Some YouTube videos only play audio, no video, in Edge v116
ISSUE There is an issue in the Edge 116 stable-release with some YouTube videos. Some videos that used to play without-issue in the 115 release no-longer work in the 116 release: the audio...
UPDATE 29 AUG
I've just tested today and of the eight videos YouTube displayed by-default, only three of them work in Edge (video and audio). All eight worked fine when I tested them in Firefox.
Key: green-tick = videos fully-working in Edge; red-X = videos play as audio-only
The videos that DO work are encoded as one of the following:
• vp09.00.51.08.01.01.01.01.00 (247) / mp4a.40.2 (140)
• vp09.00.51.08.01.01.01.01.00 (247) / opus (251)
The videos that DO NOT work are all encoded as follows:
• av01.0.05M.08 (398) / opus (251)
I'm guessing "av01" refers to the new "AV1" format, and it's that which is broken?
but its not broken in other main browsers including Firefox. When will edge prove it better than others including Firefox?
