@hekel:This package primarily aims for users of the non-snapshot version of vivaldi. The dependency on vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs is not unnecessary for them.

Also, please note that there ARE actually request in the vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs package to add a provides=(vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs), which would solve your problem but hasn't yet been incorporated by the respective maintainer.

I have that same problem, but its easily fixed tho, if you already have vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs installed, just change vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs to vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs on the depends() line in the PKGBUILD file.

This unnecessarily pulls in 'vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs' which is particularly obnoxious because I only use 'vivaldi-snapshot' and already have 'vivaldi-snapshot-ffmpeg-codecs' installed.

@nuario: The direct download approach has already been tried a few weeks ago, but unfortunately it seems as if google does not update their WV-repo as regularly as they update their chrome (read: Their current 'latest' build is 1.4.8.1008, shipped with chrome is 1.4.8.1029)

Why pull down the entire Google?

Just get the lib directly:

$ WV_VERISON=$(wget -qO- https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/current.txt)

$ wget https://dl.google.com/widevine-cdm/$WV_VERISON-linux-x64.zip

@Rulatir: I'll try to figure out what could be wrong, but in the meantime could you please answer me the following questions? - What versions of Vivaldi and Chrome are installed? - Is the file `/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so` available and readable? - How did you elaborate that Vivaldi does not pick up widevine? Is it "just" amazon or netflix not working, or have you also tried watching the video linked in the pinned comment? Thanks in advance.
