could you please enable AV1 playback in .webm (edit: playback via dragging the file into the browser) like Chrome has? it also utilizes dav1d 0.9.0+ which beats the pants off the Windows Store AV1 de...
As a matter of fact, AV1 decoding is computerintensive. Check if your GPU and CPU is capable of decoding AV1. As far as I know, Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series GPU and Intel Tiger Lake CPU support AV1 hardware decoding. If your hardware is underpower, playing AV1 can be troublesome.
i'm very much capable of playing it. my previous non-gaming rig, a 2400G, could play 10-bit 1080p on maybe 4-8% CPU usage ...with a media player with an up to date dav1d. i can't remember what my CPU usage was on a 3600 (under 6% i believe), but suffice to say, MPC-HC and mpv could play it fine, whereas Movies & TV with the AV1 extension couldn't.
also, the AMD 6000 series can play it too, so i'm struggling to disable the hardware decoding to simulate the playback of someone without a this-year, overpriced GPU in Movies & TV
