Consider any future clients you might have or if you decide to share with other people the clients they have. I personally think it’s worth spending a few extra bucks now to ensure compatibility in the future.
Comment on Must my Jellyfin server be able to AV1 videos?

Good point, and I agree - after reading all the responses, I’m leaning toward spending the few extra bucks so that I don’t have to fret all the potential scenarios that might require transcoding.

Probably the safe bet. Though I think my 8th gen Intel does AV1 decode as well. But it’s not hardware accelerated and full hd is the limit, it can’t do 4k or reltime av1 encoding.

Also if you want another resolution. Then it’ll also transcode afaik.

Yes.
If you always direct-play, the only bitrate you can use is original.
If ever need to watch on a slow connections using a lower bitrate, that will requure transcoding.

Or if you want subtitles but the player doesn’t support them. Then jellyfin will need to burn them into the stream.
