Mac users can get a very nice front end to mpv with https://iina.io

Bonus trivia: Plex Media Player uses mpv as the video player

[arch1t3cht]

IINA has various issues that mpv does not have, in particular with color space conversions (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41278331 for a few more details)

That is... not a glowing endorsement. I've had more bugs and player failures from Plex than any other media software I've ever used.

Streaming or player errors? Plex has basically never failed to play any video I've ever given it, but a bad connection can totally ruin streaming. I wish they would implement pause and allow to buffer.

plex uses terribly old build of mpv with questionable config

MPV is slowly becoming the major embedable media player on the PC side. It's in a bunch of stuff and that's great.

Adding onto this is Outplayer, which similarly uses MPV for its backend, for iOS & iPadOS.
