Supported is different from doing it well though. You do notice the performance hit even on TVs that playback YouTube videos on AV1.
replyEven on 1080p videos running on AV1 on 1x, the TV system bogs down and any kind of interaction has a variable 1-3s lag. On some TVs if you do 1.25x the TV automatically "downgrades" the resolution to 480p to avoid dropping frames.
I wish there was an option to still use VP9 / H.264 on those systems (even limited to 1080p).
More reason to never use the builtin stuff in a tv. Cheap sticks can handle decoding fine.
replyYoutube artificially limits the resolution, on mine if you cast the exact same video it doesn’t impose that limit and works fine.
replyYeah I could imagine the AV1 codec sticking around for a very long while, even as a fallback for AV2. There's still hundreds of millions of people out there using old/cheap devices (especially in developing countries) where that battery drain from software decoding is a big problem, so AV2 would be nonviable.
replySome of the early use of VP9 and AV1 was Netflix serving video to people in developing countries. Their metered bandwidth was more of a bottleneck than the CPU playback.
replySame. Mostly AV1, sometimes VP9, and rarely h264.
replyWhat's missing mostly: live streams which are h264.
Currently, and I say currently, dav1d is so fast, no worries on that side.
