I have some questions, all 4k HDR content on netflix are now in AV1 ? And will it be usable on rpi 4 ? thanks

this is pretty WIP and not well tested mainly netflix use AV1 to replace AVC(H.264) and i don't think netflix provide AV1-HDR for now RPI use software decoding only for DRM, then if the CPU is powerful enough it will be able to have smooth playback
