Been experiencing crashes whenever I try to install an extension. Is this expected or is there some work around for this?

Found the answer here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/48823/installing-extension-crashes-vivaldi

@Twiki Thank you very much. The message is gone and the video on the link is working.

@JcNils One of the dependencies is "vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs" (check above). Its purpose is to playback proprietary video/audio. Check if you have it installed. If not, also read the pinned comment at its AUR page.

There was an update today, I got this message that it cannot play proprietary media HTML5(audio and video codecs) anymore.

https://help.vivaldi.com/article/html5-proprietary-media-on-linux/

It makes me wonder if it could not do it before but it did not show a message. Or if I could do it and I cannot do it now.

All sites I watch videos are working just fine. I guess no one uses those proprietary codecs anymore.

It is not impacting me, but I just thought I should post it here because of the message on the url.

Thanks!

Meanwhile, may I be added as a co-maintainer?

and vivaldi-arm64 packages into this one

@notrufus: Yes definitely. It's even worse in the latest snapshots, the whole window doesn't refresh and freeze with a few cpu core maxed out for a few secs.

Anyone having youtube playback issues with this version? I'm getting freezing when playing youtube videos (video freezes but audio continues so it's not a buffering issue)

@Dawa : w3m is not an actual dependency, its only needed to "make" the package. Thats also why its in the makedepends

Dawa, take a look at the last lines of the PKGBUILD, the ncurses browser is needed for the EULA.
