Is it possible for Edge to play HEVC (H265) MKV files ?
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.

HEVC support for chromium edge
I try to play HEVC on canalia Edge(Ver 85.0.531.1). But this movie file can not play. I looked up how to play HEVC on Edge. Then I found that I need to enable two flags: 1.PlayReady DRM for Windows 10 2.PlayReady Experimental HEVC Decoding But the second flag(PlayReady Experimental HEVC Decoding) does not show up in the Edge I'm using. (I installed Microsoft.HEIFImageExtension and Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension.) Did Microsoft stop supporting HEVC? What kind of things do you think could be the cause?
