Did anyone get AV1 codec to work via Jellyfin? I can play the file over a USB stick connected directly to the Roku, but just getting audio only when playing via Jellyfin.

    I think there’s an option in the roku Jellyfin app to enable AV1 playback. I haven’t tried it myself, but I have seen it messing around with a few settings.

    Can you check in the logs what exactly Jellyfin tries to do? Does it try to transcode for any reason?

        Remux means the container format you’re using isn’t supported. The video and audio won’t be transcoded, so this should have minimal impact only.

        Edit: What container are you using? According to this list every common container format should be supported by roku.

          I found the repacking setting under transcoding, let me turn that off and see if the remuxing stops.

            Is that a setting specific to the roku client? I wasn’t able to find it in the server settings.

              No luck, movies that are mkvs require a remux. I checked the logs but could not see the reason for the remux

                Sorry for the late reply. Do mkvs with other codecs (avc or hevc) also remux?

                  Yes, from what I can see everything sent to the Roku is being remuxed. I can triple check this, but I know that hevc is.

              It says “Allow video playback that requires converaion without reencoding” I assume this is the remux setting?

          I’m using MKV, but for whatever reason Jellyfin wants to remux all the MKVs 🤘

          I can share the file with you if you want to see what happens? But I’m not going to put that link here lol

            I don’t have a roku to test on, so it probably reacts in a different way :/

              Yeah, no problem. I just wanted to save space in my server as my disk rips are big and AV1 is really impressive.

      Hmm. I also encoded with handbrake, maybe an issue with the Roku ultra?

        Could be, I have a Roku built in to my TCL TVs, that’s what I use. Did you replace an existing file with the av1? I had to rescan my library after swapping my files for it to work, otherwise it gave a playback error.

          I only put the av1 encoded file in the library, so nothing to rescan… This time .
