I've read comments from people saying they can play AV1 media on their rpi4 (no LE, just raspbian) while others say they are choppy.
I'm using LE 11 and I'm one of the later ones. On slow scenes you can see it drags, while on fast action scenes you can definitely see the jumps.
I've noticed that there have been recent improvements in the AV1 decoder dav1d with latest 1.5.0 even saying "Optimize Armv8.0 NEON"
And LE HEAD has been updated to use that latest version https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…av1d/package.mk
What I'd like to know is if anyone running nightly LE12 (note LE 12.0.1 doesn't have latest dav1d) can play 1080p AV1 smoothly?
Is there hope for the RPi4 or should I just stop dreaming and move on to the RPi5?
