I saw reference to IINA in an online article discussing media files and playbacking using free apps such as VLC [all normal so far] and IINA [what?? never heard of it]. So this is a Mac-only app based on mpv and written using Apple's Swift. If you're going to google it use 'mac iina' as 'iina' can lead elsewhere. Also, if someone knows what 'IINA' is an abbreviation of can they please let me know as it's driving me potty.
Binaries are available here IINA - The modern media player for macOS or build yourself from GitHub iina/iina
Have been using for around a week and I'm preferring IINA to VLC as a media player, though it lacks some of the network playback. One thing I much prefer is the Inspector window splitting info for video and audio tracks: I often want to know the audio rates and in VLC you have to disable the video track so that just the audio track data is playing.
