Hi!
Yep....
I tried with Chrome "Version 113.0.5672.126 (Official Build) (arm64)"
Then, the result is the same ..... Error......

I feel like it is M1(and 2 either?) probrem.

By the way, It was same for Udemy video: could not see (just forever loading).
But not the youtube video (totally fine!!)

Thank you!!

yngve

Thanks for the info.

Youtube is AFAIK not using the DRM functionality involved in this case, so that should work find. Netflix&Co are requiring DRM, and something makes that fail for Vivaldi after our recent update.

A curious thing here is that you and @senbeinorimaki are both on M1-type systems, yet Chrome does not work for you, but does work for @senbeinorimaki , using the same build.

I wonder what the difference is? OS version perhaps?

@yngve
Thank you for AFAIK and DRM info. That is why Udemy also does not work.... hmmm okay cheers.

Differences:

@senbeinorimaki uses M2 and I use M1
@senbeinorimaki OS version? My OS version Ventura 13.2

Where do I download from the previous official Desktop build?

@IdanAdar I've had no trouble going back to 2979.18... (Look here.) It solved the problem, for Amazon Prime...

Also, I was pleased to find Intel-only builds available! (Sorry, Apple silicon users: You still have to download Intel code... )

Chrome works fine on Netflix, Disney+ and Spotify
but Vivaldi fails.

Here is the platform information:
Chrome: 113.0.5672.126 (Official build) (arm64)
Vivaldi: 6.0.2979.22 (Stable channel) (arm64)
Mac: MacBook Air M2

Can reproduce, having the same issue. I disabled the extensions and also tried on guest profile which yields the same error M7121-1331

Vivaldi: 6.0.2979.22 (Stable channel) (arm64)
Revision: 0d17fb5885899ddd2d5bdee8eb1b1a6fc9ad98c6
OS: macOS Version 13.3.1 (a) (Build 22E772610a)
JavaScript: V8 11.2.214.22
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/112.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

@gobohayashi Im on Ventura 13.4

I went back to Vivaldi 6.0.2979.18 for now. Everything seems to work in this Version.

I have the same problem. Besides, I have problems with other multimedia websites, for example, Spotify and Disney+.

For Spotify, the weird thing is that whenever I choose a song, it will automatically play another song which is 5-6 songs down to the original one. In addition, the song only plays for 9-10 seconds, and then the music will be muted and nowhere to be recovered unless I reload the whole page.

For Disney+, I can log in to the page, but I can't playback any video. It prompts "error 83" every time.

Finally, I have also checked Youtube, and it works fine without any problem.

Does anyone know the reason?

I have the exact same problem on Spotify after Updated to the latest version 6.0.2979.22.

Two days ago Spotify web player started skipping tracks without playing and then plays a few seconds of every 6th track if you restart playback then goes silent. I searched the forum for similar issues and found a post from 2020 (https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/51466/spotify-web-player-stopped-working) that addresses the same issue but seemed to have been fixed with previous updates of the browser. Now it happened again.

I opened safari to see if it was perhaps spotify's problem and lo and behold it works fine there.

Cleaned Cookies, DNS flushed, History cleaned, hard restart, etc do not help.

Is anyone else having this issue and has anyone found a fix for it or will we have to wait for a Vivaldi update ?

Thanks in advance.

Ok we updated the current stable (6.0.2979.22) with signing that is done slightly differentlly and should work.

This will fix it for anyone who downloads or upgrades from now but we will need to produce a new build with a higher build number to enable autoupdates for those that have a broken build currently.

That will take a bit. If you are reading this and cannot wait, manually re-download 6.0.2979.22 again and overwrite your current stable.

The new (corrected) build has the following checksums:

@Fubero Where can we report the error?

ugh. same as most folks here. Mac OS desktop: Vivaldi, Prime, and Hulu all fail. I can login and perform some functions, but not play any videos. Someone mentioned Youtube—which is fine, as is tv.youtube. Google's Youtube always performs well, it seems.

I watch mostly via android app on my television setup, so i'm not hysterical about it—but it does suck. I wanted to catch a quick clip of The Diplomats, which is how I discovered the bug.

Hopefully next update will have a fix. Anyone have any pointer to an official statement from Vivaldi (or vendors)? Someone mentioned Netflix error page re. Error M7121-1331 which is pretty useless.

@yngve great to have a Vivaldi Team member onboard the discussion.

I'm having same problems as other folks: MacOS 13.3.1 with Netflix, Prime, and Hulu all failing. Youtube, and tv.youtube work fine.My setup works on Safari and Chrome (with above vendors). I'm currently updating MacOS, but don't expect any improvement—and I don't know what an M1-type system is?

I assume y'all are working on a fix? As I mentioned in similar post I mostly watch via Android apps on television so not hysterical about it, but still kinda sucks. Any central location I can watch out for updates on this bug?

@mazal btw, i tried to edit my reply (for grammar) but it's now flagged as spam.

mazal

@Ruarí oh, this is great info and answers most of my questions (on another reply). I'd rather wait for a higher build via autoupdate. Can you narrow down how long "a bit" is? days? weeks? I'm not completely affected via MacOS desktop so I can wait (Mostly consume with Android/television apps). Just want schedule my anticipation—thx.

~~Did you see this:~~ Edit: Oops, looks like you found it while I was typing.

@Ruarí said in Netflix troubles Mac Os:

If you download the installer and run it again, it should fix it.

And the forum's anti spam is a bit harsh to new accounts since spammers often edit their posts with malicious links. Once you get some reputation (upvotes) it gets better.

mazal

@Ruarí fwiw, after upgrading to MacOS 13.4 (Apple M2 Max) from 13.1, Hulu now works.

Netflix and Prime continue to fail which I hope resolves after higer build, autoupdate.

mazal

@nomadic thank you! i appreciate the info and encouragement.

i'm hesitant to manually download—will it wipe out my carefully tweaked settings? I can pretty much follow the discussion, and look stuff up when necessary, but I'm not 100 as technically savvy as other folks here. I don't mind waiting for an autoupdate.
