Vivaldi & H.264/MP4 (MP3 too I think) & libffmpeg.so

[Stevo]

Youtube will stream you webm video if your ffmpeg.so doesn't support h.264, but some sites like Twitter, etc, will only stream h.264 mp4 files to the user...

nathan2423, I love the Vivaldi browser. :

This thread is focused on a problem that effects at least some of us. (Providing some different ways to save the same problem.)

& really, it doesn't effect me at all, since I put the later version of the libffmpeg.so file in a place that won't get overwritten when Vivaldi gets an update.

At some point I hope someone will start another thread focused on the positives of Vivaldi

Why not, just open another thread, I'm sure others would be thanksfull to add theire positive responses, helps, hints and howto's to it.

F.Y.I. Just updated to:

Vivaldi 2.2.1388.34 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

Its still using the same old libffmpeg.so

No surprise really...

Hey guys..

I wanted to make of mxlinux my daily driver, but ran into these issues described here with Vivaldi (my personal browser lately).. the latest solution I saw here wasn't working.. I'll leave here where I found something that did the trick.
https://gist.github.com/ruario/bec42d15 ... nt-2919699

Code: Select all

curl https://launchpadlibrarian.net/414953672/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_73.0.3683.75-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb |\
tail -c+1077 | tar JxC ~ --wildcards \*libffmpeg.so --xform 's,.*/,.local/lib/vivaldi/,'

Vimeo videos check. Also twitter feed had issues with loading media, no more of those.

I'll keep testing mxlinux, the forum was a great place to diminish the "pains" of jumping from another stable distro.. thank you all

Vivaldi is special:
The recommended way for Vivaldi is to start vivaldi within the terminal command line,
as it has a self-check build in, and will present the needed "curl" command line if needed.

Humm.. So i should have used that command to get the ffmpeg libs necessary? I should just start vivaldi within the command line? ..

Thanks, I worked perfectly the proposal of @cornelyus7
