ViPlay v0.3.0
A cleaner, more focused ViPlay: the sidebar is gone, fullscreen is truly fullscreen, and deleting works again.
Highlights
- Distraction-free fullscreen. Only the video fills the screen. Controls appear when you hover over them, the cursor hides after a moment of stillness,
Escleaves fullscreen, and on macOS the file name shows in the title bar when you move the pointer to the top of the screen. - More room for video. The left sidebar is removed. Open video and Keyboard shortcuts are in the top bar, Folder and Recently played are tabs at the top of the playlist, and codec, resolution, container, FPS, and size sit under the file name.
- Long file names no longer push the top-bar buttons off screen; they are truncated with an ellipsis, and the full path appears when you hover over the name.
- Videos start playing right away after Open video, just like drag and drop and Open With.
Fixes
- The Delete button in the delete confirmation dialog did nothing (a regression in v0.2.0). Deleting works again, including on network shares; files go to the Trash when the volume supports it and are deleted permanently otherwise.
Under the hood
- Updated to the stable Wails v3.0.0 release.
- New README with the full feature list and keyboard shortcuts.

On Windows and Linux, install FFmpeg separately (winget install Gyan.FFmpeg or your distribution's package manager).
The macOS build is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS blocks the first launch. Move ViPlay to Applications, try to open it once, then choose Open Anyway under System Settings → Privacy & Security.

ViPlay v0.2.0
ViPlay is a desktop video player for macOS, Windows, and Linux. This is the first published release.
Highlights
- Plays everything on macOS. Playback uses libmpv with hardware decoding, so MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MPG, 10-bit HEVC, and AC3/DTS audio open instantly without conversion. FFmpeg and libmpv are bundled; nothing else needs to be installed.
- Open With. ViPlay registers for common video and audio types, so it appears in Finder's right-click Open With menu.
- Smarter playlist. Rows show type, duration, and size; sort by name, date modified, or duration; thumbnails load as you scroll; and the list follows the playing video.
- Playlist actions. Right-click a row to play it, show it in Finder, copy its path, or move it to Trash.
- Easier splitting. Right-click the timeline (or press
B) to place split markers, then split into parts from the marker bar. Splitting is lossless. - Contact sheets and re-encoding to MP4 (H.264), HEVC, or AV1, with optional moving of the original to Trash.
- English and Turkish interface.

On Windows and Linux, install FFmpeg separately (winget install Gyan.FFmpeg or your distribution's package manager); those platforms still play through the system web view and convert legacy formats on demand.
