By curiosity, what is the patent issue?
The software decoder for hevc is LGPLv2.1, so why does it create an issue?

Note that this configure command will contain the software hevc decoder
(note that I haven't enabled gpl): ./configure --disable-programs
--disable-debug --disable-doc --disable-autodetect --enable-libdav1d
--disable-avdevice
