Solved Netflix troubles Mac Os
-
@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.

@mazal Your settings are NOT stored in /Applications/Vivaldi.app , so it's safe to download the latest "Vivaldi 6.0 for Mac" from https://vivaldi.com/download/ , delete the broken Vivaldi.app from /Applications , and install the updated build that you just downloaded.

@Ruarí said in Netflix troubles Mac Os:
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. -

Can you narrow down how long "a bit" is? days? weeks?
within the next few hours

I have reported the same issue in the following post,
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/87090/netflix-troubles-mac-os?page=1The problem is supposed to be fixed with the new revision of Vivaldi. Please go and try this.

There is a new update now (6.0.2979.23) that should resolve this for all users (once upgraded)

@wingkeiw Thanks for your reply. I have automatic updates on so it was the most recent version of Vivaldi
However,
After posting the above yesterday I decided to delete and uninstall Vivaldi completely.Installed a fresh download from the website and the problem is gone.
Maybe after many compounding updates, something goes wrong and the webplayer engine stops. In any case its all fine now.
Hope this helps others.
(Just remember if you do this to sync your settings) -

That is why it works for you now because we replaced the binary with a working one. As I started yesterday in the other thread

No, that is not why. It is because you downloaded again.
Also we have now fixed it for everyone by issuing another version with a higher build number and enabling autoupdate.

I just now downloaded the Vivaldi update [ Vivaldi > Check for updates > Download ] and that fixed the problem I had been having with Netflix, Primevideo, and Kanopy.

Done. Netflix ; Prime ; Hulu ; Disney+
Gosh, I am such a fan of Vivaldi Team. Thank you to @Ruarí, et al. for rapid response. Thank you for a collective place to freak out. Thank you to the few who were gracious enough to handhold me through (I suppose) a rather minor fix.
