HEVC video decoding broken with B-frames
When Edge Chromium playing HEVC video, sometimes video will be similar to stuttering but audio is normal. To find out the cause of the problem, I test to playback many HEVC video, include videos ...

Just to add this example and I do see this issue on Edge stable and have sent feedback.

I've read that Edge uses software decoding instead of hardware for HEVC so it all comes to the way the software is implemented

Keep us updated and lets hope they will pick up the issue. Otherwise I have to compile Chromium myself with the HEVC coded enabled. But that is a pain.
Edit: I totally didn't see the second page. My bad lol - HotCakeXJan 26, 2021MVPThat error means your Microsoft account is not registered in Windows insider program.
non-insiders can't view insider feedbacks, and Vice Versa. - HotCakeXJan 26, 2021MVPAh you don't need insider, that's how how feedback hub is currently
- GrandDynamoMar 21, 2021Brass ContributorYouTube doesn't use HEVC as video codec. They use AVC/VP9/AV1 afaik.

Hmm I always thought that Edge offloads the decoding to the Operating System as I have read that Microsoft does not want to pay for the licensing of HEVC (complicated patent pools). I don't know a lot of Edge and the inner workings of it as I mainly use Edge for HEVC playback (intended to use) so that's interesting to hear.
- HotCakeXJan 25, 2021MVPHmm, but I remember paying .99$ for the HEVC extension in the store. so maybe MSFT doesn't want to pay but we are paying xD
- WittycatJan 25, 2021Steel Contributori have an automated reponse from the report feature who tell me they check what they can do for this problem.
- DeletedJan 25, 2021What do you meam by that, you got a reponse?
- WittycatJan 25, 2021Steel Contributori actually have the HVEC codec (yes i have paid it and the video player of microsoft read it perfectly), but the stuttering remain in edge.
