Severe Frame Drops in Microsoft Edge When Playing Tencent Video HEVC at 1080P in Windows
When playing HEVC videos from Tencent Video(https://v.qq.com) on Microsoft Edge (Windows), I experience severe frame drops at 1080P resolution. However, this issue does not occur when playing ...
That definitely sounds frustrating! Frame drops at 1080P shouldn't be happening, especially when everything runs smoothly in Chrome. It might be a compatibility or optimization issue with how Edge handles HEVC playback, especially from certain sources like Tencent Video.
It could be worth reporting directly to Microsoft if you haven't already—they might not be aware of how specific this issue is. Hopefully, a fix rolls out soon.
I’ve had a similar experience with streaming platforms before, but interestingly, playback on https://mymagistv.com.co has been smooth for me even at higher resolutions. Maybe it’s how the video is encoded or how the site delivers the stream.
Either way, fingers crossed Edge sorts it out soon!
