Vertical Reader Mode - Vivaldi browser Snapshot 1.14.1072.3
-
@gwen-dragon I have tried installing the package but that didn't work because it copies the file to a different directory with a different name.
then I just downloaded the file and extracted it. renamed to libffmpeg.so and tried copying to /opt/vivaldi-snapshot and /opt/google/chrome and .local/lib/vivaldi-snapshot but still no luck in all cases (the warning still appears when I launch vivaldi-snapshot from a terminal and checked with youtube.com/html5 still says not supported)anyway most of the youtube videos i tried playing work just fine
Edit: facebook videos are not working (an error about ffmpegDemuxer missing shows up on terminal)

Annoying bugs should be fixed first before these features like maximized bug.
-
@saudiqbal While I'm with you that some bugs become annoyances, you have to understand what it means to develop a HUGE project like Vivaldi or any other browser. What if all the annoying bugs are not always reproducibile and working solutions have not been coded yet? Should they keep on hold Vivaldi forever until all bugs are squashed? I don't think that's a good idea. The maximized window fix introduced last SS, for me, works on my Windows 10 PC for example but not on both my Windows 7 PCs and as stated in the release blog, they are already aware there is more work to do.

@veraser the version of Vivaldi with chromium 64 is the snapshot which has a totally different directory
~.local/lib/vivaldi-snapshot
~/opt/vivaldi-snapshot -

Hi, I use snapshot too but I have /home/user/.local/lib/vivaldi
instead of vivaldi-snapshot.
Expanded ffmpeg.so copied to this directory and h.264 is working.Cheers, mib

@alf5000: Devs are working on it.
-
@steffie: No need to investigate. The issue has already been fixed internally.

1.1.4.1064.3: no problem
1.1.4.1072.3: problem as shown in the pic -
@christoph142: Oddly enough, when I installed the snapshot this morning, the browser was opening in a semi-maximized state. This afternoon, the browser is opening fully maximized every time. Go figure...
-
@michael_from_germany: Forgive me, but I can't see what the problem is. Your pic isn't really explaining what the issue is, so can you describe the problem, please.
Going to the site, it seems to be working for me and I don't get any dialogue boxes pop up. However, I say seems, because I don't really know what you see as wrong. More info would be nice.
Running the latest 32-bit snapshot on Windows 10 (64-bit).

@pesala:
I was looking for it, but it seems that the Vertical reading Option is related to the country.At least, didn't found it on the settings.
-
Regarding this launching maximized thing: It seems Vivaldi now launches in the last mode viewed. If you closed the browser in maximized view, it will launch in maximized view. if you closed the browser in a resized window, it will launch in a resized window. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is new behavior.
-
No access to address bar for extensions? IPvfoo is not working!
-
@chenyf: While I kind of concur as I mostly read horizontal text, some books (especially novels) from Taiwan read vertically.
-
Is this intended or a bug? The vertical option is only available when the Vivaldi interface language is changed to, say, Traditional Chinese.
I prefer to have the interface in English but still want to occasionally read vertically. Thank you.

Not to the country but to the language settings.
- Switch the UI language to Japanese
- visit http://www.nhk.or.jp/radionews/
Switch reader mode on and click on the gear symbol and you will see the setting.

@gwen-dragon Thanks Lilo. Unfortunately it didn't work for me; this new SS still can't stream Netflix, coz it still fails on H.264/MP4 at https://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html
Error occurs:

Despite those apparent failures, when i check /home/steffie/.local/lib/vivaldi i see that the version of libffmpeg.so now therein, IS a newer version than what was there immediately before running those commands; now is 3.3 MB [was 2.6 MB] & is dated today [was August last year].
Next i tried to update Widevine, but again error occurs:

So then, in case my version of Ruari's bash script was superseded, i downloaded the current version from https://gist.github.com/ruario/3c873d43eb20553d5014bd4d29fe37f1, then:
[steffie@Lappy-XPS15 Widevine (needed for Netflix etc; sourced with Ruario's script)]$ sudo bash latest-widevine.sh [sudo] password for steffie: The latest Widevine (1.4.8.1008) is already installed [steffie@Lappy-XPS15 Widevine (needed for Netflix etc; sourced with Ruario's script)]$
It seems i shall need to do my Lappy Netflix streaming with Stable not SS, til at least the next SS arrives...

@chenyf said in Vertical Reader Mode - Vivaldi browser Snapshot 1.14.1072.3:
Chinese people don't really read anything vertically nowadays
Well, some other languages support vertical writing systems too - and even if Vivaldi only makes reading more comfortable for a tiny fraction of Chinese, Japanese etc. users, it might still be substantial amount in absolute numbers

I run windows 10 and it really took almost 30 min for my tabs to load. There where no network activity according to the developer tools.
