I 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.

Is 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...

  I 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

  Good thing Windows lets you ""sideload"" a real copy of VLC instead of forcing you to use the neutered crap from their appstore. For now.
