Limitations & Tips

MPV Android libvvdec app requires your system type of ARM64 (aarch64), x86 (i686), ARMv7 (armeabi-v7a) and x86_64 to run on Android or Windows requires to run x64.

Windows/Android MPV Player doesn't work seek duration of VVC decoded file only, but only mp4 video container muxed with VVC video codec is only seek supported, including audio & subtitle too.

Some Android users for 10-bit pixel format or/and tier high might not show video in mp4 container with VVC video codec only.

Solution: Please download latest mp4box nightly version and remux from .266 to .mp4 file again.
