  Thanks!

  Is it (more) cpu expensive to decode the AV1?

    Yes. If you don’t have hardware that supports AV1 decode, it gets sent to the CPU instead.

    For homelab stuff, the responsibility falls on the server to transcode the media to whichever format the client device requests. That usually means being able to have ~2 simultaneous AV1 streams and maxing out the CPU.

    With hardware decode, you could have 10+ streams.
