    What Happened To Hardware Acceleration in High Sierra?

    I read in some threads that VLC already supports hardware decode. Even a VLC developer said this. To me and to my specific usage, VLC is pure horses**t. It's the worst player being intensive resource hog that doesn't seem to think about battery at all. I found IINA and have been using it since...

    Video playing from a network drive?

    I can't seem to find a video playing app with one basic feature: to play videos from a network share?! Is there a special reason for this or I'm not seeing something obvious? It's one of the basic "use cases" I had when buying iPad, and now I can't get it to work!? So, the movies are on a...
