You can’t run vlc? What kind of devices do you have?
Lol ikr.
Could be a barebones TV with a usb port? Some do have media players
Are you tying to watch movies on a smart Fridge? VLC runs on everything. Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, IOS and even Windows Phone had a running version!
If it doesn’t run directly on your “smart” TV just hook it to a device that does run it, its just a monitor if you use a HDMI cable.
I legitimately wouldn’t be surprised if someone has ported VLC to smart refrigerators.
IIRC smart fridges usually use some fork of Android, it’s probably doable on some smart fridges very easily
Stupid fridge 😠
Could be a tv with a usb port and bare bones media player, pretty sure in that case you could download with vlc and then convert them before transfer
Is it because it’s a work device ? Because except if you’re not the admin of your machine, VLC will run on any potato.
And even if you can’t install it on a locked-down device, there’s a portable version, too. Install on any removable media (from another machine, to be fair) and it will run from USB without installation.
So should I run it directly on the potato or run the portable version from a thumb drive inserted into the potato?
the fact bros pirates on work device says alot
Try mpv then ;-)
MPV deserves its own community. It’s the only player on windows that can handle DV content. Though the default offering is very minimal and difficult to use. There are some awesome gui projects though
mpv can render video everywhere, even inside a fucking text terminal! Use
--vo=tctargument to render the video into text art. Heck, if you’re using Xorg it can even render into another app window!https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/vo.rst
What devices can’t run VLC? thought it was one of those things that even run on a toaster
I hope this is sarcasm.
Did you try to install ffmpeg and run: „ffmpeg -i someFile.fileextension -c:a libmp3lame -c:v libx264 -f mp4 outFile.mp4“ to repair the file. Then you should be able to play it on every device. On windows you can install ffmpeg with winget and on linux for example with apt or on macos with brew.
I trying to think which devices can’t run VLC and all I’ve come up with are a pager and a Blackberry. Does anyone have any idea what he’s talking about?
presumably a toaster from the potato age
Nintendo 3DS
Codec inconsistency is annoying yeah. You need a better tracker
