MetalPlayer

MetalPlayer is an AI-powered local and network video player designed for users who want smoother playback, high-quality rendering, and advanced video enhancement for their own media files. Built for Apple silicon, MetalPlayer uses optimized AI frame generation to create smoother motion for supported videos. It is designed to reduce the motion artifacts commonly seen in traditional frame interpolation, making anime, films, and high-frame-rate playback feel more natural and fluid. Key Features: AI Frame Generation Generate intermediate frames with an optimized neural-network pipeline for smoother motion playback. 120Hz Display Optimization Designed to work well with high-refresh-rate iPhone and iPad displays for smooth, evenly paced playback. Video Upscaling Improve the clarity of lower-resolution and anime content with Metal-accelerated upscaling pipelines. Local & Network Playback Play your own media files from local storage or network sources, including WebDAV, SMB, FTP, SFTP, and NFS. Advanced Playback Engine Includes external subtitle support, HDR tone mapping, and hardware-accelerated video decoding where available. Performance Note: AI frame generation requires significant processing power. For the best experience, Apple A15 Bionic, M1, or newer devices are recommended. Extended AI-enhanced playback may increase device temperature, so good ventilation is recommended for long viewing sessions. MetalPlayer does not provide, host, stream, sell, or distribute any video content. Users must provide their own media files.
