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, for example:

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, will be loaded automatically.

Revised Key Binding System

Most of the menu items are now linked to (mpv) 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 - Key Bindings. If there are more than one corresponding key bindings, the first one will be associated with the menu item.
We changed and removed some default key bindings.
If you prefer the previous key bindings, edit them in Preferences.
Updated VLC and Movist key bindings.
Redesigned the Key Binding tab of Preferences.

Other Improvements

In the Safari Extension, added "Open in IINA" in context menu when right-clicked a link. Download it now.
Added haptic feedback when dragging OSC for Force Touch enabled trackpads.
Accept ISO639-1 codes for settings that requires language codes.
Other minor improvements are not documented.

Bug Fixes

Fixed ESC key not working in legacy full screen.
Fixed animation missing when exiting full screen by clicking the traffic light button.
Fixed wrong window size when switched media in full screen.
Fixed controls in sidebar not being updated under some circumstances.
Fixed a bug where the window could be resized to small size and crops OSC.
Fixed a bug where subtitles cannot be reloaded.
Fixed a crash when loading online subtitles.
Other minor fixes are not documented.
