Hi folks, recently I’ve been contemplating the idea of an AV1-only tracker. Just out of curiosity, do you think you’d find use in something like this? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Why doesn’t Plex support AV1 yet? Isn’t it just using ffmpeg?
Different versions of the client have different supports for different codecs. They’re usually fine with h264 and h265 but newer (av1) and older (avi/divx) are supported sporadically. I know the Android client only does up to h265 on Amazon devices and that’s generally what my family is using to access the library. I try to avoid transcoding as much as possible. It’s not worth it to have a tiny file size if you’re just going to be needing to reprocess it to be viewed on most of your clients. The desktop client typically has the widest range of available codecs but I don’t know if it works with AV1 yet.
Last time I checked, jellyfin was leading the way on that
I’d switch to Jellyfin but I’ve been using Plex for years with a lifetime Plex Pass. How much different is Jellyfin? What kinds of things are more supported? What kinds of things are less supported? My main concern is having access to the library for my non-tech family.
I’ve never used Plex so I really can’t say and when I was originally looking for a media system, jellyfin just ticked my bias boxes; open source being the main thing.
Hopefully someone else can answer you here
Plex has better client support. Check if Jellyfin clients exist for the devices peoole watch on
