Is it possible for Edge to play HEVC (H265) MKV files ?
I'm wondering, is it possible for Edge to play HEVC (H265) MKV files ? the reason is I watch lots of movies online and they are in HVEC (H.265) format, sometimes in MKV and sometimes in MP4, Edge...
Edge now does have support for HEVC/h265 and also dolby content. The only issue is that it won't play MKV, the files need to be in a MP4 container, which could be as simple as renaming the file extension.
+1 What's the point of installing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions/9nmzlz57r3t7 from the Microsoft Store if Edge is simply gonna ignore them?
- Oh nice of you to mention that, yes that extension, I actually paid for it lol something that comes free with VLC (both Win32 and UWP version). I don't regret it though, 1$ is nothing, just wanna use it on the new Edge
- Pay for something you can't use. Just bought the same useless crap. Lol.
