I’ve long been a user of QuickTime Alternative, as a much lighter alternative to the full Apple QuickTime. Sadly QT Alternative (and its cousin QT Lite) hasn’t been updated in over a year, whilst QuickTime has received several security and bug fixes. Updating QT Lite is a straightforward process which I will detail below. I have also built an updated installer which is available on the [intlink id=“741” type=“page”]صفحة التحميل[/intlink]. This installer is based on Apple QuickTime 7.7.3 (28-ديسمبر، 2012)
الأول, a quick note — QT Lite and QuickTime alternative are the same thing — the only difference being that QuickTime Alternative includes Media Player Classic. Both versions are based on QuickTime 7.6.9. I would suggest avoiding QuickTime Alternative, وبدلا من ذلك, installing an up-to-date version of Media Player Classic — Home Cinema, which you can find linked from the downloads page.
The files installed by QT Lite are directly from the QuickTime installer. They can be extracted, and copied over the top of the files installed by QT Lite to update to the latest version. Below I will list the procedure for extraction and the files required for anyone that wishes to complete the update manually (بدلاً من استخدام المثبت الجديد). Please also note that I haven’t found a way to extract the browser plugins without actually installing QuickTime — but I don’t recommend installing the browser plugin anyway. If you do want to install the browser plugin then see the section at the bottom of this article.
The easy way — my updated installer
Download from the downloads page
The manual way — 1. استخراج الملفات من كويك تايم
- Download the QuickTime installer from تفاحة، مدينة، قط
- Download the QT Lite installer from FileHippo
- Extract the QuickTime installer files from the downloaded file with WinRAR, or by running
QuicktimeInstaller.exe /extract
- استعمال lessMSI لاستخراج quicktime.msi إلى مجلد جديد
- Browse to the new folder — you should see 1 msi و 2 المجلدات
- تصفح إلى c:\ملفات البرنامج كويك تايم (ج:\ملفات البرنامج (إلى x86)\كويك تايم على أنظمة x64)
- The “QTSystem” folder contains all the files you need — copy it to somewhere (e.g. your documents folder)
The manual way — 2. المكونات الإضافية للمتصفح [خطوة اختيارية]
- Uninstall any previous versions of quicktime or quicktime lite
- Run the standard quicktime installer and install quicktime
- تصفح إلى c:\ملفات البرنامج كويك تايم (ج:\ملفات البرنامج (إلى x86)\كويك تايم على أنظمة x64)
- The “plugins” folder contains all the files you need — copy it to somewhere (e.g. your documents folder)
- Uninstall quicktime, application support, and apple software update from the control panel
The manual way — 3. تركيب وتحديث QTLite
- Install QTLite
- Copy the QTSystem folder you copies earlier into c:\ملفات البرنامج QT Lite
- When you’re asked about merging and over-writing, قل نعم
The manual way — 4. تحديث المكونات الإضافية للمتصفح [خطوة اختيارية]
- If you do want browser plugins, and you copied them from quicktime earlier then read on
- Copy the “Plugins” folder you copied earlier
- For Firefox copy it to c:\program files\mozilla firefox and say yes to any merging/over-writing
- بالنسبة إلى Chrome ، انسخه إلى c:\program files\google\chrome and say yes to any merging/over-writing
- There are probably similar steps for other browsers, لكني لم أتحقق منها حتى الآن.
كيف صنعت المثبت
- استخراج الملفات كما هو مفصل في الخطوات 1 and 3 above
- Extract the QTLite installer with “Universal Extractor" (a version of UE with up-to-date prerequisites can be obtained from ajuaOnline)
- قم أيضًا بتثبيت ملفات InnoSetup (the unicode version) — we’ll need it
- قم بالكتابة فوق الملفات الموجودة في ملف {تطبيق}\مجلد نظام QTS مع الملفات المحفوظة مسبقًا
- قم بالكتابة فوق الملفات الموجودة في ملف {تطبيق}\Plugins folder with the ones saved earlier (some renaming and duplicating is required, يجب أن يكون هذا واضحًا)
- Copy the files from plugins to various other locations (الكثير منهم)
- Remove the “check” part of lines 631 and 632
