Which profile is the new app using?

Plex Experience Preview
1

So I have an iPhone 16 pro max that can support av1 in hardware, and before the new app I modified iOS.xml and added the av1 codec to the supported formats and everything direct played.

Now with the new app it’s not reading that server profile, and I’d like to know which is the correct one as I’d like to continue direct playing Av1 content.

Thanks.

It looks like it starts off with the iOS profile, is augmented with information from the client, which then changes the profile to Generic. From the server logs:

Yep, same issue as me.

I modified both profiles but it didn’t work.

Is it not respecting the changes?
