If anyone is looking for the mpv core with a GUI on macOS, take a look at IINA https://github.com/iina/iina

It’s also the only way I can play HDR on macOS that looks decent (besides the native players like QuickLook/Quicktime/Photos).

I went into a rabbit hole recently playing iPhone-recorded Dolby hdr videos and tweaking all the various mpv settings but nothing really looked the same as in Photos. Iina is closer but also not exactly the same as the native players.

infuse will also do good job, but it's using apple engine instead of ffmpeg, and it's paid for the good stuff https://apps.apple.com/us/app/infuse-video-player/id11362209...

iPhone-recorded Dolby Vision videos uses an additional metadata called "Ambient Viewing Environment", and I don't think any third-party player supports it at the moment.
