Snapshot 1.3.537.5 - Improved proprietary media support on Linux
-
In Today's snapshot we address some of the problems you raised in the last snapshot, including fixing the private window crash on Mac, selection of the custom background image and the broken proprietary media on Linux. We also made the Linux proprietary media system more robust on Ubuntu and added additional support for OpenSUSE and Slackware users.

Thank you guys!
I have a bug list and a features list that I would like them to be added when possible.Bug list:
1 - Added search engines have blank favicon (VB-16186).
Example: http://i.imgur.com/er7vOxI.gif2 - Facebook videos buffering is very slow (VB-17751).
Comparison between Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox: http://i.imgur.com/WLNcdgn.gif3 - The progress bar is not properly working (VB-17752).
It is not working after opening a link on Speed Dial (it has already fixed) and when returning to a tab that is loading a page.
Example: http://i.imgur.com/pOdiAML.gif4 - The tab's thumbnails only capture the first screen. They should be updated at each changing tab or every time you hover over the tab.
5 - Many extensions to download specific types of files are not working, as Video DownloadHelper, Batch Fatkun, Image Downloader, FBDown Video Downloader etc. They can not find or save the files.
Desired features list:
6 - Add an option to make Panel overlap a page instead of shifting it.
7 - Add any possibility of selecting the image preview page and a thumbnail based in text to Speed Dial.
8 - Add download speed when downloading files. And likewise also some form of signaling the download is complete.
9 - Add a feature to arrange the extensions icons, as it is in Chrome, dragging the icon to either side.Sorry about my English and if it was not clear.

Not really a bug per-se but one small thing I've been noticing is that if you have "Click Active Tab to Switch to Previous tab" active and the option "Close Tab on Double Click" double clicking a tab causes a weird flickering as if Vivaldi is quickly switching tabs before closing.
-
Two small request regarding gestures:
1 - Would it be possible to allow an arbitrary number of gestures for a certain command? Currently once a gesture is defined for a command it becomes unavailable from the "Pick a Command" list for further assignement2 - Since we already have scroll gestures add "Scroll left", "Scroll left-most" and "Scroll-Right" and "Scroll-Right-most"
Anyway, thanks for this wonderful browser, getting better and better!

Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and h264 still not working.
Vivaldi looking for ffmpeg in chromium/libs and in my case path to chromium-ffmpeg is in chromium/.
When I change in ./vivaldi line from FFMPEG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs" to FFMPEG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":/usr/lib/chromium-browser/". Now h264 start working fine.
I use chromium 53 dev from ppa with hardware acceleration and with this is bundle chromium-codecs-ffmpeg53, but look like libs is stored in other dir.
Can you fix this by adding finding this library also in other dirs? -
Sorry for the trouble and thanks for letting us know about it, we'll look into it. Thank you for being patient with us.

Snapshot already? I was expecting to for it to be a while before the next one.
Anyway, here are some UI Bugs I posted in the last blog:
- Corner rounding isn't as rounded as it was in the first snapshot it appeared in. This mostly applies to corner rounding on tabs, which look less rounded in general.
- Speed Dial thumbnails are now far less rounded than they were before. That's irritating, as I loved the way they were before. Rounding them to 14px doesn't do anything.
- Close tab button is now more squared off with corner rounding.
- The address bar, in fact everything, also looks less rounded than in previous snapshots with corner rounding. Now, the security logo in the address bar looks more rounded than the address bar itself, which looks odd.
- Websites that have a bright-colored theme, make non-current tab's text black, when it used to be that only the current tab text is black, and the other tab text is white. This is inconsistent now, and should go back to how it was before. (ex. go to vox.com or something, look at how the text color on non-current tabs looks compared to, say, Vivaldi.net)
- Vivaldi.net SD thumbnail disappeared with this update. I think you guys probably changed it, but it didn't go through.
- Security logo/title on address bar is now covered by the loading bar when a page starts loading. Before, the loading bar just appeared behind it, as it should be.

Your gifs are amazing man. How do you capture screen and turn into those gifs?
-
Are you able to play DRM content with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg53 ?

still failing to implement most crucial feature - drag to create a new window? pretty pathetic guys..
-
If you are not happy, you can build your own browser from scratch, and include this function, and then distribute it for free.
Or you can be patient, understand that it's a small team, that the work is always in progress, that there are lots of technologicals complexities to build such softwares, and stop insulting people.
Your choice. -
Qual é aquele vídeo sobre a cor que o espaço sideral costumava ter? Fiquei curioso para assistir.

and what about small teams??? I know a music player built from scratch with an awesome interface, the necessary features and that in my eyes is even better than Groove Music (dev by MS/windows 10). well, this music player was developed by only 1 guy, being engineer as a day job. this guy in 6 months and working 2 hours a day made an awesome music player, and he was updating it each 10-15 days with more and more features, requested by general population. I know a browser is a lot more complicated, but my point is that the size of the team means nothing. when your product is good, and the team is well coordinated and organized, things go a lot faster. I am not saying the devs of Vivaldi are lazy or something like that, I am saying that drag to create a new window is usually one of the first things to be created on a browser.

I detected some sort of bug regarding to Twitch.tv. today I was going to watch the pros playing one of the games I play and noticed that after this update I could not see the stream through twitch anymore. here is the link: http://watch.euw.lolesports.com/en_GB/eulcs1/en
although, youtube is working fine on that link, only twitch fails, leaving a black screen on the place where should be playing the video. -
… is it really too complicated to right click on the tab and select Move Tab to -> New window while you wait for drag&drop? (yes, I know it may take almost half a second to do it)
-
I've been patiently waiting for almost a year now but the thing is, Vivaldi is just about the only browser out there that does not have the ability to drag a tab out of the window and create a new window.
The dis/advantages being**:** 1click Vs. 2clicks, a drop-down menu, & a submenu**;** by dragging a tab, the user can actually place the tab/new window on another screen (instead of having to manually position the window on a secondary display after it's created); and several other browsers_(yes even Opera)_ do not actually reload the entire page when a tab is dragged out of the window (when you right-click>new window, Vivaldi essentially closes the tab, opens a new window and reloads that page in the first tab.
And if your argument is speed, all of these disadvantages significantly slow productivity. Even after "Move Tab to -> New window", the delay waiting for the window to spawn and the page to Reload alone can take several long and unnecessary seconds, especially on slower machines and network connections.

Two things.
First, indeed, it's really complicated to build a browser. Sure, a one-guy team could build something, look at Otter. But here, they are building something that will be feature packed, and they are building for the future. It takes more time.
I'm also saying that they are a small team compared to other browsers'.As for "adding the drag to create a new window is usually one of the first things to be created on a browser", that's only your point of view. For me, what is and should be implemented as soon as possible when you build a browser, is putting the tabbar at the bottom. And after years and years, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari… still can't do it.
Vivaldi is built to have lots of feature. But for each feature, you have to take time. That's really easy for other browsers as they remove features instead of adding some.
In conclusion, drag and drop of tabs will come (and sooner than later).
Bitching about it isn't helping. -
Only 492 out of 555 score in HTML5 test (html5test.com)? Did you downgrade Vivaldi to Firefox? :lol:
Have a nice day. CheersVivaldi 64 bit
Win 10 Pro 64 bit -
Yeah, but it's the only browser that allow to have the tabbar at the bottom, that have mouse gesture out of the box, that have tab stack, and the only one that is currently adding features instead of removing them.
I can understand that it seems to take a long time to add a feature you cares about, but there are actually thousands of features that each user cares about.
So if you can't wait, too bad, but everything comes to those who are patient…
