Hacking Switch crashes when loading a 1080p movie

[MakiXx]

I used this guy's script (https://github.com/ItsDeidara/DNSwitch) with an Apache server running on Ubuntu.
It does the exact same thing in TV mode. I haven't tried lower res. video's yet though.

If you haven't tried lower resolutions then most likely the partially implemented browser for router authentication doesn't have video playing capabilities (from a dev's perspective, why would it?)

at the very least this should be re-titled "The Switch Wifi settings browser crashes when loading a video"

at best, it shouldn't really be reported altogether

I wouldn't take this as concrete evidence that the Switch flat out can't do it. Even the Wii U could playback 1080p from the browser. Wait for the real browser to come.

The switch is known to panic and crash when loading MP4's. I noticed it myself when developing DNSwitch with visual studio

It uses the Tegra X1, right (or some custom form of it)? The base of those can handle 4K HEVC/h265 videos from what I recall.

Omg, Hax CFW confirmed.
