Transcoding settings

[alby6969]

Hi, I set up my Jellyfin server some time ago, and I might have messed with the settings.

I am just curious what I should check and uncheck in "enable hardware decoding for" , and a few other options below transcoding.

I have an old i9 CPU with Nvidia RTX3070.

If anyone can tell me if this looks right?

Just follow this chart. I believe AV1 is Intel only.

Thanks for that, I think my 3070 can decode AV1 but cannot transcode AV1.

That said I do not know what any of this means lol. I wish for the uninformed like myself we can just select my GPU from a drop down menu and load the compatible defaults for that GPU.

Also when I select Nvidia NVENC for hardware acceleration, but say I also have an intel CPU, does this mean I can only choose one or the other. If intel can transcode certain things nvidia can't and vice versa, why can't you select to use both depending on the media.

Anyway I am a basic user, but just curious

Also sometimes my jellyfin transcodes or remuxes files instead of playing direct. 

But according to this https://fullspecs.net/smart-tv/lg/65nano...fications/

my TV can play the video or audio codecs in this file. But every so often it won't play direct. Is this because my 2020 TV is too old?
