Whatever rough edges it still possesses, which mostly seem to encompass the aforementioned typos in its user interface and online documentation, will likely get sanded down over time. Open-source volunteers have nearly or entirely translated it into more than 20 languages.
IINA YOUTUBE FULL
IINA is fast, free, and full of fantastic features. Enabling these requires disabling IINA's hardware acceleration I didn't notice a difference in performance quality either way.
IINA YOUTUBE PROFESSIONAL
If you're incredibly picky for some reason, you can even import a professional 3D LUT color-correction file to tweak the colors of whatever you're watching.
IINA YOUTUBE TV
(Note that I couldn't seem to get some of these filters to work on some file types, particularly MPEG transport streams.) Don't like that weird network logo in the corner of your TV recordings? IINA's "Delogo" filter will … well, it'll try to scrub it out from the area you designate, though the results will leave a weird smear of blurry pixels in its place. IINA even offers various amusing but probably unnecessary video filters, whether you just want to make the picture negative, rotate it, or invert it. And yes, I said "audio files" up there - IINA can handle them, too, and will automatically switch to a "music mode" with a small window displaying controls and album art in the corner of your screen. Assuming you've got a decent file structure set up for your multimedia library, you're rarely more than a click away from whatever you'd most likely want to watch next.

IINA's Quick Settings Panel offers a resplendent array of video, audio, and subtitle options without ever having to pause or leave the video window. Need to capture a still from a video you're watching? Screenshots are, no pun intended, a snap - just hit cmd-S at any time, in any video. Sure, IINA supports multiple video and audio tracks, and can switch between them on the fly, but why stop there when you could get luxurious? Fancier features here include sliders to shift the timing of subtitles or audio by up to five seconds in either direction a full equalizer for audio and on-the-fly picture adjustments including brightness, contrast, and gamma.

When you're actually watching a video, you can access IINA's absurdly accommodating options for video, audio, and subtitles through its pop-out Quick Settings Panel. You can even specify how you want subtitles to look, right down to colors, fonts, and drop shadows. (One of mine showed up as an option even on different movies several folders away.) You can tell IINA to prioritize subtitle files with certain filenames or to look first in a particular folder if you've got a single spot where you stash your subtitle tracks. (Image credit: Nathan Alderman for iMore)Īnd if you do have local subtitle tracks on hand, IINA will doggedly find them and offer them to you. IINA offers robust subtitle support, including online subtitle searches and a dogged determination to find and offer EVERY SINGLE SUBTITLE FILE on your drive. Find a subtitle track you really like? You can save it to your computer from IINA's Subtitle menu in the menubar. But you can choose the more multilingual in IINA's preferences, and specify any of a host of languages as your preferred subtitle option in the same pane. Note that since IINA originates in China, by default many of these subtitles will be, well, Chinese. It can search the web for third-party subtitles to any file, manually or automatically, and begin playing them in seconds.
IINA YOUTUBE MOVIE
Speaking of subtitles, if you're playing a movie file, need a subtitle track, but for some reason don't have one, IINA has you covered. Note, however, that IINA can't work similar magic on sites like Netflix or Hulu. IINA blessedly skipped the ads that showed up before YouTube's videos on the web, and it included subtitles when the online video did. Selections from YouTube and Vimeo loaded with just a few seconds' buffering and looked stellar at normal resolution or in full screen.

I am Jack's slick, Mac-standard interface.
