4K Youtube videos not buffering
-
All 4K Youtube videos in Vivaldi are not buffering.
For example https://youtu.be/2RIDhA9c8qwIt starts for few seconds but then buffering and video stops.
I remember it worked few months ago in earlier snapshots.
Of course in Firefox it works
V 1.15.1111.3, Win7, YT on HTML5
-
ok thanks for confirm, I reported it as VB-38176
-
cnr w10 1.15.1111.3

I can confirm this for the 4K video, no buffering, stopping for some parts of a second.
Do you use Win7? Maybe it's only Win7 problem.
-
It worked on Win7 earlier I think.
-
@aronand what's the status of this bug for Win 7?
1.15.1132.3 still not working. -
But is it Not Reprodicible on Win 10 or Win 7?

VB-38176
Was not reproducible on Windows 10.
I reopened the bug so they can check once more with Win 7.
May be it is a regresseion.It shouldn't be closed so lightheartedly just because it can't be reproduced on win10, or is win7 support being dropped altogether by Vivaldi?
-
@ian-coog Afaik we tested on both w10 and w7, but couldn't reproduce, and if we can't there is little we can do but move on until we get more reports on it. (this is the only report we have on 4k youtube buffering)
-
@aronand ok then, I was worried because I have no intention of switching to win10 soon.

@gwen-dragon something is wrong with this code, VivaldiMediaLog and media.log are not created.
-
Does this work smoothly for you in 4K under Win 7?

Not for me on V 1.15.1147.21 -
it's the same as previous and not working.
I create shortcut with:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe" --enable-logging=stderr --vmodule=/platform_media=7,/media/=3 --user-data-dir="%TEMP%\VivaldiMediaProfile" 2> "%TEMP%VivaldiMediaLog\media.log"after starting the browser two tabs opens:
- 2/>/
- /AppData/Local/TempVivaldiMediaLog/media.log
but only VivaldiMediaProfile folder is created.
-
I don't get email notifications for forum posts for few weeks, is there some problem with forum?
Sorry, I don't understand how to do it now, can you write step by step what to do?
-
Starting medialog.bat does nothing, it opens and closes immediately, no folders or files created in temp before or after starting Vivaldi.
-
I can see the video smoothly in 1.15.1147.29 on both Windows 7 and 10 (x64 builds).
-
@n8chavez did you open the video in automatic mode or 4k?
-
Both. They both played fine here.
