A slightly on-topic question... I have an AMD GPU that supposedly supports AV1 decoding but wouldn't work in VLC which I usually use. I googled and apparently VLC doesn't support AV1 hardware decoding.

Anyone know how I can play AV1 using hardware decoding?

I used the Movies and Tv app on Windows 11 on a Nvidia GPU supporting AV1 decoding and it played it without any issues.

Firefox and Chrome will use hardware AV1 decoding on Windows when it's available.
