also its not just pure "compatibility", but I had a time when I played vids to my TV over an old laptop (from around 2015). Worked like a charm. But some x265 vids went into full-on stutter mode in scenes where a lot of stuff was happening... was more a nuisance than a dealbreaker, but still, preferred x264 versions if I could get them

Baconreader stopped working last week, so I took the time on the weekend to set this up... Very happy with the experience so far (don't even need an app, using it in Firefox on mobile and saving it as an app is the perfect experience)

There is a LinusTechTips Video where they build a PC together (the guy from the original verge video) and he explained what happened. Have nothing but respect for that dude for doing that now...
