I have an appletv connected to a projector but sometimes I just want to throw on something on the computer when I’m eating/waiting for something else. And of course because I’m on Linux I can’t get even 1080p encoded at a shitty bitrate unless I force it with a Firefox extension that they can gimp at any time (in a way, many thanks to the engineers who made the extension possible by relaxing checks on the browser). I don’t understand why most platforms hate their paying users like this - I can and will pirate a Blu-ray quality rip if I can’t pay for it easily.
