Just recently, my Edge browser can't use the webplugin properly to render video images. This happens both in the NVR and the 5442 cams. It just shows a white box where the live images need to show up. If I uninstall the webplugin, then the images render just fine but I can't take advantage of the extra functionality without the plugin. Anyone else have this issue?

I tried Pale Moon and hated it. Using IE, the UI is unusable...I can post screenshots if you want.

Edge worked fantastically for so long. I'm wondering if it's a pervasive issue or just applying to me. Any ideas?
 
Someone else had a similar issue today. Likely FW update

he switch to Edge in IE mode and it works.

Thats what I use on 90% of my Dahua stuff now

I switched to Brave. I learned from another poster that you just have to close the plugin message even though it's installed. Still not perfect because certain functions don't work 100%
