Is AV1 playback supported in TV.app, QuickTime, QuickLook, etc. on platforms with hardware decoding (specifically an M3 MacBook)?

If so, what ffmpeg settings are needed to produce compatible videos? I know for H.265 apple's apps were particularly strict about stream tagging (there were two common type tags, only one worked), pixel format (no software fallback), etc., but I haven't managed to find the corresponding information for AV1.
 
Yes. 8-bit and 10-bit 4:2:0 is supported. Might want to use a shorter GOP because seeking with a too long GOP is a bit buggy.
