Use the desktop version instead! ⚠⚠ VLC media player is a portable, free and open-source, cross-platform media player and streaming media server written by the VideoLAN project. VLC is available for all operating system, desktop, mobiles or TVs. One of the longest-running media players for Mac, VLC has been open-source for over a decade and free to download. It can play 360-degree video and media files as large as 8K resolution, as well as compressed video formats. With a wide variety of features like play modification and audio quality manipulation, you can pretty much do what you want.
