it works !
by Radarph, 2025-02-03
well, would be great if "m3u8, live streams, mp4, webm, etc." include "blob:httрs://.." chunked video stream *without* m3u8 descriptor - exactly the case VLC cannot handle now.
from other side, it has no built-in spam and neither begs for money nor bullshits with Intellectoilet® Property™ and other copyrastic idiotia propaganda. moreover, it has an user manual page with feedback form - have no idea how does it work/if it works at all, but the potential is really great.
