Dev channel update to 82.0.446.0 is live
josh_bodner welp, my previous post was classified as spam and removed so reposting a tl;dr version without any links.
There's a weird issue with how Edge interacts with mpv player on Windows. It's impossible to download a media file that is associated with mpv player using Edge. For example a webm file associated (open with) with mpv. Either nothing will happen when you try to save it in Edge (no Save window popup) or Edge will offer to Open a file (in mpv) instead of showing "Save" window.
Easy way to reproduce is try to download a webm with Edge when webm isn't associated with any player, and do the same after assigning webm format to open with mpv.
This doesn't happen with Chromium or Firefox, only new Edge.
lunarsound which channel of Edge do you see this in? And if you change your setting to ask before saving a file, does it help?
josh_bodner Changing "ask before save" has no effect on this and it happens on all channels: Canary, Dev and Beta.
Mpv on Windows integrates into OS via mpv-install.bat that comes with the player so it might be due to some weird registry paths mpv adds. But since other browsers, including vanilla Chromium, have no such issue and work fine, this leads me to believe that this is mainly an Edge issue.
lunarsound did you install Edge after installing MPV or before? Have you tried re-installing either to see if it helps?
