vplayPortable macOS builds are available from GitHub Releases.
Why It Exists
- Most players are built around one video window.
- Multi-output tools are often heavy, app-centric, or signage-oriented.
- vplay stays local, fast, keyboard-first, and focused on stable operation.
- Each active screen or room gets its own playback session and controls.
Use Cases
- Private screening rooms, video booths, galleries, studios, and installations.
- Several TVs, projectors, rooms, or screens controlled from one machine.
- Side-by-side references, loops, playlists, and clipped sections.
- People who need a lightweight TUI instead of a full control system.
