Unless you follow all the links in our Watchlist items, you may have missed this ominous message in Apple’s release notes for Final Cut Pro 10.4.6 (see “Final Cut Pro X 10.4.6, Compressor 4.4.4, and Motion 5.4.3,” 22 March 2019):

Detects media files that may be incompatible with future versions of macOS after Mojave and converts them to a compatible format.

That’s right, Apple is dropping support for some media formats in the next major release of macOS because the old QuickTime 7 framework isn’t 64-bit friendly. Here are some of the more common ones that were previously supported by third-party software relying on the QuickTime 7 framework:

  • 3ivx MPEG-4
  • Cinepak
  • DivX
  • Flash Video
  • Perian collection of codecs (such as Microsoft MPEG-4, DivX, 3ivx, VP6, and VP3)
  • RealVideo
  • Windows Media Video 7, 8, 9
  • Xiph.org’s Theora Video

If you are using the 'all' settings interface select Input/Codecs Video Codecs FFmpeg and make sure that Hardware decoding is set to automatic instead to enable acceleration this way. Click on the save button afterward and restart the media player to work with the new setting. Try playing several video files that use different formats to. Apr 28, 2020  for a veteran video player, VLC just doesn't cut it for media playback superiority. Has anyone here tried The KMPlayer. It's feature-rich and gives you a lot of options on how you play your media. It can play virtually any media file available. For those non-technical users, setup is very easy.

Thankfully, the industry has now largely settled on H.264 and H.265. But if you’re used to dealing with transcoding video (or let’s be honest, downloading it from shadowy sources), you’re probably wincing right now. And even if you aren’t, you may very well have old videos in obscure formats, as might have happened with video taken with a flip phone.

There are many open-source video players, the most popular being VLC, but there’s one that’s both better and Mac-exclusive: IINA. It’s free, it’s open-source, it’s built for the Mac (written in Swift even!), and it hit 1.0 at the end of 2018 (I’m reviewing version 1.03). What’s not to love?

Building on MPlayer, mpv, and FFmpeg

In the 2000s, MPlayer (not to be confused with the media player for Windows or the gaming service from the late 1990s—yes, I’ve used all three) was the gold standard for video playback in the open-source world. That project has mostly been abandoned and superseded by mpv, a Unix command-line video player that offers unmatched performance and extensibility.

What does this have to do with IINA? Well, mpv is the engine that drives IINA. If you fancy yourself a Terminal wiz, you can easily install mpv on your Mac any number of ways, with my favorite being Homebrew. You’ll have to run mpv from Terminal, which offers some advantages, but for most of us, those don’t outweigh the convenience of a graphical interface. Thankfully, the installation of IINA doesn’t require anything fancy; just open the disk image and drag the app to your Applications folder.

Since mpv is based on the free software project FFmpeg, it supports all the file formats and codecs that FFmpeg can handle, which is just about everything you can imagine, including the formats Apple is discarding.

Where is the installation? I downloaded the Vmware Vcenter VIM setup 6.0 DVD and do not see the install on the disk? I do see the VSphere desktop client install but no 'web client'. Do I need to upgrade VCenter server to 6.0 and download the web client from it? Is VCenter server 6.0 backward compatible? Can I manage an ESXi 5.1 host with VCenter server 6? VSphere Web Client 6.0U3 SDK vSphere Web Client SDK for Java, Flex and HTMLThe vSphere Web Client SDK allows to create UI and server extensions to the vSphere Web Client, using Flex or HTML on the front-end and Java in the middle tier. Vsphere web client 6.0 download. The VMware Compatibility Guide lists both ESXi 5.5-based and ESXi 6.0-based drivers as supported with ESXi 6.0. See Knowledge Base article 2111492. Note: Important information regarding the use of Download Manager with certain Browser and OS combinations.

