This package allows macOS Finder to display thumbnails, static previews,
cover art and metadata for most types of video files.
QuickLook and Spotlight on macOS 10.9 and later understand a limited
number of media files - mostly only MPEG audio and video codecs within
MPEG container files. This package adds support for wide range of other
codecs and "non-native" media file types, including .asf, .avi, .flv,
.mkv, .rm, .webm, .wmf etc.
Installation
Download the .pkg file of the latest release.
Double-click on it.
The Installer app will walk you through the installation process.
To see thumbnails of video files you may need to relaunch Finder
(ctrl-⌥-click on the Finder icon in the Dock and choose Relaunch) or log
out and back in again.
You may experience high CPU and disk usage for a few minutes after
installation while Spotlight re-indexes all of your "non-native" audio
and video files.
Alternatively, if you have Homebrew installed, you can install using
Homebrew Cask:
brew cask install qlvideo
