# treason

A video player for 9front.

## Status

[Video one](https://diode.zone/videos/watch/bfcd2004-677d-4878-86cc-e20a4ff7ccf1)

[Video two](https://diode.zone/videos/watch/4f16e664-8701-4125-a62c-9137f3b4a4da)

What can it play?  MP4 and MKV/WEBM files, which are multimedia
containers.  Video formats supported are
[AV1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1), H.264 (baseline only), VP8
and VP9.  Only 8-bit per component YUV 4:2:0 is supported atm.  AAC
audio is supported (inside and outside of a container).  OPUS audio is
supported outside of a container (still trying to understand why
`audio/opusdec` can't play the ones extracted from a MKV).

*It's only supposed to build and run on AMD64 for now.*

More is coming. Patches are very welcome, too.

## Gotchas

You need a fast computer to play AV1. H.264 doesn't require as much.
