AV1 Direct play on Google Pixel 8

Make sure that the client settings in the Jellyfin Android app are set to integrated player instead of web player. Click your icon in the top right, client settings, change the player to integrated.

One quirk with Jellyfin right now is that if the audio needs to be transcoded the output will be in a TS container, which does not support AV1. So sometimes if you have audio that needs to be transcoded it will HAVE to transcode the video due to container restrictions. When 10.9 is released it will allow transcodes to be output in the fMP4 container, which DOES support AV1. So audio only transcodes won't also trigger video transcodes.
