Solved DRM video has stopped working (vivaldi & snapshot).
-
Both browsers the most recent available.
Arch Linux
Wayland / SwayWas working, just stopped, works on Google Chrome. Any ideas?

@aaron What is the output of
$ grep -aom1 'N-[0-9]\+-' ~/.local/lib/vivaldi-snapshot/media-codecs-b335304e87203dba10c2801f8bfa862cacdcaea9186b2a00a7ede809a0208fc6/libffmpeg.so | cut -d- -f2
You should see 106454 there.

@xircon Have you run
/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/update-ffmpeg --user
? -
@guigirl said in DRM video has stopped working (vivaldi & snapshot).:
/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/update-ffmpeg --user
/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/update-ffmpeg --user Proprietary media codecs (104707) was already present
Last updates to vivaldi:
2022-03-16T22:38 3:vivaldi 5.1.2567.57-1 -> 5.1.2567.66-1 2022-03-23T19:08 20:vivaldi-snapshot 5.2.2603.6-1 -> 5.2.2617.2-1

@xircon I can not check my Arch installation at this time as i am in office.
My ideas:
Please restart Vivaldi, update of DRM library can take some minutes after a update.
If that does not help, check and update Widevine DRM. -
May be the current media codec from previous Vivaldi installation is incompatible.
sudo rm -r /var/opt/vivaldi*/media-codecs-*
rm -r ~/.local/lib/vivaldi*/media-codecs-*
-
I am at work too - will report back this evening (UK time).
-
@doctorg Sorry! no these dir/files in my Arch Linux
-
@aaron Oh, sorry, i checked my Manjaro and thought that is same file system layout as Arch :shaming:
-
The correct (external) codecs are probably not yet available for the Chromium 100 version in the AUR, uninstall them
sudo pacman -R vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs
and use Vivaldi's bundled ones -which are always curated by a dev- (just launch Vivaldi after that and restart, or run
$ update-ffmpeg --user
or# --system
) from now on . -
@npro Thanks! but Unfortunately, no effect

@npro OMZ, how does any human even know such hyper-esoteric stuff like that, for goodness sake!

@guigirl Ruari explained the codecs shenanigans some time ago
-
@npro I've just updated to snapshot 5.2.2621.3, then redo "/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/update-ffmpeg --user", IT WORKED !
-
I got 104707, is it wrong?
If you are using Snapshot, yes. You could extract the codec from a .deb file, but today there has been a Snapshot update with a fix [Linux][Media] If you you have an old snap sourced libffmpeg.so it will not be upgraded (VB-87644) , so try that (updating) to v.2621.3.
-
@npro I got it ! Thanks !thanks again. you are so kind!
