Thanks, now it runs. -

Hello Lady
You can rewrite a script that inculdes all Vivaldi warnings for all base distros and fetch the package , unpack it and copy-paste libffmpeg.so library to Vivaldi lib folder .... And then all the novice users will be comfortable ..... They only download Your script , Open the folder , Right click in File Manager and click on " Open Terminal Here " then enter sudo ./vivaldi-libffpeg-install.shRegardless of this version , You have done awesome in this 4 years .....
Bless You Lady -
@RWBrf Just update Vivaldi via APT

Hello @ruario! Can you enable VAAPI support for Linux? According to this commit, Chromium already have built-in support for hardware video decoding in Linux. Sadly, it's not enabled by default (gn flag
use_vaapi
), and Vivaldi also doesn't have this flag enabled. So, if I want to use hardware video decoding in Vivaldi on Linux, I should download Vivaldi sources, compile it withuse_vaapi=true
, download the exact same official version, install it and replace installed binaries with ones I compiled. And I should do this every time I want to update Vivaldi. Which is not great at all.Basically, I just ask you to enable one flag before compiling Vivaldi for Linux. That's all I want. I really love Vivaldi, it fits my setup very well, but I can't use it as daily-driver because of this hardware decoding thing. I'm watching a lot of videos, and if I'll use Vivaldi, it will consume my battery charge faster than Chromium with VAAPI. And I forgot to mention this: hardware video decoding is disabled by default even if
use_vaapi
was enabled during compilation. VAAPI support will not harm existing Vivaldi users on Linux because it will be optional.Thanks!

I've just solved the problem on openSUSE 15.0.
Running in a command line, I noticed this
No suitable library for HTML5 proprietary media (MP4[H.264/AAC]) was found, therefore only open codecs will play. To add support for proprietary media, issue the following command and restart Vivaldi: curl https://launchpadlibrarian.net/414953672/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_73.0.3683.75-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb |\ tail -c+1077 | tar JxC ~ --wildcards \*libffmpeg.so --xform 's,.*/,.local/lib/vivaldi/,'
Suggested command didn't work, but I downloaded that deb file manually, extracted, found libffmpeg.so and replaced the one in /opt/vivaldi/lib.
After restart all videos play.
It may be a temporary solution - I suppose it will work until the next update, then I will have to replace the file again.

@nPHYN1T3 said in Video playback problems, troubleshooting and solutions on Linux.:
Apologies if this is out of place. The forum renders in a rather difficult way to follow for me here.
You can start your own topic would be the best choice.

@nPHYN1T3 Every problem is linked to a solution. I support you to start a new topic.

I noticed that video playback (like Youtube) is using much more CPU.
At first I thought, may be that those last KDE Neon updates made the system heavier, or all those Intel microcode updates made this old hardware (is an old notebook) slower. But then I tested in Falkon and the CPU usage is much, much lower, where it used to be (40-50%).I use h264ify to force AVC and block 60fps on Vivaldi, but on Falkon even using VP9 the performance is much better.
So, the problem is with Vivaldi? What happened, that made the CPU usage increase (70-80%) so much even when viewing SD video?EDIT: I love you guys! After I posted here I checked for updates and looks like today's snapshot "solved" the problem?!

Thank you all for the links

Thanks for providing a dedicated thread for linux video.
Never experience any problem with linux video until 4.2+, video works, however sometimes, esp on youtube, it can cause the browser to crash.
However, I do not have the same problem on 4.1... weird..
-
@hatenewopera Crashed video are mostly a driver issue or caused by some extensions.

After upgrading to Vivaldi 4.3 today I struggled to get the hardware video decoding to work again. After some fiddling around I managed to enable it. However I noticed that when I open a youtube video and check which decoder it is using it says "VpxVideoDecoder" and Hardware Decoder -> "false"
As this also seems to be the case with Google Chrome, I suppose that's more of an engine issue than a browser issue? Did anybody actually get this to work?
Here are my settings according to vivaldi://gpu:

on vivaldi 4.1 it is absolutely fine. Furthmore, my other media players have not been crashing
