Last time i used it, this "modern" video player didn't have casting support(which vlc does) and since they're based on mpv that refused to implement chromecast they also do not have chromecast support. they don't even have it on their roadmap. has that changed? because anything less would mean a hard pass from me

- ubercow13 8y agompv is a video player, vlc is in addition a streaming media server. It seems right that mpv shouldn't be implementing something like chromecasting. Have you tried implementing a simple cast function as a lua script? Seems like it should be quite simple using another command line casting tool, at least for local files.
- kkarakk 8y agoif i'm doing it myself why do i need IINA? these things are just niceties i know but the competition has the niceties built in
- ubercow13 8y agoThe competition has a different goal and focus, and what you miss out on in return is an abosolute focus on video playback quality and correctness, which vlc seems to have a reputation for falling behind on compared to mpv. For example vlc doesn't have colour management functionality
- kkarakk 8y agoi understand mac is a preferred tool for video editors and thus color management may be considered to be a high priority but as a software professional whose only dealings with color are "set contrast to high", this product seems pretty much the same as vlc to me
