IINA 1.5.0 delivers the largest interface redesign since launch, overhauling settings, controls, and visual design. It introduces a new Settings window with a plugin store, splits Video and Audio pages, and revamps Quick Settings with a Layout pane that lets users dock sidebars, the OSC, and the titlebar, resize sidebars, and unlock free aspect-ratio changes. Visual and interaction updates include Liquid Glass styling with adaptive icons, Live Text, configurable thumbnail width, chapter names on the seek slider, an unshuffle option, a shortcut (O) to show current time, improved mpv option parsing, and tone-mapping-param support.
The update also fixes numerous crashes and UX issues - OSC freezes, unintended Bluetooth autoplay, wrong audio-device output, HDR tone-mapping on SDR displays, external-display and font-picker crashes, and playlist/history inconsistencies. Improvements include subtitle rendering for audio-only files, faster track-list reads, revamped log, history and welcome windows, a more state-aware OSC and mini player, richer OSD, and better playlist/volume behavior. Under the hood mpv was bumped to 0.41.0, FFmpeg to 9.0.1, Sparkle to 2.9.6, plugin i18n and API fixes were added, and system requirements now require macOS 11 for Intel and macOS 12 for Apple Silicon, with macOS 11 scheduled for deprecation soon.
