no audio/video streaming or meeting
-
When I tried to hold a Google meeting I got messages that audio and webcam were blocked and told to click something in the upper bar that did nothing. I looked around and did not find a way to fix this. Then I tried to watch something on revry.tv and got image but no sound. so what's the solution?

Pretty sure it's a propitiatory codecs issue. It's how I did it before. Need to do it every update. This will point you in the right direction. 2 links

@Anathanatas If I recall you download Deb Snap file. The only part of the directions I have lol (extract file. CD to here Command sudo mv libffmpeg.so libffmpeg.so.6.5 then sudo mv libffmpeg.so.6.5 /opt/vivaldi.
in vivaldi address bar vivaldi://flags disable-gpu-rasterization) 6.5 may be out of date. Got this months ago. -
@Anathanatas Vivaldi 6.7 brings its own libffmpeg which suits the version which is installed.
It can take a while after installing as it is feteched from a Chromium package repository and sometimes download can fail.
You can check at /var/opt/vivaldi/ if there is a folder with a libffmpeg,so.test@debora:~$ ls /var/opt/ vivaldi test@debora:~$ ls /var/opt/vivaldi/ media-codecs-114023 test@debora:~$ ls /var/opt/vivaldi/media-codecs-114023/ libffmpeg.so test@debora:~$
If media/video fails, you can try to update by hand:
- Update the lib for the current user:
/opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg --user
- Update the lib for the all Linux users:
sudo /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg --system
- Update the lib for the current user:

Clearly not getting lib Pi 4 X64 Bookworm. I haven't had video for at least 6 months. I use vivaldi for email only now. Fixed it once updatre broke it. Started using Chromium for browsing. Check every update getting ready to go back to Thunderbird -
@JJL I do not know if that helps for Rasberry Pi
⇒ https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/42273/solved-html5-codecs-again -
@DoctorG I figured out a solution.
sudo find / -name "libffmpegso" | xargs ls -alsudo cp chromium libffmpeg.so to vivaldi lol
video is dropping frames but, better than nothing. I can live with it. audio is more important for the majority of videos
-
@JJL Oh, i did not know that a copy of libffmpeg.so from Chromium 124 works.
-
@DoctorG Working perfectly! And Chromium is 124.6367.73. Thanks again!
-
@JJL Thanks for information on Chromium core version of libffmpeg,so.
