Edge Chromium Official release seems to not work with Dishanywhere streaming
Wiesshund That sounds perfect. If you don't hear anything further in a few days, you can reach out to me and I can help make sure the right team sees it.

Any headway or anything on this guys?
This is probably the only thing at this point that is forcing me to use chrome and keep it installed
Well, it has been working fine like this
Which, considering Dish's co-operative track record, might be the best you can do

Yes, although that's just a workaround since we'd eventually like to fix this, but just can't prioritize the work right now. - Ok, i disabled playready, and yes it did seem to work
So you are thinking to have edge detect dish's domain and then disable on the fly for that?
Seems like it would work - josh_bodner
Wiesshund given that we aren't any closer to either side providing an actual fix (we still aren't seeing any actual errors on the PlayReady side, so it's hard for us to verify where in the pipeline this is failing), our video team is considering disabling PlayReady on Dish specifically and just making it fall back to WideVine. Before they can do that though, we need to verify that Dish will work when PlayReady is completely disabled, so since you have a Dish account, could you disable the edge://flags/#edge-playready-drm-win10 flag and verify that Dish works as expected?
- How we looking?
Any updates yet? - josh_bodner
Wiesshund our capacity is pretty reduced right now because of the holidays, but I'll check back again in the new year!

Wiesshund You're right about number 1, even with the feedback button right there in the toolbar, most people just don't report those sort of things. For number 2 though, Dish originally made their support policy back when Edge Legacy was a thing, so some of the outreach we've been doing is to try to convince them that, now that we're functionally similar to Chrome (although not identical since we also have our own DRM that's unfortunately giving us unique problems), it should be relatively trivial for them to support Edge, especially since we can also do things on our end to help their servers treat us the same as Chrome if they want us to.

Well as far as complaints received, two things1) Average user has no idea how or where to send a complaint or anything
2) When they call DISH, the CSR's tell the user that edge is not support and not a good browser
(not kidding, call them and pretend to be a customer)
and to use google chrome as DISH only supports ChromeAs far as a dish account
If you guys pm or email me, you can use mine- josh_bodner
Wiesshund We've still got the issue on our backlog, but we honestly aren't hearing many other complaints about this site not working. I'm going to see if we can at least get somebody on our team with a dish account to try this out since we've just been working with bitmovin's code directly.
