Snapshot fix for DRM'd content on macOS — Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1692.4
-
On my Win10x64 Core-i5 snapshot is unresponsive and using CPU for about 5 minutes after start. In Vivaldi's Task Manager "Browser" and "App: Vivaldi" tasks with ~50-150 CPU values during that.
-
@tbgbe: I've tried with vivaldi --disable-extensions, but no changes
-
Just set the dark theme flag and bricked the browser, got a black screen then when i opened a new window a white screen, went back to stable before the flag existed and cleared my sync data but afraid to reinstall the snapshot in case it screws up again. can anyone give me odds or tell me where flag condition data is stored locally?
-
@ian-coog: Ooh, yes, this is a different bug, made a bug on it a little while back. Hopefully can get fixed soon.
-
@starpaw: We've attempted to fix the issue / investigated it, but have no solution to it yet. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can get some extra eyes on it.
-
@temkem Looking at it in the inspector, it is called "wifi configurations". Maybe this got included with the sync part of the engine update, but vivaldi has yet to make use of it.
-
@mpc46: I assume you already issued the workaround listed in the know issues above, i.e.
sudo chmod -R +r /var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/WidevineCdm
If you did and you are still having problems, could you issue the following command and let me know what it prints back in the terminal
sudo dash -eux /opt/vivaldi-snapshot/update-widevine --system
-
@christiehmalry took a risk the flag was unset but as a heads up, i got away with the ''invert everything but images'' dark theme flag but if you just set it to ''enable'' it glitches out and you'll need to reinstall (windows 10, 64 bit, ryzen 2700x, gtx 1070ti )

It is said that various performance improvements are done. However I noticed worse performance after latest stable and snapshot versions. Every click in UI has bigger delay than before, speed dial page is opening slowly, picture is painting in half. Animations are struggling now with just 3 tabs opened, before it was struggling when 5 and more tabs opened. I guess it is something with Chromium, because I noticed slower opening start page also on Edge Canary, few builds ago.

sorry but where is that "invert everything but images" setting you're talking about?

@iAN-CooG hi sorry for being vague , the first was the one i got away with it applied a nice dark theme to the internals the dark reader extension couldnt reach it had some visual ticks so i tried the second just 'enabled' and that gave me a black screen on one window and a white on another
-
@christiehmalry sorry had already edited it when you posted

@rseiler I agree, i cant say how long it will continue as i haven't re-booted the machine yet but i'm still getting chrome notifications after updating to the new snapshot with the flag missing.
-
@aronand: Please do, and thank you. I spend most of my day doing web-dev, but I truly love Vivaldi and the wholesome experience it offers. Right now, using devtools is a no no, so I keep having to open an instance of Chrome/Chrome Canary open for that purpose.
-
Uh, very strange. UI freeze - signinificant cpu utilization -> it takes a time to unfreeze. Two different ntb, win10/7. Back to fluently working 1657.11

The
sudo chmod -R +r /var/opt/vivaldi-snapshot/WidevineCdm
does the trick, if you do it straightaway. I ran the update-widevine on a couple installations before doing that, and messed things up.
It works fine now on deb 9, 10, and manjaro. In manjaro, the lib is under ~/ -
For some time now, vivaldi has been working with strong delays, regardless of whether it's stable or snapshot. For example, turning on a page shortcut on the home screen is very random and once it opens quickly, it opens up to 5 minutes. I don't know, maybe Vivaldi is regressing?

New error pages? Got this by ctrl-clicking
https://
in addressfield when on this forum — but happens on everyhttp
orhttps
page I tested.
-
@potmeklecbohdan Something's fishy with ctrl+clicking on the protocol. For me it searches "https" using my default search engine.
-
@LonM Disable searching in addressfield and try again. Do you see that, or just a normal error page like if you'd type it manually?
