HTML5 Problems
-
I see lots of folks reporting that HTML5 playback is broken and that copying certain, presumably missing files fixes the problem. My issue is that HTML5 videos play fine 98% of the time, but 2% of the time I get a message from YouTube that my browser does not recognize any of the available formats. The diagnostic page indicates that H.264 and MSE & H.264 and not supported.
It is interesting that these problem videos also do not play in Opera either, but they do play in Chrome and Firefox.
I am using v1.10.867.46 (Stable channel) (64-bit) in Solus.

I'm a noob in this area, so please help me understand this. I already have the free x264 codec installed and, like I said, 98% of the time, I have no problems, whatsoever. Can you ELI5 why I only intermittently receive the message that Vivaldi does not recognize/support H.264 and the rest of the time, everything works as expected?
BTW - I do not have Flash installed.

Update:
I haven't done a damn thing to my system, I haven't rebooted, updated, nor have I restarted Vivaldi. But today, that problem video plays just fine in both Vivaldi and Opera.Does anyone have any insight as to what could possibly cause intermittent issues such as this? Is it sunspots, or perhaps a poltergeist? Do I need Ghostbusters, or is this a job for a priest?

@Gwen-Dragon normal yt hickups
or the content creator has published the video before finishing the yt decoding. -
@Gwen-Dragon yt videos works fine in vivaldi out ot the box. The hickups happen from time to time on yt.
-
Btw. this video was published 15 hours ago I think at this time there was no html5 version rendert by yt...
-
Reading between the lines, does this mean that when a vid is initially posted to YouTube, it is only available for playback via Flash and then some hours later it is transcribed to HTML5?
Sorry for the rookie questions, as I'm not a streamer/podcaster.

@K3f3LmL yes this happens from time to time. I have this issues with video notifikation from twitter...
When you upload a video to yt youtube renders all the versions of a video 480p, 1080p, 1440p or higher. As a Creator you can go public when ever you want if 1 videoformat exists. Normaly a creator will wait but...
