Hot VS iina

iMacs are sensitive and unusable if the room/environment temperature goes up 1-2 degrees. Once an iMac reaches temperatures that exceed its cooling capabilities, it will reduce the Scheduler Limit. This OS protection slows your computer down to a % of its actual performance. It's designed to reduce load down to a level that the computer can cope with, given its temperature situation. A tool called Hot will reveal the current scheduler limit, and you'll be able to verify this is the problem.

I'm using Hot: https://github.com/macmade/Hot

Use https://github.com/macmade/Hot to read temps instead. I don’t trust cleanmymac.

The Hot . app is great for showing how hot or cold my laptop is running, and whether it has throttled.

You can use the tool "Hot" (https://github.com/macmade/Hot) to check if we are investigating in the right direction.

9. IINA

While QuickTime Player is still supported, it's not in a good state imo. I've never found chapters to work, for example, and have had other issues like the app complaining about being "busy" when trying to trim a video. If you're willing to explore, I'd suggest trying out IINA instead. It doesn't support editing, but it's good at playing.

Well, there is not much for Mac, there is this https://iina.io

IINA - Price: Free Modern media player for macOS that supports almost all video and audio formats.
