Video (html5?) does not start in Vivaldi 1.10
-
Hi there.
In the past I installed Vivaldi from Debian packages with "deb2targz" and copied all files onto my (Sabayon) system. In the beginning (1.1) I had problems to play built in videos, which I could activate then by copying some files (ffmpeg.so?) from Google chrome. Then I always copied those necessary files from version 1.1 to 1.2, 1.2 to 1.3 ... and finally 1.8. to 1.9.Then I downloaded Vivaldi 1.10. As already expected in v. 1.10 the videos do not start either, but when I copied necessary files from Vivaldi 1.9 (/opt/vivaldi_1.9) to the new directory /opt/vivaldi nothing changed.
So, what happened with v. 1.10? How can I make those videos which started before (until v. 1.9) start in version 1.10?I also tried to install the in between existing package in Sabayon repository, but there is the same problem: videos are not startable.

Sorry, you copy what from 1.9 installation folder?
I copied libffmpeg.so from earlier version into each /opt/vivaldi version. In latest vivaldi-snapshot (1.10.xxx) there is a lib/libffmpeg.so existing. different to that which I have in Vivaldi 1.9.
Anyway, though I linked /opt/google/chrome/libvidevinecdm.do to /opt/vivaldi directory nothing changed. So, I'm still using version 1.9 now. -
@a.leconte One of our mods/sopranos ( @Gwen-Dragon ) has developed a script to install libffmpeg. I believe she keeps it up to date.
Look at the script here : https://gwendragon.de/repo/linux/vivaldi/

$HOME/.local/lib/vivaldi/.
so I copied /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/lib/libffmpeg.so to $HOME/.local/lib/vivaldi/. (I had to create that directory!). It still doesn't able to start videos.
I checked the 'vivaldi-snapshot' file for libffmpeg.so, but I could really not find something like '/opt/vivaldi' or '/opt/vivaldi/lib' for path for libffmpeg.so for version 1.9. I wonder.
Anyway, I can not start videos in Vivaldi 1.10.
The scripts I can not use, my distro is Gentoo based Sabayon. And I wonder, why Sabayon does not deliver / install (depending) libffmpeg.so at a correct location. -
Hi a.leconte, did you check http://html6test.com/ ?
It show you what codec is working.Cheers, mib
EDIT: Do you have Chromium on your system? -
@mib2berlin
Yes, I have Chrome on my OS. And I started http://html6test.com. Result for video codecs is:
Codecs
H.265 support No ✘
H.264 support Yes
Ogg Theora support Yes
WebM with VP10 support Yes
WebM with VP9 support Yes -
@mib2berlin ...sorry, not Chromium, only Chrome (but I don't use it, I use Vivaldi and Firefox...

How about WEBP/VP9 in Youtube?
Youtube works .... https://youtu.be/Mnb_3ibUp38?t=101

No problem, Vivaldi "looks" in Chrome directory too.
I have exact same result at html6test but no problems to play videos.
Some pages doesn´t work but only ~10% of all pages or less.
Strange why it not work for you.
We need another Gentoo user here.Cheers, mib

Some pages doesn´t work but only ~10% of all pages or less.ok, but why does Vivaldi 1.9 play videos?
I simply would copy the relevant files from v. 1.9 to Vivaldi 1.10 directory, but there are version errors. -

I assume your libffmpeg.so in /opt/vivaldi(-snapshot)/lib still Vivaldi original.
If your distro doesn't provide new libffmpeg.so, try these;Download https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs-59.0.3071.83-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Extract it, & place the library in $HOME/.local/lib/vivaldi/
Restart Vivaldi....this was the trick! Thank you very much! But how could I know about this? Why isn't the adopted libffmpeg.so delivered with Vivaldi? Just one Megabyte.
But, something other I saw, when testing with web site: https://html5test.com. This site achieves less points (513) than https://html6test.com.
Nevertheless, now it works. Great! -

What's matter in the end, "Does the browser (the tool) could do their 99% jobs they promised in real world people use". Just up to 99%, nothing is perfect in this world.
You're right - and I just want to mention, that Amazon Prime videos are played also. I tried this after testing built in videos...
