Did latest snapshot(s) break H.264/mp4 support for anyone?

It used to work perfectly with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra installed, it doesn't anymore. Anyone else? I'm on Xubuntu.

Yeah. I think the problem is vivaldi is now using chromium version 47 while the ffmpeg package in ubuntu is still version 45.

Found the answer. "chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra" work only with beta channel, for snapshot channel Vivaldi dev has a gist here: https://gist.github.com/ruario/bec42d156d30affef655#vivaldi-snapshot
It works!
