hi, let's say that I want to create a player app with tauri, then would it be possible to include support for codecs like hevc (x265). I assume it wouldn't be a problem on macOS since safari supports it, but what about windows/linux?

can't comment about linux, but on my machine at least Edge plays h265 test videos I've tried, and Webview does as well

I'm working on an app for playing video streams and been wandering how to (if possible) use mpv as a backend inside tauri for playing the video streams on the frontend, maybe that's something that would work for hevc as well? I'm almost positive mpv can play hevc ootb

I tried that, video.js and just normal video tag, they all stutter a lot inside tauri for some reason, might try again some other day but for now i'm just spawning a new process for mpv

Probably because hardware acceleration for media is a joke on Linux, at least in browsers. And i'd imagine webkitgtk being even worse than firefox and chromium 🤔
