<div dir="ltr">
<div>I got it compiled and working on my system. The app works on both High Sierra and Catalina. High Sierra has what I'd expect for playback. Catalina behaves the same (i.e. only plays in a quarter of the screen for 480p videos). I suspect there's a bug hidden in modern VideoToolbox versions.</div>

<div>I've uploaded the file here and will be updating the forum and wiki posts soon:</div>
