SwiftVLC Alternatives

SwiftVLC is described as 'AVFoundation is excellent for Apple's native media stack, but its container, codec, subtitle, and network-protocol support is limited to what Apple ships. Apps that need MKV, SSA/ASS subtitles, RTSP, SMB, UPnP, or other VLC-backed formats and protocols need a broader engine' and is an app. There are more than 25 alternatives to SwiftVLC for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and Flathub apps.
