A video player with this feature

[stanleystf]

I watch a lot of video tutorials and take snapshots from them. In KMPLAYER on Windows, when I take a snapshot from a video, the name of the video is saved on the file name of that snapshot. Also, later when I look at those snapshots, their order depends on the time of the video each individual snapshot was taken, no the time I took that snapshot. Let me give an example:

I have a video titled "Tutorial A" which is 55 minutes long. I start playing it and at 49th minute I find something interesting and I take a snapshot. Later, I watch the video again, and find another interesting thing at the 42nd minute. I again take a snapshot. Later, I go to the folder of snapshots. With Kmplayer, the snap I took at 42nd minutes comes sooner and also the name of the video is saved with that picture so I can search it later. On MAC, everybody recommends VLC player, but it doesn't have this feature.

Does anyone know a video player with this feature on MAC?

What an excellent player! I don't know how to thank you! You made my transition from Windows to Mac a lot less painful than it could've been. In fact you made it pleasant!

Do you know how I can change Keyboard shortcuts? When I want to change, I get this error:

I can't duplicate the configuration.

There seems to be a problem in this version with duplicating configurations.
But here is a solution, go to /Applications/Video/IINA.app/Contents/Resources/config/ and copy iina-default-input.conf (or other config you wish to personalize)on your Desktop, rename it and from IINA – Keybindings use “Import an existing config file”
To quickly copy iina-default-input.conf to your Desktop, from Terminal

cp /Applications/Video/IINA.app/Contents/Resources/config/iina-default-input.conf ~/Desktop/MyIINA.conf

Worked like a charm.

Can I define a keyboard shortcut for for disabling subtitle?

I tried this but it didn't work:

 

[bogdanw]

Use mpv command: cycle sub-visibility

 

[stanleystf]

You mean like this?

It didn't work.

 

[bogdanw]

It worked for me, in the custom MyIINA configuration



You can try another way: close IINA, open ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.colliderli.iina/input_conf/MyIINA.conf with TextEdit and add at the end the line:

c cycle sub-visibility

Open IINA and check the configuration.

It did work! You never disappoint.

In VLC, there's an option to disable subtitle track [as opposed to making it invisible]. It the settings, it says toggle subtitle:

Can I add it to IINA?

 

[bogdanw]

I don't think it can be added, as it's not included in the VLC default config in IINA.
You have Cycle Subtitle Track, but it's probably not as useful when you have multiple subtitle tracks.

Yes. But it's not a big deal.

This player is so great that this is negligible.

Better: cycle sub up
As the default is 1, cycle up will go to none.

"Cycle sub down" did the trick.
