Building

IINA ships with pre-compiled dynamic libraries for convenience reasons. If you aren't planning on modifying these libraries, you can follow the instructions below to build IINA; otherwise, skip down to Building mpv manually and then run the steps here:

Using the pre-compiled libraries

1. IINA uses CocoaPods for managing the installation of third-party libraries. If you don't already have it installed, here's how you can do so:

Using RubyGems

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

Using Homebrew

$ brew install cocoapods

2. Run pod install in project's root directory.

3. Open iina.xcworkspace in the latest public version of Xcode. IINA may not build if you use any other version.

Building mpv manually

1. Build your own copy of mpv. If you're using a package manager to manage dependencies, the steps below outline the process.

Homebrew

Use our tap, since passes the correct flags during configuration:

$ brew tap iina/homebrew-mpv-iina
$ brew install mpv-iina

MacPorts

Pass in the flags when installing:

# port install mpv +uchardet -bundle -rubberband configure.args="--enable-libmpv-shared --enable-lua --enable-libarchive --enable-libbluray --disable-swift --disable-rubberband" 

2. Copy latest header files into libmpv/include/mpv/.

3. Run other/parse_doc.rb. This script will fetch the latest mpv documentation and generate MPVOption.swift, MPVCommand.swift and MPVProperty.swift. This is only needed when updating libmpv. Note that if the API changes, the player source code may also need to be changed.

4. Run other/change_lib_dependencies.rb. This script will deploy the depended libraries into libmpv/libs. Once this is finished, go to Xcode and delete all of the dylibs from the Frameworks group in the sidebar and drag in your own from libmpv/libs; do the same in the "Embedded Binaries" section of the iina target.

5. Run a fresh build in Xcode.

Contributing

IINA is always looking for contributions, whether it's through bug reports, code, or new translations.

• If you find a bug in IINA, or would like to suggest a new feature or enhancement, it'd be nice if you could search your problem first; while we don't mind duplicates, keeping issues unique helps us save time and considates effort. If you can't find your issue, feel free to file a new one.

• If you're looking to contribute code, please read CONTRIBUTING.md–it has information on IINA's process for handling contributions, and tips on how the code is structured to make your work easier.

• If you'd like to translate IINA to your language, please check the Translation Status page first: if a language is labeled as "Need help", then feel free to update the translation. If it doesn't contain your language at all, you can submit a new translation. If you need help working on a translation, you can contact @lhc70000 or file an issue and one of the maintainers will try to help you out.
