"The StandaloneWindow module provides a way to create a separate window to display custom content. You are able to control a full-sized webview inside the window, therefore you can use HTML, CSS, and advanced techniques like WebGL to render the contents." [1] So... someone could make a Webamp[2] plugin? And Butterchurn[3] for viz? (Assuming one can plumb in a compatible audio node) [1] https://docs.iina.io/interfaces…

I was really hoping that butterchurn was a hi fidelity rendering of butter churning to the pacing and sound range of any given media that was playing

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Another vote for Infuse. In my experience Infuse 8 handles HDR and color management correctly (1:1 with Safari or QuickTime), while IINA does not (too dark).

Infuse is good, but it does not feel so well-polished for the desktop, for example, some windows for pop-up could have been a real window, but were a pop-up that blocks the main player.

Agreed. I still use it anyway because I like icloud syncing

Tried using the "Online Media" built-in plugin for a couple of trivial test cases — Youtube and archive.org — the former worked, while the latter failed, so I disabled it and switched back to yt-dlp in

  Settings => Network => Enable youtube-dl => Custom youtube-dl path => "~/.local/bin/"
because I installed yt-dlp globally through uv

  uv tool install yt-dlp
