A new video codec, Pyrowave, is available in the custom streaming settings. It is experimental and your experience will vary greatly depending on your network connection. We're evaluating whether this is generally useful for people and whether it should be available as an option for mobile devices.

You can find out more, and leave us feedback here:

If it’s found not so good for iOS but great for appleTV (where I think pyrowave will shine) will it be kept?

The Pyrowave option seems to be greyed out at my Apple TV (A2169). Anything I could do to make it work? It does seem to work on the iPhone

The Pyrowave option is only available on the 3rd generation Apple TV (released in 2022)

Does this use the AV1 hardware decoding in the Apple SoC’s (on the Pro chips)?

Yes, it does.
