Oh and in case anyone thinks that it is odd that we offer a fix for Slackware specifically and yet do not provide Slackware packages, keep in mind something we explained before: In summary, proprietary media works more reliably for even more Linux users! It is also worth reminding people that on Arch Linux, the vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs (found on the AUR and maintained by one of our Sopranos, Ike Devolder) provides support for these codecs. In addition, we now look for suitable libraries in the chromium-ffmpeg package on OpenSUSE (from the Packman repository) and AlienBob’s Chromium package on Slackware. With today’s snapshot we have made the system more flexible on Ubuntu by allowing the version of chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package to vary a little more than before. However, we would only accept certain (very recent) versions of this package, meaning that occasionally (in snapshots) proprietary media would stop working. On Ubuntu Linux, you simply needed to install the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package (which provides a suitable library) and restart Vivaldi. We have supported proprietary media (MP4 Video and MP3 Audio) since our October snapshots from last year.
