What is the "it" that you think got left behind?

[–] neclimdul@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I meant that in the video it's consistently not worked for a very long time. Seems the switch to HDMI left it behind. While it would be nice if devices supported it like he asked, the fact it was skipped in the HDMI standard and not mandated by law means it's unlikely devices racing too the bottom line will ever care. And that's basically what we see. Only the most expensive devices even acknowledge it's an issue.

That said, I hope VLC devs see his video and improve things. I'm sure it's more complicated then it seems but it would be cool for them to add that to the ways they're better than every other player put there.

Honestly, physical media formats in general have been left behind decades ago at this point.
