It's the transcoding quality. It will look very noticeable worse than Intel.
My gaming rig is AMD and all my servers at work are AMD Epyc but my homelab jellyfin instance is using an Intel J5005.
To be specific here AMD's h264 AMF encoder is bad, AMD's h265 encoder is MUCH better and closer to Intel.
I didn't see any numbers on the AV1 encoder yet.
There is no AV1 encoder on these chips, only a decoder.
I'm also running a 7900x in my system and i'm able to transcode a 20mbps av1, with the hardware decoder into h265 at about 45 fps, using VA-API.
My best suggestion for these aoostar nas boxes are to stick with streaming site quality, if the plan is to use it outside the home, with multiple users.
The current transcoders are currently able to do x4 4k h265 to h264 transcodes and one av1 to h265 at a time, so relying on direct play and wide compatibility should be the main priority, with transcoding being a fallback for older devices.
