> IINA - The modern media player for macOS.
nomilk•1h ago
Happy* IINA user here. I use youtube keybindings + 'video speed controller' (chrome extension) keybindings for quick speed up/down/reset and skipping back/forward through videos).

* It did have a problem with crazy power consumption, but I think that's been fixed (haven't noticed the problem for a few months).

i've used VLC, but i prefer this simplicity.

hmm I'm confused, whats the sell with inaa compared to vlc?

A new MacOS player it seems?

I just recently switched to Infuse 8 after buying a couple Apple TV boxes. The network sharing + iCloud timestamp syncing between my phone/macbook/multiple TVs is the best thing ever. My macbook is basically a media server for every device in my house. No need for annoying plex servers.

Not that new, I've been using IINA for years! It's pretty good.

IINA has been around for quite a while, it's a front end for mpv. Pretty much Just Werks, it's my standard video playback client.

Ah, I'll try it out thanks. I tried out https://mpv.io/ but wasn't a big fan.

mpv is a nice piece of tech, a solid foundation for a player. IINA agapts it to feel native on macOS, and it does amazing job at that.

It's a player of the ffmpeg lineage; a GUI frontend for mpv. If you use mpv or some frontend (e.g., SMPlayer, Celluloid, or Haruna) on other platforms, IINA is a natural choice on macOS.

It's free software, it's keyboard friendly, it supports more of less every format, and it blends into the OS's native desktop environment. I don't have an eye for design, but it seems good to me. If there's a better choice for local multimedia playback on macOS, I don't know what that is.

(It seems the only other real contender on the backend is VLC, which is likewise excellent software.)

Does VLC already support HDR content on MacOS? I switched to IINA because of that omission.

Another vote for Infuse. In my experience Infuse 8 handles HDR and color management correctly (1:1 with Safari or QuickTime), while IINA does not (too dark).

IINA is the kind of app that disappears into the background. I've used it for years and almost forgot it's not a part of the OS.

This looks amazing, I’m just desperately trying to think of a use case for a universal media player that built-in tools couldn’t have handled in the last few years. VLC used to be a staple on my machines, but it’s really been a while since I’ve seen an obscure media file…
notpushkin•1h ago
I think QuickTime still doesn’t play MKV? Anyways, I usually use IINA just for the keybindings.

With LLMs being a thing now, plugin systems like this can bring a lot of value to users, assuming the docs are easily LLM readable.

I wish more apps had Lua or JS sandboxes for plugins.
