  • iina

    The modern video player for macOS.

    • Unfortunately I can’t answer your question as far as the deal with the codecs error, but I can share a workaround I use. I download from plex.tv in my browser, which gives me the video files directly, and then I play them in my personal video player: I like IINA, but of course VLC works too

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
