  Demo app

  • If custom app, can you reproduce the issue using our demo app?

  Try to play video on the demo site in the browser Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.

  • What content did you load?

    • If standard demo asset, which one?
      Unified Streaming > Tears of Steel (PlayReady)

    • If custom asset, what manifest and license server URIs?

  • How did you interact with the content, if at all?
    Just started and checked drop down menu on which video tracks are available.

  The non-DRM version of Tears of Steel has five bitrates. I expect the DRM version to also have that.

  Only the two lowest video bitrates are available in Edge. In IE11 all bitrates are available. Tried on Edge version 38.14393.0.0.

There was a bug on Edge that we had a workaround for. This workaround is now causing problems now that the original bug is fixed. However, Edge's fix of the original problem introduces a different problem that we need to workaround. We have filed a bug against Edge for this new case.

Basically when we query EME for what the browser supports, Edge doesn't report everything that it supports so we think that some of the tracks are not supported when they in fact are. So we need to update our workaround for this.

Marked as "external bug" to reflect that Edge is at fault, but added to the v2.1 milestone for Shaka Player to work around Edge's bug.

The fix for this has just been released in v2.0.3.
