Dead Bird means the page crashed. Can you open the videos on this link ?
-
@lamarca I can't, dead bird again.

@luucasv That's what I supposed, missing codecs. It's easy and quick to install, follow the steps here and please, tell us it's working.
Not working... I'm still getting the same errors.
-
Can you please post the output of the commands bellow ?
apt-cache policy chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
apt-cache policy oxideqt-codecs-extra
-
@lamarca I was able to quickly take a screenshot, this is how the test page looks like write before I get the dead bird(if it helps with anything).

@luucasv Weird. The right codecs are installed: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra. When did you install?
Give me a video who cause Vivaldi to crash. -
@lamarca everything causes Vivaldi to crash, even opening youtube.com itself.
-
@luucasv Perhaps an extension, if you have any. Can you start Vivaldi from terminal:
vivaldi-snapshot --user-data-dir="/tmp/TEST-VIV"
It's like a clean install, (it just run, does not really install)
if the page still crashes, it is not Vivaldi related -

I have no extensions, just installed Vivaldi was about to try it. -
@luucasv Crashes on the first run of Vivaldi. That might be related to your platform, as I said above it's not Vivaldi related. Perhaps Gwen has a clue, she will be online sooner.

@lamarca Thank you!
-
@luucasv Anytime. You can try the local Ubuntu Fórum and tell them about this topic.

@gwen-dragon The user sent me a Chat. He is from Brasil.
He didn't told me the way chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra was installed:
It could be via UI or shell. In case of shell, which command "apt get install" or "dpkg -i"
Looking at their forum, there are many threads about chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra:
chromium-browser-l10n
chromium-browser
They use *dpkg" command in 8 out of 10 threads. His system must be broken. -

I do not get ny crahs on Ubuntu 16 LTS and 17.10 with Vivaldi Stable 1.13.
If you start vivaldi in shell:
vivaldi --user-data-dir="/tmp/V-TEST" https://www.youtube.com/
are there error messages in shell?
Please copy and paste here with code fence format (3 backticks, text, 3 backticks i.e.:$ vivaldi-snapshot --user-data-dir="/tmp/V-TEST" https://www.youtube.com/ ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
