    Supports downloading a server transcoded file? That’s amazing!

    Would like to see an Fdroid version

        I too would rather have an F-droid version instead of having to use Obtainium. There is additional inherent trust by going through F-droid’s process.

      From what I understand its still restrained by the server in real time so downloading a 2 hour movie would still take two hours 🥲

        Is this a bug, or is it actually just limited to the transcode speed? I would love to read the incident/bug report about this.

          It’s limited to the transcode speed, but it’s important to keep in mind that e.g. if you transcode to a lower resolution especially it’ll usually transcode faster than realtime.

            Then it shouldn’t be limited. I can transcode a movie faster then I watch it even at higher quality.

              Right, I just mean if your connection speed is faster than your server can transcode, then the transcode speed will be the bottleneck
