[Bug] Edge doesn't support AV1 codec and fail to play DASH

[Zero3K]

Was due to Edge not supporting AV1 by default.

---

A URL of a video with this issue is at https://inv.zzls.xyz/watch?v=B-nluiQ1Hew. It still happens when having it not show annotations by default and with autoplay disabled. The error shown is "Playback cannot continue. No available working or supported playlists". At https://yewtu.be/watch?v=B-nluiQ1Hew, I get "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported".

Microsoft Edge
Version 112.0.1722.48 (Official build) (64-bit)

I can't reproduce this issue on inv.zzls.xyz nor vid.puffyan.us. But on yewtu.be it's a different backend than invidious, I'll create an issue here: yewtudotbe/invidious-custom#60

Opening the red colored videoplayback URL in a new tab gets the video to play.

Please try with another browser like chrome or Firefox.

Edge doesn't have AV1 support built in while Chrome does.

I think we should probably create a separate github issue for fixing this problem.

Someone else on matrix had the same issue too.
