Improved Music Mode

The music mode has been redesigned to:

• Be able to toggle display of album arts.
• Support key bindings.
• Have separate buttons to close window or return to normal mode.

A lot of bugs related to Music Mode have been fixed.

Command Line Tool

Finally, the command line tool for IINA is here. To enable it, simply add a symlink to/Applications/IINA.app/Contents/MacOS/iina-cli in your PATH:

ln -s /Applications/IINA.app/Contents/MacOS/iina-cli ~/bin/iina

Run iina --help for usage.

MediaPlayer Framework

IINA now uses the modern MediaPlayer Framework for system-wide media control. This includes:

• Fix of all media key related bugs in previous versions.
• Support for other media control commands, such as AirPods and Bluetooth headsets.
• Media control will presist in the Touch Bar Control Strip.
• Support for the Now Playing widget.

The MediaPlayer Framework only works in macOS 10.13+. On earlier system versions, it will fallback to the old mpv media key handling mechanism.

New Settings

• Added options to pause/resume the media when:
  • Minimized/un-minimized window
  • Window became inactive/active
  • Left/entered full screen.
• Added an option to display time and battery information in full screen.
• Added options to control the initial window size and position.
• Added options to control when and how to resize window to fit the video

Saved Filters and New Filter Presets

• Now users are able to save added filters for later use.
• Users can now assign shortcut keys to a saved filter, to toggle a filter on/off quickly.
• Added 3D LUT as a video filter preset; when a 3D LUT file is drag&dropped into the window, it will be loaded automatically.

Revised Key Binding System

All menu items are now linked to (mpv) key bindings (Preferences - Key Bindings). Therefore, users are given full control of menu shortcuts. To change the shortcut for a menu item, just edit the corresponding key binding in Preferences. If there are more than one corresponding key bindings, the first one will be used.

• We changed and removed some default key bindings. If you prefer the previous ones, edit them in Preferences.
• Updated VLC and Movist key bindings.
• Redesigned the Key Bindings tab in Preferences.

Safari Extension

• Added "Open in IINA" in context menu when right-clicked a link.
