Description Rafał Mużyło 2020-02-14 19:45:58 UTC
This would be just a forum post, if not for the problem being acknowledged by the upstream and the the only solution given a quite dirty one.

See the url: users are pretty much referred to nwjs.

Can Gentoo do better or at least handle this in the in-tree ebuild ?
Of course, if creating a wrapper that would redirect it to the system ffmpeg be feasible, that would be even better.
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-02-15 08:52:45 UTC
Perhaps you should have a look at /opt/vivaldi/update-ffmpeg?
Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2020-02-15 14:27:23 UTC
...sorry, but that's sot of non-answer.

Yet, further research point to https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1103776.html

So, the solution is based upon media-video/ffmpeg[chromium]...

Well, that's something.
Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2020-02-16 13:08:33 UTC
...yet, for some reason simply linking doesn't work...

In bug 653448 there were some hints for vivaldi, but they don't seem valid for opera...

Were exactly in the code does chromium handle the loading ?
