Chrome can't play liveTV, but Edge can

[pbathuk 20]

Hey, so i am on the latest version of Emby (server) - which is just out of beta, and I was waiting until then to raise a weird isssue I have found.

When I play live TV through the web browser depending on the browser I get a very different experience.

If I use edge (which I am not a fan of, but happy to use if it works  ) live TV works as expected and no issues (see logs)

However if I use Chrome (my prefered browser) it just locks up after a few seconds and won't play again. 

I've checked and hvec is not enabled (as know that caused issues with playing on the Tesla, so thought I would validate).

Is this a known issue, or perhaps there is a chrome setting needing to be changed to enable it to work:

 

Thanks in advance

 

FYI these were done at different times.. but I have tried opening the SAME channel about 2 seconds apart on both and chrome always locks up
