Cant play any kind of video
-
Im on an Imac, late 2009, and been having issues all the time with straming video services like youtube, vimeo an others, inclusive videos in newspaper websites. Read something her earlier about this beeing caused by old GPU,s
This is very anoying, videos play fine in chrome, safari and Firefox.
Is there or will it be a fix for this -
@cybercon67 Also, does vivaldi://gpu show any errors?
On my older MacBook Pro, Vivaldi (and Chrome) have blacklisted the NVIDIA video driver and reverted to software-based rendering. However, YouTube and Netflix still play fine for me.

Just beware that if you choose to enable
Override software rendering list
/ vivaldi://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist it can cause problems on some sites (e.g. scrolling painfully slow, rendering glitches, etc.) or even make your system unstable. If a video driver gets blacklisted, it's often for a very good reason. -
