Zimit1 video broken in legacy UWP app #564

Closed Jaifroid closed 7 months ago

Although I fixed the legacy playback method in Chromium browsers in #560, it seems the issue persists for the Edge HTML legacy webview, whereas video playback definitely used to work in this context. To be clear, this affects Zimit Classic, and is a separate issue from #551 (which affects Zimit2), though the remedy might be somewhat similar.

It is bizarre that the previous fix works in Chromium browsers set to use the legacy playback method, but not in the UWP app. Neither browser uses Wombat in this configuration.

Sigh.
