Guix,
A sympathetic PotentialUser reported that they were unable to play
any of our home-page videos on their iPad. Even Firefox didn't
work.
Leo pointed out that we use the VP9 and Opus codecs — both of
which are still not supported by Apple[0][1]. Nor is Vorbis.
nginx can easily sniff iOS/Macintosh user agents and serve them an
inferior format to match, such as h264 with MP3 audio, which can
both be encoded using free software in Guix.
Kind regards,
T G-R
