The latest version of vivaldi (3.6.2165.34) wasn't installed with udpate-ffmpeg and update-widevine scripts, but was also unable to update proprietary ffmpeg codecs itself after restart. So in the end I'm unable to play H.264 and other proprietary formats in the browser after update. Reproducible: Didn't try
On run it says: $ vivaldi 'Proprietary media' support is not installed. Attempting to fix this for the next restart. <...> But after restart it's the same.
I don't think these are intended to be installed and may in fact break things if used, from the ebuild: # Remove scripts that will most likely break things. rm ${VIVALDI_HOME}/update-{ffmpeg,widevine} || die I gave it a try with that version and USE="priorietary-codecs widevine" and playback is working as expected.
> USE="priorietary-codecs widevine" Thanks. Looks like I've missed introduction of these flags. I think user should be warned about them in the package message after installation.
Same here, missed these new USE flags. Funny that enabling them downloads the whole chrome tarball
