Video is working for me on vivaldi without any trouble. I installed vivaldi from MX Package Installer, Popular Applications tab. I have version 2.9.1705.41 installed. I just tried it with videos from youtube and invidio.us. If you tell me a site you are trying to play video from, I'll try it.

I don't know whether the libffmpeg.so version has been updated for the Vivaldi installation or not? I haven't used that browser for quite some time? It may well still be a problem, as it was an ongoing problem for the many months that I used that browser.

If pertinent, there is info' on this problem in this thread (including a variety of ways to get hold of a required version of libffmpeg.so:

Not sure what you did. Here how I have tested successfully:
Within MX 19 : On command line update packages

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Within MX Package Installer -> Populare Apps -> Browser -> Vivaldi
Install or Re-install Vivaldi.
Open Vivaldi at: https://help.vivaldi.com/article/html5- ... -on-linux/
Success:

If no success:
Run in terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg

There is some kind of problem between the latest version of Vivaldi and some Linux installations. It's a strange interaction that causes a timeout when installing the codecs on slow networks. This might be your problem. It will be fixed, presumably soon,, or check out my interaction with a Vivaldi dev here (go to post #50 on page 3 for the money post) for the manual solution, which is:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i '/^  DOWNLOAD/s/ \(-T\|--connect-timeout \)[0-9]\+//' /opt/vivaldi*/update-{widevine,ffmpeg}

Thanks paul1149 using that command worked it allowed me to run and get the correct updates from the Vivaldi repository. The solution I found was

sudo sed -i '/^ DOWNLOAD/s/ \(-T\|--connect-timeout \)[0-9]\+//' /opt/vivaldi*/update-{widevine,ffmpeg}

followed by

sudo /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg

Great @zukahn1, I'm glad that worked for you. Perhaps you would edit the title of your first post in this thread to include [SOLVED], so others could more readily find the solution.
