Transcoding AV1 4K video for web browsers presents challenges. Your AV1 source videos at 4K resolution need careful management for web-based viewing. Since you cannot install APKS, browser compatibility is key.
Some devices struggle with AV1 playback, even with software decoding. This causes stuttering. You want to force HEVC transcoding to address this. Directly forcing HEVC is difficult when AV1 has the lowest bitrate. Lowering bandwidth below AV1's bitrate to force h.264/h.265 results in poor quality.
You also want to limit the streaming resolution to 1440p. Editing encoder.xml with <MaxStreamingResolutionHeight>1440</MaxStreamingResolutionHeight> did not work. The available options are typically 1080p and 4K.
While forcing transcoding on DLNA works, you cannot skip or fast-forward videos. This suggests a configuration issue within your DLNA setup, possibly related to seeking capabilities or profile limitations.
