I'm using Freetube, too. While it fails to play 2160p reliably, you can always use a button to send the video to an external player like MPV. And MPV works without any issues.

Oh. Maybe you are right. All I saw was "ffprobe missing", just spat out a fix for that without reading thoroughly.

Using a specialized tool for the task is the way to go, in my opinion. I use OpenStreetMaps when I need to look at the map. If I'm looking for some famous(ish) place, I look it up on Wikipedia and jump to OSM from there.

ffprobe is a part of FFmpeg. Install it properly.

 

A lot of instances did not upgrade yet because of the awkwardly implemented tagging feature.

A switch to per minute, per megabyte plan made me a lot more concious about spending money on my phone. If I want something to watch/listen to during a trip, I download it beforehand. I almost never use any minutes, only communicating via the mobile data. With autodownloading of pictures disabled in all my chat apps, it runs about 50 MB per month, which charges me less than 50 cents.

You'd also want your transmitter to be physically on equal distance from the speakers. You always get a bit of current via the electromagnetic field, and it spreads throughout anything, not just wires.

Well, it also depends on whether that little current is enough to make a sound that the runner would be able to hear.

Yea, I know. Fucked up my wording a bit while trying to explain why I'm using the app.

Offline capabilities is the killer feature for me. I don't have much bandwidth on my mobile data plan, being able to access maps without internet connection is incredibly good.

You can just share links to maps, OpenStreetMaps has a bunch of different mobile apps, for example, Organic Maps is a good one. Links to OSM look like this: https://osm.org/go/zrfyVQn8--?node=164979149

Because it's based on OSM that anyone can commit changes to, it sometimes has areas mapped that Google maps don't. On my last skiing trip made everyone install it, because Google maps just didn't have a proper map of the resort we were staying in. Also works offline, very convenient when you only have broadband internet in the hotel.
