Feature Request: IINA Player for Mac OS

I have a suggestion to add new Mac OS Player called IINA https://lhc70000.github.io/iina/ Actually it can open any stream even without streamlink - You can just open channel url https://www.twitch.tv/*username* and even twitch vods! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/*vodnumber*

As IINA creator says it is based on MPV, but I can’t use it even if MPV profile is checked in GUI settings.

I know that IINA is still in beta but it works well with no crashes at all. It will be nice to use it.

Please show exactly how it should be 😃

E: I guess the problem is the pipe? how do I do that in config.

Basically do exactly what I wrote in my answer, then it should work. If you’re not using the GUI but config file for streamlink it would be

player=/Applications/IINA.app/Contents/MacOS/iina-cli
player-args={playerinput}-stdin

Of course if you have “iina” available in your PATH you can make the first line to read just player=iina The “pipe” you’re referring to is just the standard input pipe and is the default behavior of streamlink so no need to specify that. But the problem is that you have to use the variable {playerinput} somewhere inside of player-args or it won’t work correctly and IINA will crash.

the last version of IINA wont accept old args anymore… to work properly now you should try streamlink --stdout https://www.twitch.tv/fftbattleground best --twitch-low-latency | iina --stdin
