Vivaldi 2.11 improves Pop-out video

@CD04
Hi, move mouse to the display edge until they fixed all the bugs of the new feature.Cheers, mib

Please, make possible the picture-in-picture video scrolling, rather than pause and full-widow modes.

Sorry to be negative but this feature is annoying for me. I don't see any use for it. As when using it on youtube and changing page the video stops. On what sort of site is this useful? I am guessing maybe extremely long scrolling websites with many embedded videos? I actually dislike the feature on some news sites where a video auto plays and then when scrolling it moves to the bottom right and continues playing when you just stopped it. I am guessing from reading a few threads there is no way to disable it? It is very distracting and I would vote to have it reverted.
edit: actually I see now that it is has popped out of the whole browser, not just the video player on the site. I can see a use for that. Watching in the background while working etc. I will see how it goes.

Not a big thing, but after the update, the option for "Search Field Display" went from "Disable" to "Show in Address Bar"

@rekuzar: I reported this last snapshot but more info has come to light regarding this bug - it might be AMD-specific.

Can you please share your GPU model & driver version?
-
@blackguard This seems to be the case, thanks. I use a Radeon RX 5700XT with driver version 20.1.3. When I start Vivaldi with the
--disable-gpu
flag everything runs fine.

I've found another issue and already filed a bug report:
I have a 4K monitor and since the latest update (2.11.1811.33 (Stable channel) (64-bit)), the Windows explorer that pops up when saving files, looks blurry, especially text, but also icons and thumbnails. This didn't happen before with Vivaldi 2.10 and it also works fine with all other browsers I've tested (Firefox and Microsoft Edge).
Have a look for yourself:
(I'm not sure if the image will look blurry here as well, because the Forum might resize it)
Anyways, here's the bug number: VB-63355
-
@somiknight: how would that work if the page had several videos?
-
@HellbillyDeluxe I reported this as well a while back:
(VB-62626) Vivaldi does not use application DPI awareness for file OS native Open/Save dialogWorkaround is to go into properties for vivaldi.exe and set override DPI scaling to "Application".

Dropdown panel, select video by title? Or pop out only the video which is playing/paused?I know there is no ultimate solution, but this overlay button should be improved in every browser, not just Vivaldi.
-
I don't like Pop-out feature. Should it be disabled by default?
Waiting for the disable setting in the next snapshot. -
@Stardust yeah I don't like it too. It is so annoying now, because I ussually keep cursor on video and move cursor ro change volume etc. and that icon is disturbing! I can't watch hq videos because of it
Can you add settings for turning it off?
-
@Pathduck Thank you, that did the trick for me as well and everything is back to normal. Thanks again for your help!

New Vivaldi user; switched from Chrome, tested Brave and Opera and came back to Vivaldi. But I'm with the "why won't this button go away?" gang. Every video, the little white button I'll never use, ever, hangs there like a cloud in my otherwise clear sky.
But I love you anyway, Vivaldi. In spite of your cloud. Now fix it.
-
VIvaldi started crashing for me after updating. Probably crashed at least 10x now seemingly pretty randomly. Also had some youtube tabs become completely black, the entire vivaldi window.
-
BTW it is so annoying when I accidentally click on the Miniplayer button on YouTube.

Seems messy, when a simple button over the video you're looking at does the same job.

That's not true. Opera and Maxthon have great implementations of this feature and have had it for a quite a while.
Both allow bigger than 1/4 screen size,
They have a time scrubber, and volume control on maxthon,
They allow disabling of the feature,
They don't have it show on gif's etc.
The icon on Maxthon is outside the video frame so isn't as annoying,
Maxthon also opens the popup the same size as the video on the page, so you don't have to resize every time just to see anything.Neither browser is using the default Chromium PiP code (definitely not Maxthon) but they are much more refined. I think a lot of the issues is working around the default Chromium code. The Vivaldi team don't have to recreate the wheel here, most of the groundwork is there, they just need to work on the user facing things to make it work with the Chromium implementation of PiP.
Hopefully the next few revisions really cleans up the user experience of it.

@7twenty
I was talking about the button, not the whole player.This feature should be implemented at JS level, so each site should handle it natively, instead of the browser messing with it. There should be a fallback option for sites, which does not implement it, possibly in the context menu.

I've previously been using a seperate application for watching YouTube in a PIP window (myTube via Microsoft Store) but it's glitchy and has issues, such as not rendering the next autoplayed video and occasionally having the UI freak out.
Really happy to see this addition to Vivaldi, and it works on more than just YouTube which is even better!

PIP shows a black or transparent rectangle, that's it. Not clickable nor movable. For YT videos and Twitch streams at least that's what happens. Otherwise great, thanks!
