HEVC video decoding broken with B-frames
When Edge Chromium playing HEVC video, sometimes video will be similar to stuttering but audio is normal. To find out the cause of the problem, I test to playback many HEVC video, include videos ...
Hmm I always thought that Edge offloads the decoding to the Operating System as I have read that Microsoft does not want to pay for the licensing of HEVC (complicated patent pools). I don't know a lot of Edge and the inner workings of it as I mainly use Edge for HEVC playback (intended to use) so that's interesting to hear.
Hmm, but I remember paying .99$ for the HEVC extension in the store. so maybe MSFT doesn't want to pay but we are paying xD
- They remove expired flags, but there are flags that will bring back expired flags, for a limited time
e.g.
edge://flags/#temporary-unexpire-flags-m86
edge://flags/#temporary-unexpire-flags-m87 
Well it used to be under a flag but that is no more around 😞- That's good to know, i assume if it's getting fixed we will see it first in canary
- i actually have the HVEC codec (yes i have paid it and the video player of microsoft read it perfectly), but the stuttering remain in edge.
