Hi, I am test driving IIINA https://iina.io/ and I'd love to link it to Yate. Is there a chance for a player interface for it? Or can I code one myself, and if so, how would I go about it? Thanks

Most of the player interfaces use AppleScript. IINA does not have an AppleScript dictionary and if there is any other API available for it I can't find it on a quick look. Sorry.

Hi fritz. I'm late to your question but I'm going to add my solution in case it helps.

I also use IINA as a player. I found myself having to drag the containing folder to each App icon. It was a pain having to do this twice so I created an (https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/automator/welcome/mac)Automater app for this. The app sits in my dock. I drag music onto it and it opens the tracks in Yate and IINA at the same time.

Good automator script 🙂

Starting in Yate v7.0 you can do it all in Yate. Create a small action something like:

Test if named variable 'Droplet Files' is empty (Set test state)
if false
Open Files With Application "IINA" (List in named variable 'Droplet Files')
Stop Action and Post Process with the contents of named variable 'Droplet Files'
else
Cancel with failed run context
endif

Make sure that the action has Always checked in the Action Manager.

Create a droplet as in the screenshot and it will do the same thing.
