It started at January 4 2024 when the native VVC decoder is released on FFmpeg, but it was experimental without IBC (Intra Block Copy).
On February 24 2024, the finally moment about Intra Block Copy has been merged into FFmpeg's official repository, which means native VVC decoder on FFmpeg is completed and it's stable.
His hard work is very good and made by nuomi2021 to make native VVC decoder release to FFmpeg.
Now you can use official MPV binaries by shinchiro or my custom build of MPV VVCEasy build to play or decode VVC in MPV. Also FFmpeg too with Btbn or Gyan or VVCEasy builds. :)
Update of 21.03.2024: On March 14th 2024, the official FFmpeg native VVC decoder set to experimental for some little bugs.
See the FFmpeg commit: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/110d8549d575aae6b2f627cd63e2eb7082ab8926
Switched native VVC decoder back to external VVC decoder of libvvdec after native VVC decoder is experimental.

MPV Android libvvdec app requires your system type of ARM64 (aarch64), x86 (i686), ARMv7 (armeabi-v7a) and x86_64 to run on Android, Windows requires to run x64 or Linux requires to run x64.
Windows/Linux/Android MPV Player doesn't work seek duration of VVC decoded file only, but only mp4 video container mixed 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 re-mux from .266 to .mp4 file again.
AppImage needs required fuse installed of your Linux distribution on your computer.
Some Linux distributions may not work for AppImage, which may result segmentation fault. Builded & tested on Ubuntu 22.04.2.
About Linux MPV VVCEasy AppImage problem before solution: The problem was that I put four shared object files of libgbm, libm, libc and libgcc_s on both AppImages, which makes some Linux distributions problem
Solution: Please update latest version of Linux or Arch Linux MPV VVCEasy AppImage, because I removed four shared object files of libgbm, libm, libc and libgcc_s to make all Linux distributions work on standalone Linux AppImage, also includes Arch Linux AppImage can work for only all Arch based operating systems.
If you're using Arch Linux or Arch based, please download the Arch Linux AppImage version. You can still use standalone Linux AppImage on Arch Linux or Arch based systems.

If you want to build MPV Android, you need to update & upgrade first, then install packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install build-essential cmake nasm libsimde-dev python3 git
Next download Temurin from Adoptium and follow the install instructions:
https://adoptium.net/installation/linux
After you installed Temurin from Adoptium, you can verify that is installed on your system:
java --version
After installing the packages on Linux, clone mpv-android-vvc repository:
cd
git clone https://github.com/MartinEesmaa/mpv-android-vvc
cd mpv-android-vvc/buildscripts
Give shell scripts permission in buildscripts folder:
chmod +x scripts/*.sh
Before you build, you need to search #ifdef __ANDROID__ and delete the lines by end #endif:
nano deps/fdkaac/libSBRdec/src/lpp_tran.cpp
Save the file in nano editor, when you finished removing #ifdef __ANDROID lines.
TIP: You can edit script of vvdec.sh by your own choice.
Continue follow instructions to build your own MPV build:
