mac player problem help

by Poster Apr 23, 2025 12
I just bought a macbook before and found a problem: using the native QuickTime player to play videos, click the full screen button to switch to full screen without lag; However, when clicking full screen when playing with IINA, the audio will still be playing, but the video screen will freeze and then switch to full screen. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can't stand this, but the native QuickTime player can't support too many formats and can't fast forward and rewind. Does anyone know what causes this and does it have anything to do with the internal engine AVFoundation/MPV used? Is there any player recommendation that supports more formats and won't have this problem?

    This is the implementation problem of iina. Try infuse

    I tried IINA and it did. It seems that I'm not obsessive compulsive enough. Moreover, I found that it didn't get stuck when I was full screen for the first time, but it almost always got stuck when I quit from full screen and when I was full screen again later; Full screen occasionally does not get stuck when exiting full screen after a little longer period of time.

    @ Anonymous13621 infuse doesn't have this problem? Does that feel because infuse uses the same AVFoundation engine as QuickTime player? Didn't @ Anonymous13980 movist pro have this problem?

    @ Anonymous14326 Can you help me try to see if videos in different formats (mp4/mkv) are not stuck, because I searched, movist pro judges whether it is decoded by AVFoundation or FFmpeg based on the file name

    @ Poster # 8 Mp4/MKV is just encapsulation, shouldn't it be related to the encoding format? I have tried mp4/mkv and it doesn't lag

    @ Anonymous14326 This is not the case. mp4/MKV is indeed just encapsulation, but Apple's native audio and video engine AVFoundation does not support the MKV format, so movist pro will use Apple's built-in AVFoundation engine for the mp4 format, and the MKV format will use FFmpeg. If there is no lag, it seems that it is not the reason for the decoding engine, but the details of the player implementation

    I tried VLC to play my existing MKV/MP4 with no problems, and it can be played smoothly in full screen/zoom out. By the way, after the VLC official website download is switched to OS X, the default download button turns out to be the intel version, and you have to pull down to switch the Apple M chip version yourself.

    @ Anonymous14294 VLC seems to use FFMPEG for all formats, and the energy consumption is not as good as the player using Apple's native AVFoundation engine
