Are you having trouble playing 1080p videos on Netflix or other streaming services using Chromium Edge or other browsers? You're not alone. This is a common problem that I see many users face, and there are a variety of potential causes and solutions.
Here, I'll go through some of the common issues and workarounds that you can try to get your 1080p videos playing smoothly.
Chromium Edge may not support 1080p videos on Netflix for some users. Some potential solutions include enabling PlayReady DRM for Windows 10 on edge://flags, selecting your user agent as "Microsoft Edge Chromium Windows," and clearing all cookies and caches. However, even after downloading the HEVC video extension, the issue may persist.
If Widevine DRM is disabled, Netflix may send an error code M7701-1003, which says to enable Widevine.
If you're experiencing issues with video playback on Chromium Edge or other browsers, you may want to contact Microsoft Edge support for help. They may be able to identify the issue and send a recommendation to help you resolve it.
If you're experiencing issues with video playback on Chromium Edge or other browsers, there may be some workarounds that you can try. For example, you may be able to enable either PlayReady DRM or Widevine DRM in edge://flags. With override software rendering list enabled, you may even be able to get hardware-accelerated video decoding. To test if DRM video streams work, you can use the bitmovin.com/demos/drm website.
If you're still having trouble, you may want to check your GPU and upgrade your system if necessary. Alternatively, you can try adding --disable-direct-composition=0 to the shortcut to enable direct composition.
If you're having trouble playing 1080p videos on Chromium Edge or other browsers, there are several potential causes and solutions.
