I'm wondering, is it possible for Edge to play HEVC (H265) MKV files ?
the reason is I watch lots of movies online and they are in HVEC (H.265) format, sometimes in MKV and sometimes in MP4, Edge can't play them so I have to either use VLC or Windows media player to play the video stream. it would be awesome if Edge supported this so i could just open the file in the browser without the need for 3rd party programs.

+1 What's the point of installing HEVC Video Extensions from the Microsoft Store if Edge is simply gonna ignore them?

SolutionEdge now does have support for HEVC/h265 and also dolby content. The only issue is that it won't play MKV, the files need to be in a MP4 container, which could be as simple as renaming the file extension.
