AOMedia Video 1 (AV1), is an open, royalty-free video coding formatdesigned for video transmissions over the Internet. It is being developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), a consortium of firms from the semiconductor industry, video on demand providers, and web browser developers, founded in 2015.
AV1 is meant to succeed its predecessor VP9 and compete with HEVC/H.265 from the Moving Picture Experts Group.[1] It is the primary contender for standardization by the video standard working group NetVC of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).[2] The group has put together a list of criteria to be met by the new video standard.[3]
AV1 is intended to be able to be used together with the audio format Opus in a future version of the WebM container format for HTML5 web video and WebRTC.[4]

--enable-libaom will enable av1 in ffmpeg

I take it you have already tried one or more AV1 encoded videos on your machine.
How does AV1 hold up during various video resolutions, CPU-wise?
AFAIK, there aren't that many hardware solutions for AV1 yet.
And not everyone has a powerful Ryzen CPU machine.

I've tried this ~3 months ago. From kodi pov nothing has to be done, but compile ffmpeg with libaom. Easily done on linux.
The result was a stutterfest though

reason for it to be a stutterfest is that its single core atm hehe
