This has nothing to do with hardware decoding though, no? Hardware decoding generally is more restrictive in supported formats, not less restrictive. Unless you mean AV1 decoding is supported by Apple TV in hardware but not the Plex app itself…
Also, what modern formats for media typically used in Plex servers isn’t supported? Nobody uses AV1 for plex media, no offense. It’s universally h264 or h265. Or perhaps mpeg2 for super old stuff.
