I am also using an Arc A750, primarily because I am converting all of my libraries (at least, that which I still have access to the physical media) to AV1. It works great, provided the clients can handle AV1. I had to tweak my Firestick by using Nova Player with the JF app, and my Roku Ultra won't play the AV1 files natively (Roku Ultra reports that it _does_ support AV1, but only if you sideload them via USB. I usually watch most of my stuff at night on my laptop anyway, which has a 13th gen Intel CPU so it handles AV1 natively while using the JF MediaPlayer app. Long story short, some clients work great and some do not. I presume that this will only get better with time as the underlying client hardware vendors increase their AV1 support.
Wait, Jellyfin won't transcode it on the fly from AV1 if the target device doesn't speak AV1? I mean.. I've streamed AV1 already, it worked just fine on my phone and smart TV that most likely doesn't do AV1, and it worked.. apart from that the CPU was sweating its ass off from the software transcoding and there was a bug in the libdav1d which caused it to OOM my 8GB of RAM after few mins of playback lmao.. Anyway, I thought it transcodes to H.264, or H.265 if you have it enabled (Dashboard/Playback/Hardware Encoding Options)...
OK nevermind it does transcode (at least from HEVC to .264) lmao, it just is not very obvious to see.
