Watching AV1 videos on Emby applications (Android and MacOS) without server encoding (Direct Play) is really bad. Playing AV1 videos works really smooth in browsers on the same devices (Samsung Galaxy S20 and MacBook Pro with i7-8850H).

Hi Guys, Isn't it possible to transcode just the audio track in a stream? (Like with H264) I try on emby but it doesn't work. will it work in the future? For example, if an AV1 file has an audio track with DTS and the device does not support DTS, then H264 will only transcode the audio track. <- AWESOME This doesn't work with HEVC, that's why I hate HEVC and was hoping it works on AV1... But apparently if the audio codec is not supported by the client, AV1 is transcoded to H264, is there no audio coding alone with AV1 either? That would be really bad if you have a lot of DTS and 1 or 2 people with LG TV without DTS license or Browser play Another question: Would you rather choose MKV or MP4 for AV1? I heard MP4 is better for remote streaming. Another question: why is AV1 to AV1 (or HEVC to HEVC) transcoding not supported if the audio format doesn't fit or you want a lower video bitrate? It is always XY to H264 which means a high loss of quality and bandwidth. AV1 / HEVC encode + decode is possible to reduce the bit rate or correct the audio track?
