   Thanks for the report. As far as I can tell your TV (2022 A2) can decode AV1 in hardware. PlxNative currently only direct plays H.264 and HEVC, so AV1 files go to the server to be transcoded, and with transcoding off they fail. That's the gap, so I'm keeping this open as a feature request for native AV1. If you can, please attach the event log from a failed attempt, fetched with Dev Manager as described in Collecting logs. Please don't include a Plex token.
