Support for HEVC / Netflix 4K
Iengelen I've just checked it and you're correct! It seems they fixed that literately today in the Canary channel (doesn't still work in Beta). I don't know what's happening but let's hope it'll stay that way.
When 4K doesn't work it streams AVC instead of HEVC and only 1080p. You can easily check that in A/V Stats (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + D).
That's right, Edge legacy supported these features that the new Chromium based Edge
even the latest Version 81.0.403.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), doesn't support them.
- MPEG-4 ASP support
- H.265 support
- Dynamic Adaptive Streaming / MPEG-DASH
- HTTP Live Streaming / HLS
HotCakeX Thanks for the confirmation. It's a bit shame that something that's being rolled out as a replacement for old legacy Edge drops one of its best features. Feels like a downgrade. More over when it's actually advertised on the official website - "https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/features".
Do you know if there are any plans for adding it in the future? It must be technically possible - the beta version around November actually supported HEVC.
- It did? it must have been version 78 or 79 at that time. doesn't make sense that it's now removed in version 81.
