do we have av1 support for web app version??

[Riezel 33]

i just got this trying to play av1 files in the web


i've tried it in Chrome, Opera, Edge (PC side) and native mobile (android) browser, nothing working
but the good things is, if you're using the app like Emby-Theater / Emby app on android, it's working without issue (direct play / transcode it to lower resolution), so the question is, do we have av1 support in the web version player??

i've attached the log, in case you want to see the log

hi, it is already supported in the web app. In this example, the browser video player reported an error and so the web app switched to transcoding.

yeah, i've tried forcing it from the start as well (force transcoding to 480p for example), but it's still the same result (no playback at all)
also my friend tested HEVC in mac (web version) earlier (kinda got the same error) here is the recording (from mac, should be latest update)
