Support for MX and antiX Linux distros
http://www.forum.mxlinux.org/
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.zukahn1 wrote: Sat Dec 07, 2019 9:37 pm Latest Vivaldi browser ffmg-extra codec for HTMl video don't work won't play imbeded video earlier versions before recent updates worked fine.

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:zukahn1 wrote: Sat Dec 07, 2019 9:37 pm Latest Vivaldi browser ffmg-extra codec for HTMl video don't work

Perhaps you would edit the title of your first post in this thread to include [SOLVED], so others could more readily find the solution.zukahn1 wrote: Fri Dec 13, 2019 6:03 pm 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
