Time is money.
Have they responded yet in regards to implementing this?

I have heard its a client side thing and that it should be really simple to fix up.

I have seen them releasing updates for that retro looking gaming side of plex, but not much on the stuff that is more relevant to the vast majority of their customers.

+1 for AV1 Support! Y’all take long enough and folks will move on to other options. Plex feels like they’re on top now but all it takes is lagging behind just a little to start losing out. Get on it.

I’m noticing more and more items having this format, would be nice to have support for it.

I’ll check back in five months when they pretend they never saw this post and quietly implement it. Good luck until then.

Edit: Well, I tried.

I think the recent fight between Google (YouTube TV) and Roku, where one of the sticking points is rumored to be around the AV1 codec, should be a sign - Plex should really start implementing this codec if not already implemented. Or, if under development, considering a push to production this year.

Before Plex, I was a MediaTomb guy on Freenas. And while I have a lifetime subscription to Plex, I’m still not opposed to other forms of media delivery to my house and my friends.

Heck, I’m still sort of miffed that, during Hurricane Harvey here in Houston I had some database issues that no one at Plex seemed to really care about, and I was trying to share out my live TV broadcasts but for some reason, Live TV wasn’t working (still a relatively new feature). And I had to learn SQL on my freaking own to fix it, and it wasn’t even my fault. Then I had to restore my DB and lose play tracking because my ā€œfixā€ did’t survive a Plex update.

Just search the forums - you’ll see it. 2017. Buffalo Bayou Timelapse During Harvey - YouTube

Pro-tip: Most of the ā€œPlex-erptsā€ e-mails these days just go to my trash bin - who cares about Tidal, anyway.

Any idea what I need to install on a raspberry pi 4 running ubuntu that is functioning as the plex media server to solve the ā€œno av1 decoderā€ / ā€œvideo decoder ā€˜av1’ not foundā€ error

You need to install VLC for Ubuntu and convert the media to a compatible codec, before adding it to your Plex library.

It is exhausting to not only stumble onto yet another Plex inadequacy, but to also discover in these very forums that a competitor like Emby had already implemented a fix for it years earlier.
