Think of this as a way to completely remove all traces of Perian after you've uninstalled it.* Created by Graham Booker on 7 / 10 / 09.
#Github perian windows
Close Your Finder windows and reboot OS X.Quicktime Player says ‘converting’ in the video window for a couple of seconds then gives you a dialogue box saying it cannot play the FLAC file after all.
#Github perian software
The problem is that FLAC files still are read as a 'musical' MIME type - or something - by Finder. I uninstalled this now apparently useless framework by clicking the Uninstall button in preferences, then removing the prefpane and rebooting.
I understand that Perian is (a) not being developed by its creators anymore and (b) it doesn't work on 10.9/Mavericks even though someone appears to releasing updates to it on GitHub (gathering from trying Perian on 10.9, none of said updates seem to be related to 10.9 support).
