## What it is
SGPlayer is a powerful media playback framework for iOS, macOS, and tvOS built on FFmpeg, Metal, and AudioToolbox. It supports 360° panorama video, hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 decoding, RTMP/RTSP streaming, and multi-track audio/video playback.

## Use cases
- play video files in an iOS app with hardware acceleration
- build a 360-degree panorama video player
- stream RTMP or RTSP live video on Apple platforms
- play videos in the background on iOS
- support multiple audio and video tracks with adjustable playback speed
- build a custom media player for macOS or tvOS

## When to choose
- you need a native Apple-platform media player beyond what AVPlayer offers
- you need 360° video playback or RTMP/RTSP streaming support
- you want hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 decoding with FFmpeg flexibility

## When to avoid
- you only need simple local or HLS playback that AVPlayer already handles
- your project targets platforms outside iOS, macOS, or tvOS
- you want to avoid bundling FFmpeg and OpenSSL dependencies
