Mac (alternate)
Section titled “Mac (alternate)”You can use Infuse, but I recommend you have a very strong Wi-Fi connection to use it, since it does not support transcoding (asking the server to send you a lower quality video file). On weak connections, you may have buffering issues. Infuse has benefits like downloading to watch offline.
Desktop 2.0 is on Flathub
