These days it seems Apple is begging to be regulated. So much stuff where they either let through scams or boot off legitimate apps on a whim. If anyone followed the news in the EU, Vestager is openly discussing to do so. They should rather make a halfhearted step themselves to open up their platform or they will be forced to do a full step themselves. That's my prediction, as states start to realize the abusive practices Apple is currently using.
- r00fus 5y agoEverything you said about Apple seems more apt about Amazon.
- mhh__ 5y agoI feel notably unfree on an Apple product, which amazes me because my reference is Google products. The thing which struck me was when I tried to watch a film I've had on my PC hard drive for what must be 5 years now, but Apple won't let VLC ship the codec.
- Terretta 5y agoIs the codec and container available in MrMC or Infuse? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/infuse-7/id1136220934 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/infuse-7/id1136220934 Video: 3GP AVI ASF BDMV DIVX DVDMEDIA DVR-MS FLV ISO/IMG M2TS M4V MKV MOV MP4 MPEG MTS MXF OGM OGV TS VIDEO_TS WEBM WMV WTV I’d be curious what it is, if not. VLC is missing codecs on Windows store too: https://itigic.com/normal-vlc-vs-microsoft-store-vlc-differences-better/ https://itigic.com/normal-vlc-vs-microsoft-store-vlc-differe...
- mhh__ 5y agoI think I tried the free version of infuse and some other one, neither worked. This is also ignoring that Apple don't deem it useful for you to be able to rename file extensions, which wouldn't have been a problem if I hadn't copied it as a .vkm instead of mkv
- dogorman 5y agoGood thing Windows lets you ""sideload"" a real copy of VLC instead of forcing you to use the neutered crap from their appstore. For now.
