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 ...
I tried to install the HEVC extension before July 2020, and there is no such problem on version 21821 and 31823.
In the November release of version 33424 has been recently updated to version 41483 has shown a decoding problem.

You are absolutely right, very nice find. So it may actually be a regression of the HEVC Extension itself and not completely related to Edge. It's still interesting that the Movies & TV app plays the same video just fine on any version
This is still not fixed. The video file in the top half of the page is an HEVC video with b-frames. Still a laggy/stuttery mess in Edge Stable and Dev. https://h265.webmfiles.org/embed-h265-video.php
To clarify, I only noticed this issue again because I guess the Store must've let the HEVC Extension auto-update itself again. Re-installing 31823 and restarting Edge makes b-frame playback work just fine. How does a regression like this go unfixed for close to a year?
