Hi Eduardo!

I briefly checked smplayer Salsa git and it seems that the nag is controlled by DONATE_REMINDER define:
https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/smplayer/-/blob/master/src/basegui.h#L76

I can try patching it in Debian but I am not smplayer user so I will need some time to start smplayer for a couple of days.
