A small native macOS app for opening Ace Stream links in IINA.
Paste an acestream:// link or 40-character content ID and press Play. The app starts the official Ace Stream engine inside Docker, resolves the stream, and opens it in IINA.
- macOS 14 or later
- Docker Desktop
- IINA 1.4.4 or later
- Xcode to build from source
Open AceStreamPlayer.xcodeproj in Xcode, select AceStreamPlayer → My Mac, and press Run.
Or use:
./Scripts/build.sh
./Scripts/package.shXcode downloads the pinned AceStreamEngineKit revision automatically. The first playback may take several minutes while Docker builds the engine image; later launches reuse it.
No Homebrew, Python, Node.js, FFmpeg setup, or manual engine startup is required.
Source builds are unsigned. Sign and notarize the app before distributing a DMG.
The Ace Stream engine and IINA are not bundled and retain their own licenses and terms. This project is independent and is not endorsed by them.
