What benefits are there compared to Emby? Been using it for quite some time and very curious! How is av1 support on jellyfin?

  For your second question: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/codec-support/#video-compatibility https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/codec-support/#vid...

    They don't list Infuse on there, but it's pretty great in its support of pretty much everything. The Apple TV has certainly surprised me by being an excellent platform for in-home streaming.

      Yes, Infuse is excellent, highly recommend it on iOS devices.

  jellyfin is open source, that's enough reason for me.

  Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Emby used to be open source, when it went closed source Jellyfin was formed off of it. AV1 playback works on devices that support it. You'll need server-side transcoding for devices that don't. Jellyfin can do this by shelling out to FFMPEG, which can optionally use hardware accelerated codecs if they're available to it. So basically, "it depends", but Jellyfin itself supports AV1 media.

  If you want to use hardware acceleration in Emby you have to pay for "Emby Premiere". Jellyfin, not having tiered versions, provides this for free. This is obviously useful in general, but i rely on it to run a media server on my low-end minipc with Intel Quick Sync.
