A wonderful player! Very reactive and customizable.
The only thing I wish it had is Airplay support.
"Powered by the open source media player mpv"
I'll just cut out the middleman and keep using mpv. "Post-Yosemite design language" is not a plus to me, and the rest are gimmicks.
Looks nice but a quick test show me the same result than with any other player: it consumes a lot more CPU than QuickTime to decode a simple H264 movie in a m4v file.
@Jean-Daniel This really shouldn't be the case because Apple is known to HW accelerate H.264 decoding. And it should be available in devices for many generations. May be file a bug report to dev? Or try doing it in mpv to see if the same happens. I have been using IINA for over a year and haven't seen any problem with high CPU resources.
Note: Unless your h264 files are 4K or encoded in profile not supported by the older Mac HW acceleration list.
