Playing any video files

To select and play a video file from your computer, regardless of format, press (Command+O). Select the video you’d like to play and click “Open.” You can also select multiple videos with the “Add to Playlist” button checked to add them to your viewing queue.

Built-in search for videos and playing from the web 

If you’d like to play a video from a streaming site like Youtube or Vimeo, press (Command+U) instead. Copy and paste the URL from the video you’d like to watch into the field and select your preferred resolution from the menu on the right. Then press “Open” to watch the video ad-free.

Once you’ve entered a URL, the app also lets you download the video to your Mac.

In the player menu bar, click the second rectangular icon. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll be able to select from a number of download options. Choose the resolution you’d like to download, then click “download.”
