Embedded videos in Tumblr will not play.
-
At least for me, they won't. Win 10, 64 bit. Several different versions of Vivaldi (including the latest snapshot). Example page: imaginesharks.tumblr.com/post/155040316564/drainedv0dka-time-to-get-festive
That video just hangs there with the three dots just cycling like it was loading, but it never loads nor plays. Tumblr does well with embedded Vine or Youtube videos, it's just these native videos that Vivaldi has refused to play. Like. At all. These work without issue with every other browser I've got (Chrome, Firefox, & MS Edge) I've updated, uninstalled and reinstalled Vivaldi, Flash, and Java multiple times, including manual uninstalls where I go into the user profile and rip out every leftover file I can find, as well as getting into the registry and cleaning that out as well.
Any ideas? I'm fresh out.

@Kateywumpus Strange, that plays OK for me.
Have you checked your extensions (especially any ad-blockers)?
Easiest to try with a fresh profile (just rename to test and if that works then you have a starting point).
Refresh Profile -
@TbGbe Yup! Did a clean install with no extensions. Refreshed the profile. Still doing the same thing.
-
@Kateywumpus Hmm. Can you see ALL the elements supported on
https://www.youtube.com/html5 -
@TbGbe Yup. I'm pretty sure that the video is Java. (Which I've uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared the cache, did a clean install, try a beta version, and sacrificed a small animal to.) I mean, popping open the console to see what kind of errors it's throwing gives me this:
You get these exact same warnings when you run vanilla Chrome, and yet the video runs. There is something going on and I can't figure out what the heck it is.

Works fine here.

@Kateywumpus said in Embedded videos in Tumblr will not play.:
I'm pretty sure that the video is Java.
I'm pretty sure it is NOT java - I don't have that installed
P.S. JavaScript is not the same as Java.Just to be sure - you did try simply renaming the Default folder as I suggested?
(Uninstall/reinstall will NOT refresh the profile).

@Gwen-Dragon There we go. Disabling hardware acceleration did the trick.
-
I had what I believe is the same problem: when I clicked play on a tumblr embedded html5 video, it played the first ½ second of the video, then just displayed the "broken content" icon, or whatever you would call it.
Anyway disabling hw acceleration did fix it for me, but I wonder what acceleration was the problem? I'm on Win7 64bit with a GTX 970 gpu, and I've installed the latest drivers from Nvidia. Does audio playback have anything to do with this? I have an M-Audio audiophile sound card, which is not exactly a common card.

This issue Still exists in 2019, on Linux version of Vivaldi.
This 'fix' does not apply, as the settings suggested here are Disabled, Not Available in Linux version of Vivaldi.
So, any other suggestions?Issue.
embedded mp4 / html5 videos do NOT play in Vivaldi. Period.
if I include a webm encoded option, it will play. I long ago Stopped coding pages with flash, so I don't know if it's an issue.
example http://landistwo.com/#media.
the first video has a webm version where the second does not.
This is true all over the web, not just my site.
even the direct link provided in the above 'fix' will not play. Nothing to do with the embedding code, html, server etc..
Any ideas?
Landis.ps. I've ALWAYS used mozill, and later firefox and hate google chrome, BUT, this Vivaldi thing, based on chromium project is really kinda nice.
Thanks. -
Working.
installed 'chromium-ffmpeg-extra' from opensuse repo (it's only offered by a user, so you need to use software.opensuse.org/search to find, download and install using zypper local repo).
navigate in console (terminal) to /usr/lib64/vivaldi/ and create symlink to chromium-ffmpeg (libffmpeg.so)
$ ln -s /usr/lib64/chromium-ffmpeg-extra/libffmpeg.so libffmpeg.so
(note: you need to be IN the directory you want to create a link in)
quit and re-start Vivaldi... MPEG4 videos Work!
Hope this helps someone.
Landis. -
