specific media-source videos don't stream, but instead download then play; causes long browsing delays.

@hlehyaric putty.

@ybjrepnfr Forget it. It's not a macOS thread…

Forget it
too late, i already "forgot" it.

@ybjrepnfr If one can't peacefully edit their own posts…

Well, regarding "the problem" -
I added the feed from Tilvid Blogs
There was a video in "TILvids Update - January 2022" and this played OK for me (from the feed). No spooling/buffering needed.

Yes, you are as every knows!

@hlehyaric sigh, bitten by the 10 limit again.
Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't need to follow me. You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to think for yourselves! You're all individuals!

There you go, OT territory. I warned y’all she is a bad influence. Can’t trust a smiley. Just likes to watch it all burn

oh goodness -- after several minutes, this feed's video suddenly began playing! tried it again, and yes, after another interminable delay, it stops spooling and begins playing. now i don't know what to conclude.
same. Could be a new bug. I tried it also with odysee, some older entries need a couple of seconds there too, but not minutes.

@npro now i must, really i'm compelled, to express my great shock at finding someone else here who actually engaged with the question. what are you, some kind of troublemaker or something?
thanks much for testing it for me. dunno about you, but i'm just confused about this problem... or at least, it's reproducible by you & me, whereas not @TbGbe for whom it seems to be ok. aaaaaaand, no other channel, nor individual feed therein, misbehaves like this for me. by which i mean; if it really is a vivaldi bug, it's a pretty weird forensically targeted one!

@ybjrepnfr I too am having similar problems. Basically I find the phone's interface of WhatsApp a bit difficult to manage, especially when posting my comment from a nano onscreen keyboard. I have been using Web.Whatsapp instead on the desktop. Lately when a link to a feed is received often the response of Vivaldi is thumbnail of a "dead crow" lying on its back. Edge can handle that but it is a bigger PITA in many other respects. So Now I am experimenting with Comodo Dragon for the past 2 - 3 days. So far so good.
Don't like Chrome because it leaves 17 processes running in background blocking 2GB of memory + spying on mu other activities same as Edge. Can't and won't use FireFox under any circumstances. Hope the designers sort it out. Both are based on Chromium so why this anomaly?

yesterday, that same channel, a video took [i think something like] ten bleedin' minutes before it began actually streaming. my goodness! meanwhile, ALL other feeds for ALL other channels, continue to behave very nicely in vivaldi.
-
today https://tilvids.com/w/uDAf115m942nCza4TWWJHC took "only" 1 minute to begin streaming in vivaldi's feeds tab, so that's quite brief, historically. all other channels' feeds continue to be instant, so something clearly is still wrong.
