KodiKodi is a free and open-source media player and entertainment hub for your own digital media. It plays almost all popular audio and video formats, and it was designed for network playback, so you can stream your media from anywhere in the house or directly from the internet. Point Kodi at your media and it scans it and creates a personal library complete with box covers, descriptions and fanart.Video
mpvmpv is a free, lightweight media player that plays almost any video and audio format, from MP4 and MKV to HEVC, AV1 and HDR video. It focuses on picture quality and speed: video is rendered on the GPU with the libplacebo engine, with high-quality scaling, colour management and HDR tone mapping. mpv has a minimal on-screen controller instead of a big window full of buttons, and is mostly controlled with the keyboard and mouse. It is so capable that other Mac players, such as IINA, are built on top of it.Video
VLC media playerVLC media player is the free, open-source media player for Mac that plays almost anything you give it. Movies, music, DVDs, audio CDs and live streams all open in the same window, without hunting for codec packs or paying for add-ons. It is made by VideoLAN, a non-profit organisation, and in VideoLAN's own words it has no spyware, no ads and no user tracking.Video
IINAIINA is a free, open-source video player made only for the Mac. It is built on mpv, one of the most capable playback engines available, and wraps it in an interface that looks and behaves like a native macOS app, with trackpad gestures, picture-in-picture and Live Text. IINA is released under the GPLv3 license and costs nothing, with no in-app purchases.Video
