What is IINA?
IINA is born to be a modern macOS application, from its framework to user interface. It adopts the post-Yosemite design language and keeps up the pace of new technologies like Force Touch, Touch Bar and Picture-in-Picture.
Revolutionary user experience.
IINA simplified a lot of user interactions. In addition of traditional cascaded menus, it prefer using interactive UI components and gestures to give you intuitive, flexible and powerful control of the playback.
Powerful functionality.
Based on mpv, one of the most powerful media player projects ever, IINA supports almost all common media types (even GIF) and stably output high-quality video that optimized for retina screen. MPV's config file and script system are also integrated.

Comments and Reviews
IINA is like VLC’s feature set meets QuickTime’s simplicity and OS integration. It’s the best generic video player for macOS by a BIG margin.
The UI is so minimalistic and has beautiful UI with a lot of hidden power, since being based on MPV.
I also like the fact that there is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox to allow you to launch media into the app.
IINA is an absolute wonder to use. My choice of media player over VLC.
Great features and just works.
This is THE Mac media player.
Everyone talks about the look. If you try it, you’ll talk about the ease of use.
I’ll focus on something else. The program is entirely modifiable! Hanging in skipping forests or back? Or bad internet? Gigantic file? Increase the buffer size. Don’t like the subtitles? Change them. Filters for black and white? Yep! Forced aspect ratio? Yep. Fine tune playback speed? Yep.
The one big thing this has, where VLC can fail, is pre buffering a file. That is, scanning the file and placing it in ram, rather than playing it from disk. This is extra useful for fixed files like WMV, Chunked files like transport streams Gigantic files like 8K video at 50mbps or higher.
If VLC has ever paused, frozen, or choked on a file, and you have MacOS: try this.
I like iina because it's based on MPV and doesn't need a lot of configuration to use
A modern take on the not so modern concept of a "media player"
