- Resolution switching

May I ask if there is something new on SD/DVD content? Maybe limit those resolutions to 720p or leave them at the current display resolution?

One thing I also noticed is 4096x2160p content not switching to the 4096x2160 mode. It stays at 3840x2160. Maybe 4096x2160p could be whitelisted as a supported resolution?

- Codec Support

Right now, when playing back `av1` files with the shipped mpv-1.dll, Plex HTPC errors out - which is to be expected. The shipped mpv-1.dll was probably built without `av1` support but with the self-compiled mpv-1.dll with `av1` support, it still errors out. =\>

```

Would it be possible to whitelist `av1` in the mentioned “profile”? I mean with the shipped mpv-1.dll it would probably still error out but with the self-compiled version, we could experience `av1` content!  
With the old Plex Media Player, it was possible to watch `av1` content with a self-compiled lib. (At least it worked under Linux - tried it there and it worked just fine)
