Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When i try AV1 decoding on my Chromebook with the Android app, it steps back to HEVC. My chromebook (Asus Cx5500) can handle AV1 decoding (i'm using AV1 for Chrome remote desktop).
Describe the solution you'd like
Chromebook runs an Android ARCVM container. The Android version of Moonlight is still up to date. That's not the case for the Chromebook version throught the Chrome Web Store. Plus, AV1 decoding works on my phone (Pixel 6).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Android ARCVM container on Chromebooks can handle AV1, an android app can see it (Media Codec Info)

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the AV1 fallback on the Asus Cx5500 and comparing Android ARCVM behavior with the Chromebook version from the Chrome Web Store. Done means AV1 decoding is selected in that environment instead of falling back to HEVC.
