Comment on Internet upload speeds on self-hosted Jellyfin/Plex Servers?
ReedReads@lemmy.zip 2 days agoJust saw your edit. Yeah, all of those are familiar to me. Most are on the “banned groups” list lol. I actually have spent the better part of this year, building my own encode library with AV1. It has been more of a fun, educational thing than anything else, but after about 4-6 months, I’ve finally got my settings where I am happy with the size/bitrate/qualitiy tradeoff.
I only download full quality remuxes and then go from there. The encodes are what are shared to F&F while I watch the remux version locally because, why not? I usually delete the remux version once I’m happy with the encode quality.
But some movies, like Traffic, just don’t lend themselves to an AV1 encode yet. So while it works for most movies, it doesn’t work for all of them. Nevertheless, it’s been a fun project.

Doing your own encodes is also really cool. I’m not too sure what the AV1 compatibility of your friends’ players would be, but yes AV1 encodes are a very efficient way to microsize. If you happen to be on PTP, there’s a giant AV1 research thread with people testing stuff out. It looks like they prefer SVT-AV1-PSYEX as of the latest posts, though I don’t know enough to understand which encoding settings are the most impactful.

I would love to be in PTP. Hopefully one day. Just in the mids now like ATH and BLU.
The PSYEX fork of AV1 is what I’m using too. It’s a big improvement over the stock AOM fork.
