Minor update (2) for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 3.3
-
That is odd as they are playing perfectly now....i am so sorry to have bothered you with this .please consider it working now and my sincere apologies.
-
@priest72: It just required the restart. The codecs needed are installed in the background on first startup (if you are using a non-official install method). This is the issue you saw
-
@gwen-dragon: Restart once and it works
-
@gwen-dragon: Also why would you delete /var/opt/vivaldi? The report feels a bit like, I broke it and it broke.
-
@gwen-dragon: But you need to restart anyway. Because we don't fallback whilst the browser is running, i.e. we don't unload and then dynamically reload a new lib and we never have. It all happens on startup.
-
Testing it is tricky because the system I wrote to fix things is pretty aggressive in trying to correct broken codecs.
But you should be able to, like so:
- Shutdown Vivaldi and open a terminal
- Issue:
export VIVALDI_FFMPEG_AUTO=0
- Issue:
sudo rm -r ~/.local/lib/vivaldi /var/opt/vivaldi
- Issue:
vivaldi&
You should then see this message in startup
Now only open codecs will play.
P.S. I tested the webm you linked and it works fine but on the example site it is not trying to load this because they specify h.264 first. That is something we have failed to handle well for an exceptionally long time on Linux. On the plus side a restart would, in the vast majority of cases, allow the h.264 version to load anyway... so not exactly the worst issue (nor is it in any way related to the changes in this update) but yes it is technically incorrect.

It seems like with the new private window theme, even if you have a window background image configured so it appears with your theme, if you select it as a private theme the private windows won't use the window background image. Someone pointed this out on the 3.3 release post, but no one replied. Is this a known issue?

VB-71391: Unfortunately not fixed here, while waiting for Resolving host... for example withhttp://novalidsite
, if you go to the end of the url and holdBackspace
orCtrl+A, Del
to delete, the url is showing up again continually.I think it was also reported that this happens as well with other protocols that try to open an application and you cancel it, for example:
ppp: test
P.S. Any progress with the flashbangs? VB-71409. The cat doesn't like it
Vivaldi 3.3.2022.45 / Chrome 85.0.4183.106

Thank you! However since this major version, I am unable to play most videos on my old Macbook Pro from 2011. It may be that the graphics chip is being blacklisted as old but it worked slightly better before 3.3.

Greetings Vivaldi devs, I'm on Solus KDE Plasma using Vivaldi 3.3.2022.45, and while the accent color from the active page does work, it only works sometimes. When using multiple tabs, a lot of the time say IMDB's site will override say Rotten Tomatoes, so both sites accent color is yellow. One should be yellow and the other red, but that's not the case. This happens with a bunch of other sites too. Also, even when u set your own theme, sometimes sites like Twitter will turn it blue for the accent when you've set the accent to be say black for everything. Hope this fix gets re-fixed! Love using the Vivaldi browser on Linux and Android btw! Keep up the great work.

@gwen-dragon: It's totally random, very hard to replicate. Sometimes it works just fine and sometimes it don't.
-
@gwen-dragon: Like iPristy said below me, it's pretty random most of the time. Sometimes when I go to say https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk the accent color is orange (aka normal), then I'll switch to a new tab to https://www.twitch.tv/ and the accent will be purple (again, normal), but at least more than half the time if I switch back between the two, Twitch might go orange and OMGUbuntu might go purple. I don't know if it matters if the tabs are next to each other, or if it matters if there's a few other tabs in between them, but it happens randomly, and it happens often. This was not the case with this issue prior to the updates from this week. I hope this info helps, if only a little. Good luck!
-
@gwen-dragon: Thanks for the reply and it's no trouble, I'm happy to use Vivaldi in whatever state it's in, to always make it better is the goal, so it's all good. I'll do what I can to report the bug and thanks for your assistance in the matter, much appreciated!

I can confirm this strange behavior when using accent color from active page. However, I believe I have found a consistent way to reproduce at least part of this wierd behavior.
Start here on this forum with a light blue tab.
Press Ctrl-Shift + Delete.
Check ONLY 'Browsing History'.
Press 'Delete'.
Now open New Tab (I set DuckDuckgo.com as New Tab).
I expect an orange colored tab.
The tab color is actually set to default accent color according to theme.
Refreshing page changes nothing.
Close tab.
Open New Tab again.
Tab color is orange as expected.
New Tabs continue to open correctly until I clear 'Browsing History' again.Also, local files do not use default accent color, but use tab color of last website visited.
I would like to know if someone else can verify this before reporting it.
-
No i got a shorter one...
Open one tab, than open another and jump on first tab again than click the other one and it's the same color as the first tab.
The trick is, don't let second tab load 100% before clicking the first one.
-
I would still like to know if someone can reproduce the problem by following exactly the steps I posted above, as there is no timing involved and I can reproduce it 100% of the time.

Thanks for the update. Just a little question: with this version when you search a word in a page the word gets highlighted with a nice "zoom in-zoom out" effect. Is this something specific to Vivaldi?
