Browser not seeing website videos - same old same old as Opera
-
I see Vivaldi has the same issue with videos on sites that Opera has. It's why I switched to Vivaldi, but to no avail. Details:
Vivaldi 2.2.1388.37 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Revision 15234034d19b85dcd9a03b164ae89d04145d8368-refs/branch-heads/3578@{#897}
OS Linux
JavaScript V8 7.1.302.31
Flash 32.0.0.114 /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36 Vivaldi/2.2.1388.37Can some one tell me why this happens and what can be done?

@dustpuppy Did you read the Sticky Thread?

Yes, I read the sticky, but I don't understand what it means to me: H.264/MP4 is dead, the others work.
I ran the suggested terminal command, got this:curl https://launchpadlibrarian.net/394835580/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_70.0.3538.77-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb |\ > tail -c+1075 | tar xJ -C ~ --wildcards \*libffmpeg.so --xform 's,.*/,.local/lib/vivaldi/,' % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 1078k 100 1078k 0 0 41380 0 0:00:26 0:00:26 --:--:-- 263k
and I'm still getting this error:
This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser Error Code: MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED
So what does that all mean?
