Edge Chromium Official release seems to not work with Dishanywhere streaming
So, Dish appears to use BitMovin as their means of playing on-demand content over the web.
I think they use both widevide and playready DRM
but most is playready, i think.
Now bitmoving has an online demo
https://bitmovin.com/demos/stream-test?
And it looks like PlayReady is still possibly failing, even though i thought i read this was now fixed and working a few builds ago?
So here is chrome, running same exact content that fails in edge
Ok now here is same thing in Edge
Now note the console errors
I found the errors were supposedly specific to playready DRM
So i did a test with bitmovin's demo site
WideVine DRM
Playready
Now all was tested using DASH as that is what dish uses to let the bitrate adjust as needed
In Edge, is seems playready fails with DASH encoded streams?
It is not using HLS as Edge can play the HLS playready tests, and ALL the WideVine tests
At least from what i can tell with my non expert tinkering, some kind of playready issue when material is DASH encoded?
josh_bodner any ideas?
Any thoughts?
Wiesshund which Edge channel are you seeing this in? We just fixed an issue in today's Dev channel update where videos with certain encodings failed to play.
Sadly, the dev channel i just pulled down suffers the same issue.
Version 84.0.522.5 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
Seems to barf on playready drm sent in DASH encoding
Wiesshund Thank you for the detailed feedback!
The Media team just let josh_bodner and I know that this is likely a different known issue. If you haven't yet, it would be great if you could submit this feedback and diagnostic data through the browser (Shift+Alt+I) so that the devs can look at the logs.

I sent in a new feedback, linking to this thread, and tried to explain to them to refer to this thread
as the feedback form only allows for limited input and a single screen shot.Hopefully that works for them?
PS
If the devs need access to a dish anywhere account for testing
if they send me a request, i would be willing to privately allow them to use mine.
Wiesshund probably a different issue than the one we fixed, then. I'll ask our video team if this is a known issue.
josh_bodner This is in what i guess you would call the RTM channel?
The public, live windows updates channel, non insider/beta/etc.
How ever you would refer to that
the version that went out in the may updates
I will pull down the dev channel build and try it and see how it fairs
