Videos not playing in Vivaldi
-
Some videos play fine in Vivaldi, but most don't. They look like this:
There is sound but no picture. The problem is only with Vivaldi.Here is link to one such video.
It's same when video is embeded or not.
On this particular website when I scrolled down a bit I could see background webpage through the playing video.
Also some videos on Twitter show only first frame (again there is sound, but picture doesn't change).

It's same when video is embeded or not.That video plays fine for me, it is vp9 media so my first thought is that you don't have the required codecs (e.g. You may have a Windows N variant).
If so try https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48231
Otherwise, please provide more information on your setup - which Windows you have, which version of Vivaldi (see help/about); have you installed any extensions or activated any flags/experiments?
E.g. The strict-site-isolation flag is known to cause problems with embedded videos.

The video plays fine here too.

That is really weird if that happens to you, but the video is working fine for me.

The aforementioned video is now working for me too. And I haven't changed anything in settings yet.
I use Windows 10.
Only flag set is to save webpages to mhtml.
I've got acceleration already as enabled.Here is another video with same problem for me.
The problem appeared in Vivaldi 14 and I was hoping it will be fixed in 15. -
@hondac That video also plays fine for me!
I use Windows 10.
Only flag set is to save webpages to mhtml.
The problem appeared in Vivaldi 14 and I was hoping it will be fixed in 15.So we guess Home or Pro (and not Windows N)!?
Also guess 1.15 Stable.Do we also have to guess

I came to these forums because I am also having trouble playing certain videos. I have been using this browser for at least 6 months, maybe a year, and I have never been able to play videos imbedded in reddit without it crashing my broswer, such as this one. It will usually play fine if I leave it alone, but if I start to scroll around or pause/play, etc. the browser will slowly crash. Sound usually continues working but the whole browser locks up.

We have been working on a fix for Reddit videos and we believe we will have a fix shortly.
