Introduction to dav1d

The dav1d package contains an AV1 decoder.

Note

This may take a while to build. Feel free to do something else while this is building.

Important

For the lib32 installation instructions, they require new Meson cross files from MLFS, as --libdir=/usr/lib32 has been moved to the cross files and no longer appear in the instructions. Install the new cross files so that 32-bit libraries don't get installed in /usr/lib.
