HEVC video decoding broken with B-frames

It causes a problem on every single video on Youtube and videos on other sites as well for me.
every single YouTube video...Hmm, I'm using YouTube 24/7, on Edge stable and Edge canary, with HVEC extension installed from Windows store, I don't see any problem.
hardware acceleration is turned on too.
the only way I can reproduce this issue is by dragging a media file from my hard drive over Edge to play it.
I never encountered any error on websites, definitely not YouTube.
YouTube is very popular, if there was something like that wrong with it, I'm sure we would see the forum flooded by posts about it.
maybe something else is wrong there.
And this whole topic is about video freezing. So yeah, it happens.

Nah. It happens in all version of Edge including stable. Chrome is fine though. If I turn hardware acceleration off, videos play normally. I normally don't use Can or Dev, so I didn't notice it until Edge Stable updated. I'm on Stable 89.0.774.54
And this whole topic is about video freezing. So yeah, it happens.video freezing only when playing a very specific media file format on the browser from hard disk.
no one here has talked about YouTube video problem.
I'm trying to help you, because it is working on my Edge and everyone else I know in real life. so if you are waiting for something to happen it might never happen and you wait forever (which is not good).
you don't have to be on Canary, i only mentioned it as an example, of course I have Edge stable version 89.0.774.54 (Official build) (64-bit) too, on latest Windows 10 20H2 update.
and this extension from Windows store installed.
btw, what's your GPU?
have you tried disabling all of your extensions? edge://extensions/
maybe one of them is causing an issue.
