No, the original Pi B can play 1080p video just fine. The video is not decoded by the CPU. H264 and older codecs play just fine. It cannot handle h265 videos as it doesn’t have a hardware decoder for those. Kodi works just fine in fact. The interface is a little bit slow, but actual video playback is fine.

Not for me. Just updated 3 minutes ago.

Hey! I have a fat cat too!

I’ve been using namecheap for about a decade too. But, be careful with their free email forwarding service. They do not forward all emails. The ones that they consider spam, they proceed to drop silently. There is absolutely no way to access those emails. The service is essentially useless. I have lost several important emails like that.

I have to add that it shouldn’t matter much though. If anyone is around you, which would be the main use case, it provides you with a QR code that they can scan and view your website.

On my non-jailbroken phone it doesn’t. The default port is 8888 and you can change it, but it doesn’t start if you specify 80. I don’t know if jailbreaking allows that.

I just found ServeIt on fdroid. I tried it with a simple html website and it works on my phone. It does exactly what you ask.
