[VB-21185] Html5 Videos won't play
-
I probably should have done it before posting, but I couldn't restart the PC this morning. After a complete restart everything is fine, in flags I've reset all to default to be sure nothing there was altered.
H264/MP4 always working at every fresh PC restart and also after closing and reopening Vivaldi. Luckily it seems NOT a bug but something stuck in memory in my PC.

Well think yourself lucky - because when the advertisers/malvertisers finally adopt it BIG time - you'll wish you had a full-proof way of turning it off!

Same problem here,
win 10 anniversary, gtx970, current drivers.
No difference between 32/64bit builds or stable/snapshot.After failing to play a video, vivaldi:gpu gives me this:
[11044:11056:0903/132059:ERROR:gpu_video_decode_accelerator.cc(365)] : HW video decode not available for profile 12
[11044:11056:0903/132108:ERROR:gpu_video_decode_accelerator.cc(365)] : HW video decode not available for profile 11I don't have this kind of errors in chrome.
-
Try disabling hardware video decode in vivaldi://flags.
I had to disable it to allow youtube 60fps videos playing without heavy frame dropping, which doesn't occur with hw video decoding disabled. Seems in Vivaldi hw video decoding is buggy. -
didn't help, for example here:

I think youtube rolled out a new codec/drm and its not fully working -
Works perfectly for me even at fullscreen 720@60pfs. Sorry, no idea what's wrong in your system.
-
Both embedded (here) and on Youtube that video plays for me. So not a "new codec" problem.
Win10 and "only" GT 640 card using Vivaldi 1.4.589.2 (Developer Build) (64-bit). -
@purgatori:
Playback of HTML5 video was broken on both of the recent snapshots for me.
Are you sure it wasn't the missing Widevine plug-in which caused your playback problem?
-
So seems like mp4, h.264 and drm videos won't play. Also scrolling doesn't seems too smooth. But was to be expected without hardware acceleration.
MS "kindly" removed the WMDRM support from the anniversary build
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/25975/windows-10-loss-music-video-anniversary-update
And that broke the WMC functionality for the cable card users in the US as well.
I fixed that anyway, I'll post a tutorial if you're interested

@purgatori:
I don't know. All I know is that Youtube videos wouldn't work until I rolled back to 1.3.
Did you file a bug report ?
Go to https://vivaldi.com/bugreport
You will receive a reply email with the bug number VB-xxxx
However, the bug tracker is only available to Vivaldi and insiders, it is not publicly available. So the only way to know it has been solved is to check each Changelog as it appears.If you can provide specific urls to videos which play on your system in Viv 1.3(stable) but not in Viv 1.4RC1 Snapshot (and are not DRM protected) then that would qualify as a regression.
-
Most Youtube videos are not DRM protected, but I can't say that all are not. As long as you gave a few examples, the devs can check them.
-
What's your system? They all play perfectly here on Win 10, Viv32, AMD A10 8750 processor, AMD Radeon R7 graphics
-
Hmm. Should play fine. Do you use any extensions? Have you ever made any changes to chrome://settings/content? Ever made any per-site changes using the site info link at the far left of the address bar?
I do nothing special here. Just install Vivaldi and run it.
-
You have a lot of factors to test there.
First, turn off adguard and malwarebytes and try. If no joy, then with Vivaldi closed rename the Default folder (path found at menu/help/about/profile path) and try again. If THAT fixes it, read how to refresh your profile. You will have already done the first part of it.
-
1.4 final MIGHT not help. Adguard and Malwarebytes may see Chromium 53 as a totally different animal from Chromium 52, the foundation for 1.3. It will be interesting to see your results.
-
First one doesn't play here, rest does (gtx 970, win10 anniv)
-
maybe you should go into vivaldi:flags and disable hardware-accelerated decode, and see what that does.
-
I have no problem with any of the supposedly problematic links shared here.
Can you try to install the Metro DVD player, not because its features (it's just an useless metro app) but because it unlocks some parts of the MS stock codecs.
I have it installed on all my machines because the WMC installer, so could be something that matters.
-
Just tried the No Man's Sky video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXwnytHKU_g
Plays fine for me in Vivaldi 1.4RC2.
I notice Vivaldi 1.4 Stable is now available - but don't expect this to be different to 1.4RC2 for your problem. -

Could you please provide a link? I'm not seeing a 'Metro DVD Player' app in the Store.
It's not in the store for people not coming from a WMC enabled Windows.
Probably the faster way to install it is using my WMC installer. If you don't need/like WMC just install and uninstall it with the provided scripts.
The WMC will be completely removed but the DVDplayer will stay

P.S. Please pay attention to the download options or you will get some crapware instead of the intended file
