The integrated media server is a great feature! I was curious to see if I could add a video player directly inside rqbit. Doing so, I ran into a very frustrating issue where a simple html

Consequences: videos are not streamable via Safari (not that important) -> they are not streamable inside a Tauri webview on mac (more annoying)
