That one is not optimized. I get hundreds of fps with libsvtav1, give it a try

were you trying the default av1 encoder in ffmpeg? that one is unoptimized try libsvtav1 I get hundreds of fps, albeit on a 9800x3d

not a wise choice but one nonetheless

use software transcoding if thats your issue

if plex cannot work at all with AV1, it might be time to move to a non-garbage media server like jellyfin.

thats the worst picture to show how a baby camel looks

LLMs make the problem even worse

its way worse, a couple of years ago id look something up (had to be somewhat popular) and find a few clearly bullshit articles because they follow similar scripts, and rarely make new ones.

nowadays every time I look something up there’s a new ai article site that talks about this very niche thing im looking for, and skimming through it looks somewhat convincing
