@linuxadopter There is an issue specific to N5, video play back is not possible with media player : https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1092
With N5, you need to play videos with UTmedia. -
@linuxadopter A quick search came up with this https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/TR/oneplus-3t

@libremax An HTML5 based video player. What is different about it aside from being web based? Also why web based videos aren't effected by the issue?

A few days ago on the dev channel of a Nexus 5, the playback of a small mp4 video DOWNLOADED was working again (image of the video displayed in the gallery. Now, not again : format not recognized again
But, even if the playback was possible, there was still this known problem: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/7 (distorted colours). Rainbow flashi effect...
So even if playback is sometimes possible, viewing can make you think of someone who has taken a good dose of... what you want

@linuxadopter The web browser is not playing video using the hardware decoding. It's all going through software only.

@dobey Understood. One last question: Because it's a web app I'm assuming that it wouldn't work without internet, correct?
-
@linuxadopter
Not really webapp can use locally stored data (like html pages or local db).
But a webapp requires networking rights to run. -
@AppLee So it does need internet. That doesn't sound good at all. I don't think I'll get an Nexus 5 and... there isn't anything else guys. Right now it makes much more sense to just get a phone with LineageOS and postmarketOS support and switch to postmarketOS when it has replacment apps for the apps I use on my android device. Sorry.
-
@linuxadopter No. Local HTML apps do not need to connect to the internet to work. Thus, UTMedia doesn't. You just need internet to use OpenStore app and install it.
-
@dobey Oh. Okay, maybe Nexus does deserve a chance after all!
-
For what it's worth, @linuxadopter, I'm very happy with my Nexus5 running UT.
