bug#39703: MPV chooses the slow AV1 decoder
After 4 years, many upstream releases of mpv and FFmpeg, and a new laptop, I'm closing this bug as "not actionable".
bug#39703: MPV chooses the slow AV1 decoder
I noticed that our MPV cannot play back AV1 videos in real-time on my Thinkpad x230 laptop. MPV gets AV1 playback support from FFmpeg. Our FFmpeg package includes both the libaom and dav1d AV1 decoders. I think that MPV is using libaom, and that is too slow. I rebuilt FFmpeg without libaom, and MPV can play my AV1 test file fine now, using dav1d. I wonder, is there a way to change the preference?
