Audio Stutter and Dropped Frames When Entering Full-Screen Mode #5352

Description

@winkelmayer

IINA Version

1.3.5

Release Channel

Release

macOS Version

15.2

Steps to Reproduce

1.	Play a video.
2.	Switch to Full-Screen mode.

Expected Behavior

The transition to Full-Screen mode should occur smoothly without interruptions to video or audio playback.

Actual Behavior

Even on the most modern Macs (e.g., M3-based machines), entering Full-Screen mode during video playback results in dropped frames, video stutter, and audio interruptions. The issue appears related to the resource-intensive GUI transition animation for Full-Screen mode.

A possible solution: Is there an option (e.g., a flag or parameter) to disable the animation and enable a direct, seamless transition to Full-Screen mode?
