[Android] Edge/Chrome and pink video playback

Iron Contributor

Hi all,
On one of my Samsung TabA tablets, Edge (and Chrome) started to playback YT videos in the browser as a solid pink-purplish color. Audio plays fine.
After some digging, this can be remedied with a flag that unfortunately seems to only exist in Chrome:
flags/#use-passthrough-command-decoder
Or it is completely described differently in the edge flags.

Does someone know the issue above, or what the equivalent option is in Edge?
I have to admit the Android version on the tablet is a tad old as well, as on my phones it all is working fine.

cheers!

Hey Rob, I have the same issue since yesterday, it's reaaally weird and disturbing when you're having boot issues on your computer, and you grab your phone to look for solutions on YouTube 😂

Everything was absolutely horrible for me, but I was able to solve the issue with my computer! I don't use Edge for videos, just very few times when strictly necessary and this time IT WAS!
But I couldn't see any video, all pink, sound was fine.

I hope we can find help and the solution.
Greetings.
