Problems with (flash) video like on Twitter
-
Hi, I have OpenSuse 42.3 and googled around a little looking for solutions before posting here with my video no play issue. it seems I have all what's required.
Here are my specs:Vivaldi 1.13.1008.40 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Revision dd2895aa58c2274ad3c791ca3ce191734e515549-
OS Linux
JavaScript V8 6.2.414.43
Flash 28.0.0.126 /home/********/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash/28.0.0.126/libpepflashplayer.so
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.97 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/1.94.1008.40
Command Line /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable --always-authorize-plugins --enable-blink-features=ResizeObserver --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end
Executable Path /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi

Sorry for my poor english writing at times -
@cabron Try clicking on the badge in the URL to open Site Settings, and Enable "Always allow on this site."

@pesala I do as you suggested but as you see.... >>>
It does play in Chrome & Firefox so I assume it's Vivaldi settings/configuration related -
@gwen-dragon I did not expect that this is of importance, https://twitter.com/joanbangbang88/status/950804442479235072
It is ANY video at ANY channel/stream I visit.And again as cross-reference ANY that do not work in Vivaldi DO work in Chrome or Firefox.
Also ABC video http://abcnews.go.com/US/dead-flooding-mudslides-force-thousands-flee-california/story?id=52229415 gives me "Error: Source not supported"
Also here same works just fine on Chrome & Firefox -
@cabron No problem with either of those videos.
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit • Snapshot 1.14.1064.3 (64-bit)

@cabron
Hi, I am on Opensuse 42.3/64 too and can play both videos.
Do you have ffmpeg.so in /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/lib
I have FFmpeg 3.3.4 from http://packman.links2linux.de
The regular FFmpeg from Suse does not support H.264 codec.
Flash is disabled.
Check http://html6test.com/Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin Hi, thanks for reply
in /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/lib I have a file named "libffmpeg.so" - same in /optvivaldi/lib by the way.
html6test show NO support in H.264 and H.265
I show 3.3.4-9.4 when lloking up ffmpeg in Yast Software management - I think it's packman. Does that not come with VLC when getting that from packman?
There is also a chromium-ffmpeg-extra - Extra ffmpeg codecs for browsers based on Chromium - that is Version: 61.0.3163.100-1.3 -
@gwen-dragon I follow the link and it's basically about installing chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
But I have that already installed as stated in previous post.
Are there different versions?
It seem to do the job for Chrome, Chrimium, Firefox and Opera..... -
@cabron I did reinstall the chromium-ffmpeg-extra with Yast but still no change. Any other hints?
-
@gwen-dragon Hi, no, videos not play, just loading......
-
~/.local/lib/vivaldi/. I do not have this location
How about /opt/vivaldi/lib/ ?? That's where a file named libffmpeg.so is.
Should I rename that to .txt for example and copy/past extracted version?
I do also have snapshot ie /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/lib/ <<< this like the daily build if I use the the right word. Should that not have a current version??Sorry for late reply - the forum would not let me post. Got some 240 seconds waiting message but even after 10 minutes not allowed to reply.....
-
@gwen-dragon Bingo!! OK, this did do it for me, videos on Twitter and other link I posted do now function.
Thank you so much -
I've trouble with videos too.
I've run the latest ruario's script to install libffmpeg.so
I've also run the latest script to install libwidevine.so
But i'm not able to read h264 video on the test page (other videos works fine)
And the Spotify web player don't work.I'm running vivaldi-snapshot on Debian testing, all updated.
Bonus question : Is there a way to see which files (*.so) vivaldi loads. Before on the chrome://plugins page this information was visible, but this page doesn't exist anymore.
Thanks.

Solved for me with the last blog post (https://vivaldi.com/blog/snapshots/understanding-video-issues-with-vivaldi-for-linux-snapshots/) Thanks @ruario
