Im trying to watch a 1080p mkv file on my parents MacBook air

Mpv is much better

Fuck you apple! Won't run apps that didn't come from iTunes.com goddamn it you fucking piece of shit

Try mplayer although the most likely thing will be that it'll play smooth video but audio won't be in sync. If none of that works, try to downsize it to 720 via ffmpeg, which should do the conversion quicker than other apps

System preferences > security (I think, haven't used OS X in a long time) there should be a setting to allow apps from outside the appstore

Ok, go mpv working. VLC only stuttered in a few places, so we'll see how this works.


Thanks

Nope. Posted too soon. Still stutters

It only stutters when it hits above 45mb/s rate. This was being played off my usb3.0 stick, gonna copy it to the HD. Might resolve it.

Thanks. I tried mplayer, and media plex, same issue. Hopefully running it from the local HD will resolve it.

Whats the cpu util? 1.4 dual core could get bogged down with high bitrate stuff, especcially if it's throttling.

is the mkv x265 or x264

>>58380329
I still can't figure out what in my conf to adjust to stop the stuttering when putting a video in full screen.

Its a CLI hack in Shiterra now. Yes, they removed the toggle from the settings.

also, what the fuck were they thinking when the installed Sierra on 2gb of RAM? Must swap like a motherfucker.

I'd say it's because you're using a MacBook Air.
I suggest for you to try this out

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

tried the resync option in the mpv conf and/ or tinkering with compton?

>>58380251
Get the Despecialized Edition. It's 720p so you shouldn't have an issue.

and macfags try to argue with me when they say OSX isn't a walled garden

>>58380251
VLC sucks, even the mpc+hc mac port blows it out of the water despite how outdated it is

>>58382585
Fuck off, mpchc can't do video conversion.

not sure what I'm looking for in that regard. I figured it had something to do with scaling since it only happens in fullscreen.

What the fuck are you talking about? I download and install applications all the time on Sierra without any hack shit.

Just click the .dmg file, let it verify, and then install the application. You'll just get a popup that asks if you want to run it.

how disgusting

OP here, after copying it to the macs drive it only stuttered like twice.

>>58381698
It auto installed. I told my parents to update anything that it prompts. It seems to run at the same speed as before. They only use this thing for very basic stuff, and when I come visit, I bring a movie on my thumbdrive to watch, and connect it to their TV via HDMI.

>>58381871
Yup. Fuck Apple, and the cheap original bastard who bought that thing.

Its the 35mm scan, its 1080p
