Windows 10: Microsoft adds the option to "control if audio and video play automatically on sites" in...

Media autoplay.

A while ago Microsoft had added a flag that had to do with this but it was removed later.



Other changes in Edge Canary (Version 78.0.272.0) have to do with the Settings page, the color in the dark mode is now lighter and the Sync options have changed a bit:

Changes in the Tracking prevention section.



All these changes are part of the Controlled Feature Roll-outs in Microsoft Edge.

Anyway to force control panel on video windows playing commercial adds


Apologies - using Vivaldi (Chrome based) but not Chrome. I get the same issue but video controls can be restored by allowing pop ups in per site settings:




So I click on the button to the left of the address bar to get per site settings and change pop up option to allow (only for that site)

In Chrome:



Note Change settings for a specific site

You can allow or block permissions for a specific site. The site will use its settings instead of the default settings.

1. On your computer, open Chrome .
2. Go to a website.
3. To the left of the web address, click the icon you see: Lock
   
   , Info
   
   , or Dangerous
   
   .
4. Click Site settings.
5. Change a permission setting. Your changes will automatically save.

PS4 external play options

MKV is a container format which can hold unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file, but PS4 can play MKV files with the following specification:

• H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2
• MP3, AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital)

Once the MKV you add to PS4 does not meet the above requirements, the problem occurs.

To solve the issue, there are many methods and here list two of them:

1. Handbrake is the go to free converter for video files on Mac.

HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder

Install it and then point it at one of your MKV files and convert to one of the preset MP4 defaults in the Handbrake sidebar. Under "Regular" you should be fine with "Normal" or "High Profile" settings.

2. A step by step guide on Does PS4 Play MKV.

The article introduces a detailed guide to help you solve PS4 won't play MKV issue.
