Will Not Play Youtube or Other Videos In Facebook.
-
I've searched the interest and this site and nothing about this. I cannot watch any videos on Facebook when using Vivaldi, but I can watch the same videos on Facebook if I am in Chrome. What is up with that. I can watch movies if I am within Youtube.com

Same issue here^ (running v1.4 on Sierra)

Provide links for videos that definitely don't work and information about the gpu and operating system version you are using.
Check if hardware acceleration works here: vivaldi://gpuIf hardware acceleration is disabled it's often a problem with unsupported graphics. If that's the case you can either start vivaldi from terminal with this command
open /Applications/Vivaldi.app --args --ignore-gpu-blacklist ```to test it out, or go to vivaldi://flags and enable "Override software rendering list" to make above change permanent. It's the first entry on the site.

@silv_ I don't think you need to be concerned about it. It's an issue with all chromium browsers since chrome 53 or 54. You have to do the same change in Google Chrome and in Opera if you want to play videos. Happens mostly with older intel igpus. Are you using HD3000 by any chance?

Thanks, this worked a treat. I'm also on a Early 2011 MBP HD3000
vivaldi://flags and enable "Override software rendering list"

These steps helped me with the same issue:
Open additional settings: vivaldi://flags
Disable "Hardware-accelerated video decode" option -
