vivaldi-6.1 does not play video

[dmpogo]

Does anybody have the same issue ? Just updated vivaldi to 6.1.3035 and video's do not play anymore. Go to youtube, you see video snapshot, press play and end up with green screen (playback is moving ahead, sound is working).
I tried several sites with the same effect. All is working normally with firefox-bin. This is intel hardware, with recently enabled vulkan flag

What could be the issue ?

Have you confirmed you have the proprietary-codecs flag enabled? Its been a minute since I have used this browser, but I recall that and the widevine flag being the answer for Netflix etc...

Yes, it was a straightforward update from 6.0 version, all the flags remained the same.

It is not just youtube, it is also for instance local hardware store which shows products in images that you can zoom in. That just shows blank in place

Ok, it all works if vulkan is disabled in vivaldi config. Used to work fine with enabled vulkan with vivaldi-6.0

I would not be surprised if the issue is with ffmpeg-chromium which got updated to 114 from 106. Unfortunately I cannot go back to 106 since vivaldi-6.1 does not load it.
