        Not when you are using an NVR with scrubbing and everything in the web UI. https://frigate.video/

        All in all it would be an inconvenient workaround for something that already works seamlessly across Safari, Edge, Chrome etc.

            How is giving a sober and straightforward explanation of why he can’t use Firefox “bitching”? The simple fact is “switch to Firefox” isn’t a solution for everyone in every case. Burying your head in the sand about that benefits nobody.

      Jellyfin can handle the transcoding to AV1 where needed. Albeit that’s a bit less ideal than direct play as you need the hardware to transcode.
