Ah, yes, that’s correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won’t play.

Huh, there’s a term for that? TIL
Y’know, there’s a similar one used in the gemstone industry: “eye clean,” which only applies if the stone has no inclusions (artifacts) that can be seen with the naked eye. As you can imagine, it’s usually a pretty desirable trait, especially in diamonds. It doesn’t really matter if there’s random garbage floating around in it, it just has to be undetectable to our human eyes.
I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It’ll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.
Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it’s pretty widely supported.
Sorry, doesn’t look like it supports AV1:
Video Playback
Supported formats include HEVC, MV‑HEVC, H.264, HDR with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG
Not watching, I cut the cord to avoid commercials. But OTA + antenna , as others said, is a solid way to watch network content for free if you can get a good signal.
