I tried it but I get the following error

Cliparr could not open any playback stream. Preview stream failed: Cannot decode avc video in this browser. Cannot decode aac audio in this browser. Source stream failed: Cannot decode avc video in this browser. Cannot decode aac audio in this browser.

I'm honestly unsure of how to troubleshoot since I don't really get what the problem is, the browser works fine with jellyfin, tried a handful of videos and in both firefox and chromium. I'm not knowledgeable enough to solve it.

Appreciate this. This already helps. This should be rare, only applying to AVC videos. You mentioned it happens on multiple videos, though? Good news is this will be fixed either way pretty soon because I am switching from using the original video file for the stream to using the HLS stream, so if it plays in the media player, it will definitely play in Cliparr.

Until then, it does look like AVC should work already though, so I will give that a deeper look.
