On each installation, go to opera://about/ and check which path does it say under profiles. Are they all correct?

Since you are on gentoo, can't you just build chromium with libffmpeg and then move it on a location that opera expects to find it, instead of replacing the one opera provides?
Opera looks in these locations for that "better" libffmpeg
$ cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/resources/ffmpeg_preload_config.json [ "lib_extra/libffmpeg.so", "../../../../chromium-ffmpeg/libffmpeg.so", "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so", "/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libs/libffmpeg.so" ]

@pindos unfortunately, I don't want to downgrade
Opera based on Chromium 76 will be out soon, which will prevent sites from detecting incognito mode, and I'd like to upgrade to that ASAP

Unless what you're saying is not to downgrade for the long haul, but to test what I say is true, which THAT I could do.

At the very least, you've proven I COULD downgrade, so thanks 🙂
(I actually haven't made preparations cause I wasn't expecting it possible)

Feel free then to click the 3 dots, select "flag this post for moderation" and give the mods a good reason to remove it.
On the other hand, you could have put spaces between the words instead of blindly copy-pasting it from a 4 year old thread, for an equaly old version of opera and for a different os.

All I did was to mention that I do not see the issue you mention on my end.

Then it seems I am missing 2 things to verify if such a file plays as it should . One is the DAC and the other one is... a set of ears that can tell the difference.
And since I have none of the two, all I can do is verify that the file plays inside opera. And it does, like any other flac file would.
As for the downsampling, "unfortunately" opera is not a media player, so there is no way to check if it drops the sampling quality from 48k to 44.1k, so I also can not tell if it happens.

EDIT:
nvm, I guess this was just a fluke on a coincidental day I happened to be observing what happened when you stayed on the page while disconnecting.
after 2 days now I can verify it hasn't happened again.

I am interested to know what may have caused it to clear though >.>

See, that's where the difference lies:
I can do that as a user, no problem, because I edit my own profile.
Installed programs, or program folders, for this I need root rights.

@unknown-user01 said in Command-line-switch to enable vpn?:

I searched for the command switches via startpage.com and tried them around. I found some of them here:
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

Hey, I have that page of chromium switches bookmarked too!
Vpn on the other hand, is an opera-specific function and, since it is not listed in the extra switches of opera --help, it probably does not have a switch.

Udemy needs an account to let you access these videos, so I can not find what codec it uses, but it will be h264 most likely.
If that is the case, make sure you have libopenh264 installed, plus all 3 libav* ffmpeg libraries. That is for ff (and chromium, in case you also use it), opera will not use them at all, although it could and it should.

Kali logs you in as root, because many of its tools need root priviledges to run, and opera, being a chromium-based browser, can not be run as root.

If you do want to run it, regardless of any issues you may encounter (scurity or stability ones), edit its shortcut so as to make it launch with the --no-sandbox parameter.

@jimunderscorep said in Your file was not found, if the file resides in /tmp:

removing the snap version of opera and installing the deb one.

And welcome to "Some videos not playing?" club. 😉

Well, if someone has opera installed as a snap, he has probably installed it from ubuntu's "store" (I can't remember its name), so he is already using ubuntu or a derivative. It is really very to be using snap in debian or fedora or arch etc, because snap is not forced on users of other distros.

So, since he is already on ubuntu, he can install install opera as deb and chromium ffmpeg codecs, have the same result and benefit from the advantages of a real app over a snap one (lack of useless/pointless permissions, less space on disk, proper theming, access to system wide configurations for mail://, magnet://, etc).

I know you will say "but chromium ffmpeg codecs and opera versions do not match sometimes". For that, feel free to blame the ubuntu and/or the opera devs respectively, depending on which is left behind each time.
