Dev channel update to 84.0.516.1 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 84.0.516.1 to the Dev channel. In community news, we’ve got another AMA coming up! It’s happening Thursday over on Reddit, see https://twitter.com/MSEdg...
Will the casting work for DLNA Devices(Home TVs, projectors) or only ChromeCast devices? Any plans in case it is not supported?
Well, he did say
"Added UI to help enable media casting if users attempt to use it while it’s disabled. Note that casting is currently only supported via ChromeCast devices. "I just want to know where this is located?
"Added a Website Permissions Settings page for when a website wants to access serial ports. "

Hi Dennis5mile
the serial port feature is located in the settings page inside "Site permissions": edge://settings/content/serialPorts

Neon01 I think this feature would be a good candidate for having zone-level permissions. At present, the only options are
"Site permissions/ Serial ports
Ask when a site wants to access serial ports (recommended)Will block if turned off"
Obviously I don't want any dodgy web site (Farcebook / Gargle) on the internet to go tweedling my serial ports, but I can see it would be useful to have the option on intranets, and maybe always on for trusted sites - e.g. a factory floor where the PC is connected to a SCADA device / scales etc. At present the only practical way to attach industrial kit to the intranet is to have an app running locally on each PC.Similarly, I had one customer who wanted to be able to print a receipt from a web app after a simple zap with a bar code reader. There was no way I could find to suppress the print dialog and "JUST PRINT DAMMIT" - there is only one printer, the same printer every day. It added seconds & clicks to every transaction, and there could be a lot of transactions.
