I think the most recent update that boost had was when it was updated to actually work with Lemmy. It’s not actually very frequently updated anymore which is a shame.
Using Firefox 134, still got a download and had to open it up in VLC to watch it. Which means the site you’re uploading it to doesn’t support inline streaming it.
what frontend are you using, default lemmy one or one of the alt frontends .world has? Default frontend should handle it fine but havent checked the alts
Ah that might be why then. old.lemmy.world - but if I get a link to a raw MP4 file, firefox just opens and plays it, rather than downloading it. Tried on normal lemmy.world and it inlines the video just fine. Sorry!
versions that support (lower rectangle / higher number is more recent):
usage per version:
last major browser that didnt support which was safari updated to support it 4 years ago. update your browser
Using Boost on my phone. Just shows a big error message.
But considering it’s a WebM… Ugh… Maybe I should find a better Lemmy app.

Right… So I definitely have to find myself a new app. Any suggestions?
