      Jellyfin somehow makes his hardware support AV1?

        Yeah, it transcodes AV1 just fine. Half my stuff is in AV1 and I’ve never had an issue watching it on any device.

          So does Plex… It transcodes AV1 just fine.

          Clearly their hardware isn’t powerful enough to transcode it smoothly. So they resort to codecs that play natively on their hardware

          You’d probably have higher adoption rates if you jellyfans weren’t so annoying.
