Edge Chromium dropping frames on YouTube videos
Hello (system specs are on the end of the post). I've both Edge Chromium dev (Version 83.0.478.10 (Official build) dev (64-bit)) and Edge Chromium (Version 81.0.416.58 (Official build) (64-bit)) i...
Gimmy077 I've spent years trying to solve this YouTube problem, and finally found the solution.
Go to edge://flags and look for "Media Foundation playback for Windows 10". Change from default to enabled. That's it! Now the YouTube reproduction will be exactly the same as the good old Edge Legacy. No more dropped frames, ZERO. And I have an old machine (ASRock N73V-S, Core 2 Quad Q8400, GeForce GT 1030 2GB, 4GB mailto:DDR-2@667, SSD Kingston A400 120GB), and here are some screenshots to show perfect playback even at mailto:8K@60.
Hope this helps.
Just on more thing: you must have installed Windows 10 Media Feature Pack, these are the codecs for Media Foundation to work. But it comes with every version of Windows, unless the N edition.
Thankyou, this worked for me.
- You obviously don't have the same issue as most of us then.
30 FPS videos have no issue, 60FPS videos will not only drop frames, but the quality qill go from 4K to 1080p all the way down to 480p, but as I said will only do it with 60fps videos.