The astute among you will point out that VLC is also based on FFmpeg, so why bother switching? Well, they’re both free, so it’s not an either/or situation, but I’ll let you see what both look like in action. IINA is on the left, VLC on the right:

While VLC has to provide a cross-platform interface for the Mac, Windows, Linux, and even OS/2, IINA is made solely for the Mac, so as a Mac user, you’ll be immediately familiar with its conventions. For instance, you’ll probably recognize the Apple picture-in-picture icon, and clicking the gear icon displays all the key video settings in one place.

Favorite IINA Features

I’m sure if I compared IINA and VLC’s features, VLC would win. It has been in development for many years, while IINA just hit 1.0. But IINA offers all the essentials and then some, and most importantly, Mac users will have no trouble finding them. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by VLC, launching IINA is a breath of fresh air.

Vlc stop resizing on loop

But I don’t want to give the impression that IINA is lacking in features. It still offers more than you’ll likely ever need. Here are three of my favorites.

Picture-in-Picture

Since IINA is made for the Mac, it supports the native macOS picture-in-picture feature, introduced in 10.12 Sierra. Just click the picture-in-picture icon to shrink the video into a miniature window that anchors to one of the four corners of the screen and stays on top. You could also choose Video > Float on Top if you just want to keep the video on top, but the system picture-in-picture feature works well for watching a video while you’re working.

YouTube Player

Another neat feature of IINA is that it can play YouTube videos. Copy a YouTube URL and choose File > Open URL in New Window and paste the URL. (VLC can do this as well.)

What’s the upside of playing YouTube videos in IINA instead of the browser? For starters, it makes it easy to play videos picture-in-picture. And while it’s difficult to resize a YouTube video within a browser window, IINA makes it as easy as resizing a window. And of course, IINA lets you control YouTube videos with your media keys.

Sure, there are ways to do all of that inside a browser, but IINA is an all-in-one solution.

Music Mode

It seems like everyone streams their music these days, but many of us still have gigabytes of MP3 and AAC audio files. Unfortunately, there aren’t many simple music players for the Mac—iTunes has largely crowded them out, even though it has been a hot mess for years.

Most video players can also play audio, but it’s usually clumsy. The IINA developers did something clever and implemented Music Mode. You can invoke it by choosing Video > Music Mode, but it also activates automatically if you open a music file or a folder containing music files.

What’s different about Music Mode? The display window shrinks down to show just the album art and playback controls. You can optionally hide the art and show the playlist if you wish. It’s a nice, lightweight music player if you’re fed up with the bloat of iTunes.

Those are just a few of the things I appreciate about IINA.

In any case, I recommend keeping both VLC and IINA on your Mac for when you encounter videos in obscure formats, especially now that Apple will be dropping support for many of them.

The latest version of the VideoLAN VLC media player has a new feature that allows you to continue the playback of the media file where you stopped it the last time. For example, if you play a video in VLC media player but close the VLC player window before watching the whole video, then the next time you open that same video, VLC will ask you whether you want to restart the playback where it was left off. This is very annoying if you do not want to resume the playback from the same place. Besides the notification appears only for a split second and only a person with really nimble fingers can hit the Continue button in time.

Fortunately it is very easy to disable the restart/continue playback notification in the VLC media player:

  1. Launch VLC media player and then select Tools → Preferences from the menubar. Alternatively, you can also press the hotkey Ctrl+P to open the preferences.
  2. In the preferences window choose to display the Simple preferences at the very bottom of the window.
  3. Select the Interface tab and then uncheck the checkbox labeled Continue playback.
  4. Click on the Save button to save the preferences and close the preferences window.

Now if you re-open a video file in VLC media player without finishing it the first time, VLC will no longer bother you with the prompts to resume the playback of that video. If you want to find out where you left off, then you can use the old school method of fast forwarding and checking which parts of a video you haven’t watched till now. This can be done very easily using the hotkey Ctrl + Right which skips the frame one minute at a single keypress. For longer jumps in the time line, you can use the hotkey Ctrl + Alt + Right which jumps 5 minutes into the time line.
