IINA is only on macOS. I looked up linux alternatives but none of them seem to have similar looking UIs, at least out of the box. I want the player UI to float on top of the video + with a blurred background, it as shown in the image; or at least the ability to theme it like so.


I’m pretty sure mpv’s UI can turn into this. I’ve seen some crazy things.
Yeah it’s called an osc (on screen controller)
Is there one that looks exactly like this? Probably not. But if you know Lua this could be created.
Hell, IINA is made with MPV as a base
I haven’t seen something like this but I’ve seen someone replicated Youtube UI, including thumbnail previews on seekbar. I’ve also seen some quite simple and clear UIs as well. mpv has so many capabilities, I probably don’t know about 95% of them.
Absolutely you’re likely talking about this right?

With thumbfast installed too.
Personally I use a fork of ModernX:

MPV is crazy. Got a plugin that let’s me clip videos very easily, one that let’s me pick stream quality for when I use MPV to watch twitch videos, you can even get riscord rich presence if you’re into that thing.
Here’s the awesome page:

Edit: and the official list linked from their site:

Actually I was searching about that Youtube one that I saw long ago but couldn’t find again. Thank you for these. Especially for awesome-mpv.
