Video players on multiple sites crashing and/or buffering constantly.
-
Nothing changed to my knowledge. I have windows update paused but i accidently let the automatic update feature of vivaldi on so it may have updated into a broken state? im not sure.
on multiple players, namely the Twitch and VIDSRC the player crashes on multiple attempts and sometimes just breaks. Twitch gave the "Your browser encountered an error while decoding the video. (Error #3000)" but looking it up online didnt find an answer.
i disabled hardware acceleration and im not sure if it helped so far or is a placebo effect since im writing this as a video is buffering.
My internet stats have remained the same. About 30Mbps down and 1ish up.

Please try the troubleshooting steps, including testing in a clean profile and disabling adblocking/extensions:
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/troubleshoot/troubleshooting-issues/Mostly extensions can cause instability.
And internet/antivirus security software.
In rare cases user-installed codecs packages and GPU drivers or OS updates. -
thats the weird thing the only extensions i have on are very popular; Ublock, Stylus, LastPass, and Reddit Enhancement Suite
the only software i use i the windows defender which never caused an issue before.
Im going to try the new profile thing but im not sure if i can even browse the internet without an ad blocker since ive been doing it for so long.
