22.4 Video playback in NeoFinder
NeoFinder is able to play video files for you directly from inside the application, no extra software needed.
This currently is possible in the Gallery View as that offers a large enough playback area.
Select a movie file that is currently online on one of the mounted volumes on your Mac, and hit the Space key on your keyboard.
Alternatively, you can use the Play / Pause menu command in the Item menu, or the F19 key on the extended keyboard of your Mac.
You can use all the regular playback controls, such as change the volume, or scrub the slider in the movie to get to the desired position.
NeoFinder will remember the selected volume for the next movie file you may wish to play.
Notes
This feature supports video formats that Apples AVFoundation can handle, such as .mov, .mp4, .m4v, and even some .avi files. As there exist a huge range of audio and video codecs used for these container files, there may be files that NeoFinder cannot play for you.
The amazing movie we have used in the screenshot was created by Santos Ramos. You definitely want to watch it.
