Video Super Resolution Missing Options in Setting
Enhance videos in Microsoft Edge (Flag: #edge-video-super-resolution) is missing critical options in setting, making it impossible to function properly. In Version 136.0.3240.29 (Official build) beta (64-bit), as well as the previous beta build, it is missing the option to choose from three methods of video enhancement, as shown in screenshot. Here is the setting from latest beta build: This is how it is supposed to look: Thus, beta build defaults to Microsoft Super Resolution and I can't find a way to use graphics driver enhancement like RTX Super Resolution, which is critical to my experience. Also, HDR is no longer supported when video enhancement is enabled, which I believe is a limitation of Microsoft Super Resolution.Some YouTube videos only play audio, no video, in Edge v116
ISSUE There is an issue in the Edge 116 stable-release with some YouTube videos. Some videos that used to play without-issue in the 115 release no-longer work in the 116 release: the audio on such videos will play, but not the video. Even most adverts on YouTube are affected! Here is an example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nydwk87iEuM ("5 Monster Waves Caught On Camera" by "Underworld") Here you can see that video in the latest Edge and Firefox browsers: CODEC AND APP-VERSION INFO The "stats for nerds" YouTube feature reports the following codecs for that video: Edge: av01.0.04M.08 (397) / opus (251) Firefox: av01.0.01M.08 (396) / opus (251) And I am using the following software-versions: Edge: 116.0.1938.62 (Official build) (64-bit) Firefox: 117.0 (non-ESR) x64 Windows: 10 Home 22H2 x64 (Build 19045.3324) TROUBLESHOOTING I have already tried turning "Use hardware acceleration when available" off, and restarting Edge, but it made no-difference. I then turned it back on, but it made no-difference. In edge://flags I have tried turning "Hardware-accelerated video decode" to Disabled, but it made no-difference. Neither did changing "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to "D3D9" (which I read on another site to try).Live captions available in Microsoft Edge Picture-in-Picture mode
I tried it on this video that has captions available on YouTube and is in English, but it didn't work, so I'm not sure how and where it will appear, maybe not fully implemented in this build yet and will become usable in the future build. I'm also not sure whether this means Edge will just take the caption from a video like in YouTube and show it over the PiP, Or, it actually translates the voice of the video into captions and shows it to user which would be totally awesome (using speech to text capabilities). This is on Microsoft Edge Version 91.0.836.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) you need to enable these flags to get Global Media controls and PiP in them edge://flags/#global-media-controls edge://flags/#global-media-controls-picture-in-picture also if you don't have Live Captions feature, it's probably due to CFR
Severe Frame Drops in Microsoft Edge When Playing Tencent Video HEVC at 1080P in Windows
When playing HEVC videos from Tencent Video(https://v.qq.com) on Microsoft Edge (Windows), I experience severe frame drops at 1080P resolution. However, this issue does not occur when playing at 720P. Interestingly, Chrome does not exhibit the same problem when playing the same 1080P videos. I have saved the relevant video files for comparison. Is this a bug in Edge? Upon analyzing the files using Mp4Box.js, no significant differences were found. https://thumbplayer-76307.gzc.vod.tencent-cloud.com/testvideo/mp4/h265/ffmpeg_output_1080P.mp4 https://thumbplayer-76307.gzc.vod.tencent-cloud.com/testvideo/mp4/h265/ffmpeg_output_720P.mp4 AMD Ryezen7 4700G DDR4 3200 16x2 RTX 3050 8GB Windows 11 22H2 22621.4460New Feature: Video Comments for PDFs now available on Edge browser
Microsoft Edge version 90.0.817.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) you're going to need to enable this new flag first: edge://flags/#edge-video-comments-pdf You can add .webm format videos that are hosted online(like OneDrive, GDrive etc) to PDFs as comments. Edge will support inline playback of these videos. (Note: Users should have permission to access the video(URL) to be able to view it.) available on: Mac, Windows I added a 1080p mp4 file. you can move the video comment to anywhere on the screen, also can watch the video comment in full screen. Very nice feature in my opinion.SS40: save files, rename, add tags, send to terminal, etc. faster for datahoarders and not
