# Also, I am aware there is an AUR package, but it seemed out of date. | |
# From http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/ download the latest version of the ffmpeg codes | |

# For the sake of sanity create a temp folder first ;-) | |
# Download latest package | |

# Locate where you've installed Vivaldi, when you used AUR it is most likely under /opt/ | |
# Now install the libffmpeg | |
$ sudo install -Dm644 usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so /opt/vivaldi/libffmpeg.so | |
# Restart all you Vivaldi instances. To make sure it is working, start it from a terminal first, | |
