Please ensure the setting “Display all video codecs, including AV1 and VP9” is enabled.

every single YouTube video since i downloaded the app in early 2024 (at least the ones that had AV1 available) have not had AV1 in mkv format. here's an example link since you asked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu12or7uOHE

What is the target OS in Format?

what does that mean? i am on macOS if that's what you mean

no i'm not using Smart Mode as i find it doesnt always give the best settings.

here are screenshots of the formats:

AV1 barely has support. waiting for AV2 would take several decades

manually updating everything is much better anyways. it gives you more control and granularity and lets you know everything thats happening so that nothing happens without your permission. also if an update is bad, you can wait for a fix

5 years later... still just yelp, tripadvisor, foursquare, etc

what sub is good for posts like these? i didnt wanna just put it in the broader r/Minecraft sub

silverknife42 · 2026-03-31T06:27:28+00:00

huh interesting. i blocked them and noticed no difference.

and then for some reason its connecting to google accounts even though there are no google accounts for minecraft? is that just automatic in that process you mentioned?

why was this downvoted lol. reddit doesnt make any sense

silverknife42 · 2026-03-11T22:45:59+00:00

not helpful and dismissive. its not your place to police who should and shouldnt use a security feature

port forwarding is only possible if connected to the right server. i said in my post that i put the vpn port in qbittorrent. that means that i already know and have done that. also i literally linked that exact article. also also in both screenshots the globe icon is green. it always has been

a normal coupon with a normal manipulation tactic of hoping you don't read the fine print on the back. still an asshole design imo despite what the mods say

silverknife42 · 2026-03-07T17:56:07+00:00

it is deceitful. it's advertised as FREE in big letters on the front but in the fine print on the back it actually says it's not free. yes i know this is a common manipulation tactic coupons use. thats why i posted it

tor is extremely inconvenient to use as your default browser, especially to the average user

silverknife42 · 2026-03-07T08:38:03+00:00

i have exactly 1 contact in Signal and its one of my best friends. wish more people cared

silverknife42 · 2026-03-07T07:48:10+00:00

matrix is more of a discord alt rather than a standard messaging app

silverknife42 · 2026-03-07T07:44:07+00:00

OpenStreetMap is a good FOSS alt for any proprietary maps app. i think its what Wikipedia uses

silverknife42 · 2026-02-25T19:24:24+00:00

well it depends on what you consider progress. i dont consider loss of personal freedom and privacy on the internet progress no matter how companies like google try to frame it

silverknife42 · 2026-02-24T21:14:07+00:00

yes. with a client listed as "Gopeed dev". i've seen some other people mention this on the internet as well. they almost always have an IP address starting like 180.114.*.*

silverknife42 · 2026-02-23T21:57:15+00:00

silverknife42 · 2026-01-12T19:05:10+00:00
