Edge still dropping frames forcing video playback to drop to 480p why not fix?
So 3-4 months ago, Edge updated and ever since then, all Youtube videos and yes only youtube videos, drop down to 480p when watching them, sometimes dropping down to 360p. This doesn't happen on ...
And to be clear, this is 60 frame videos, other videos with either 50 or 25 have no issue.
Can anyone else confirm if this applies to them as well, in the Bleeding Edge version of Edge (yeah no pun meant), if it is the only tab open I seem to be able to player mailto:4K@60 or for that matter, any video with 60fps.
The moment there is a second tab or more, Edge will not play 60fps videos and it keeps dropping the quality till it hits 480, or even 360.
I am guessing this a Chromium issue, as Chrome itself has the same exact issue. I tried this on a number of computers with varying internet speeds now, and have confirmed that for me, only one tab will work when viewing videos with 60fps.
