Videos do not play on Linux
Thought developers had solved this long ago.
Vivaldi 5.3.2679.68
Gentoo
ffmpeg 4.4.2 (built with chromium use flag): “Builds libffmpeg.so to enable media playback in Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Vivaldi.”
Went to:
help.vivaldi.com/desktop/media/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/
Restarted Vivaldi several times. Video never plays with no indication of the problem.
Every time I start Vivaldi (from a terminal), i get:
“Proprietary media’ support is not installed. Attempting to fix this for the next restart.”
I also see a popup that says:
“Media support
Vivaldi lacks a suitable component to play HTML5 ‘proprietary’ media (H.264/AAC)”
Vivaldi gives no other indication of why it can’t play video.
