  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.

  Super oversimplified, but take an imaginary 1GB video file and it will compress roughly to the size below with minimal visual degradation.

  H.264 -> H.265 -> AV1

  1GB -> 600MB -> 350MB

  Once Intel ARC cards are supported natively in UnRaid, I’ll be transcoding everything to AV1.

  Hardware encoding for AV1 is really all that has been missing for it to be widely used for homelab setups.

  This is actually the worst type of end-user.

  Doesn’t make a ticket or notify anyone that there is a problem and then proceeds to try and fix it themselves incorrectly. When it does become a ticket, they won’t remember exactly what steps they took to troubleshoot and will waste 5x as much time from support staff trying to fix it than if they just didn’t touch it in the first place.

  Guaranteed didn’t wipe the machine from the built in reset/recovery screen and instead used a windows installer that was created on a different computer and doesn’t have the correct network drivers in the image.

  For sure has sensors. He grabbed the ping pong ball at the beginning and threw it pretty randomly onto the plate. Would be pretty unlikely that that was part of a pre-programmed sequence.
