Feature description

Add the option to play AV1 codecs for YouTube when the device supports it via MediaCodec (if av1 will be available on selected videos from yt).

It is a nice feature, like it suprise me that my cheapest phone can play AV1 HDR videos on YouTube app, limited to 720p60 HDR.

Why do you want this feature?

YouTube mobile app can play AV1 with HW accelerated AV1 decoder. Same case with Chrome for Android via local playback. While the NewPipe stick to VP9 or AVC. That means this project is lack of support AV1 videos just yet. That's why I wish to have AV1 support on NewPipe that I can't help you fix them. But it is a nice feature to have AV1 for everyone who can test it for their supported devices.

Additional information

Device: itel S23 (itel S665L)
SoC: Unisoc Tiger T606 (ums9230)
Android version: 12 (API 31) (arm64-v8a)
Since: v0.25.2

This device itel S23 4G (Unisoc T606) is interesting, because it has HW AV1 decoder out of the box made by Unisoc formerely Spreadtrum. On top of that, it is very cheap to buy in the market rn. Here, I installed “Codec Info” com.parseus.codecinfo to see the actual parameters below like this.

That means, it can play AV1 videos in 720p60. HDR10 decoding on AV1 is also nice even without a proper support HDR screens.
