@adamdylan video plays for me in Vivaldi 3.1.1929.3 snapshot, win7 32bit. What version are you using?

@adamdylan Video plays, but no sound.

@adamdylan If by May 2020 you mean the latest Windows May update (version 2004) then it's pretty probable that something was broken on your side due to it, it isn't the first time Microsoft breaks something with its major updates. There's already a list with known issues , maybe you should check it to see if it concerns you (broken drivers for example).

Version: 3.0.1874.38 (64-Bit)
