What happened

Cheers everyone,
i have a bunch of Netflix AV1 series in my library. Because i run plex of a Raspberry Pi 4 i disabled the transcoding option. The regular Plex App streams av1 content directly to my TV. Plex native sadly doesnt :(

Thanks for the report. As far as I can tell your TV (2022 A2) can decode AV1 in hardware. PlxNative currently only direct plays H.264 and HEVC, so AV1 files go to the server to be transcoded, and with transcoding off they fail. That's the gap, so I'm keeping this open as a feature request for native AV1. If you can, please attach the event log from a failed attempt, fetched with Dev Manager as described in Collecting logs. Please don't include a Plex token.

Actually, adding AV1 was pretty cheap. I think you can try in the next nightly. I think I will add VP9 as well, since my TV supports it and it’s cheap as well.
