Problem with playing videos in Vivaldi on MacOS

uniqueairport

Hello everyone.
For a few days now, Vivaldi has stopped playing some videos correctly or not at all. On Facebook and Instagram, for example, some videos get the message "This video cannot be played", but other videos on the same websites work fine. I also use a movie database called emby. I can fully use and manage these via their own web interface, but videos no longer play (it shows an endless rotating circle instead). Everything works normal, if I use Safari instead.

My OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.3
Vivaldi 6.7.3329.39 (stable channel) x86_64

Does anyone have this problem and a suggestion for a solution?
Thank you for your help in advance.

@uniqueairport This has been an issue for a while. I can't use Vivaldi for Twitter, Facebook, etc because of this issue. I'd prefer to use Vivaldi, but have to use Chrome until the issue is fixed.

I opened a bug report in April:
(VB-106070) Videos not playing after Vivaldi Update last week (mac)

I assume there are others with the same issue.

Do you have the hardware accelerator turned on? I lost videos when I turned it off, but they came back when i turned it back on... (I know it doesn't fix the problem, but at least you get videos back?)
