  > PS5, XBox One From https://netflixtechblog.com/bringing-av1-streaming-to-netflix-members-tvs-b7fc88e42320 https://netflixtechblog.com/bringing-av1-streaming-to-netfli...: "Netflix has also partnered with YouTube to develop an open-source solution for an AV1 decoder on game consoles that utilizes the additional power of GPUs."

    Which is one part of the problem. But still today you can take an HEVC iPhone or GoPro video and watch it on your PS5 with full hardware encoding. This open source solution doesn't help with that.
