Better Widevine (EME) support for Linux – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1360.4
-
@helsten2 Now it works, but it's not always visible though. With my theme, where both the background and accent colours are black, I can't see it.
-
Not important for me, but the auto-update did not work.
-
@burbuja: Hasn't worked for me in months. I have to download the full version and install it in a new folder - every time.
-
@helsten2 If I remember correctly, it worked for me in the past snapshots.
-
@buak That's true, but it's debatable if it should be visible in this case. If you had foreground and background color black, you wouldn't be able to read most text in the UI. Accent should have contrast to background too.
-
Wow! That's a big one! Nice work! I see a lot of bugs have been resolved.

Consider removing that white space around favicons, it's ugly on dark themes.

Hi, Netflix is not working after update from Vivaldi 2.2.1350.4.
Fehlercode: M7701-1003
It exist a symlink to /root/.local/lib/vivaldi-snapshot/libwidevinecdm.so
This lib exist and is from today.
It may a Opensuse problem, as usual.Cheers, mib

Uh-oh. So now the only way to store flash settings is chromium policy, I fear.
VB-44574 - and others - sound interesting

@ruario After installing (on Mageia 6) vivaldi-snapshot-2.2.1360.4-1.x86_64.rpm I haven't found a way to pass the H.264/MP4 test at the URL https://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html. The previous snapshot ( vivaldi-snapshot-2.2.1350.4-1.x86_64.rpm) passed the same H.264/MP4 test.
I tried using the vivaldi-libffmpeg-install.sh script with the u switch (install for current user) and noticed a version that started with 70 was installed (failed H.264/MP4 test) but this current snapshot has chromium 71.0.3578.27. The page for the script is no longer maintained, so I looked around in http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-team/beta/ubuntu/pool/main/c/chromium-browser/ and I see some likely files but I'm not sure which to download.
I don't use my desktop computer for Netflix or Amazon video anyway, so I'll just go back to snapshot 1350 and will try the next snapshot after 1360.
Edit: I got the same error with snapshot 1350 and the script didn't seem to help, so I installed snapshot 1360 again and tried a YouTube video. That worked, so just for fun I tried the test at https://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html again and now snapshot 1360 passes. I'm not sure what happened, but I did logout from the graphical desktop environment (stopped the X server) and logged back into the graphical desktop environment (started the X server).

Vivaldi crashes when i try to clear private data in private window.
Can someone confirm this? I'm using the 2.2.1360.4 32-Bit build on Win10 -
@mib2berlin: Indeed a symlink to that directory cannot work because it is within root's home directory, which normal users cannot read.
It is super weird that it could have been setup like that. It would imply that rpm was run as a user (
$USER
) not called "root" who had a home directory ($HOME
) directory defined as root's home directory (/root/
).Ok, I do not understand it but I do know how we could fix it and we will. In the mean time, what happens if you run
sudo /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/update-widevine
Does this resolve it?
-
@mrprobs: Start vivaldi from a terminal. and then shut it down. In the terminal output, it will tell you the command to resolve the issue.
-
Just a small issue. Widevine not working on Linux Mageia/OpenMandriva. At least for me I see libwidevinecdm.so symbolic link in /opt/vivaldi-snapshot and it link to /var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/libwidevinecdm.so
but any DRM media wont work. Also ffmpeg.so is installed and work (from Ruari script). -

Run a sha256sum on this file and give me the ouput

@ruario
Hi, videwine updated to Widevine (1.4.9.1089) installed successfully
but Netflix send same error message.
libwidevinecdm.so is now a lib instead a symlink.
I update Vivaldi with package management zypper.
vivaldi://components does not show Widevine but never does anyway.
Should I may update with rpm -U vivaldi....Thank you for looking in to, mib

@mib2berlin: Can I have the output of
ls -l /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/libwidevinecdm.so
and
sha256sum /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/libwidevinecdm.so
