AV1 in Firefox Transcoding because of Audio Codec - lakerssuperman - 2023-10-03
I have a few videos I've converted from my Bluray collection that are AV1/DD+ as I'm beginning to experiment with using AV1 for my encodes. I tried to play one back in Firefox, but I got transcoding to H.264/AAC because the audio codec isn't compatible (knew that going in). I expected the audio to transcode and the video to remain untouched (Direct Stream). I'm not sure if this is a current Jellyfin bug/limitation or if something is amiss with my setup. I've checked everything I can think to check (AV1 is enabled in Firefox etc.)
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
My software:
Server: Jellyfin 10.8.11 running in Docker on Debian 12
Browser: Firefox on Fedora 38

I think you may need to install additional libraries into the OS to enable AV1 decoding. At least, that's what I am seeing in my searches.
