Big Buck Bunny direct plays. It’s a .mp4 container and h264, so that likely has to do with it. My understanding was most people would be using h265 mkv files for content that’s 1080p or higher. It plays fine on Google Chrome and Edge, but not Firefox, so I’m a bit confused how people can be using Firefox and not have transcoding, unless they avoid h265 and mkv.

Everything I play has “The container is not supported”. I use mkv’s mostly. In this example, the audio codec is not supported as well.

Does it support playing mkv’s? I see container not supported and it transcodes.

Anyone else think we need a new unofficial desktop client? I don’t think the main one gets that many updates anymore. The last couple of updates were just to make it work with 10.9.x. There are 312 open issues. I wish I had the ability to help merge PR’s. Not that it’s a buggy mess, but some updates would be nice. Glad to see we get plenty of contending mobile apps though.
