@maels The gals and guys of Soprano & Vivaldi Team are happy to have users like you.

@DoctorG

I will try and reproduce the error from a fresh install. However when the alternative is to have no usable Vivaldi or a working one with errors - it's no choice.

As it is not possible to perfectly sync upgrades on all desktops on different OS and architectures in different locations - does a mixture of 6.9 & 7.0 syncing be an issue?

Is the problem local or in the cloud?

@DoctorG Sorry for late reaction. H265/HEVC definitely not working on Chromium, Vivaldi and Firefox. But, there's a slight progress, because all versions of H264 are now working on Vivaldi and pages like Twitter/X and others are now capable of playing videos (and motion GIFs, which also didn't work), finally.
Widevine library as got by script in discussions is linked to chromium and vivaldi folders. The H265/HEVC videos are all playable in VLC when downloaded.

I've tested the codecs support here:

@Milliways I can tell you difference: Vivaldi Stable has Chromium 126 core, Vivaldi Snapshot 128.

But i see in your previous posts, that you can not run it on your RasPi3.

If you install the 6.9 Snapshot in shell for a test, what happens?
sudo apt update; sudo apt install vivaldi-snapshot;
Can you install?
And checked syslog at time of vivaldi-snapshot start?
Start vivaldi-snapshot in one shell window:
vivaldi-snapshot
Do you get error messages here?
Open an other shell window and run these command:
sudo grep vivaldi /var/log/syslog;
Which errors show at time of start?

@Milliways Please submit a bug report indicating you can't get it to run on that hardware and provide as much information as possible, including what you have already tried.

Also, post the bug report number (VB-xxxxxx) in this thread.

Thanks for looking into it. This was very simple. Got update from Chromium recopied libffmpeg.so, video perfect now.

@choy Congrats, you can enjoy viedeo with Vivaldi on RasPi 🙂

If the test page (HTML5 Proprietary Media on Linux) is a reliable indicator for video playback / a working ffmpeg plugin, it seems as if v7, at least v7.1.3570.47 has a working ffmpeg plugin on board.

After updating vivaldi on a rpi4 (aarch64), I checked the above mentioned test site and it indicated success, even though I haven't downloaded any new ffmpeg library file for a while. The last one I had added manually was for v6.9. To be certain, I removed all ffmpeg libraries of past versions I had manually put into the vivaldi directory and restarted vivaldi to see if the test site would still indicate a working ffmpeg library - it did and does.

It seems as if the times of having to manually download / extract a working ffmpeg.so file for the current vivaldi version on rpi are over - for now.

Thanks, vivaldi team!

Have you checked our Help page with tips for running Vivaldi on Raspberry Pi?

@npro Okay, thanks!

@BusyBird15 We had this issue on non‐ARM installs too. What you need to do is clean up your profile. Search anything with GPU in its name and delete, then hardware acceleration should work. If it worked before anyway, never tried to get it working on a Raspberry Pi. Creating a new profile works too of course.

I try to watch netflix for like 5 Hrs and no results
pretty F**ked up

After some tinkering on it: Two observations made -> The "problem" is related to /opt/vivaldi/lib/libffmpeg.so
On a fresh Raspi OS (64bit Bookworm) install, replacing the library with the one from the chromium-browser works fine (at the moment),
but the same on Bullseye (32bit) results in a messed up Vivaldi UI (unless hardware acceleration is disabled) - though it is playing the videos.

@OrangePiRob You missed that? 😉
@DoctorG said in Widevine not updating on ubuntu system:

Perhaps unofficial article at https://gist.github.com/ruario/1d45cf3a8c403afe2f6ede2bdc8cdb35 helps.

I've just found that if I install Vivaldi 5.5 and run it I can then install 6.1 and it doesn't crash and will work. But if I close X and start it again Vivaldi 6.1 crashes with the seg fault.

So my simple solution to this problem is to revert to Vivaldi 5.8 (the last ver 5). This also solves my problem with drop-down menus.

Cheers,
Steven
