I recently installed the release version of Microsoft Edge Chromium on 2 systems running Windows 10 Pro with all latest updates installed. Both systems are connected via HDMI to TV sets in my home are used for video streaming. They have worked great for the last 18 months streaming from a variety of sites without issue. I have primarily used Firefox as my browser of choice but wanted to try the new Edge.
Last week i received a free one year subscription to Apple TV+ (because I bought a new iPad).
I want to be able to access my Apple TV+ account from the 2 Windows PC's.
Using the new Edge Browser I went to the tv.apple.com website and logged in with my Apple credentials. Everything works fine on one of the PC's but on the other when I try to play a program all I get is a black screen with the play controls along the bottom. Pressing the play button does nothing.
Both PC's are the same make and model (Azulle Byte 3) with same specs for memory and disk. I have compared graphics system settings and Edge browser settings on both of them and cannot find any differences. Graphics driver versions were the same on both but I did find that Intel had recently released a new driver so I installed that on the PC that doesn't work but it made no difference.
All other streaming sites work fine on both PC's using Edge and Apple TV+ works using Firefox on both systems. It just won't work on one of them using Edge.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Edge Chromium on the faulty system but that didn't make a difference either.
The only thing that I did different on the "faulty" system was that initially I installed Apple TV+ via Edge as a PWA App. It behaved exactly as I described above resulting in a black screen with just the inoperative controls. I then tried to access the site through the browser and saw the same behavior so using Uninstall from the settings pages I uninstalled the PWA App but accessing through the browser still didn't work. I subsequently uninstalled the browser and reinstalled it, as I mentioned above, but still no joy.
Since both systems are the same I even tried physically swapping them in case there was some other environmental issue or the different TV's made a difference, but the issue stuck with the one PC.
I'm at a loss as to what to try next, so I wondered if anyone in this community had any ideas for troubleshooting the problem further.
Thanks in advance
