No Flash but pepperflash is installed
-
@Gwen-Dragon just went to the Flash Player test page you noted.
It goes same way as any other page with Flash: I click to run the plugin and Flash doesn't play.
My Linux distro is Manjaro KDE. -
@Gwen-Dragon I'm highly sure I enabled Flash for the page you noticed, checked it several times before posting in the topic. I also worked several years as PC repairer and system engineer :).
Thank you pointing about extra codecs, I forgot about them. Will install them.@Gwen-Dragon said in No Flash but pepperflash is installed:
And as you stated on https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/295385 Flash works for you.
Hm I tried to say that Flash doesn't work for me heh. Well, English is my 2nd language.

And you need to install extra codecs to watch video on YT, see https://help.vivaldi.com/article/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/
I tried to proceed the instructions described on the page you noted. I stuck just on terminal. I type vivaldi and press Enter but I receive a message "Command is not found". It's quite strange because if I type e.g. firefox in terminal and press Enter then Firefox browser opens.
I also opened a topic about non-starting Vivaldi browser from console on Manjaro's forum: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/cannot-run-application-from-terminal/88616?u=ks-10 . Maybe guys there know exactly what's the problem. -

It was much easier, instead of vivaldi it works for vivaldi-stable command. With the instructions on https://help.vivaldi.com/article/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/ I successfully installed the codecs but videos on the page https://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html still don't play.
I'll proceed to Troubleshooting section of noted Vivaldi Help's page heh.
Edited: made a bug report regarding no media playing with proprietary codecs installed - VB-53717. -
@ks10 I just found out the test page below is no longer working:

lamarca, Gwen-Dragon - thanks!! Got HTML5 content with proprietary codecs it working, now everything except Flash plays. I'm highly sure that I just forgot to exit Vivaldi by right-clicking its icon in system tray and choosing this option, and it got me to non-working proprietary codecs. Flash still is 999.999.999 and doesn't work, but Flash content is quite rare on Internet, so it doesn't bore me. I guess I'm quite lazy to try more to fix this heh. Probably will try to solve this later. Thanks to all participants of this topic .

@ks10 You are welcome. Issue solved. I'll tag the topic as resolved.
Cheers

Manjaro is Arch based?
Yes.

@Gwen-Dragon Thank you for information, glad to know this fix will be released soon :).

@ks10 As usual, the fix will be applied on the Snapshots.
