Video Player not shown in MS Edge browser

Permalink
I'm using the video player block in our concrete5 v5.6.3.1 site. The player works fine in Chrome Version 44.0.2403.155 m and IE11, but is not shown in MS Edge browser in Windows 10. Is it an html5 issue?
I can edit the block in MS Edge, but in Preview or after publishing the block is not displayed on the page (just a blank area).
Any ideas? I can't find any reference to Edge issues of this sort in a google search, at least as f earlier today.
Thanks!

I think this is an incompatibility issue with html5. I was able to instead use the html5 <video> tag in an HTML block (adding the code into a Content block in HTML view would not work). The <video> tag works back to Chrome4 and IE9, as well as Edge, so should work OK for most users. I grabbed the code below from the w3schools.org site; the Controls attribute provides the video controls (play, pause, etc.) so was useful for my case.
<video controls>
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>
Hope this helps someone else, before they freak out (like I did) ;-)
