Fix for Windows media issues – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1929.3
-
I'm not receiving any kind of update notification since the last 3 snapshot and have to update manually. Is it only me, or does anyone else have the same problem?
Running: macOS 10.15.5 and the latest Vivaldi Snapshot -
Another thing: The last two snapshots aren't able to access my Mic on online meetings via Big Blue Button, or Zoom. Camera is working well, Sound output also, but input don't.
-
I just lost all my open tabs in the update, anyone else encountered the same? Doesn't look like I lost anything else though, bookmarks, notes, still there.
Is there any way to recover open tabs?
-
@Pezo If you're lucky these might not yet have been overwritten:

@Steffie Thanks for the tip. They have been overwritten, but I have a backup from last Saturday, so most of it should be there.
-
@npro: I do read the changes listed in the blog posts. I just didn't see that one listed (at least not recently).
-
@Pezo Though it's been a couple of years iirc since i last needed to retrieve a session from it after losing my tabs, fwiw i have a permanent backup job running every 5', copying:
steffie@archlinuxTower[~/temp/to delete/BiT Vivaldi Session Rolling Backup/backintime/ ... /home/steffie/.config/vivaldi-snapshot/Default] 18:00:08 Fri May 29 $> ls total 15920 -rw------- 13 steffie steffie 5510235 2020-05-27 19:49 Bookmarks -rw------- 1 steffie steffie 390851 2020-05-28 00:00 'Current Session' -rw------- 1 steffie steffie 694632 2020-05-27 22:35 'Current Tabs' -rw------- 78 steffie steffie 9696033 2020-05-26 20:58 Notes
& ditto for V-Stable. Back in the day when V was more crashy for me, these several times saved my bacon. I created this BU those years back explicitly coz i was indeed tired of losing my tabs on occasion. It overwrites fifo each 24 hrs.

@Gwen-Dragon By Chromium notification you mean that white box in the bottom right corner right? Always had that in the standalone version for as far as I can remember, so I confirm, and it wouldn't do native even if you would set vivaldi://flags/#enable-native-notifications which is desired and expected since Standalone means to not write entries in the registry as we all know, so I'm also curious how t0yz claims seeing OS notifications (in Windows 10 action center).
-
Not really, They appear at the top right of the screen.
-
@lamarca On Linux, not on Windows.
-
@npro Sure, on Linux. Which distro and DM?
-
@npro A screenshot, just in case

@npro Like this:
It doesn't even need to be set in the flags when it works properly. As I said, native notifications worked for me properly since they were introduced (I only use snapshots), with 2 exceptions that left a series of snapshots broken with just Chrome notifications. The snapshot I am using now is the latest one to work properly I believe, after it the rest of the builds are broken. -
Hello there
Certainly not. You are running Vivaldi on windows. According to @npro his issue is on Linux:)
-
@t0yz That's not a standalone, that's a typical default install for all users
-
@lamarca My standalone Vivaldi is on Windows, it's there in my signature, also I said about writing entries in the registry -which is clearly a Windows thing- and also mentioned Windows 10 Action Center, and I directly replied to Gwen who mentioned her Vivaldi installations on Windows The Chromium notification on Windows is at the bottom right, the native notification on Linux is on top right, is it clear for you now?
-
@npro Noted
-
@npro I never mentioned anything about standalone. I have no idea where it came from. I only mentioned the regression with native notifications not appearing.
I am somewhat sure I can make those appear with standalone too given the correct snapshot, I can check it out when I get home.
Edit: standalone doesn't seem to be able to do native notifications. I've tried with 1874.27 and standalone only does Chrome notifications. Once I install it normally, I get native notifications.
Problem is, next versions, i.e. 1906.3 and above, are unable to do native notifications, standalone or installed.
1874.27 can, once it's installed. -
Oh right, while I was confirming Gwen's lack of native notifications in standalone versions I thought your quote was referring to every install type, didn't read the original, sorry

the freeze problem seem to be fixed! thaks!
