About MPlayerX: AppStore or website?

Hi there,


I hope my question is in the right forum.


I recently downloaded MPlayerX (as an alternative to VLC).


I first checked on the AppStore where it is available for $1.99:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mplayerx/id421131143?mt=12

On the description it says to go directly on the mplayerx website to download the latest version. As recommended I then checked this website where the application is... free (so why should I pay on the Appstore?)


So I decided to get it for free, as a dmg file, from the mplayerx website download page:

http://mplayerx.org/download.html#sthash.TURfp989.dpbs


But after installing the software, I noticed that MacKeeper was then also present in the applications folder on my MacBook!!!

So what would be the difference between the $1,99 version on the AppStore and the free version on the website? is the Mplayerx website corrupted? Is the MPlayerX app I downloaded corrupted? Why would they integrate this MacKeeper app in their dmg?


Note that MplayerX looks to be running fine on my computer so far (fingers crossed) and I managed to get rid of MacKeeper (via Terminal).

I just wonder if I should also get rid of MPlayerX now and get the AppStore version instead...


Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), MPlayerX

Thanks for your quick answer.


Well, I am more than 100% sure I didn't have MacKeeper before.

Looking at some other forums, it looks like I'm not the only one to have been had:

https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/3900n9/mplayerx_mackeeper/

Note that I downloaded MPlayerX two days ago...


Why do I want an alternative to VLC?

Well, I've been a VLC fan for years. But anytime there is a scene with a lot of details (such as an action movie with explosions, loud noise, etc), the picture freezes with lots of pixels on the screen for a few seconds. It is juts annoying (VLC and everything is up to date on my Macbook). I also often use subtitles (I'm French) and I didn't find a proper way to make them work with Quicktime, reason why I chose to go with MPlayerX which looks great according to online reviews.


Anyway, so you say the download link from the Mplayer webpage is safe?

Would you recommend to keep the MPlayerX I have or should I delete it as I did with MacKeeper?


Thank you!
