fedora problems with vivaldi
-
I installed fedora lately, I'm happy with it, everything works fine and I got all my stuff works fine.
except my web browser! .. where I spend most of my time!
GIFs, Videos on twitter and some videos on the web aren't working at all!
It's working on Chrome but not on Vivaldi!
I searched a lot trying to fix it, I got flash installed and It's latest version!
yet I can't fix these Issues![😕](https://forum.vivaldi.net/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f615.png?v=qknmjpmeqac ":\")

You have not the correct video codecs.
Install them please.

Gwen-Dragon's advice worked for me! I went to the first github link (above), copied the
latest-proprietary-media.shscript to a local directory and executed it from my account (not root) with no problems. After re-starting Vivaldi and checking the link where the test videos live (you get a reminder with the link when the script completes) the sites that had not worked for me before do now.Of course, I still hate auto-start videos...
