i've used VLC, but i prefer this simplicity.


hmm I'm confused, whats the sell with inaa compared to vlc?


I’ve had less files that refuse to play using iina then vlc, also iina had none of that weird grey artifacting you get with vlc skipping/scrubbing through video (like actually how is that still a problem with vlc and vlc only). Those are the main technical reasons, but the ui is also much better/native feeling


IINA uses mpv so the compatiblity is much higher. VLC is kinda bad but works for "most people".


Native UI, blending into OS so you stop noticing it.


Honestly I've been having more problems with vlc than with mpv, on Linux and macOS.


I love VLC but I have two problems with it:

1. Bluetooth audio does not play correctly the first second, often.

2. When pressing a random key accidentally, it is sometimes difficult to recover from the settings-change that it caused, and often a restart of the entire program is necessary.
