H.264/MP4 Unable to be played back due to Hardware acceleration being disabled
-
I was looking over this [url=https://vivaldi.net/forum/vivaldi-browser/10682-h-264-mp4-video-not-working]thread[/url], it seems that it was a hardware issue for them. For them it did not work in Opera also, however it is working for me in Opera but not Vivaldi. Did not want to hijack the thread. My chrome://gpu from Vivaldi: [spoiler]https://gist.github.com/Larry1123/de46dce10d5ea8c51f598ea6fa773e52/ae243a7ce9f1a47ba5e9d3b3137108f57104561c [img]https://i.imgur.com/0KFpmEq.png[/img][/spoiler] My chrome://gpu from Opera: [spoiler]https://gist.github.com/Larry1123/949736185f6ba97fcd18d20bc8fdd815/9bf11905b735066778f4abd7d128f61f0b9212c5 [img]https://i.imgur.com/osszXh5.png[/img][/spoiler] This was happening in the last stable release also. I am running Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, the GPU is a GeForce GTX 760, the CPU is an Intel i7-6700k. If there is any thing else that you would need to know let me know. Thanks to anyone that is able to help.

you can try the –enable-platform-accelerated-video-decoding switch
-
Sadly no change.
If I may add seeing the gist's revisions from the two is kind of cool in seeing what changes did happen.

I have the exact same problem, Hardware acceleration is disabled and cannot enable it. But what is really strange is that in very rare cases, it gets enabled and then I can watch H.264 encoded videos. It happens sometimes without making any modification.
The common denominator with OP is that I also use a Skylake Intel CPU : i7 6700HQ (for laptops).
So my iGPU is an Intel HD Graphics 530, and my dGPU is an NVIDIA GTX 970M. All working in Windows 10 x64, with Vivaldi stable x64 in its latest available version 1.1.453.52.I have installed the latest version of Intel Graphics Drivers (15.40) and the latest NVIDIA drivers (WHQL 365.10)

GpuProcessHostUIShim: The GPU process exited normally. Everything is okay.Same behaviour with 32 bit Vivaldi for Windows on same PC, hardware acceleration is disabled 9 times out of 10. Please tell me this will get corrected soon! This web browser is really nice, but would be even nicer with HW acceleration on our Skylake CPU/iGPU
-
@Gwen-Dragon:
Your problem is the Intel GPU and or the driver. Disable it, because it produces such problems.
Thank you very much for your answer. But could you tell me how I can disable the iGPU? Because I own a laptop with Intel HD graphics + GTX 970M, all of that is run via NVIDIA Optimus Technology, so the GPU switches on automatically depending on the graphics load. Usually the iGPU is used to display the OS and 2D apps, and the nvidia chip is used with 3D graphics.
-
As far as I know the intel GPU is disabled at the bios level. Unless there is some other way I should have disabled someother way it I don't think it is why it is not working. I can't see any other GPU on my system other than my main GPU so as far as I know it it should be something with Vivaldi, as it works in Opera fine.
It does not work in both 32bit and 64 bit. I have uninstalled the 32bit version now because I could not get the 64bit version to launch for some reason with both installed. If there is anything you want me to try I'll be willing to reinstall the 32bit version if needed.
I have been enjoying Vivaldi a lot would hate to have to switch back to what I was using before because I can't get this to work.

Larry1123 - in your case I would guess that you have the 64bit version installed using the default install options - which means for ALL users.
When installing the 32bit version, did you install it as Standalone? If not, it would be using the same profile as 64 bit and so be "messing" things up.From your gpu info, hardware acceleration is unavailable - so you might have the problem Sajadi referred to where only the 64bit version has a problem.
I suggest you re-install the 32bit as Standalone (if I remember correctly it is under the advanced option) and test that.

Just tested it, it did not work. chrome://gpu
As I had said to start with this was something that was happening in both 32 bit and 64 bit for both 1.0 and 1.1.
Is there anything else I can do to provide more info as to what may be wrong?
-
@Gwen-Dragon:
Sorry i dont know as i dont have such mixed GPU hardware.
Please try 32bit Vivaldi, may be the 64bit has a bug with some drivers/gpu!
Only for testing, because rendering could go slower, start in DOS box as
vivaldi.exe –disable-gpuNow a playback?
Hello, I tried with vivaldi.exe –disable-gpu in CMD window, with 32bit Vivaldi, still no hardware acceleration available.
