Thank you, I am waiting for solution.

Same for me.
It seems to be VLC the culprit:

Why are you all downgrading? I have dav1d 1.3.0.-1 and libdav1d.so.7, as well as ffmpeg and ffmpeg4.4, and I had no problems upgrading, nor do I have any problems watching videos with vlc.
However, I’ve also no problem with dav1d 1.3.0.-1.

Well, it would seem to me that the downgrade actually causes more problems than leaving it at 1.3.0.-1. 
I don’t downgrade no nothing, pamac does !
And as you can see, once I removed VLC, I cannot install it anymore.
I run Xfce like the OP, but don’t know if it’s linked.
I partially upgrade my distribution by using this command, however it looks like just temporary solution, but the problem still itself .
sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=ffmpeg,ffmpeg4.4
I’m still wanting the final and proper fix.
This is really just a temporary solution as not all apps are working (e. g. chromium, ferdium, etc.)
That’s your penitence for using pamac to update your system instead of pacman.

I removed the downgraded libdav1d from testing and stable: However it seems KDE Gear is still broken due to this.
How did you manage to get dav1d 1.3.0-1 when none of the mirrorlists have that package, but only the old dav1d 1.2.1-1 package? Did you compile it yourself?
What is broken? I have KDE Plasma and dav1d 1.3.0 and no problems so far. Even the apps mentioned in the original thread are working for me (obs, Chromium, Falkon)

Solved my issues, could update & reinstall vlc, thank you 
Hmm, yeah can see that the mirrors that is selected for me when running
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu
is only mirrors that is marked out-of-date. Will just manually update to a mirror that is updated.
Edit: Yeah that did the trick, thank you!

There is a lot of confusion among some users. Let’s make it clear: the new version is generally working fine. You only have to take action (downgrade to the old one) if you use some specific programs, wrongly compiled against the older version and do not run anymore, and you really need them right now before they are fixed.
Looks like the mirror in the Netherlands isn’t up to speed. Switched to Germany, did a db refresh and everything was okay.
