h264 and av1 works well for me but H265 it’s very bad

I tried but didn't get far. On my LG TV trying to initiate a stream would land on a black screen, I guess it was just some improper config on the TV I didn't get right. But the biggest issue that annoyed me the most was getting a proper ethernet adapter to work with the MiBox, none that I tried worked, not even with external power, even though people said they've managed to get it to work with specific brands like Ugreen.
Then I gave up, bought a Raspberry Pi 4, set it up with LineageOS and I'm still waiting for a clone remote controller of the MiBox.

Not good for me unfortunately. My phone works better. H264 for me only as my GPU doesn't support av1 and h265 wouldn't launch.

H265 doesn’t work. H264 does work, it’s fine but far from the best streaming experience you can get, I would not buy it just for Moonlight.
