Vivalidi No Longer Plays Video
-
I've been using Vivaldi for the past year on my Mac, mostly trouble free. However now, it won't play ANY videos, particularly embedded video on Reddit, or some video on YouTube. This only started happening in the past two weeks. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the browser, but the problem is still there. These very same videos and sites play fine in Safari and Chrome, so this is a Vivaldi issue not an OS or codec issue. They also play fine in Vivaldi on Windows. What is causing this?
Random example: https://www.reddit.com/r/iRacing/comments/1cwsv63/tcr_is_boring_and_just_understeers_all_the_time/

I have also checked the trouble shooting steps in other similar posts, which don't help. I have also disabled all add blocking, which also doesn't help.
It does suggest a codec problem in Vivaldi though.

Nobody has any suggestions?

My computer runs on Linux (Opensuse Leap 15.5), but has similar problem. Videos from this Chinese website does not appear on the web page.

yep, i'm having the same problem. twitch streams don't ever play, reddit videos don't play, twitter videos don't play, it's super aggravating. i looked at a site to test what kind of videos your computer could play (https://tekeye.uk/html/html5-video-test-page) and it seemed to not be able to play any HTML5 videos at all. only the WebM video can play. this isn't an issue on my windows computer that's also running vivaldi, and i've already tried disabling all my extensions to no avail. really want to know if this can be fixed because its awful T_T
