I just released revision 6:

Threaded integrated video display
After getting my head around how to do threading in Cocoa and some of it's shortcomings, I managed to separate the integrated video display into its own thread. This means that opening menus in the GUI will no longer block the video. If you're not very decisive when going through the menus, you might notice that the playback still stops after about 5 seconds. Not sure what's causing it, though. Might be the parsing in the main thread being blocked.
MKV chapter support
No ordered chapters but just plain old single-file chapter markers, conveniently selectable from a menu.
Fullscreen device selection
You can now select the fullscreen device from a menu, just like in VLC but better. There's an option to select the same screen the player window is on, the selection is automatically updated when the monitor configuration changes and you'll always see which monitor is implicitly or explicitly selected.
You could, for example, chose to go the the second monitor by default in the preferences. If there's no extra monitor attached, fullscreen would go to the first monitor, but as soon as a second screen gets attached, it will be automatically selected for fullscreen (only works smoothly with integrated video, though).
Updated subtitle options
Subtitle options are now always available since fontconfig will always select a font for you. The size option has been changed to allow arbitrary input and applies to ass and other subtitles as well. There's now also an option to select the default sub color and transparency.
No more "preferences changed" nag screens
Since restarting playback works pretty well, the preferences window now checks if the current movie is seekable and applies the changes without asking if so. There's now also an apply button to keep the window open for further changes.

@GreenyOSX
You could also try following command line option. It'll probably degrade quality visibly, though:

Code:

-lavdopts skiploopfilter=all

(only works for h.264 video)

@Discerptor
Your two problems should be fixed now. ^^
