Vivaldi Community for ARM(Raspberry Pi) is for like-minded people in a friendly environment where they can come together to learn and share their love for such devices. Here you can talk about your pet projects, experiences and digital making with Raspberry Pi as well as reporting issues you might encounter with it.

@mib2berlin said in H.264 & AAC update failure [bug]:
do you have update-ffmpeg and update-widewine in your /opt/vivaldi* directory?
I didn't actually have a /opt/vivaldi direrectory. I made one just in case it fixes the problem, but as expected it doesn't because it's empty.
For widewine you can open vivaldi://components and try to update from there. I guess ffmpeg is updated with it, too.
I went to vivaldi://components and clicked "Check for update" under the only thing with Widevine in its name ("Widevine Content Decryption Module - Version: 0.0.0.0", Status - Up-to-date). All that did was change "Up-to-date" to say "Component not updated".
I believe the situation is unchanged with the latest 5.3.2679.58 (Stable channel) (64-bit) version. When I open the calendar tab and try to add/look up an event, it takes several seconds to do anything, typing is slowed down to the point I can write a whole event description before it appears on the screen, and when I click "Done" the even does not show up in the calendar right after the creation - ~10 seconds need to pass before it shows up.
Good afternoon. After a lot of persistence, I've managed to get Netflix working at least. Today, I'm using Vivaldi 5.3.2679.58.
The solution is as follows:
In the local configuration path /home/{USER}/.config/vivaldi I replaced the WidevineCdm folder with a symbolic link to /opt/WidevineCdm/.
Inside, there is a text file called latest-component-updated-widevine-cdm and the folder containing the module. In my case, 4.10.2449.0.
The text file has the following path inside it:
{"Path":"/home/{USER}/.config/vivaldi/WidevineCdm/4.10.2449.0"}
I noticed that if you delete this file, Vivaldi generates it again automatically, reading the latest version of Widevine you have in this directory.
The directory 4.10.2449.0 contains the following structure:
├── LICENSE.
├── manifest.json
├─── _metadata
│ └└── verified_contents.json
└└── _platform_specific
└└── linux_arm
└── libwidevinecdm.so
I think neither _metadata nor obviously LICENSE is needed.
The content of manifest.json is as follows:
{"version":"4.10.2449.0","x-cdm-codecs":"vp8,vp9.0,avc1,av01","x-cdm-host-versions":"10","x-cdm-interface-versions":"10","x-cdm-module-versions":"4"}
I have noticed that if the permissions are not the right ones, nor in my case, the owner of all the files is the user himself, Vivaldi CRASH.
After trying several versions of User Agent, I have only managed to get Netflix to work. Prime Video tells me to update Google Chrome. I think the problem lies in the User Agent string. This is the most up to date one I have found:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS armv7l 13597.84.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/88.0.4324.187 Safari/537.36
Can anyone tell me a more up to date one (Chrome 100 onwards) to test if that's where the problem is? Maybe I'll try a more updated Widevine as well.
@under100 I already can see at https://repo.vivaldi.com/stable/deb/pool/main/ there are ARM versions in repo.
And on Vivaldi download page has a green dropdown button where you can select your OS.
And please read https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/install-update/raspberry-pi/
@jsimon0 said in Widevine and Flash for Vivaldi on ARM (Spotify and Tidal access):
libwidevinecdm.so
Bonjour, ls / opt / WidevineCdm / _platform_specific / linux_arm / libwidevinecdm.so / opt /vivaldi/lib
@lizziea
Ok, so then beside waiting for the Manjaro-ARM-Team to release the new versions the other variants remain (I install my Vivaldi versions with the install-vivaldi script which works for the stable AND snapshot releases). But yes, it's manual work and somehow silly if you have Pamac with Vivaldi stable inside 🙂
IMHO the ARM testing branch is quite stable. Same as for Vivaldi snapshots. I use everything for my daily work. But the systemd problem is the only real showstopper I encountered for some time in these two systems.
Hello,
Cant install vivaldi-stable_4.1.2369.11-1_arm64.deb on Ubuntu 21.10 arm64 (RPI4) using gdebi. I can install it on 20.10, but it is decrepit.
