Does anyone know if the rPi4 can play HD (1080p) video in a browser smoothly yet? I bought one to use as a media PC after reading that it could play 4K video. Apparently it can’t even do 1080p in the browser though (YouTube etc)
Which is a ridiculous waste of energy... :( you notice it too now using Microsoft Teams (Electron) and Google Meet versus Facetime. Eats your battery in no time.
On my Intel NUC, which is a few years old, I have to use an extension[1] which forces YouTube to serve h264. Otherwise it's a loud laggy mess.
