I smiled when I saw today’s build number 1.0.300.5 and knew it was perfect for a snapshot because I instantly thought of the famous scene in the movie “300”, where King Leonidas kicks an enemy into a pit. I found myself visualising our founder Jon, shouting “THIS IS VIVALDI!!!” and kicking bugs into one of one of Iceland’s famous volcanoes. 😉 If you think the same, fan art below please!
Improved HTML5 Video and Audio support
We now support an even wider range of video and audio formats. If you were having issues with audio/video on certain sites previously please test them again, as you should see an improvement. If you countinue to encounter issues or experience new ones, let us know.
The changes we have made to support these formats require recent versions of Windows or MacOSX (older versions may still encounter problems due to certain features not being present in your OS). On Ubuntu Linux, you need to install the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package and restart your browser before Vivaldi will start supporting them. If you use another distro, read this page for more information on how you can get these video and audio formats working.
As always, thanks for testing. The whole Vivaldi team wishes you a great weekend (just remember to post that fan art)!
