managed to find "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" at ~Library/Preference. I can't empty trash after I delete it since "The operation can’t be completed because the item is in use." Then I changed its name and it still can't be deleted and duplicate MPlayerX entries stay the same T_T.
Have you tried restarting and then emptying the Trash? The file is likely in use and a new file will need to be created but that can only happen after a restart.
