Cannot watch any video that isn't from YouTube
-
Hi I just installed Vivaldi on my new Windows 10 Pro PC and I immediately realised I can't watch any videos. The only site I can watch videos in is YouTube.
I already installed and allowed flash on the other websites to no avail. I tried things like clearing cookies and turning off hardware acceleration but nothing seems to be working.
This isn't a problem in any other browser I have. Only Vivaldi is having this issue.

@Cashmere Is your Win 10 including a Codec package?

Codec package
Not sure what that really is even after googling. I have VLC media player if that means anything (?)

@Gwen-Dragon 2.3.1440.61 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Quirksmode Website - WebM and Ogg/Theora play while H.264/MP4 is just black
There is a black screen and an X on the second website you gave.Any video I see on my Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch feed do not play. I also cannot watch anything on Netflix
I have no extensions installed

@Gwen-Dragon I checked my Windows version and it seems I am a Windows 10 Pro N version 1709. I am downloading the corresponding Media Feature Pack right now.

VLC, as every player needs codecs to execute the audio & video.
Btw: Codecs stands for Coder/Decoder -
Hello everyone I downloaded Media Feature Pack and it works now. Thank you!

@Cashmere Glad to hear, why not upvoting who provided you the fix?
