Hi! After today's update (sth about bing chat in news) all videos are green - audio is ok but video is just green square in many sites. Also vivaldi icons on right of address bar are blacked.

@andre_2000
Some Mint user report video issues, you can try to run:
sudo /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/update-ffmpeg
To update the ffmpeg library.

You have some flags enabled:
--enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-features=Vulkan
You may have to switch rasterization ON if it is OFF or the other way around.
Vivaldi does not support Wayland, I read something about --enable-features=Vulkan but I cant remember at moment.

This is on Opensuse Tumbleweed, Vivaldi 6.1.3035.75, all default on my laptop, specs in my signature.

Cheers, mib

@Pathduck Thanks for your tip. I will publish questions correctly next time. This time I can't edit my first post, it's too late (exceeded 3600 sec after posting)

That doesn't solve the problem, just switches off hardware acceleration, fall back to software decoding.
I have the same issue on a TinkPad T440s.
On my system vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs: 114.0.5735.119-1 is installed, and vulkan hardware acceleration works with Vivaldi ≤ 6.0.2979.18.
Updating Vivaldi to any higher version breaks video decoding support. That's a known issue, reported for example here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/909381

@matzkowsky Depends on Chromium core version, GPU diver, driver config.

Activate chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklist and restart.

I have no Intel GPU and this is only a try to help.

@DoctorG Thanks for the hint. As I have an intel GPU (Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4400), I can confirn, that doesn't help. I had the flag #ignore-gpu-blocklist already enabled.
Therefore I'm hoping that the Vivaldi team can fix the issue in upcoming versions.