Suggestion (SS): 40 Classification: DATAHOARDING On Vivaldi i see different people posting other suggestions related to hoarding, so i decided to post here my other suggestions too (part 1 https://link.ws/edgess11), even if i know not all users will use it. I know that such suggestions can be reached (or at least in some parts) via scripts, extensions, terminal or macapps and are not the main focus of browsers. Said that, if you are interested read the post, otherwise skip it. I give you simply ideas, and such ideas are really hoarding focused. I know that this is maybe not legal for all websites too. those are just ideas. First we start with a feature that i never discovered before and after trying it i discovered in opera for mac we need to use option. i tried on edge and is not supported 2) i already talked about overlay button with both integration to mac or to onedrive as destination, or save to different folders in right menu, or drag drop download, or other https://link.ws/edgedatahoarder. another option would be to add a download button below each video and photo, no matter where. 3) about a smart select feature i already reported you before. Implemented on datahoarding activities means select 20 links and download all pdf at the same time (or other files). 4) a feature to detect images, document, movies, pdf in the site and download all that at once, or download only pdf for example. About images, would be better to download the full image, and not small pictures. 5) maybe add both option save to mac and open pdf in tab and maybe using a different destination, so download to /user/blabla/pdf and maybe sorted by source website. in such way we can directly read the paper too, and if needed we can copy that to other clouds directly once you implement the suggestion of importing in onedrive or you can directly integrate an option save to onedrive and to mac at the same time. 6) a way to copy a single link to a list and then copy the whole url in this list (this doesn't mean to use edge collections). once we are done we could use such lists to download files via other web apps, or mac app or terminal 7) a way to submit url to terminal directly, by adding specific terms (example https://www.pair.com/support/kb/paircloud-downloading-files-with-wget/). so we can manually add terms for wget, youtubedl, etc.. once we visit a page, we click right click or on the menu bar and select send to terminal and then we select wget or ytdl, or other. 😎integration of 7 for 6) 9) if i select 10 tabs an option to copy urls and maybe add support for 7) or 4) 10) a way to save such things to favorite without need to use bookmarks. in such way we know exactly where we get such files if someone ask us where we get that. the problem is that files show such metadata, but a lot of times is missing. 11) about 10) the feature of yesterday https://link.ws/edgevvss1 can help too. 12) a way to autorename all downloaded files, example if i use macuser A edge profile B i want on all my files a name like " xxx - macA edgeB" 13) renaming can be used for other goals too, like add the title of the post to the pdf, the url, or other information. 14) smart macos auto tags: we configure specific rules "like from website xx add tag xx" and add tag macA and edgeB too (related to 12.) 15) optionally add comments, but tags are much more useful. 16) like 5) an option to download files by source urls in specific folders. 17) torrent support like coccoc (i already reported that as comment in another post) 18) integrated vpn (same here) I copy the wish of another user here toosmart overlay for photos/video - smart reverse search - smart download
you probably know pinterest the same overlay button should be available inside edge. this means reverse search of a frame inside a video or a photo happens immediately, without need to right click or other. you maybe could implement this with: 1) add part of the picture in collections 2) download image (like suggested previously) 3) open image in full size 4) search only part of the image (like pinterest) 5) upload to imgur or other service 6) send to reddit or other social 7) save to onedrive (like suggested previously) 😎add to bookmark 9) search inside a specific site with personalized %s (like adobe stock, shutterstock, google reverse, etc.) 10) ... 11) you can even do it better (but maybe more complex too), by telling me this is xxxx and check social account xxxx or linkedin/.. account yyy, maybe even showing related video, photos (that are not similar to the original photo). you can even show 2+ button (better solution), 1 only for download (available for files/pdf etc too), 1 for reverse search (where we find 1-9 options too) the reverse search should include: 1) search same image with other dimension 2) search similar images PRIORITY 8-9 of 10 You can find this suggestion on Chromium too: CHECKLATER --------------- All my other suggestions are here: https://link.ws/edgesuggestions Suggestions I liked from other user here: https://link.ws/othersuggestions Chromium suggestions list 1: https://link.ws/chrome1 and 2: https://link.ws/chrome2 From end 2020-10 all suggestions are written on both Edge and Chrome at the same time, suggestions before 2020-10 are available only on Chrome.
Feature Resquest - More video formats to be playable
Since now there is a flag for media foundation video playback, so I suppose the supported video formats must be increased from just mp4 to several more like mkv, etc. which at present it doesn't support. It would be good if more formats are supported as many people like me use browser for everything from media playback to document editing. So it would be nice if the media formats list is extended. You don't have to worry for the codec as the Windows Decryption module would decrypt it.
