Hi folks, recently I’ve been contemplating the idea of an AV1-only tracker. Just out of curiosity, do you think you’d find use in something like this? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
I would use it much like I’ve converted my collection to h265 when that became prevalent. The only thing barring me is that Plex doesn’t work with AV1 yet as far as I know, otherwise I would be working on shrinking my library size already.
Why doesn’t Plex support AV1 yet? Isn’t it just using ffmpeg?

Yeah I’d be down for that. It’s a specific niche that I don’t think exists yet. Would need to have some QC on the encodes coming out though, or it could become ugly pretty quick.
Would be pretty cool.
I’ve dowoaded a few av1 things now and the file sizes are game changing for me
Man I’ve been out of the loop bc I didn’t even know about this until this post.
I would 100% be on board, I could even do some encoding again like the good ole days lol.
If something newer and even better came out the tracker could always pivot and adapt. Basically could be the “early adopter” movie tracker, which I’m all about.
I don’t think so. A tracker that incentives members to transcode uploads to AV1? Sure, otherwise no.
