Nvidia Shadowplay Not Recording Fullscreen Videos

zinetx

Hi,
Thanks for your continued improvement for this amazing browser.

I had a problem since I started using Vivaldi, which is: When entering fullscreen in any video by any site, YouTube, my local streaming service, live videos, ...etc. And save the video recording either by Nvidia ShadowPlay, or by Nvidia Record, it stops on one frame as soon as I enter the fullscreen mode, It works on the browser without any problem if there's no fullscreen mode.

I tried this with Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Torch Browser, none of them had the issue with the fullscreen.

I also noticed that it doesn't stop on one frame, because the mouse moves.
This is an instance where the image didn't even enter the fullscreen, please note that most of the time it enters the fullscreen but as soon as controls are hidden, it also stops on one frame for the entirety of the recording.

Just so you know, I tried troubleshooting by myself, removing the Geforce Experience and adding it again, restarting the PC, going to Vivaldi settings and doing trial and error with any setting related to video, fullscreen, miniplayer, ...etc. disabling them one by one to no avail.
I also tried this on older Vivaldi versions, I tried it with other browsers on the same PC and the issue wasn't there, it's only with vivaldi as if Nvidia doesn't recognize Vivaldi fullscreen or has an issue with it. I tried multiple trial and error methods with my system, Vivaldi and Nvidia software itself, disabled services, added priority to both Nvidia and Vivaldi in task manager,.....etc etc etc.

My specs: AMD Ryzen 1800x
Nvidia 1080 w/ Latest update for Geforce Experience.
16 GB RAM
main system on SSD, additional HDD.
Win 10 Pro 64bit (build 19040)

Vivaldi version
Vivaldi 5.0.2497.28 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Revision 334bc2c96e16fe06119fad8409b879fb76865055
OS Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1348)

Please note: There's no downloading here, I'm just recording using my Nvidia Shadowplay playback recording feature which lets you save the last minutes of your desktop.

Thank you.

I found something:
When activating "show controls" on a video and leaving the mouse hovering on any "controls" button, the recording wouldn't stop and it'll record normally. So this only happens when it's a fullscreen video with controls hidden.
Please help.

I feel like this is a ghost thread

@zinetx I think not much users here who use NVidia Shadowplay.

Please feel free to report bug to Vivaldi tracker. May be internal testers can check.
