Attached: 1 image Google confirms that Android is switching to VideoLAN's libdav1d decoder for AV1 video playback! I first reported back in February that Google plans to roll out a Play System Update that enables libdav1d as Android's default AV1 software decoder. Yesterday, Arif Dikici, Software Development Manager on the Android Video and Image Codecs team, confirmed the news on LinkedIn.
