       Latest Vivaldi update broke h264 hardware accelerated video decoding on Linux for me. Vp9 still works though. I have no idea how that can happen.

       @alyx That may not be Vivaldi's fault. Did you get a mesa update recently? Some distros are disabling h.264 hardware decoding support in mesa

       @LaoBan That could make sense. I'm using Manjaro, and I just had a big system update at the same time as the Vivaldi one. Which begs the question, why did they disable h264 in mesa then?

       @LaoBan vainfo confirms I've got no h264 support system wide.

       @LaoBan I found news on Fedora doing this, can't find shit on Manjaro or Arch taking the same approach, but I guess it did happen. I'm contemplating building from AUR, but considering I have no guarantee it will enabled it again, or that it won't go away as an option there too, don't think I can do much. This fucking sucks... I thought Linux was over having to deal with these fucking stunts, where you had to do backflips to use basic features.
