Web-Panels & Streaming Audio:
I was a bit slow to understand web-panels, but for the last few SS's I've been using them LOTS ... they greatly extend V's utility, versatility, & "feel-good factor" for me. One of the sites now living in my panel is http://doublej.net.au/playlist.
Mainly I use it only to read the playlist itself, but occasionally I also try to stream the audio from it... but that aspect never works. Til today it never occurred to me that the problem might be specifically the web-panel, & not some sad incompatibility between the site & V per se. I was wrong, it IS just the web-panel. If i view that site in a normal tab, it streams the audio like a champion. I am well aware that at the moment no Extensions seem to work in the web-panels, but surely this is unrelated to Extensions? Is it possible that my pepperflashplugin-nonfree also does not work in web-panels?Vivaldi & Netflix: I've completely lost the plot here, regarding if the current official status is that V does or does not fully support NF. Certainly all the early TP & SS's did not play NF, but magically there was a SS quite some time back that did work, then with later SS's it broke again, then more recently another SS fixed it again. However my current [latest] SS version, & as best i recall a few before, also did not work. Is this the accepted wisdom, or do others actually have NF playing in V on Linux? If yes, are there any special tricks I need to do pls? Here's the typical error, whenever i attempt to play anything on NF, in V:
Whoops, something went wrong... Unexpected Error There was an unexpected error. Please reload the page and try again. Error Code: M7355-1203

Well, about Netflix is not working. They tell me "Netflix is having trouble playing videos on this browser . Make sure you are using the official version of Chrome.". The error code is M7355-1203

Hello Steffie,
It may give you some vicarious satisfaction to know that Netflix works on my system without Chrome! It's Vivaldi snapshot 422.8, Fatdog 702 on a 2009 Lenovo netbook.In PuppyLinux, large apps are often in the form of sfs files which can be loaded and unloaded to the layered file system. With both GC and V sfs's loaded and libffmpeg updated per your instructions, Netflix runs. Then I tried "install /opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/libwidevinecdm.so" and unloaded GC sfs (/opt/google/ disappears from the file system). Netflix still plays :woohoo:, even when the GC.sfs file is deleted and the system rebooted.
Credit or no, thanks again for posting clear, complete directions for this.

Ha ha, carrying your excellent instructions one tiny step further makes me a champion! I'm glad it worked.
