Hi all,

 

Just popping in to confirm that Lars365 is correct here. The previous roadmap post was more broad than originally intended and was replaced with the new item that is correctly scoped. The team is still looking to make Block Download available more broadly for other video file types but we don't have a timeline we can offer just yet. Thanks!
