The desktop app should have maximum encoding compatibility so you direct play. It's not guaranteed with browsers e.g. I believe Firefox doesn't and will never support HEVC.
My gripe with the desktop app is lack of ability to easily refresh like with a browser. The UI bugs out sometimes and I end up having to close and reopen the app.
you get that sweet playback, sometimes, plus all the instability of windows. win win!
If you right click anywhere you can get into a separate context menu from which you can reload/refresh. At least that's how it works for me
