Disney and ABC Video not working again
-
@lamarca They were working up until the 2.4 update. I had to use the User Agent Switcher extension for those sites, but they did play then.
-
@fred8615 In the Dev's words : "It will not work in Chrome thus it will not work in Vivaldi."
We apologize for your issue. -

We apologize for your issue.Two problems with that:
1 - It was working in 2.3, though it did require using the User Agent Switcher extension.
2 - The Chromium Edge browser will play them.
So it's NOT a Chrome/Chromium issue.
FTR, I also tried the 2.5 Snapshot. It didn't work either.

Hello, It won't work on Vivaldi, as the Dev stated and I posted here. It's Chrome issue which affects Vivaldi.
Again, sorry for any inconvenience. -

Again, sorry for any inconvenience.How? If it worked in 2.3, and in the Chromium Edge, what exactly is different now?

@fred8615 We don't know what Google changed in their code. It's not Vivaldi issue.
-
@fred8615 I can't be totally sure but... I think chrome don't support yet HLS or the video codec used while chromium edge may - as it's a patched chromium code and kept few features from the parent edgehtml.
There is a little chance that Disney changed the player to this format, which is currently not supported in chrome/vivaldi.
There ia also a little chance that HLS will be ported from edge to chromium code, but again, I can't be sure as the video is geolocked for my country (get the error 403-1: 1002).
If you try now with the old build (2.3) as standalone and it works, then it's a bug on recent chromiums (excluded edge fork) or vivaldi. Try to use the old vivaldi user agent in this case. -
@Hadden89 It won't work in Chrome hence it will not work in Vivaldi period

Installed Chrome a little while ago; tried both sites...
The videos played perfectly!!
So tell me again that this is a Chrome/Chromium problem. ️

@fred8615 I am here to support users of Vivaldi Browser.
If Chrome fixed its issue, sooner our Dev's will apply it to Vivaldi.
The report VB-52323 was already analyzed by the Team.
It's possible to check the bug report status on this thread:https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/27450/what-is-the-status-of-vb-already-reported-bug-issue?page=1

I semi resolved it! I updated my Nvidia drivers yesterday, and instead of just updating, I had it do a clean install. Unbeknownst to me, this reset my system to auto select from my integrated video card and the Nvidia card. When the minor update came this morning, I thought to try one of the sites again, even though the VB wasn't listed. Lo and behold, it worked! I thought to check the Nvidia control panel, saw that it was on auto select, and tried using just the Nvidia card. It wouldn't work then. Putting it back on auto brought the videos back.
So now it appears to be an Nvidia issue. Which is why I say it's semi resolved.
