[VB-21185] Html5 Videos won't play
-
@purgatori:
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.
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

Same problem here.
Had snapshot, uninstalled it and installed stable 1.3.
Everything worked until I updated it to 1.4 this morning.
Tried with different "Default" folder - didn't help. -
@purgatori:
Malwarebytes really did not like that site.
Yes. It's because distracted users are used to click w/o thinking, if you you know how it works (and you are, I have purposely explained it) you have just to disable temporarily the protection, download the file, and re-enable it.
Don't let the automated things override a bit of thinking/reading/learning.

I had the same issue as purgatori but i seem to have fixed it by enabling "Override software rendering list" in vivaldi://flags/
-
Glory hallelujah.

@TheAkashicTraveller:
I also had this problem. Had re-enable hardware acceleration here vivaldi://settings/search#hardware and set the Override software rendering list flag. It looks to me like they broke software rendering
Vivaldi did not make changes to software rendering. Looks like Chromium did.
-
Incredibly now with 1.4 with both hw rendering enabled OR disabled, youtube videos @60fps work perfectly without frame drops.
and http://demo.castlabs.com/ now works because WidevineCDM is correctly linked and used.
All good for me

Please read the suggested fixes above, and try them. So far, every original poster on this thread got a fix using one of them or another. Since Vivaldi users as a whole do not have a problem at this time, individual users will have to try and see which fix addresses their platform and their use case. Vivaldi cannot yet build a fix for every single use case.

With earlier versions of Vivaldi me all mejor.Ahora funionaba fail me all videos.Desde version 1.4 I do not see videos.
Before HTML5 stop seeing the videos on the network vk.Con other browsers (Chrome, Edge, Maxthon, Firefox) works well. With Opera I fail videos vk network. I test everything poneis forum, it does not work. I have Windows 10. -
I just downgraded to the previous version and everything works fine now, I'll wait to upgrade until the Vivaldi people fix this problem
:whistle: -
It may be a while. So far, developers and testers have been unable to reproduce the problem. There seems to be a "family" of machines out there whose video reproduction was affected by Chromium 53, but unfortunately none of the devs or testers appears to own one. If enough bug reports are turned in with enough data about the hardware and OSes suffering from the glitch, developers MAY be able to try to re-create it in-house. On the other hand, a number of people who claimed "The update broke video on my machine" have also changed this or that setting and fixed it. So time, and an accumulation of data, may eventually lead to some changes that work better for more users.

Still doesn't work for me.

"Override software rendering list"
did it.Thanks!

Glad you were able to fix it.
I didn't do any of those things on my seven regularly-used (all Win 10) machines, because they all processed video in Vivaldi 1.4 with zero problems. As it turns out, so did all of the machines owned by all of the developers and all of the other testers. None of them could replicate the problem.
On the other hand, my eighth, oldest, least-used (Win 7) machine, containing an Intel processor with NVidia video, was unable to process video (except Flash) in Vivaldi, although it could do so in Firefox, Opera, IE, Chrome, and 3 out of four protocols in Chromium. None of the fixes that worked for other people here, worked on that machine. I searched out and updated video drivers, and everything. Nothing fixed it. Therefore, I was able to provide a platform that myself and other testers could run a bunch of trials on, so as to give meaningful feedback, error logs, etc. to the Vivaldi developers. That's basically what I did all day today, while neglecting my actual job (I don't work for Vivaldi). We collaborated to put together a meaningful bug report so that the developers could have a leg up, figuring out what's wrong.
With luck, the info we were able to develop will lead to a fix. I hope users are able to benefit from it.

Override software rendering did if for me too, it also appears to have fixed the issues of new tabs loading, but not displaying/rendering. Thanks!

@Gwen-Dragon:
Which VB-# in bugreport is yours?
We settled on VB-21185 (which we edited) and duped-in several others.

Got a strange one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3D8Pji8qy4This video fails for me around 02:24 mark - just play it from the beginning on it's youtube page (doesn't happen if it's embedded here) and wait for it. If you skip it - it plays fine.
The fail code is related to the cpn value in last request, for example if your video fails, last watchtime request was this:https://s.youtube.com/api/stats/watchtime?ns=yt&el=detailpage&cpn=eSgrid6k2-H71NJv&docid=u3D8Pji8qy4&ver=2&cmt=144.051&plid=AAU8_tEibZGOwi8m&ei=SyviV4jzHJW1deiCktgM&fmt=303&fs=0&rt=112.98&of=zHu7kVBvzeRU-k0MLASPiw&euri&subscribed=1&lact=5767&cl=133623165&state=playing&vm=CAEQAQ&c=WEB&cver=1.20160917&cplayer=UNIPLAYER&cbr=Chrome&cbrver=53.0.2785.122&cos=Windows&cosver=10.0&hl=pl_PL&cr=PL&uga=m29&len=854.521&afmt=251&idpj=-2&ldpj=0&rti=112&st=144.051&et=144.051&vis=3sowith cpn=eSgrid6k2-H71NJv so eSgrid6k2-H71NJv will be your error message. No idea if it's related or is it just how youtube works - I remember blocking that once with easyprovacy list and same thing happened.
// edit:
and now it works, wtf. -
For the record few minutes ago was released a minor update to Vivaldi 1.4 stable, which includes the HTML5 fix backported from the snapshot stream
-
1.4 seems to fix the problem testing on random youtube videos.
There is a problem with youtube live videos however - they seem no to work (they do in chrome)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4R8DWoMoI7CAwX8_LjQHig - try any channel, I get a message about no known video formats.
