I hope that these issues can be fixed with feedback, or that this breakdown will help devs finally fix this. Re-open Video X through the recently played menu The third case: Opening a file through the IINA welcome screen that was recently played (I will use "Video X") (90% reproducible) Un fullscreen the video (at this point, double clicking will no longer work to fullscreen, as described above) The second case: Opening a file through Finder when IINA is not open after quitting IINA in fullscreen from OSD (seems to be 80ish% reproducible) If this is enabled, opening a new file through Finder doesn't cause a crash, presumably because no alteration is being to the open window dragging a new file onto the window still causes the crash)Īpp crashes and throws "NSInvalidArgumentException" I never want more than one instance of IINA open at a time.
#Iina vs vlc full
The first case: Changing which file is playing while in legacy full screen (100% reproducible)ĭrag a new file onto the window OR open a new file through Finder(note: "Always open media in new window" is disabled. Here is a github thread of a user experiencing what I perceive to be similar issues: Thread was merged, issue does not seem resolved. If I want it to full-screen after that, I must use the button on the OSD (on-screen display) to make it happen. If I use native fullscreen, my menu bar is visible at the top, which is very distracting.Īlso, I will note that double-clicking the window fails to full-screen the video after full-screening it for the first time. However, there seems to be huge crashing issues (and issues in general) when ticking "Use legacy fullscreen mode" which is something I absolutely want I have disabled menu bar autohide system-wide, and I don't want to have to switch out of it every time I watch a video. That's why it is set as my default video app and I'm probably gonna toss VLC in the trash. I am curious if others are able to reproduce this disparity, and what the opinions are regarding the picture quality.Ĭonsidering this and the better UI, scrubbing, etc., it seems like IINA is clearly superior, and I think for the most part, it is. To me, it's pretty obvious that IINA looks better, and VLC looks muddy. I have already tried the following: changing the output, using the native-full screen, disabling deinterlacing, and probably a bunch of other random settings, but to no avail.
#Iina vs vlc driver
It may be a codec issue, non-native display driver issue, or something over my head. Both my installations of VLC and IINA are up-to-date (in the case of IINA, I have tried both 1.1.2 and the 1.2.0 beta).įirst off, VLC seems to be playing video badly (don't know how else to describe it) whereas with IINA everything looks correct.
#Iina vs vlc pro
For reference, I am on a 2021 MacBook Pro 16-in on Monterey 12.1. VLC and IINA are clearly the premier video players for MacOS and are the most-used for a reason but they both just have some deal breaking bugs/issues, and they seem (according to tons of internet searches) to have been present for quite a while. Most recent progress is at the bottom.īefore anyone gets the wrong impression, I appreciate the work put in by both dev teams and obviously I couldn't do any better. The current mission is finding an HDR media player that has a usable UI, isn't exorbitantly priced, and has good picture quality.
VLC tone mapping with HDR sucks, and there isn't really a solution, and IINA crashing is fixed in the nightly release and iina-plus, but the picture quality is oversaturated and the shadows lose all detail. *I struck through a majority of the original post, because those issues are no longer the ones I'm trying to deal with.
