What you get

Watch your videos on Mac or TV without sorting out formats first.

You can watch videos in virtually any media format on your Mac without hunting for a different player. Hardware-accelerated playback helps keep viewing smooth, while HDR tone mapping adapts HDR movies to standard displays so you avoid washed-out colors. You can also watch videos from network servers without downloading them first, or open web videos through the Safari extension.

You get more control over how you follow dialogue: display two subtitle tracks together, change their appearance and placement, or have subtitles read aloud. When you open a TV episode, matching episodes and subtitle files in the same folder become a playlist, saving you from adding them individually.

You can move your viewing to an Apple TV or compatible smart TV through AirPlay. Formats that need conversion are handled during streaming, including converting image-based subtitles to text.
