I finally got back to the LibAV* in AVFoundation work I was doing.
We have smooth playback!
This is a test MKV file playing back HEVC in AVFoundation using macOS 15 Media Extensions, vending compressed sample buffers to VideoToolbox’s native decoder!

Do I happen to be connected with an AVFoundation expert on here? I’d like to pick your brain about something.

Hello World!
I built a SwiftUI camera translation app using AVFoundation, Vision, and ML Kit.
Offline, private, supports multiple languages, and saves your phrases.

Podcast folks, we pushed a new Lysten beta yesterday that adjusts the audio in realtime.
The idea is to boost vocals, lower bass and normalize audio. Please reach out if you got any feedback!
